Proportion Productions are back with a slice of apocalyptic horror directed by Rebecca Matthews, flying solo this time without her partner in crime Scott Jeffrey; and writer Tom Joliffe, who some may know from his work on the website Flickering Myth but has also penned a number of British genre films in recent years, including Tooth Fairy: The Last Extraction, The Legend of Jack and Jill and The Leprechaun’s Curse. So we should know what to expect from Reign of Chaos, whose plot seems a bit more extravagant (i.e. larger scale) than the typical Proportion Productions film.
Reign of Chaos sets its stall out from the get-go, with an opening narration that explains that chaos has ravaged earth, literally (its the god Chaos), with a plague of the gods that is overwhelming mankind,...

"These three sisters have trained for this moment." Left Films has debuted a trailer for an indie action film titled Reign of Chaos, made by filmmaker Rebecca Matthews. This never premiered at any festivals and it mostly looks like direct-to-vhs junk, but maybe it crosses over into so-bad-it's-good territory. When the world is gripped by a plague unleashed by the evil lord Chaos, and humans are turned into rabid creatures, mankind can only be saved by three young women, descendants of a Goddess, with the power to stop Chaos' evil. It's a very strange, very confusing concept here. If it isn't the plague, then what exactly is it? Reign of Chaos stars Rebecca Finch, Marc Outbreak, Peter Cosgrove, and Rita Di Tuccio as Alina. This looks like it's all bark, no bite, with some heavy make-up thrown onto bad performances. Though you never know? Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Rebecca Matthews' Reign of Chaos,...

I’ve been a fan, nay Huge fan, of writer/director Charlie Steeds since I first saw his 2017 British-made pastiche of Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Escape From Cannibal Farm. Since then I’ve eagerly awaited each and every one of his films – though to be fair to Steeds, the releases of his film can be very haphazard. Winterskin debuted on DVD before The Barge People, which actually lensed first. Unfortunately, the UK release of the aforementioned Escape From Cannibal Farm remains in limbo thanks to 88 Films buying the rights and then deciding to focus on re-releasing cult films rather than new movies and sitting on it for 2 years (so far).
I finally got to see An English Haunting, Steeds’ take...

For every Child’s Play or Annabelle Comes Home it’s expected that a few low budget alternatives (or “mockbusters” as many call them) would be around at a similar time. Joker Clown though, is also jumping on the bandwagon of It and the sequel It: Chapter 2, so here we have a killer clown and killer doll all in one form!
Why the lead character ‘Lane’ purchased this doll in the first place I have no idea. There’s some attempt at an explanation which basically boils down to ‘she likes horror movies and it looks a bit creepy’ so she offers the local second hand shop seller £50 and it’s hers. Bargain!

This preview is for all the coulrophobes out there. ClownDoll is an upcoming, supernatural, horror film. Shot partially in London, the film features a possessed?, life-sized doll - with a painted face and crazy hair. At night, it haunts its new owner and her friends. Currently, ITN Films is set to release this title in October, on Digital formats. Directed by Scott Jeffrey (Unhinged), the film stars: Peter Cosgrove (Escape from Cannibal Farm), Sarah T. Cohen (End Game) and Jon-Scott Clark. A trailer and early movie poster is hosted here. The trailer begins strangely enough. Lane (Cohen) talks about being pregnant with her stepbrother's baby. Events get even weirder when Lane picks up a huge doll for her unborn child. Now, everyone is in danger as this doll has been cursed and its sole desire is to murder. ClownDoll is expected to release on October 5th, through Digital platforms. A...

I absolutely adored writer/director Charlie Steeds Cannibal Farm, a film that has seemingly been held to ransom by its UK distributors, with a release – under the title Escape From Cannibal Farm – promised for what seems like an eternity. In the meantime Steeds has filmed three more films, of which Winterskin is the last to be made and the latest to be released.
Essentially a two-character production, Winterskin takes a leaf out of Stephen King’s Misery in presenting a protagonist seemingly trapped by a cray woman, in this case in a remote cabin in the middle of snowy nowhere. Our protagonist, Billy Cavanagh, is “accidentally” gunned down in said snowy wilderness and desperate for shelter he’s taken in by kooky old lady Agnes,...

The Harver family head out on an idyllic summer camping trip where they can bury past tensions and enjoy some family bonding. But when their camp is sabotaged by an unseen intruder in the night, they head to the nearby creepy old farm desperate for help, where vengeful farmer Hunt Hansen and his hideously deformed son aren’t farming animals…
Let’s get this out of the way first. Yes, Cannibal Farm is essentially, at its core, a British pastiche of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; however the film has more than enough interesting story beats and great performances to make this film stand on its own two feet.
For starters Cannibal Farm, whilst featuring tropes...

Tagline: "All You Can Do is Run!" Charlie Steeds' Cannibal Farm will show through Video-on-demand, in 2018. The film, which is heavily influenced by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), was shot in the United Kingdom. Sometimes titled Escape from Cannibal Farm, this indie horror title involves a family camping trip and a strange farm. The family is attacked, leaving them stranded in the countryside. Cannibal Farm stars: Kate Davies-Speak (Deadman Apocalypse), Barrington De La Roche, David Lenik, Rowena Bentley, Toby Wynn-Davies, and Peter Cosgrove. A preview of the film's initial launch are hosted here. The film's official VOD movie poster has also been released. Very Leatherface-esque, the graphic shows a masked man and a large chainsaw. The chainsaw is obviously excited, while the tagline states: "all you can do is run!" The film promises to chain some of the characters up. High Octane Pictures is releasing the film, in the United States.

Belladonna Of Sadness
Release Date: Coming Soon from Cinelicious Pics Written By: Yoshiyuki Fukuda, Jules Michelet (novel), Eiichi Yamamoto Directed By: Eiichi Yamamoto Starring: Tatsuya Nakadai, Katsuyuki Itô, Aiko Nagayama
When I heard about Cinelicious Pics’ plans to restore and release the long lost 1973 anime Belladonna Of Sadness, I was well and truly excited. I’m a huge aficionado of 70s-era anime, and this baby has been a “holy grail” of sorts for folks like me for a good many years — much desired but damn near impossible to obtain. So that being said, and with those expectations set freakin’ sky high, let’s see if ol’ Belladonna was worth the wait or will it just fill me with sadness of my own!
Belladonna Of Sadness, based loosely (and by that I mean hardly at all) on the French novel La Sorcière by Jules Michelet, tells the brutal tale of Jeanne,...
