When we last reported on Tomaselli, he was finally set to shoot something after who knows how many issues with The Ocean (which apparently got shelved), and that something was Torture Chamber. I said this in the piece in the link you can click above, this guy has great old school horror flare and if you haven't seen Desecration I'd highly recommend it. Tc is currently in post and I can't wait to see footage!

Torture Chamber is about a 13-year-old boy possessed by unspeakable evil. It's probably the first serious independent horror film in a long time that's in the vein of The Exorcist. The demon is called Baalberith, which, if you believe in demonology, tempts its host to blasphemy and murder," he told the site. "Jimmy Morgan is a pyromaniac, horribly disfigured from experimentation with drugs. This Catholic boy's family is crawling with religious fanatics. His mother believes »

New York -- Actors, producers and union representatives will speak out against New Jersey's plans to eliminate the state's production tax credit program at a hearing Wednesday.

Facing a big budget deficit, Gov. Chris Christie has proposed ending the $10 million annual program as of the beginning of the state's new fiscal year on July 1.

But industry folks highlight an increase in productions and entertainment industry jobs created since the launch of the incentives for film, TV and digital media projects.

Wednesday's hearing comes as New York state legislators continue to argue over their state's budget proposal, which includes $420 million in annual production incentives over five years, but has been held up by political conflict. N.Y. Gov. David Paterson in his budget bill listed the production incentives program as a key revenue generator as the credits have shown to boost tax revenue well ahead of any state outlays.

It has been nearly two years since last we spoke about Dante Tomaselli's Torture Chamber, and after quite a few setbacks thankfully the horror gods have finally prevailed! Tomaselli is getting ready to begin filming the movie later this month in New Jersey and New York!

Torture Chamber is about a boy possessed by an evil so powerful no priest can exorcise it. The boy comes back to his hometown after a failed attempt at it with an army of burned children at his command, whom he uses to abduct both innocent and guilty, dragging them to a nearby castle and subjecting them to all sorts of punishment. Bring it on!

The film is rockin' quite the cast, too, including Vincent Pastore (The Sopranos), Ed Neal (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), Lynn Lowry (The Crazies), Marilyn Burns (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre), and Christie Sanford (Desecration).

You haven't seen Iranian Kidney Bargain Sale? Then you haven't dipped a toe into the motliest crew on record

The other day I finally got a chance to see Iranian Kidney Bargain Sale, a documentary I'd been meaning to get to for some time. Chronicling the adventures of assorted young Iranians who sell their kidneys to buy a taxi, or finance their ­education, or pay off debts, Iranian Kidney Bargain Sale is not the kind of movie that is readily available at most local video stores. But it is available – free – in the movie section at YouTube. So is a lot of other stuff.

Mostly when I visit YouTube it is to watch cats falling off chairs, parodies of Heath Ledger's turn as the Joker or sportscasters being tormented by stalking sock puppets. But it was recently pointed out to me that YouTube also has a section that is »
