The Demon's Rook looks like a crazy fun movie that channels a lot of the things I loved about 1980s horror films. It's a low-budget movie that uses some really cool and creepy practical effects and makeup. This trailer gives you a sense of the insanity that you'll see in the film, and I can't help but smile.

Armed with demons’ magic, Roscoe is the only fighting chance to put an end to their eternal path of destruction.

Ready for a look at a contemporary horror flick that channels 1980's low budget creature feature fun? Shock is happy to bring you the trailer debut for The Demon's Rook which Tribeca acquired out of the film festival circuit last year and is bringing to iTunes and VOD September 30th.
James Sizemore directed the film. I recently caught his short film Goat Witch at the Fantasia International Film Festival and it maintains that Demon's Rook vibe, so he's definitely into that retro vibe that calls on copious amounts of practical FX and foam latex (no complaints here!).

If you grew up as a horror film fanatic in the 1980s, you may have run through most of the American slasher flicks and occult thrillers -- and then you rented Lucio Fulci's 1980 cult favorite Zombie, which hopefully led you to all sorts of gore-laden apocalyptic mayhem from Italian splatter-slingers like Umberto Lenzi (Nightmare City), Lamberto Bava (Demons), and Bruno Mattei (Night of the Zombies) -- which hopefully led you back to more Lucio Fulci. Anyway that's sort of what happened to me, and while it's true that the more refined "giallo" thrillers from directors like Dario Argento seem to get most of the respect these days, lots of horror fans still enjoy those cheap, gory, sometimes awful Italian zombie flicks.
If you're one of those people, there's a very good chance you'll enjoy a new low-budget independent horror flick called The Demon's Rook, which was made by a...

Over the past few weeks we've been keeping you updated on the expanding lineup of titles being added to Montreal's Fantasia 2013, the largest genre film festival in North America. Now that the list is a lock and the curtain is set to rise tomorrow night, we thought we'd gather up our own list of the Fantasia screenings we're most curious about. Some of the fest titles we've shared with you already, in some form or another: for example, we took a look at James Wan's The Conjuring, the grim Israeli killer flick Big Bad Wolves, Mike Mendez's monster bash Big Ass Spider! and E.L. Katz's mind-games thriller Cheap Thrills; some titles like V/H/S/2 and the psycho-thriller Magic Magic are seeing their theatrical, DVD and/or On Demand premieres this month, and Adam Wingard's You're Next screens at Comic-Con tonight. But there are still plenty...
