You may have seen that recently here on Nerdly we’ve been reviewing a few more “underground” horror titles thanks to distributors Tetrovideo, films such as Vore Gore, Nightmare Symphony and Thanatomorphose. Now whilst we haven’t covered many underground/extreme horror on the site in the past – though we have reviewed films like Lung, American Guinea Pig: Bucket of Guts and Gore, Mecanix and Your Flesh Your Curse – that doesn’t mean we don’t watch a Lot of them. So with that in mind here’s a rundown of our Top 5 Extreme Films… in no particular order and with a caveat that, should you choose to watch these for yourself, you have a strong stomach and a penchant for debauchery and gore!

David L Tamarin, General Counselor of Harbinger, attended the shoot and expressed his concern that the material might be too strong for mass consumption saying "The film is about evil that is absolutely real.

The Profane Exhibit Synopsis:

Deep within the underbelly of Paris, there is a club which...

Dread Central has gotten wind of a secretive project being developed entitled The Profane Exhibit, a new anthology film dealing with the nature of corruption that looks to be a no-holds barred shocker. Although just a few slivers of information have been leaked about this ten-part compilation, what we've seen thus far indicates some serious pushing of the boundaries of good taste, and we've got high hopes for it.

Three of the film's ten directors have been announced, and it seems to be a true rogues' gallery running the show at The Profane Exhibit. Try these names on for size:

Directing a segment entitled Manna, straight from one of the most visually disturbing horror films ever created, August Underground's Mordum, is Michael Todd Schneider. That name alone should be enough to curl the toes of even the most hardened viewer. But that's just the beginning.

Manna stars AmberLynn Walker (Guinea Pig...

With The Theatre Bizarre, Chillerama, The ABC’s of Death and now The Profane Exhibit, the horror anthology is making a big come back. The Profane Exhibit, promises to bring together some of the biggest names in the international horror underground scene, and some of those names have now been announced via Twitch. The list contains two Canadian directors and cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy doing the score to one of the shorts.

Here are the details on the first three confirmed entries:

Manna – Edmonton, Canada ( 14 mins )

Director: Michael Todd Schneider (August Underground’s Mordum)

Cast: Amber-lynn Walker (Guinea Pig(TV) ) – 1st Apprentice

If you pay really close attention to social networks sites like Facebook and Twitter, you can discover yet-to-be announced projects that sound exciting. I found a promotional piece of artwork for a a film called The Profane Exhibit, and from the names on the poster, it appears to be an anthology with extreme directors attached to it. The most recognizable names are Ryan Nicholson,Yoshihiro Nishimura, Sergio Stivaletti, Andrey Iskanov and Adam Mason.

With The Theatre Bizarre, Chillerama, The ABC’s of Death and now The Profane Exhibit – the horror anthology is back in a big way.

If you have Netflix and are a horror fan in need of something to watch this Labor Day weekend, one look at this gargantuan list I compiled of the new terror titles Netflix has added for instant streaming in just the first three days of this month should keep you busy until Labor Day next year. You'll find something for everyone, from older titles to recent releases, famous to obscure, classic to not-so-classic, monsters to maniacs - you name it.

For the record, I considered compiling this list in alphabetical order or by year of the film's release, but then I realized I had already spent well over an hour just sorting through the massive catalogue of titles Netflix has now made available for instant streaming and realized Labor Day would be over by the time I finished arranging this list in any kind of order. Ready? Here you go.

Luckily for me Iceland appears to have appeased the fire gods. Air travel to Europe from Toronto resumed in full on Wednesday, just in time for me to hop on a plane to Estonia, where I am currently attending the Haapsalu Fantastic Film Festival - the weekend long horror series backed by the organizers of the Tallinn Black Nights festival.

Things kicked off in earnest last night with about a hundred and fifty local residents getting undead and roaming the streets of this small town - apparently a favorite spa retreat of the Russian Czars at one point - before ending up at the ruins of a Middle Ages castle - pictured above - for an outdoor screening of local short film Wanderer by Robi Uppin and French zombie action horror The Horde. I've made my opinion of The Horde clear elsewhere - I'm not a fan - but there's...

While fans of Broken and The Devil's Chair director Adam Mason have been awaiting the arrival of his dark comedy Luster - a film that has finally completed a lengthy post production only recently - the director himself has been cooking up a little something on the sly.

Together with frequent collaborator Andrew Howard, Mason has completed an entirely different film during the waiting period for Luster. Shot on the cheap and on the sly, with any word kept carefully out of the press until the film was complete Pig is a grueling exercise in single take horror, a savage satire on American gender roles built around a lunatic central performance from Andrew Howard. With the run time dominated by a single 70+ minute take this is something entirely new from Mason, a technical experiment that builds on the themes and approach of his earlier work.

But where to see it?...

A hearty list of healthy and horrendous yet heartfelt horrors arrives this Tuesday, July 8th, 2008...

American Zombie (2008)

Directed by Grace Lee

Set in an alternate reality where zombies are an everyday occurrence, a man decides he wants to make his name known to the film community by making a very important documentary about the undead. He brings on renowned doccumentarian Grace Lee, and together they set out to get the bottom of the real life of the undead. Not a bad concept, actually, and according to our American Zombie DVD review, one that’s pulled off pretty well. Buy it here!

Bat Without Wings (1980)

Directed by Chu Yuan

I’m confused by the title, but apparently this is a recurring villain throughout some martial arts films. In this one, after a five-year absence, the Bat Without Wings returns to the small village it’s made so miserable in the past,...
