Just in time for this year's Afm (get used to hearing that a lot this month), we have the first word and sales trailer for the new indie flick Morning Star from Luca Boni and Marco Ristori. Check it out along with a bit of artwork.
Adrian Bouchet, Mike Mitchell, Daniel Vivian, Ivy Corbin, David White, Rosella Elmi, and Ally McClelland star.
What's it all about? Why, fighting evil of course! You know... evil. It can be pesky. Especially medieval type evil. That's the worst kind. In any event, check out the trailer below, and look for more soon!
Synopsis
After a pitched battle a man is on his way back home, but it is just the beginning of a journey in a forgotten and dark world. He will meet weird and evil characters and fight for his freedom. Only at the end of his path the man will discover...

Written by: Marco Ristori and Germano Tarricone
Starring: Guglielmo Favilla, Alex Lucchesi, Claudio Marmugi, Rosella Elmi
The cover art for Eaters proclaims that the film is “presented by Uwe Boll.” This information should be more than enough for potential viewers to make up their minds. Mr. Boll did not direct this latest take on the zombie apocalypse, nor did he have much direct involvement with the production. So if the best your Italian zombie film has to trumpet is a tenuous association with the reviled filmmaker of House of the Dead, then you’ve already set the expectation level rather low. It turns out the Boll mention was an adequate, and honest, admonition of the resulting 95 minutes.
A mutant virus that turns humans into flesh-eating zombies has destroyed the civilized world. In a filthy, dilapidated compound a scientist with the unfortunate name of...

Uwe Boll didn’t actually direct Eaters but he does “present” it. Don’t let that scare you off because this Italian nod to Romero-esque zombie flicks has gotten some fairly decent reviews. We Americans will finally get our chance to get eaten this coming March.
Mark March 5th on your calendar because that’s the day the dead will be devouring DVD, the date when E1 Entertainment brings Eaters to American shores. If you want to know how long it has taken for North America to get Eaters, our own UK critic “Pestilence” penned a positive review of the UK DVD release all the way back in June 2011.
Marco Risori and Luca Boni co-directed; Guglielmo Favilla, Alex Lucchesi, Steve Sylvester, Rosella Elmi, and Richard Burton co-star; and, most importantly, Uwe Boll presents!
Synopsis:
After being devastated by a deadly epidemic, the world is now governed by hordes of living dead.

One film festival I'm bound and determined to make it to one of these years is the South African HorrorFest, but for now I'll just have to live vicariously through those of you who live close enough to attend. And after taking a look at this year's lineup, I'm pretty sure that if you are in the area, you won't want to miss it!
Growing into the country's ultimate Halloween event covering indie, new and classic movies, short films, music, literature and a range of Halloween festivities, 2011 marks the annual South African HorrorFest's lucky 7th year! It runs 26 October through 4 November.

Featuring Rosella Elmi, Guglielmo Favilla, Alex Lucchesi and Elisa Ferretti
There’s something magical in learning to trust again. Since 28 Days Later’s release in 2002 we’ve seen an unholy influx of zombie movies. From high budget to low, from the big to the small screen, they all seemed to be as infectious as some unnamed disease.
As the dead perpetually rise, it’s hard to maintain an unbiased view. What started as a fun, revitalizing trend for the horror genre has become a punch-line in recent years. Eaters, however, has one of the most enticing and interesting mixtures of zombie loving lineage going for it that I’ve seen in a long time. After the Golden Age of Italian zombie flicks started by some guy named Argento, this sub-sub-genre dwindled as British and American directors took on the undead and made as many...

Eaters: Rise Of The Dead
Guest Review by Dog Ate My Wookie
Stars: Alex Lucchesi, Elisa Ferretti, Guglielmo Favilla, Rosella Elmi | Written by Germano Tarricone, Marco Ristori | Directed by Luca Boni, Marco Ristori
To feel sceptical about a film presented by cult writer Uwe Boll feels almost universal. I’m in the same boat as a magnitude of others, right? It’s dampened further with a film titled Eaters: Rise of the Dead. Another addition to the post-apocalyptic zombie features that are churned onto DVD weekly, with most failing to strike an original spark and flailing incoherently into something that merely glorifies sanguinary carnage.
The world has become ravaged by zombies, again. But this time we’re in Italy, with the female population falling not only infected first, but being deemed infertile. Our story, however, follows two zombie hunters, Alen and Igor, under the jurisdiction of scientist Gyno,...

The end of the world: Italy. First the women died, then nearly everyone else died - and then, they began to come back...
You know the scene. The dead walk, the survivors are few, and to make things worse, they're all male. In an obscure corner of Italy, zombie hunters Igor (Alex Lucchesi) and Alen (Guglielmo Favilla) provide undead test subjects for the experiments of the rather twitchy research scientist Gyno (Claudio Marmugi). Gyno's main lab-rat, however, is Alen's girlfriend Alexis (Rosella Elmi), the only female not to have been entirely 'zombified' during the Great Epidemic - and perhaps the only chance of a cure and potential future for mankind.
Trouble lies ahead when the guys discover a healthy living girl who may provide part of the answer as to how the apocalypse came to be - and what exactly the mysterious Gyno is really up to back in the lab.
