Making its premiere at the Slamdance 2013 film festival is Best Friends Forever, and we have some new stills and a trailer for you. Slamdance 2013 will be taking place opposite Sundance on January 18-24 in Park City, Utah at the Treasure Mountain Inn.

Directed by Brea Grant ("Heroes,""Dexter,"Halloween II), who stars along with Vera Miao ("NCIS", "No Ordinary Family") and Sean Maher ("Playboy Club,""Serenity,""Firefly"), Best Friends Forever was co-written by Grant and Miao, produced by Stacey Storey (Storeyteller Films), and is Grant’s directorial debut. Even cooler? The film was filmed on Super 16 on location in Marfa, Texas.

Synopsis
Two girls, a ’76 AMC Pacer, the open road, and an impending nuclear apocalypse. Best Friends Forever is a dark comedy and sci-fi horror film, combining equal parts buddy film, road trip, and nuclear apocalypse story... but with girls. Harriet (Grant), the perpetual but unsuccessful optimist, has finally figured out how to take her passion for comics and turn it into a responsible life. But when she and Reba (Miao), her seemingly devil-may-care best friend, hit the road to deliver her to grad school in Austin, Texas, and her new life, an impending nuclear apocalypse endangers even the best friendships and best-laid plans.

We've been a little skeptical about Eli Roth's sliver of original programming for NetFlix, "Hemlock Grove," but after watching the trailer, yeah, we feel much better. Check it out, and let the waiting officially begin.

Eli Roth's "Hemlock Grove" stars Famke Janssen, Bill Skarsgard, Landon Liboiron, Lili Taylor, Kandyse McClure, Freya Tingley, Dougray Scott, Aaron Douglas, Tiio Horn, and Penelope Mitchell. It's a Gaumont International Television production.

Written by Brian McGreevey and Lee Shipman based on McGreevy’s Gothic horror novel, "Hemlock Grove", consisting of 13 one-hour episodes, revolves around the murder of a young girl found close to the former Godfrey steel mill. The suspects in her killing include Peter (Liboiron), a 17-year-old Gypsy kid from the wrong side of the tracks, and Roman (Skarsgard), the arrogant Godfrey scion, whose sister, Shelley, is disturbingly deformed and whose mother, Olivia (Janssen), is the beautiful and controlling grand dame of Hemlock Grove. Scott plays Norman Godfrey, the older brother of Olivia’s late husband, JR, one of the founders of the Godfrey Center for Biomedical Technologies. Wealthy, but with modest tastes and an equally modest home, Norman is sickened by Olivia’s displays of ostentation and the way in which she spoils her son. Horn portrays a Gypsy witch-prostitute whose confidence games are a mask for dark supernatural abilities.

Pure White Tendency is a rare occurrence in the game, so this is a great way for newcomers to learn the gameplay and immerse themselves in the world of Demon's Souls. Additionally, enemies will drop fewer upgrade stones and more healing items. New areas and special NPCs will also be open; players just need to know where to find them.

Demon's Souls brings revolutionary online features support with seamless interconnectivity to enhance the single-player game. Team up with two other players in simultaneous cooperative play, working together to topple some of the game's colossal bosses, or force your way into the games of skilled players and challenge them to PvP battle. Leave hints and clues for those who will follow in your footsteps; either intentionally or through your own inadvertent demise, your bloodstains will allow your successors to view a replay of your death, hinting at how to avoid your gruesome fate. Unprecedented in its depth and subtlety, peerless in its relentlessly challenging gameplay, Demon's Souls is the ultimate action RPG.

About Demon's Souls
King Allant the XII, the last king of Boletaria, searched tirelessly to expand his might. The Nexus, a great ice shrine nestled in the mountains, bestowed the power of the souls onto him, bringing prosperity to his kingdom. Still unsated, he returned again to the Nexus, where he foolishly awakened the Old One from its eternal slumber. This long forgotten evil, now wrought upon Boletaria, plunged the realm into darkness and fog. A mighty demon horde poured into the kingdom, devouring the souls of men.

Champions from other realms learned of Boletaria's fate and sought to deliver the kingdom from evil; none would return from the cursed land. Called upon by a mysterious maiden in black, you go forth, the last hope for humanity in a place lost to demons and darkness... Demon's Souls is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

On Friday, January 11th, Open Road Films' spoof flick A Haunted House, which does its own humorous send-up of many of the recent found footage projects like Paranormal Activity, The Devil Inside and more, arrives in theaters nationwide.

To mark the occasion, we've got some exclusive interviews with several of the hilarious cast members including Marlon Wayans, Essence Atkins, David Koechner and Affion Crocket right here for you fiends. During a recent press day for A Haunted House, Dread Central caught up with everyone to hear more about their experiences making the horror-inspired comedy, their thoughts on improvising many of the film's gags, and somewhere along the way this writer ends up slapping Wayans on his hilarious ass (for real)- so yeah, all fun stuff.

Check out our exclusive video interviews with Wayans and the rest of the gang for A Haunted House below, and look for the flick in theaters this Friday!

In the Wayans family tradition of successful movies like Scary Movie 1 & 2, Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, and, most recently, Dance Flick, Marlon Wayans co-wrote the script for A Haunted House along with Rick Alvarez, who has produced several Wayans family movies.

Synopsis
In an outrageous send-up of the Paranormal Activity movies, The Devil Inside and other "found footage" movies, A Haunted House features young couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins), who have just moved in to their dream house. As they settle in, they quickly find they’re not alone. But it’s not the house that’s haunted; it’s Malcolm’s girlfriend who is possessed by a demon. Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship… or, more importantly, his sex life.

We're all waiting breathlessly for Legendary Films' new take on Godzilla to start stomping, and the good news is we're getting close. So close that some new details have hit the interwebs that give us an idea of where the plot is going.

CHUD reports that the promotional arm of Warner Bros. just wrapped a webinar detailing their upcoming slate for advertisers. Most of it [was] fluff, though a few things regarding WB/Legendary’s upcoming Godzilla reboot got [CHUD’s] source's attention. In the meeting the following was 100% confirmed:

The site goes on to say that even when Frank Darabont does his rewrite of the script, the above factoids will still remain intact. The film will be directed by Monsters helmer Gareth Edwards and has been dated for a May 16, 2014 release. Stay tuned for more.

We love reporting stories like these about indie features that find success. Read on for the details of what's coming up for Nick Gaglia's Altered States of Plaine.

Nick dropped us a line yesterday with the following update on his film: Since its world premiere in Brazil last May, Altered States of Plaine (or rather Estados Alterados de Plaine) has taken Latin America by storm! After playing at Fantaspoa - International Fantastic Film Festival in Brazil, Macabro Film Festival in Mexico, Buenos Aires Rojos Sangre Film Festival in Argentina, Post Mortem Film Festival in Mexico, and Montevideo Fantastico Film Festival in Uruguay (where it won a screenwriting award), the indie feature has been picked up by Turner Broadcasting and will be making it television debut starting this summer all over Latin America.

Filmmaker Gaglia (visit his official site here) was approached by a Turner exec in Porte Alegre, Brazil, immediately after the film's world premiere screening at Fantaspoa. This marks the first time a film at Fantaspoa has sold directly because of playing at the festival.

In addition, he was invited back to Brazil to present Altered States of Plaine at the 2013 World Social Forum in Porto Alegre and will be there from January 26th-30th.

Shot in four countries including France, Italy, Switzerland, and the US, Altered States of Plaine is a sci-fi tinged psycho-drama about a young man on the run from a mysterious government agency who is desperate to find a cure for a condition that causes him to wake up at random places around the world when he falls asleep. The film stars George Gallagher (Over the GW, Aaron Bacon) as the film's protagonist, Emanuel Plaine, and Kether Donohue (The Bay, Pitch Perfect) as Violet, a girl Emanuel rescues from being killed, who in turn helps him get his life back together.

Put together by an A-list crew consisting of editor Alex Hammer (who just won an MTV VMA award for editing Beyonce's "Countdown"), cinematographer Jon Fordham, sound designer Anthony R. Milch (Batman, Superman, Tron), sound mixer Andrew Kay (Emmy winner), and composers Jon St. James (Grammy nominee) and Marc Ribler.

Gaglia is also currently developing the story into an hourlong television series.

He sent us a few new stills from the film to share, which are below, and for more info visit the Altered States of Plaine Facebook page.

Good news for you cats out there looking forward to Matthew Spradlin's indie horror comedy Bad Kids Go to Hell! The flick has landed itself some distribution, and we have all the details for you right here along with a new still. Read on!

From the Press Release
Phase 4 Films announced today that they have acquired all digital and DVD distribution rights to BAD KIDS GO TO HELL, the thrilling dark comedic heir to THE BREAKFAST CLUB, from filmmakers Matthew Spradlin and Barry Wernick. In addition to directing the film, Spradlin co-wrote the comic and screen treatment with Wernick, who also produced. BAD KIDS GO TO HELL, which stars THE BREAKFAST CLUB alum Judd Nelson, had its theatrical release across the U.S. and Canada begin December 7th, 2012. The film will be available on several On Demand platforms this Friday, January 11th, while the DVD release date is yet to be announced.

The film, based on the popular comic book series of the same name, tells the tale of six private school students locked in a Saturday detention with a killer on the loose. Ben Browder (Farscape, Stargate SG-1, Doctor Who) also stars, as well as Ali Faulkner (The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1), Roger Edwards (Freelancers), Marc Donato (Degrassi: The Next Generation), Cameron Deane Stewart (Pitch Perfect), Augie Duke (The Mentalist), Amanda Alch (When Zachary Beaver Came to Town), Jeffrey Schmidt (Interstate), and Chanel Ryan (BASEketball).

Have you ever wanted to step into the shoes of one of your favorite scream queens? Then by all means keep reading because we have the lowdown on the "Kick Up Your Heels" auction supporting the Lancaster Opera House Theatre program for arts for children and teens.

Horror actress Brooke Lewis ("Ms. Vampy,"Slime City Massacre) dropped us a line to let us know about the Lancaster (New York) Opera House's 5th Annual "Kick Up Your Heels" online auction, which began January 2, 2013. All money raised by event will go toward the programming and development of children's workshops. A worthy cause if we've ever heard one!

Brooke told us, "When I was invited last year by the Kick Up Your Heels charity event to donate a pair of heels to support the Lancaster Opera House Theatre program for arts for children and teens, I was completely moved and excited! As Ms. Vampy, you know how committed I am to supporting tweens and teens; and as an actress, I believe that all young people should have an opportunity to be creative and express themselves. Theatre arts was a huge emotional outlet for me as a kid, and I want to give that to someone else. Plus, who better to donate high heels than me? Ask Sean Decker - I even wear high heels when we do Dread Central's Horror Starlets Bowling for Boobies every year!"

Other horror personalities participating this year include icons like Adrienne Barbeau and Gillian Anderson, Kat Graham of "The Vampire Diaries," Lisa Zane, Jessica Cameron, Brittany Snow, Ashley Palmer, Georgina Rylance, and "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" herself, Melissa Joan Hart.

Visit the Lancaster Opera House website and Kick Up Your Heels on Facebook for more info; and to see all of what's up for auction, stop by eBay and grab a pair of shoes to help out this worthy cause.

With Season 5 of the hit UK series "Being Human" preparing to return to BBC3, the new issue of SFX magazine has a big spread on the show, and we have some highlights right here provided by creator Toby Whithouse and Phil Davis, who portrays the series' new big bad, Captain Hatch.

The new season will be comprised of just six episodes, but the finale (written by Whithouse) promises to be a doozy. He said, "This one has cameos from two guests from last year… no, Mitchell isn’t coming back, because he’s dead. And so are George and Nina! We’re not only told what Captain Hatch’s plan is but we see it played out, in some of the biggest setpieces we’ve ever done. And the end will leave you guessing. There will be much discussion about the end…”

As for Hatch himself, “I’m one of those rare actors who comes out of make-up looking far worse than when he went in!” Davis jokes. “They blacken my teeth, paint veins on my forehead and put earwax dripping out of my ears – it’s a pretty disgusting sight. He’s described as ‘a little angry fist of a man’ to start with, but as he gets more powerful, he becomes more relaxed and urbane.”

“It’s a brilliant performance,” Whithouse enthuses, “imbued with such presence and danger, and that effortless evil that Phil does so well. I wrote it, but I’m genuinely chilled by some of the stuff he does. And he’s not afraid of making himself look ghastly. Hatch goes through a transformation as we get towards the end, but up until that point Phil was happy to make himself look utterly rancid!”

“It’s like slipping into a pair of shoes,” explains Davis. “Sometimes they fit immediately, and sometimes you have to wiggle your toes a bit. But this was pretty easy to get the hang of. It was irresistible, because it’s so well-written. He’s very clever and very funny. He kills people with a smile on his face – or persuades them to kill themselves. I want the audience to enjoy his evil and be scared of him at the same time. I want them to be laughing and then stopping dead.”

Series 5 Synopsis:
Hal, Tom, and Alex are three housemates with some serious issues on their hands. Hal (Damien Molony) is a 500-year-old vampire, Tom is a hardened werewolf (Michael Socha), and Alex (Kate Bracken) has recently had the misfortune of becoming a ghost. Strapped to a chair in the living room, Hal is finding it tough going cold-turkey – mostly because the mess Tom has made is really bothering him. But when Tom and Alex release Hal, they’re not to know it’s far too soon to be letting a bloodthirsty vampire onto the streets… When Hal recruits Crumb as a vampire and welcomes him to the supernatural world, the meek becomes mighty and we see what happens when a bullied man finds his bite. Meanwhile, Rook – head of a shady government department in charge of keeping the supernatural world secret – is given some devastating news.

Sometimes to get things right, it takes time. The act of rushing to get anything done rarely turns out okay, and no one knows this more than an experienced filmmaker like Steven Spielberg, who is in no big rush to make his way toward the Robopocalypse.

According to Deadline, Spielberg is going to push back Robopocalypse, the giant science fiction pic that he was scheduled to direct this spring for Fox and Disney through DreamWorks. The good news is hr is not dropping out of the project; he just didn’t want to rush an expensive film and wanted more time to work on it.

Based on the Daniel H. Wilson novel and with a script by Drew Goddard, Robopocalypse was to star Chris Hemsworth and Anne Hathaway and concerns a battle for survival after mankind generates its first mass intelligence computer brain only to see it escape.

Well, you can't say you didn't see this one coming, can you? Word has come that the mighty Godzilla is ready to do battle on an all-new playing field... our country's courtrooms! Read on for details.

Deadline reports that Legendary Pictures today filed suit against producers Dan Lin, Roy Lee and Doug Davison to have them removed from the Godzilla reboot. The company also wants the court to order arbitration to stop a potential temporary restraining order by the defendants against the film’s production. “This dispute…concerns Defendants’ assertion that they are entitled to substantial producing fees and backend compensation on the Film,” claims Legendary in the suit.

In court documents Legendary claims that it brought the trio on board soon after acquiring the rights to the Godzilla character from Japanese corporation Toho in March 2010. Legendary say that Lin, Lee and Davison had nothing to do with that deal and have no ownership or underlying rights to the giant monster or movies about him. In late 2012 Legendary told Lin, Lee and Davison that they would not be engaging them as producers on the Gareth Edwards-directed reboot.

That’s when things really started to go bad. Hopefully this will all get cleared up soon and everybody can get back to business.

Currently the flick has been dated for a May 16, 2014 release. Let's hope things stay that way.

Texas Chainsaw 3D is a strange animal. Everything about the flick is wonky and weird, and we guess in some way that's kind of appropriate. In any event don't get too revved up about a sequel yet, kids, as there's more to the saw. No idea what that "more to the saw" means, but it sounded cool.

Yesterday Deadline announced that Texas Chainsaw 4 was on the way, which is befuddling in and of itself as there are several sequels, one remake, and one prequel already; however Texas Chainsaw 3D was said to be a direct sequel to the original, really making it Texas Chainsaw 2 so a sequel to that would have been Texas Chainsaw 3 and not Texas Chainsaw 4, but we must remember that this new series is also home to a 40-year-old character portrayed by a 26-year-old hottie. Where was I? Oh yeah...

Today the rights holders for the film, Carl Mazzacone and executive producer Mark Burg, stepped in to say that there's been no progress on a possible sequel as of yet and that Millennium Films' Avi Lerner never should have made that announcement.

"Millennium simply sold the foreign rights, and they will not tell us when a sequel is ready to be made," says Burg. "The script was developed by Carl, myself and writer/director John Luessenhop. Millennium and about ten producers came aboard only when we needed their check. Maybe they’re looking for something to sell at Berlin, but they have no right to announce this sequel, and if we make another, it has to be as good or better than this one and that takes time."

Look for more soon, and in the meantime read our Texas Chainsaw 3D review here in case you missed it.

Texas Chainsaw 3D is directed by John Luessenhop from a screenplay by Adam Marcus, Debra Sullivan and Kirsten Elms. Dan Yeager, John Dugan, Bill Moseley, Alexandra Daddario, Sue Rock, Tania Raymonde, Scott Eastwood, Gunnar Hansen, Tobe Hooper, Paul Rae, Keram Malicki-Sánchez, Ritchie Montgomery, Trey Songz, Marilyn Burns, Shaun Sipos, Thom Barry and Richard Riehle star.

Synopsis
Texas Chainsaw 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four friends. Word around the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family – or so they thought.

Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansion’s dank cellars…

The project has been long in development at New Line and came close to taking off in an incarnation with a script by Carl Ellsworth and D.J. Caruso attached as director.
