Avalanche Sharks, Dracano, Forever 16, and Sinkhole Prepare to Take You on an Odyssey

Avalanche Sharks, Dracano, Forever 16, and Sinkhole Prepare to Take You on an OdysseyDistribution company Odyssey Media looks to be getting in on the b-movie market in a big way with four Syfy-ish flicks that showcase snow sharks, volcanic dragons, crimefighting teen vampires, and Battle Royale at the bottom of a sinkhole.

AVALANCHE SHARKS– After an horrific avalanche, the staff members at Twin Pines Ski Resort start to receive reports of missing people and creatures that move beneath the snow. As the body count piles up, the management tries to cover up the situation, which leads to disaster on their busiest day of the year: Bikini Snow Day.

This sequel to last year’s Sand Sharks was also supposed to star Brooke Hogan, but she had to back out due to a scheduling conflict. Instead Kate Nauta, Erika Jordan, and Emily Addison will have to serve as attractive snow shark bait in this frozen nature gone amok flick from Scott Wheeler, director of The Asylum’s Transmorphers: The Fall of Man and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Wheeler is keeping busy as the director of the next flick on the agenda, a rather timely disaster flick with a tween survival-of-the-fittest twist.

SINKHOLE - A disaster flick with shades of “Lord of the Flies” about a school bus carrying a high school track team that gets trapped deep inside a mysterious sinkhole.

Eric Roberts and Jeremy London get top billing; either they’re playing faculty and bus driver or else this high school has the oldest students on record. Dominka Juliet (Dragon Wasps) and Final Destination 3’s Gina Holden are amongst the actual students fighting to be king of the hole.

For those out there going through Twilight withdrawal, the next Odyssey release might placate your lust for tween blood-sucking melodrama.

FOREVER 16 - Sixteen-year-old Raven Highgate is not your average teenager; she is a vampire, and this is her umpteenth time attending a new high school to keep her identity hidden. But when a local cop reveals she knows Raven's secret and offers to introduce Raven to others of her kind in exchange for help catching a murderer loose in the school, Raven has no choice but to accept… but at what cost?

George Mendeluk (The Terrror Experiment) directs Tiera Skovbye, Tyler Johnston, Siobhan Williams, and Andrea Roth (The Collector, “Rescue Me”) in this young vampire saga.

Finally, a creature feature/disaster hybrid with the gimmicky title Dracano about dragons that emerge from erupting volcanoes and only Corin Nemec can save us. Better believe this is a future Syfy premiere.

DRACANO - A catastrophic volcanic eruption releases ancient dragon-like creatures on the surrounding areas. Scientists believe that this could start a chain reaction of volcanic eruptions giving way to a global Dragon Apocalypse, which of course happens.

Of course it happens. Kevin O’Neil (Dinocroc, Attack of the 50-Foot Cheerleader) directs Mr. Syfy Corin Nemec , Victoria Pratt (“Mutant X”, “Cleopatra 2525”), and, once again, Gina Holden.

Look for Avalanche Sharks, Dracano, Sinkhole, and Forever 16 to begin rolling out – probably premiering on Syfy - in the months to come.

Cujo Remake Bites Back

Cujo Remake Bites Back Well now. We didn't see this one coming. Apparently a remake of the film Cujo based on the Stephen King novel of the same name is going into production sometime this year. Read on for the first details and even a sales video.

From the Press Release
Lang Elliott, President & CEO of Sunn Classic Pictures, Inc., announced that Sunn plans to produce the remake of "CUJO" this year representing the 30th Anniversary since Sunn produced and distributed the original "CUJO" motion picture in 1983, based upon Stephen King's novel. The 1983 version was highly successful at the worldwide box-office and, compared with today's inflation and higher ticket prices, the box-office would be well over $225 million even without ancillary sales (i.e., DVD, cable, free television, pay-per-view, etc.).

"CUJO" is the story of a large, playful St. Bernard dog that is transformed into a hideous killing machine after being infected by rabies. Donna Trenton's car is on the fritz, and she and her son take her ailing automobile to their mechanic. Upon their arrival, the car stalls and refuses to restart. The mechanic fails to appear so Donna searches for him. The transformed, maniacal "CUJO" reveals himself; he is highly agitated and very aggressive. Donna hardly recognizes this filthy, monstrous creature foaming at the mouth. Suddenly "CUJO" charges Donna, who barely makes it back into the car for protection. Trapped with her son and the windows rolled up, the sweltering heat begins to take its toll. "CUJO's" powerful state of insanity and violence await.

First Word on Sitges 2013: Poster Debut; Takashi Miike Bringing Lesson of the Evil to the Fest

0

First Word on Sitges 2013: Poster Debut; Takashi Miike Bringing Lesson of the Evil to the FestThe countdown has begun! Exactly six months from today Sitges 2013 will raise the curtain to a Festival that will include iconic Japanese director Takashi Miike, who has confirmed he will be attending the Festival with a brand new film: Lesson of the Evil.

From the Press Release:
The disturbing sound of a lullaby from hell will invade the streets of Sitges during the 46th Sitges - International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, to be held from the 11th to the 20th of October 2013. The Festival’s poster – once again designed by the China Agency – recalls the birth of evil in an image inspired by Roman Polanski’s classic Rosemary’s Baby, which premiered the same year the Festival was born, and warning us that this year everyone wanting to come visit Sitges’ beautiful domains will have to protect themselves from the Prince of Darkness. Fascination with the fallen angel has been fundamental in universal fantastic cinema, with decisive films like Curse of the Demon (Jacques Tourneaur, 1957), Polanski’s above-mentioned masterpiece, the famous The Exorcist (William Friedkin, 1973), and one of the big hits at last year’s Festival: The Lords of Salem by Rob Zombie.

And arriving at this disturbing Sitges is one of the masters of current moviemaking and a point of reference for today’s generations of filmmakers: Takashi Miike. Ten years after his first appearance in Sitges, Miike will be returning to a Festival that adores him and that considers him one of the main points of reference in current film.

Sitges will be honoring the prolific Takashi Miike and screening, in its Official In-Competition Fantàstic Selection, Lesson of the Evil, which explains the traumas of a psychopathic teacher. On the occasion of his presence in Sitges, the Festival will be programing a retrospective-tribute to Miike and publishing a book on him.

Sitges 2013’s main goal this year will be the selection of trend-setting films in the different branches of fantastic cinema and will be especially responsive to the generation of new talent and, above all, the consolidation of genre in Catalan film. In addition, the Festival is committed to investigating new forms of film creation and production, the diversity of screens, the impact of television on genre, and well as transmedia and other applications.

Sitges will also be celebrating the more than two decades of existence of two of its most representative sections, Anima’t and Seven Chances. Regarding the first, since 1992 it has become an important presentational forum for the best worldwide animation in feature and short format, aspiring to be, at the same time, a fundamental unifying force in the expansive Catalan animation industry. As for Seven Chances, coordinated with the Catalan Association of Film Critics and Writers, it has become a point of reference for that invisible cinema that resists reaching the movie listings and that has perfectly combined, throughout its existence, the concepts of genre and auteur.

The evocation of Rosemary’s Baby and the iconography surrounding this genre movie classic is the star of Sitges 2013’s poster, created once again by the China Agency, creators of the poster since 2010 and creatively responsible for the commercial since 2002. Miguel Ángel Duo, creative director, and Rafa Antón, executive creative director, along with Biel Capllonch, are the authors of this work. The remodeled image of the classic Sitges postcard (known as “the Point”) and the referential element of the poster from Rosemary’s Baby have been wed this year to project the Festival’s image.

Miguel Ángel Duo and Rafa Anton have summed up the creative process that went into making the Sitges 2013 image as follows: “When we approached this year’s image, we couldn’t help referring again and again to the great poster of Rosemary’s Baby. The image of the stroller outlined against the sky, with Rosemary’s face superimposed, has a brutal forcefulness, extremely disturbing only for what it suggests with no need to be explicit. This is one of the great merits of the poster and, of course, of Polanski’s film.”

Duo and Anton added, “We naturally decided that the stroller would be the star of our poster. In the film Polanski suggests that the baby might have been engendered by the devil himself. And in this context, an object that can symbolize the most naive thing is also a metaphor for the arrival of Satanism and horror in Sitges. We thought that something as simple as a stroller in flames in a corner of Sitges could have the evocative force that such a unique movie requires.”

OMG HD Zombies Coming To PS Vita

OMG HD Zombies Coming To PS VitaPlayers who enjoyed OMG-Z on PSP can get excited for
the zombie takeover of OMG HD Zombies on PS Vita. The new title will have improved graphics, more levels, touch controls and of more zombie action!

From the Press Release
Laughing Jackal have today announced that their critically acclaimed chain reaction shooter OMG-Z will rise again on PlayStation Vita in an enhanced remake, OMG HD Zombies!

If that name seems familiar, it’s because OMG HD Zombies! is a wholly revamped full-blooded Vita homage to Laughing Jackal’s Minis title, OMG-Z, which first reared its badly decomposing head in 2011 and is currently ranked in the Top 10 PSP games of all time on Metacritic.

For those of you who never experienced the simple joys of zombie-horde-popping the first time around, the undead infection in OMG HD Zombies! is the result of a scientific experiment on a virulent fungus that causes its zombified victims to explode when attacked. Any infected matter ingested or inhaled by a human victim causes them to become a zombie in turn.

That’s pretty cool in itself, but the best part is that if any infected matter lands on another zombie then that zombie explodes too, causing a rapid chain reaction of gory explosions and maximizing the likelihood of nearby victims being infected. Wise to this knowledge, your Riot Cop character is able to take down whole city blocks of the undead with a single well-placed rifle round and a well chosen vantage point.

Features

  • Improved Graphics – OMG HD Zombies! has been completely redrawn in HD.
  • More levels – Not only have the existing levels been remade, but Laughing Jackal have added 19 new levels, upping to total to 100.
  • More Zombies – Laughing Jackal have added 3 new classes of zombie to the original five.
  • More Upgrades – Laughing Jackal have boosted the number of upgrades, bringing the total to 100.
  • Trophies – 12 new trophies to unlock, achieved via a mixture of game completion and fulfilling special gameplay conditions.
  • Online Leaderboards – Compare your skills to the best zombie slayers around the world with over 100 leaderboards.
  • Touch Controls – Choose between the traditional control method and the brand new touch screen control method.
  • Prestige Mode – Something extra for the completionists out there. Complete the game to 100% Platinum standard and you can Prestige the game and start over again. As a thank you for Prestiging and starting the game over, you get a multiplier to your leaderboard ranking that increases with every Prestige level. You can Prestige up to 20 times and get some truly HUGE scores!
  • New Comics – As well as 2 new endings, we reveal more of the back story to the zombie outbreak in our specially extended comic book intro.

    For more information on the game, check out the officialOMG HD Zombies! website.

    First Look at the Theatrical Poster for AftershockWhile we all wait patiently for the unveiling of the official U.S. poster art for Aftershock, director Nicolas Lopez took to his Instagram account and gave the world an early peek. Check it out!

    Aftershock (review), an earthquake thriller scripted by Cabin Fever and Hostel's Eli Roth, Nicolas Lopez, and Guillermo Amoedo, revolves around an insane asylum on an island, where the inmates escape during the quake.

    It’s the next "Eli Roth Presents" film, and it marks the English-language debut from director Nicolas Lopez. His last two films, Que Pena Tu Vida and Que Pena Tu Boda, were the highest-grossing Chilean films of 2010 and 2011. Roth most recently produced The Last Exorcism, a microbudget film that grossed $70 million worldwide.

    Roth and Lopez wrote the story together, inspired by the latter’s experience when an earthquake devastated Chile in 2010. In his first big acting role since Inglourious Basterds, Roth plays the lead. Among the other cast is Selena Gomez, who was in Chile doing a concert and came over to do a cameo. Lopez’s frequent collaborators Ariel Levy, Nicolas Martinez, and Lorenza Izzo also star along with Natasha Yarovenko, Andrea Osvart, and Miguel Asensio.

    Look for it in theatres on May 10th.

    Synopsis
    In Chile an American tourist’s vacation goes from good to great when he meets some beautiful women travelers. But when an earthquake ravages the underground nightclub they are in, a fun night quickly turns to terror.

    Stephen King Sounds Off on The Shining Prequel, The Overlook HotelYesterday the news broke that former "The Walking Dead" showrunner Glen Mazzara was in talks to bring a prequel to The Shining entitled The Overlook Hotel to life. Today Stephen King himself sounded off on the project.

    "I’m not saying I would put a stop to the project because I’m sort of a nice guy," King tells Entertainment Weekly. "When I was a kid, my mother said, ‘Stephen if you were a girl, you’d always be pregnant.’ I have a tendency to let people develop things. I’m always curious to see what will happen. But you know what? I would be just as happy if it didn’t happen."

    Sounds like he's kind of numb to the project. How couldn't he be after seeing his work bastardized time and time again. Still, we retain some hope. Look for more on this one soon. In the interim tell us what you think in our comments section!

    Synopsis:
    From the singular mind of horror maestro Rob Zombie (Halloween, The Devil's Rejects) comes a chilling plunge into a nightmare world where evil runs in the blood.

    The Lords of Salem tells the tale of Heidi (Sheri Moon Zombie), a radio station DJ living in Salem, Massachusetts, who receives a strange wooden box containing a record, a "gift from the Lords." Heidi listens, and the bizarre sounds within the grooves immediately trigger flashbacks of the town's violent past. Is Heidi going mad, or are the "Lords of Salem" returning for revenge on modern-day Salem? The Lords of Salem stars a whole host of famous faces from classic horror movies.

    B-Sides - Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd Commit Crimes by Busting Rhymes

    B-Sides – Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd Commit Crimes by Busting RhymesIf hearing Dan Aykroyd and Tom Hanks rap doesn’t blow your mind, seeing them do so as part of an elaborate song & dance music video for their 1987 spoof Dragnet might be enough to make it explode Scanners-style. This actually happened, folks.

    Just in case any of you out there thought Hollywood’s penchant for taking famous yet dated television shows and bringing them back to the big screen as dopey comedies was a recent trend, here’s a reminder that they were already doing this all the way back in 1987. Long before the likes of 21 Jump Street, Starsky & Hutch, Dukes of Hazzard, Dark Shadows, and other such recent comical big screen interpretations of small screen shows, there was Dragnet - an Eighties comedic version of television’s pioneering police drama from the Fifties.

    Dan Aykroyd's satirical take on “by the book” police detective Joe Friday perfectly nailed the vocal inflections and mannerisms of original “Dragnet” star Jack Webb. Pre-multi-Oscar-winner Tom Hanks was his brash, immature, troublemaking new partner – a performance you’d swear had to have been a great influence on Owen Wilson’s career. The goofy plot saw the uber straight-laced cop and his bumbling partner cracking a case involving a pagan cult that isn’t all that it appears to be.

    Dragnet spawned a music video, and what a music video it is. You rarely see movie soundtrack videos like this anymore or hear theme songs like “City of Crime”. If you’ve never heard “City of Crime” or witnessed with your own eyes this rare music video, just know nothing I type can adequately prepare you for the level of astonishment that awaits your senses. This is one of those songs and music videos that is beyond being graded on any kind of good or bad scale – it simply must be heard and seen to be believed. That’s just the facts, ma’am.

    Not watching this B-Sides would be a crime.

    "Defiance" introduces players and viewers to a world where humans and aliens live together on a planet ravaged by decades of war and transformed by alien terra-forming machines.

The trauma transformed him into a lone wanderer in the wilds of this new and dangerous world.

    The series stars Grant Bowler, Julie Benz, Stephanie Leonidas, Tony Curran, Jaime Murray, Fionnula Flanagan, Mia Kirshner, and Oscar nominee Graham Greene.

    Results Are in for the 11th Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror AwardsThe votes have been tallied, and what can we say but "you like us, you really like us!" As we help announce the results of the 11th Annual Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards, let us thank you, the voting public, for once again naming Dread Central as the best horror site on the web. It means the world to us. Thank you.

    The Cabin in the Woods took top film honors with "The Walking Dead" being the favorite small screen offering. You can see the full list of winners at the official Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards website.

    From the Press Release
    Today's grisly takes on zombies and terror shared honors with some of Hollywood's oldest monsters in the results of the 2013 Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards. The Cabin in the Woods, Joss Whedon's homage to 80's teen thrillers, was named Best Horror Film of 2012 while AMC's hit series "The Walking Dead" took the top television prize for the second straight year in the awards decided by fans and fantasy professionals worldwide.

    Voters also embraced Universal Studios' massive effort to digitally restore its catalog of archetypal monsters such as Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolf Man and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. The studio's Blu-ray set, Universal's Classic Monsters: The Essential Collection, was voted Best DVD Collection, and the 1931 Dracula was voted the year's Best Restoration. In addition, Universal's 1948 comedy perennial Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein was named Best DVD as voters celebrated recent Blu-ray upgrades of monster classics.

    The Rondo Awards, named after Rondo Hatton, an obscure B-movie villain of the 1940's, recognize the best in classic horror research, creativity and film preservation. This year's e-mail vote, conducted by the Classic Horror Film Board, an 18-year-old online community, drew a record of more than 3,400 votes as fans chose among 35 categories. The work of horror history researchers was also recognized as Japanese monster movie expert David Kalat was awarded a Rondo for his commentary on Criterion's twin release of Japan's 1954 Gojira and its Americanized version released two years later, Godzilla: King of the Monsters. And horror enthusiast Simon Rowson was named Monster Kid of the Year--the award program's highest honor--for his work discovering snippets of footage in Japan that had been cut from the original release of Hammer's Dracula with Christopher Lee in 1958 (retitled Horror of Dracula in the US). As a result of his efforts, a new restored version of the film has been released in Britain.

    Based on suggestions from Rondo voters, the following Monster Kid Hall of Fame inductees were named:
    J.D. Lees, editor and publisher of G-Fan, a magazine devoted to Godzilla films which recently marked its 100th issue.
    Count Gore De Vol, one of a growing number of horror hosts who celebrated his 40th year in front of the camera.
    Ted Newsom, a Los Angeles-based film researcher who pioneered monster history documentaries.
    Steven Bissette, a comic book writer and horror historian whose work ranges from Swamp Thing to European horror film scholarship.
    Jessie Lilley, a publisher and editor who has helped helm publications ranging from Scarlet Street and Mondo Cult to the reborn Famous Monsters of Filmland.
    The late Gary Dorst, a monster fan whose writing in early fanzines helped elevate standards for those who followed.

    Many of the Rondo winners will receive Rondo busts, sculpted by Kerry Gammill, at the Wonderfest convention in Louisville in May. Further information, including runners-up and all the nominees, can be found at RondoAwards.com.

    Mezco's Living Dead Dolls Universal Monsters: Dracula Coming in October

    Mezco's Living Dead Dolls Universal Monsters: Dracula Coming in OctoberOctober is never far from our thoughts, and this year we have a new Living Dead Doll to look forward to during our most hallowed month as the one and only king of the vampires, Count Dracula, joins Mezco's Living Dead Dolls line.

    Damien Glonek, one of the trio who created the Living Dead Dolls, says, "Universal Monsters are the true foundation of the horror genre. Each has become a recognized character to people of all ages from all over the world and still seem as popular today as when their movies first came out. They have started out as monsters and have become icons. When the opportunity arose to work on the Universal Monsters, I was very excited to give back to the genre that I love so much."

    From his widow's peak to the hem of his cape, every detail of Dracula has been captured. The Count wears one of the most regal outfits ever produced for a Living Dead Doll; he comes complete with full evening dress. His trademark cape, his famous medallion, his red Carnelian stone ring, and even his watch chain have been carefully recreated. Special attention has been paid to his hypnotic eyes; they seem to stare into your very soul as one eyebrow arches upwards, beckoning you to your doom.

    Living Dead Dolls Count Dracula comes complete in a collector-friendly window box featuring art from the famous film. He is available for pre-order online for just $32 and will be in stores in October 2013.
