Hey, you got your Ghostbusters mockbuster in my Conjuring mockbuster! No, you got your Conjuring mockbuster in my Ghostbusters mockbuster! Who’s The Asylum gonna call? Ghosthunters!

The busy beavers at The Asylum have been working overtime this summer, rolling out a slew of new films designed to ride the coattails of some of the summer’s biggest blockbusters: Independents’ Day, Sinister Squad, and now Ghosthunters.

Stephen Manley, David O’Donnell, and Liz Fenning star in writer-director Pearry Teo’s fright flick that seems to be taking a less comical approach to the concept of a team of scientists working together to battle and capture ghosts.

Synopsis:
When one of their own loses his wife and daughter at the hands of a serial killer, a team of ghosthunters are determined to capture the spirits of the loved ones so they can finally rest in peace. But as the team members go deeper into the house, the ghosts become more hostile, and they discover the true secrets of the house and its murderer.

It would be easy to dismiss this as just another Asylum knock-off except the trailer for Ghosthunters actually looks rather intriguing to me. Teo has given the film a gloomier, more cinematic look than other Asylum mockbusters that come to mind, and I rather like what I’m seeing with the seemingly steampunk-infused concept of having Ghostbusters battling Blumhouse-style ghosts rather than Slimer, Stay Puft Mashmallow Man, and the other Saturday morning cartoon-ish ghosts of the controversial reboot. Maybe they should have called this one Ghostblumers instead?

I’ve even come across dueling artwork for Ghosthunters. One sells it as a straightforward horror film, and the other clearly plays up the Ghostbusters angle. Even the trailer seems to be at odds with itself, selling a movie that’s trying to be its own thing while goofy taglines appear that scream “mockbuster.”

Ghosthunters begins busting on VOD July 5th. I ain’t afraid of no mockbuster.

We’ve been holding out hope that Marcel Walz’s Blood Feast remake will live up to its splatter classic roots, and if the trailer that arrived today is any indication, it’s definitely on the right path.  Best of all is the chance to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 alum Caroline Williams back in action.

Just a word of caution… eating before watching could be a big mistake.

Along with Williams, Walz’s remake of the 1963 classic from Herschell Gordon Lewis stars Robert Rusler, Sophie Monk, and Sadie Katz. Ryan Nicholson heads up the makeup department, which obviously got quite a workout.

Synopsis:
Fuad Ramses (Rusler) and his family have moved from the United States to France, where they run an American diner. Since business is not going too well, Fuad also works night shifts in a museum of ancient Egyptian culture. During these long, lonely nights he is repeatedly drawn to a statue representing the seductive ancient goddess Ishtar (Katz). He becomes more and more allured by the goddess as she speaks to him in visions. Eventually he succumbs to her deadly charms.

After this pivotal night, Fuad begins a new life, in which murder and cannibalism become his daily bread. He starts to prepare a ritual feast to honor his new mistress, a lavish affair dripping with blood, organs, and intestines of human victims. As butchered bodies are heaped upon the Altar of Ishtar, Fuad slowly slips further into madness until he is no more than the goddess’ puppet; and she thirsts for the blood of Fuad’s wife and daughter too…

Some incredibly sad news has arrived today as multiple sources are reporting that rising star Anton Yelchin has died at the all-too-young age of 27.  Yelchin, born March 11, 1989, in what is now St. Petersburg, Russia, was the victim of a freak automobile accident.

Per TMZ, Yelchin’s friends became alarmed because he was supposed to meet them hours earlier for a rehearsal. They went to his San Fernando Valley home at around 1 AM this morning (June 19th) and found him pinned between his car and a brick mailbox, which was attached to a security gate, with the vehicle’s engine still running. The police do not suspect foul play.

“Actor Anton Yelchin was killed in a fatal traffic collision early this morning,” his publicist Jennifer Allen confirmed. “His family requests you respect their privacy at this time.”

Most recently Yelchin was announced as one of the stars of Guillermo del Toro’s “Trollhunters” animated series for Netflix and previously graced the horror genre with roles in Green Room, Burying the Ex, Only Lovers Left Alive, and the 2011 Fright Night remake. He also appeared as Kyle Reese in Terminator Salvation and portrays Chekov in the rebooted Star Trek film series.

Our deepest condolences to Yelchin’s family members and friends.  He has been taken from us far too soon but even at such a young age has left quite an impressive body of work that will live on for many years to come.  Rest in peace.

Call it a remake, call it a re-imagining, call it a reformation – any way you slice it, the act of shoving a “retread” of an otherwise valueless 90’s film down our throats leaves little to be desired… unless you’re into that kind of thing. James Franco takes the Tori Spelling vehicle Mother, May I Sleep with Danger? and retools it into a teenybopper-like, MTV-styled lesbian/vampire thriller; and before the fellas get their inner 12-year-olds worked up, let’s delve into the details a bit.

Directed by Melanie Aitkenhead, the subject matter of this particular film differs from the 1996 original – we’ve spanned from abusive teen relationship to retributive vampires… yep, ready to turn the lights out real quick. However, I stuck with it and trudged along, watching as if I didn’t have a jaded bone in my body (quite the herculean feat) and was mildly impressed at what I’d seen early on.

Our main character, Leah (George), is a theater student who’s currently reveling in her ability to snag the lead role in Macbeth away from her friend (Nick Eversman), who might not really have wanted the part as much as trying to get into Leah’s pants (you sly dog, you). Leah’s attentions have squarely been focused upon Pearl (Meade), who was revealed early on in the film to be a bloodsucker, and at the risk of sounding comparative, this one had all the makings of an atrocious adolescent drama on the Freeform/ABC Family network.

Next up on the young lovers’ agenda is to meet Leah’s mom (Spelling in an absolutely lethargic role) – and the honeymoon phase is just that when the inevitable bomb is dropped that Pearl is a nightwalker… will somebody please cue the foreboding music? The remainder of details would needlessly be inundating you with stodgy dialogue between characters and the ever-so-cliched slow-motioned Twilight-styled entrances whenever a group of vampires enter a room… aah, the abandonment of fresh ideas.

Ivan Sergei, who played the role of the domineering boyfriend in the original, is relegated to college professor in this one, offering his teachings on “vampires and sexuality” in class… no, I’m not kidding. Look, I’m not going to sit here and bash this pic like a bloody pinata until the guts spill out all over the floor, and I’m sure that this will have an audience to some extent (good thing school’s out so the kids can stay up and watch this), and aside from a VERY sordid scene that might make Mom and Dad want to shield the little one’s eyes, this entire exhibit turned to ash when the sunlight hit it.

If it’s okay with you, Mom, I’d prefer to doze by myself before lying down with this one again.

So, here we are. After years and years of broken promises and false hopes, the Warcraft movie is finally upon us. One of the most successful MMORP games of all time has finally hit the big screen. But does it finally put an end to the curse of terrible video game movies, or does it end up being a steaming pile of Kraul Guano?

Well… it’s a bit of both, to be honest. While it’s not the unforgivably awful disaster that many other publications are making it out to be, it’s certainly not without its flaws. And they’re giant troll-sized flaws.

So, to start, I have to commend them from veering away from the usual humans good/ugly creatures bad route that we see all too often. The people in this film, human or not, are individuals with personalities and motives. Nobody here is predestined to be evil simply because of the particular group that they were born into, and in a world today where bigotry still exists on a massive scale, that’s saying something.

But the rest of the film sadly isn’t so commendable. What we mostly have is an overly convoluted and byzantine plot that will probably require several viewings for even the most meticulous viewer to fully understand. And if you’re not already acquainted with Warcraft lore, then forget it. They assume right from the offset that you know your shit when it comes to the world of Azeroth, and if you don’t, then good luck keeping track of the already bungled mess of a script. Hell, they even got in some cringeworthy Star Wars prequel-style political talk for good measure. George Lucas would be proud.

So yeah, the plot wasn’t great in that sense; but surprisingly, in the middle of it all, we actually have quite an entertaining road movie in which our heroes embark on their epic quest to stop the evil green magic from destroying everything or something (don’t ask me). If the film had put more focus on these rare scenes and less on the political meeting mumbo jumbo, then we might actually have the fantasy equivalent of Guardians of the Galaxy on the hands. But enough of that entertaining nonsense, we’ve got another long-winded speech about the morality of warfare to get to. By the time we finally get to the big huge climatic battle, it’s just as awesome as you would expect, but it’s too little too late.

And as for the performances, well, meh. They did what they could, I suppose. But you can’t really do much with dialogue like: “Some see death as having some greater purpose, but when it is one of your own, it is hard to grasp anything good comes from it.”

But (to be honest, I’m not sure if this should really still be a praise-worthy point for a huge blockbuster film or just a given), it was beautiful to look at. I would sure want to live in Azeroth were it not for the endless warfare. Although (again, to be honest, and please don’t kill me for saying this) the Warcraft MMORPG isn’t really a hugely rich cinematic gaming experience on par with, say, God of War, where you wish that you could play it the big screen just to look at it; but the film hits it out of the park in this category. From the shiny floating city of Dalaran to the charging hoards of Orcs, everything here looks like it was designed for the ultimate cinematic experience.

I have a lot of respect for Duncan Jones as a filmmaker, but with Warcraft being his first huge blockbuster, he clearly wasn’t given the level of creative freedom that we’ve become accustomed to seeing in his work, and that’s a shame because somewhere in Warcraft lies a great movie trying to get out. And although it hasn’t been a huge hit in the States, the Chinese gross currently stands at $156 million, so a sequel seems like a strong possibility. Whether or not Jones will return remains to be seen, but if he does, one can only hope that Universal takes the criticisms of the first film into account and gives him the autonomy to make it in his own way.

Things have been pretty quiet on the Annabelle 2 front, but finally some casting news and plot details have surfaced. Sounds as if they’re ignoring the other film entirely. Not a bad move if you ask us…

Anyway, THR reports that Miranda Otto has boarded Annabelle 2, New Line’s sequel to its 2014 horror hit. David Sandberg is directing the spinoff to New Line’s Conjuring franchise that has stewards James Wan and Peter Safran producing.

The script by Gary Dauberman tells of a dollmaker and his wife who, 20 years after the tragic death of their little girl, welcome a nun and several girls from a shuttered orphanage into their home. Soon, however, the nun and the girls become the target of the dollmaker’s possessed creation, Annabelle.

Otto will play the dollmaker’s wife, a disfigured recluse. The movie will shoot next month in Los Angeles.

Another book-to-film adaptation appears to be headed our way as Dot Hutchison’s recently released mystery thriller The Butterfly Garden has just been optioned as a feature by Anonymous Content and PalmStar Media.

Per Deadline, Anonymous Content’s Michael Sugar will produce with PalmStar Media’s Kevin Frakes; Ashley Zalta of Anonymous and PalmStar’s Mark Fasano will be executive producers.

Sugar describes the novel as “uniquely original and transfixing with a storyline that captures and holds readers’ attention through every twist and turn.”

Below is the book’s synopsis; look for more soon!

Synopsis:
Near an isolated mansion lies a beautiful garden.

In this garden grow luscious flowers, shady trees… and a collection of precious “butterflies”—young women who have been kidnapped and intricately tattooed to resemble their namesakes. Overseeing it all is the Gardener, a brutal, twisted man obsessed with capturing and preserving his lovely specimens.

When the garden is discovered, a survivor is brought in for questioning. FBI agents Victor Hanoverian and Brandon Eddison are tasked with piecing together one of the most stomach-churning cases of their careers. But the girl, known only as Maya, proves to be a puzzle herself.

As her story twists and turns, slowly shedding light on life in the Butterfly Garden, Maya reveals old grudges, new saviors, and horrific tales of a man who’d go to any length to hold beauty captive. But the more she shares, the more the agents have to wonder what she’s still hiding…

There seems to be something of a surge in indie VHS-focused horror games recently. The latest is The Final Take, which has just been released on Steam. I swear that creepy, grainy VHS quality footage effect will never get old.

Synopsis:
Relive dark footage recorded from the perspective of multiple characters in this unique first-person horror. Each character has had an alternate experience in different locations, but they all have something in common which connects them. Take control of a young female, and relive these moments through found footage to uncover the sinister link between the strangers.

The game’s distinctive VHS effect and color scheme delivers a realistic 1980s feel as the player progresses through different characters and moments in time, with hidden clues and messages that can only be discovered by re-playing the levels. Each location has a different twist and new enemies to encounter; some are aggressive, while others lurk in the shadows waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Use light to reveal what is hidden beneath the cover of darkness, and use the camera as a guide to expose what the human eye cannot perceive.

FEATURES

• Multiple character stories (switched up gameplay)
• Xbox controller support
• Different AI behavior (each level plays differently)
• Gather collectibles to dive deeper into the story
• Hidden objects only “visible” by a few held items
• Play the story in any order you choose
• Re-wire locked doors, and lock pick to gain access to rooms

It hits DVD in the UK on August 22nd.

Synopsis:
On the run and with nowhere to hide, a group of soldiers and their two prisoners take cover from a mysterious enemy inside an abandoned military war tank.

A bunch of new images from the upcoming UK horror film K-Shop have landed in our laps, and we put them all on a stick and are ready to serve ’em to you hot and fresh. Dig it!

Dan Pringle directed the film, which stars Ziad Abaza (Spectre, Exodus: Gods & Kings), Darren Morfitt (Dog Soldiers, How I Live Now), Reece Noi (TV’s “Game of Thrones,” My Kingdom), Lucinda Rhodes (Fall of the Essex Boys, TV’s “The Detectorists”), and Ewen McIntosh (The Lobster, TV’s “The Office”).

K-Shop transfers the Sweeney Todd story to the binge-drinking milieu of Britain as a vigilant kebab shop owner battles with drunken clubbers. A debut for writer/director Pringle, the film has secured distribution through Bulldog Film Distributors and is set for UK cinema release on July 22nd.

Synopsis:
Bloody vengeance comes to the streets of a British seaside town in this darkly comic horror, which sees a young student turn vigilante on the drunken thugs who caused the death of his kebab shop-owner father – a cutting social commentary about the sordid side of British nightlife.
