Snoot Entertainment got cameras rolling in Missouri today on director Adam Wingard’s eagerly somewhat anticipated followup to A Horrible Way to Die. Entitled You’re Next, the home-invasion frightener reunites Wingard with writer Simon Barrett and stars Aussie newcomer Sharni Vinson (pictured above) in her most terrifying role since Step Up 3-D.

You’re Next follows the Davison family as they’re attacked in their vacation home by a group of sadistic murderers armed with an array of shit-that’s-gonna-hurt-tools. The family’s only hope lies in their eldest son’s super-hot girlfriend (Vinson) whose mysterious past has made her hard to kill like Steven Seagal.

Costars include Wendy Glenn (11-11-11), Amy Seimetz (Bitter Feast), Nick Tucci (Undocumented), AJ Bowen (The Signal), Joe Swanberg (Horrible Way to Die), indie horror directors Ti West (The Innkeepers) and Calvin Reeder (The Oregonian), and old-school scream queen Barbara Crampton.

I was a tween with, maybe, three hairs on my nut-sac when I first saw Crampton getting oral from a decapitated head in 1985’s Re-Animator. A year later, I saw her decked out in bondage gear riding Jeffrey Combs in From Beyond. I’m not sure where I’m going with this … I like to be whipped and love amputee porn.

Gina Holden Paid Her Rent, Stars in ‘Sand Sharks’

Shooting has wrapped on American World Pictures and Remember Dreaming Productions’ ridiculous new creature-feature Sand Sharks. Director Mark Atkins describes the film as a “Tremors-esqe Jaws homage” and promises “the fish will be out of the water and in the air as they seek and destroy.”

The official synopsis reads:

Prehistoric sand-dwelling sharks are unleashed on the island of White Sands when an underwater earthquake cracks open a crater deep beneath the ocean surface. The most menacing beasts to ever rule the waters, now rule the sand; with their monster appetites they mercilessly munch on anything that crosses their path.

While the Syfy Channel-like plot doesn’t quite get my motorboat running, knowing genre babe Gina Holden is involved has got me hook, line, and sinker. Holden, who starred in last year’s Saw 3-D, holds a long list of horror/sci-fi creds including Aliens vs. Predators: Requiem, Final Destination 3 and NBC’s “Harper’s Island.”

Sand Sharks costars “7th Heaven” hottie Julie Berman, Briana Evigan’s sister (there are two!) Vanessa Lee Evigan, Hulk Hogan’s ruggedly handsome daughter Brooke Hogan, Eric Scott Woods (Jonah Hex), and Corin Nemec (“Stargate: SG-1”).
