Posted above is the official one-sheet for German filmmaker Uwe Boll’s Seed 2: The New Breed. The poster features a knife-wielding gimp menacing a young, pretty woman who is either in the throes of orgasm or has just enjoyed a refreshing lemon-lime beverage. It’s hard to tell.
The Marcel Walz-directed slasher is a sequel to 2007’s Seed, about a man named Max Seed who takes bloody revenge on those who buried him alive, leaving him for dead.
Seed 2: The New Breed stars Nick Principe (Laid to Rest) as Seed, Caroline Williams (Hatchet III), Natalie Scheetz (Madison County), Annika Strauss (Necronos), Sarah Hayden and Clatto favorite Christa Campbell (Drive Angry).
Mongrel Media has picked up U.S. distribution rights for Seabourne Pictures’ After, a debut thriller from writer and director Ryan Smith about two strangers who survive a deadly bus accident only to awaken in a deserted town stalked by a ravenous creature.
Karolina Wydra (“House”) and Steven Strait (“Magic City”) topline the film, which is said to have locked down its deal with Mongrel Media thanks to Wydra’s casting on season six of HBO’s popular vampire soap “True Blood.” Wydra will next be seen in Ecuadorian director Sebastián Cordero’s Europa Report.
Producer Kevin Tenney has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund Night of the Demons: After-Party, a sequel to Adam Gierasch’s 2009 remake of Tenney’s own 1988 horror classic Night of the Demons. The project will be greenlit if a total of $225,000 is raised by July 17.
Set on Halloween in a New Orleans’ cemetery, Night of the Demons: After-Party finds pretty, oft-nude revelers slaughtered by demons and zombies in gruesome and disturbing ways. Waxwork and Hellraiser III director Anthony Hickox is at the helm with scream queen Tiffany Shepis (pictured) starring.
An international trailer has gone online for Vin Diesel’s upcoming sci-fi actioner Riddick, the third entry in the David Twohy directed sci-fi franchise that includes 2000’s Pitch Black and 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick.

Type AB has dropped a trailer for writer and director Brian Netto’s Delivery, a found-footage thriller about a young married couple who experience unholy phenomena while having their first pregnancy documented on a reality show.
Going by the trailer, the film looks pretty damn twisted and intense. Actors Laurel Vail and Danny Barclay star as the not-so-lucky parents-to-be and looker Elizabeth Sandy (pictured) plays someone named Jenny, who we hope provides the nudity relief.
Delivery plays the Los Angeles Film Festival on June 18 and June 21.
A making-of featurette has gone online for producer Alexandre Aja (Piranha 3-D) and director Franck Khalfoun’s (P2) POV remake of of William Lustig’s controversial 1980 slasher Maniac. The clip provides interesting insight from the film’s players, a little nudity and plenty of gruesome action.
Elijah Wood stars as Frank Zito in the remake, a maniac out to scalp the pretty women he meets online to deal with the emotional torment caused by his dead hooker mother, portrayed toplessly by Playboy model America Olivo (Bitch Slap).
Co-stars include Nora Arnezeder (Safe House) as Zito’s love interest Anna, Genevieve Alexandra (Piranha 3-D), Liane Balaban (“Supernatural”), Megan Duffy (Your Name Here), Steffinnie Phrommany (Gingerdead Man 3: Saturday Night Cleaver) and milfy Jan Broberg (”Everwood”).
Universal Home Entertainment has set a Oct. 8 DVD release date for Curse of Chucky, the fifth installment in its Child’s Play franchise. The film picks up after the events of Child’s Play 3, skipping over the comedic sequels Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky in favor of a darker story.
Directed by franchise creator and writer Don Mancini, Curse of Chucky once again features Brad Dourif as the voice of Chucky and introduces his sister Fiona Dourif (”True Blood”) as Nica, a woman grieving the suicide of her mother while playing host to her domineering older sister’s family.
Things get gruesome when her niece discovers an old Chucky doll in the house. Soon a string of murders take place and Nica is convinced that the Good Guy Doll may not be so good after all. Co-stars include Danielle Bisutti(Insidious: Chapter 2), A Martinez (”Santa Barbara”) and Brennan Elliott (Double Jeopardy).
Canadian starlet Jessica Cameron plays a slutty real estate agent willing to open her legs to close a deal in director Brian Troxell’s (Intrusive Behavior) upcoming torture flick Open House. While that sounds like the premise of a feel-good movie, things get ugly when her kid grows up to become a serial killer.
The synopsis reads:
When Wardell Subotsky (Russ Forga) was 8 years old, his mother (Cameron) made ends meet by working as a real estate agent. After witnessing her countless sexual favors to get the properties sold, he grows up believing all agents are whores.
Now in his late 40’s, Wardell puts his own home on the market but is thrown into a mental tailspin as the selling agent (Mel Heflin) is a spitting image of his mother. Convinced she, too, is a whore, Wardell abducts her in an attempt to show her the error of her ways.
Wait a minute… maybe this is a feel-good movie after all!
Horror fans may recognize Cameron from Anchor Bay’s Silent Night remake and its 2011 creature-feature Camel Spiders. She will next be seen in director Toby Osborne’s gleefully twisted family-abduction thrillerVirginia Obscuraandin her own directorial debut, the gruesome slasher titled Truth or Dare.
