IFC Midnight has released a trailer for The Pact 2, the eagerly anticipated sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit from writer and director Nicholas McCarthy. Written and directed by Dallas Hallam and Patrick Horvath, The Pact 2 stars Camilla Luddington (“Californication”) and returning players Haley Hudson and Caity Lotz.

Luddington plays June Abbott, an L.A. woman tormented by a string of violent dreams in which people are brutally slaughtered by the late Judas Killer. Things get worse when she learns of a copycat killer and starts to see the murders from his P.O.V. It arrives on VOD Sept. 5 and in selected theaters Oct. 10.

No matter how hardcore horror fans may be, there is always a particular violence that disturbs them to the core. For some it’s the murder of a child, for others the sacrifice of an animal. For us… it’s the death of scantly clad women, whether they be strippers, prostitutes, or globe-trotting tourists turned webcam models.

That is why we are troubled by IFC Midnight’s new trailer for Cam2Cam, a slasher from director Joel Soisson (Children of the Corn: Genesis) about an American webcam model in Bangkok trying to stay alive amidst a group of online sex entertainers harboring a demented secret.

Cam2Cam stars Tammin Sursok (“Pretty Little Liars”), Sarah Bonrepaux (ABCs of Death), Jade Tailor (Don’t Pass Me By), and Alessa Aichinger (Vamp Bikers). It arrives in selected theaters and on VOD Aug. 22.

Lily James (“Downton Abbey,” Wrath of the Titans) is set to star as Elizabeth Bennet in the long-delayed film adaptation of author Seth Grahame-Smith’s Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, an outrageous re-imagining of the Jane Austin novel Pride and Prejudice.

Slated to roll camera in September, the film follows Bennet as she wrestles with the issues of morality, manners, and the undead in 19th century London. Burr Steers (Charlie St. Cloud, Igby Goes Down) directs from a script he wrote with acclaimed writer David O. Russell (American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook).

Natalie Portman serves as a producer on the Cross Creek Pictures release. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was published in 2009 by Quirk Books. The novel garnered positives reviews and cracked the New York Times bestseller list.

A trailer has gone online for the Australian slasher Charlie’s Farm, starring Bill Moseley (Devil’s Rejects), Kane Hodder (Hatchet), and comeback queen Tara Reid (Sharknado). The film is written and directed by Chris Sun (Daddy’s Little Girl).

Dimension Films has released a red band trailer for Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s long-awaited Sin City sequel A Dame to Kill For. There’s no nudity in the clip, but it does show off its stunning female cast and their varying styles of fetish wear and lingerie. The music is kinda catchy too.

A Dame to Kill For is based on Miller’s comic of the same name, published in 1993 by Dark Horse Comics. The film stars Josh Brolin, Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Jaime King, Jamie Chung, Alexa Vega, Juno Temple, Playboy model Crystal McCahill, and Eva Green.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For arrives in theaters on Aug. 22.

Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, the epic final chapter in The Hobbit trilogy. While the first two films in the series raked in a ridiculous amount of coin, the magic doesn’t seem to be on par with The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

We blame Bilbo Baggins. The character just isn’t as likeable as Frodo… and he’s really ugly. Just saying. Thankfully, Evangeline Lilly (“LOST”) is still on board. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies arrives in theaters Dec. 17.

Warner Bros. has released the first insanely awesome trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road, the fourth installment in the George Miller directed franchise made famous by Academy Award winning actor and blow-job enthusiast Mel Gibson.

Fury Road picks up soon after the events in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, and finds Tom Hardy (Dark Knight Rises) taking the wheel as the iconic character “Mad” Max Rockatansky. Charlize Theron is female lead Furiosa. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Zoe Kravitz also costar.

The synopsis reads:

Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa.

They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.

Mad Max: Fury Road rides into theaters May 15, 2015.
