Indican Pictures has released a trailer for its upcoming shoe-string budgeted slasher Deadly Famous, releasing on DVD March 1. The film stars Daniel O’Meara (John Carter) as a former child actor turned acting coach and cannibalistic killer in hunt of aspiring Hollywood starlets.
Porn star Dahlia Sky (From My Asshole with Love) plays the heartbreaking role of a hot girl murdered too soon in a bathtub. Co-stars include Jackie Moore (Pernicious), Ria Huang (Nude Nuns with Big Guns), and – of course – Eric Roberts. Jim Lane and Eric Troop direct.
AMC has released a teaser trailer for season two of its “Walking Dead” prequel series “Fear the Walking Dead,” premiering April 10. The show ended its first season with its Brady Bunch gang reaching the shore and eyeballing ally Victor Strand’s yacht as safe harbor.
The trailer gives us a peek at a zombie apocalypse as it heads to sea and it appears to be anything but enchanting. But here’s hoping there’s enough down time on that boat for Madison (Kim Dickens) and Alicia Clark (Alycia Debnam-Carey) to get in some mother/daughter bikini lounging in.
If you were naughty last Christmas, you probably skipped out on all that It’s a Wonderful Life crap and caught yourself a screening of Trick’r Treat writer and director Michael Dougherty’s new holiday frightener Krampus, starring Adam Scott (Piranha), Toni Collette (Sixth Sense), David Koechner (Anchorman), and Allison Tolman (The Gift).
Now, Krampus is coming to Digital HD on April 12 and Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, and On Demand on April 26… and judging from the details Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has released about the home editions, Christmas comes early this year.

Blu-ray Exclusive Special Features:
“Krampus and His Minions” – In this exclusive feature see how Krampus and his twisted underlings gave the visual-effects superstars at Peter Jackson’s New Zealand-based Weta Workshop some creative and technical challenges. Viewers will have an insider look at how Krampus and his evil minions were created and executed. “Practical Danger” – Stunt Coordinator Rodney Cook walks viewers through how the film’s thrilling stunts were done live on set while facing challenges with the creatures, children and set design. “Inside the Snowglobe: Production Design” – Filming almost entirely on sound stages in the middle of summer in New Zealand, the art department and special effects team had to pull out all of their tricks to create sets that were realistic, ready for stunts and practical effects, all while creating the look of a winter wonderland. “Behind the Scenes at Weta Workshop: Krampus” – Go behind-the-scenes at the world famous Weta Workshop to see how they brought the amazing Krampus creatures to life. “Dougherty’s Vision” – In this featurette Director Michael Dougherty, along with the film’s cast and crew, reveal how his approach informed the tone, pacing, humor and performances of Krampus.

Kelly Overton (“True Blood”) is toplining Syfy’s new original “Van Helsing” series as vampire killer Vanessa Helsing. The show will run for 13 episodes and is produced by Nomadic Pictures with writer and director Neil LaBute (Your Friends & Neighbors) as showrunner.
“Van Helsing” finds our new vampire hunter, a descendant of the Van Helsing linage, resurrected as humanity’s salvation in a future where bloodsuckers rule the world. Cameras are now rolling on the show for a fall debut.
Overton is familiar to horror fans for her roles in The Ring Two, the video game adaptation Tekken, her co-directorial effort The Collective, and HBO’s vampire soap “True Blood,” in which she played raging werewolf Rikki Naylor.
The Boogeyman (1980) director Ulli Lommel returns to helm Boogeyman: Reincarnation, the fourth entry in the supernatural franchise. The sequel serves as a origins story, spanning “generations, lands and time itself to present a riveting and haunting experience.”
Toplining Boogeyman: Reincarnation is pretty newcomer Skylar Radzion (pictured) – not sure what her age is so perv out responsibly. She’s joined by American Mary babe Tristan Risk and Human Centipede 2 & 3 creep Laurence Harvey.
Jaimie Alexander, star of NBC’s “Blindspot” and Marvel Studios’ Thor, toplines the erotic thriller Broken Vows from newbie director Bram Coppens. The gorgeous stunner plays a bride-to-be who has a one night fling with a troubled barkeep during her bachelorette party in New Orleans.
What happens in the Big Easy proves to be difficult to leave behind when her not-so-one-night-stand, played by Wes Bentley (Hunger Games) and Wes Bentley’s eyebrows, follows her home on a mission to destroy her marriage and win her heart with his homicidal charms.
Alexander first caught the eye of horror fans in the 2006 slasher Rest Stop, in which she regrettably used a body double for nude scenes. Considering she’s never stripped on screen and her career continues to blossom, don’t expect any nude-acting from Alexander in the film 🙁
Universal Pictures has released a first trailer for the third chapter in Blumhouse’s politically charged horror franchise, The Purge. Titled Election Year, the sequel stars Elizabeth Mitchell (“LOST”) as a U.S. senator marked for death for her efforts to bring an end to the Founding Father’s annual purge night.
The Purge is a government sanctioned 12-hour night during which all criminal activity is permissible by law, including murder, rape, and more murder. Mitchell’s senator puts a target on her back when she exposes that the purge is aimed at minorities and the poor.
Purge: Election Year picks up two years after the events of Purge: Anarchy and finds Frank Grillo’s Leo Barnes character back in action and attempting to protect the senator on purge night amid the evening’s hooligans and murderers. Series writer and director James DeMonaco is once again at the helm.
There are many things indie thriller Everlasting has going for it: a possibly generous amount of pretty girl boobs, genre bad boy Robert LaSardo (Anarchy Parlor) in a menacing role, and quirky sex-pot Bai Ling (Crank: High Voltage) as a Hollywood degenerate.
Written and directed by Anthony Stabley, Everlasting follows a high school filmmaker as he navigates through Los Angeles, looking to confront the man who murdered his girlfriend. The film also stars stunners Valentina De Angelis (“Gossip Girl”) and Elisabeth Rohm (“Law & Order”).
Twentieth Century Fox is finally starting to give us some exciting peeks at Olivia Munn in Marvel’s upcoming superhero blockbuster X-Men: Apocalypse. Munn play Psylocke, a mutant assassin with awesome boobs and telekinetic powers, including the ability to generate a psychic blade.
What’s most exciting about the character is her revealing costume, which appears to be as sexy and revealing as the comic’s – something refreshing in today’s age of drab female costumes designed to cover-up femininity… yes, we mean bazooms.
Munn said:
I know that Psylocke is dressed very sexually. Out of all the costumes, it’s really revealing, but it’s important to know that she always had substantive plotlines… Just because she’s dressed like that, she’s not this promiscuous, slutty girl that’s—in fact, Apocalypse is the one who dressed her and gave her that outfit.
When this lowly blogger was a prepubescent worm he was taken to a crappy movie house to watch Spanish filmmaker Juan Piquer Simón’s gruesome 1982 slasher Pieces. What he saw on screen was a boy near his own age chopping up his hot mom up with an axe and then dismembering her body with a hacksaw.
The boy had been caught by his mother working on a picture puzzle of a nude woman and had no choice but to slaughter the uptight shrew when she tried to rid him of it. It’s a tragic event that haunts the boy into adulthood and drives him to chainsaw college coeds in Boston, using their severed limbs and parts to create a likeness of his mother.
I went into that theater a boy. I came out a man. A very sick man. It has taken years to erase those images from my mind to become a well adjusted member of the human race. But, now, exploitation and restoration authority Grindhouse Releasing is threatening my mental stability with the official Blu-ray release of Pieces, presented in 4K transfer scanned from the original camera negative!
The 3-disc Pieces Blu-ray includes the original, unrated U.S. theatrical version and the original, Spanish-language uncensored director’s cut, Mil Gritos Tiene La Noche, with English subtitles. In addition to the films, the set comes with a bonus CD of the original soundtrack, remastered from the original studio tapes.
A new feature-length documentary, 42nd Street Memories, and new audio commentary from star Jack Taylor and a shitload of numerous other deranged treats are included as well. For complete details and for theatrical screening information on Pieces, visit Grindhouse Releasing online. Pre-order at Amazon and Diabolik.
