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.
We don’t see nearly enough Sabina Gadecki in our beloved horror genre so it’s exciting news to discover the model-turned-actress will co-star alongside Bill Sage (“Boardwalk Empire”) and Dolph Lundgren (Expendables) in director Trevor Ryan’s creature-feature Welcome to the Willits.
Set deep in the Northern California woods, Welcome to the Willits finds a pot farmer (Sage) and his hot wife (Gadecki) trying to fend off mysterious and deadly creatures amid a group of wayward campers. Co-stars include Rory Culkin (Scream 4), Thomas Dekker (Nightmare On Elm Street), and Anastasia Baranova (“Z Nation”).
Gadecki is coming off Jack Heller’s Dark Was the Night with Kevin Durand and is the former host of the Travel Channel’s “World Poker Tour.” “Entourage” fans will also recognize her as Eric’s girlfriend in the recent big screen adaptation of the hit HBO show.
A new trailer for A24’s upcoming frightener The VVitch has gone online and it is creepy as fuck. Set to open Feb. 19, the film follows a Church banished farmer in 1630 England as he and his family take residence near a forest believed to be haunted by an evil force.
The film marks the acclaimed feature debut of director Robert Eggers and stars newcomer Anya Taylor Joy (“Atlantis”) as the farmer’s daughter suspected and accused of practicing witchcraft.
IFC Midnight has released a trailer for producer Eli Roth’s remake of his gory 2002 classic Cabin Fever. Travis Zariwny helms the film from Cabin Fever writer Randy Pearlstein’s original script. While the plot remains the same, producers stress the kills are new and “ingenious.”
Cabin Fever follows a group of friends as they fall victim to a disgusting flesh-eating virus while vacationing in an isolated cabin in the woods. “Teen Wolf” star Gage Golightly toplines the film and co-stars with Louise Linton (The Echo), Dustin Ingram (Paranormal Activity 3) and Nadine Crocker (Deadgirl).
Trailer looks every bit as fun as the original Cabin Fever and touches on its most memorably gruesome moments, making us curious to see how more outrageous the new stuff will be. As a direct-to-video franchises, it’s one of the best – Patient Zero especially exceptional – so we’re feeling good about this.
Cabin Fever strikes Feb. 12 in limited theatrical release and VOD.
Amber Heard is in talks with Warner Bros. to star with Jason Momoa in James Wan’s Aquaman. Heard is being considered for the role of Mera, Aquaman’s love interest and the queen of Atlantis. If cast, Heard will make her debut as Mera in Zac Snyder’s Justice League, the first in the studio’s DC Universe movies.
Mera made her debut in DC Comics in 1963 and, in addition to serving up some juicy red snapper to Aquaman, has the abilities to control and solidify water. No word on if Heard’s costume includes a seashell bikini top.
Amy Smart returns to the genre that loves her in Adam Mason’s (Pig) new home invasion frightener The Hangman. Jeremy Sisto (Suburgatory) and Kate Ashfield (Byzantium) star as a married couple with kids who return from holiday to find their home has been broken into.
What the family doesn’t know is the intruder remains inside. The film is shot from the killer’s perspective and releases on DVD and Blu-ray Feb. 9. Smart only plays a small role in the film, but commands the screen because she’s…, well, Amy Smart.
