A New Updated Version Of ‘Blood Feast’ Is In The Works

Back in April we reported that a remake of Herschell Gordon Lewis’ 1963 ‘Blood Feast’was in the works. We now have new information about the remake. German director Marcel Walz (Plastic) will be stepping into Lewis’ shoes as director of the new movie. Robert Rusler will be playing the lead role of Fuad Ramses, a family man who works nights at a museum of ancient Egyptian culture. Ramses is drawn to an ancient statue representing the goddess Ishtar. She begins the speak to him in visions. Eventually he gives in and his life becomes filled with murder and cannibalism. He starts to prepare a feast for the goddess, with offerings of organs and intestines of human sacrifices drenched in blood. Fuad slips further into madness and becomes a puppet of Ishtar, who desires the sacrifice of Fuad’s wife and daughter. Lewis, nicknamed the “Godfather of Gore”, delivered one of the most gore filled movies on record with ‘Blood Feast’. Even

Review: Dark Horse Comics’ “The Strain: The Night Eternal # 11”

This is the penultimate issue of The Strain: The Night Eternal series of comics and it is just as exhilarating to read as the show on FX is to watch. The tagline of the comic reads: “FUEL UP FOR THE FINALE-LAST STOP FOR GAS BEFORE THE END OF THE WORLD!” I found that to be very appropriate because the reader is taken for a joyride, with the pedal to the metal from page one. The issue starts off with a bang both literally and figuratively as we find the group of survivors being hounded by a horde of ravenous vampires. While fleeing from this onslaught of bloodsuckers they get split up into two teams. On the way back to the rendezvous point Gus and Nora spot a helicopter and decide to track it. What, or rather who, they discover there will change everything. Vasiliy, Quinlan, and Ephraim reach the meeting place and there they encounter an older couple who tell

The Human Butcher Shop Of London

Imagine taking a stroll down a street in London, when you come across a butcher shop, with human limbs and body parts hanging on hooks and wrapped in packages. It sounds like something out of a horror movie, but that’s exactly what you will see in a butcher shop that will soon open in the Smithfield Market district in London . Before you get outraged, you should know, not everything is what it appears to be. The incredibly detailed body parts are actually sculpted pork, chicken and beef. The shop is a replica of the ‘Wesker an Son’ butcher shop from the ‘Resident Evil’ video game. Capcom refers to the shop as a “pop up human butchery and morgue”. The shop is open to public, but don’t worry, they won’t charge you an arm and a leg. The shop is not just a publicity stunt. All of the proceeds from sales goes to The Limbless Association, an organization that helps

Review: Dark Horse Comics’ “Harrow County # 3”

You know that old saying that the third time is the charm? Well, whoever said it was dead on. Issue # 3 of Harrow County is better than the first two installments, and that is saying a lot. Just when I thought that there is nothing that Cullen Bunn and Tyler Crook could do better, they prove me wrong. This issue took the best parts of the first two and melded them into the magnum opus that is Issue #3. This issue begins with Emmy and Bernice surrounded by ghosts who have awakened from their eternal repose. They get closer and closer until Emmy screams at them to stop. They obey her and she is bewildered by it. She screams at them again in frustration because she believes that they were trying to scare her. They shiver in fear and this frightens Emmy. Emmy and Bernice quickly make their way past the gravestones leaving these “haints” behind. It is not

A Review Of 2014’s Horror Movie ‘Creep’

Actor Mark Duplass (The League) and Patrick Brice, who directed ‘Wolf Creek’, wrote and starred in the 2014 horror thriller ‘Creep’. ‘Creep’ was also directed by Brice. In ‘Creep’ Aaron (Brice) is hired by Josef (Duplass) to make a video diary after answering a Craig’s List Ad. Josef has brain cancer and wants to make the video for his unborn son. We find out later in the movie that there is no son and no cancer. Josef is just a weird, mentally unstable man. As Aaron tries to leave Josef tries to delay him every way he can think of. Finally Aaron is able to flee, but soon begins to receive strange gifts and DVDs from Josef, but things just continue to get creepier. At the end of the movie we learn the truth about Josef and that Aaron is not his only victim. There was a lot of hype about ‘Creep’ prior to it’s release, but honestly I was

Video Game Review: Telltale’s The Walking Dead

With Comic-Con wrapping up and AMC’s “The Walking Dead” 6th season revealed I decided to take a look back at Telltale’s game adaptation of “The Walking Dead”. This game was released back in 2012 and won Spike’s Video Game of the Year award for which it got a lot of backlash for mainly because it came out of no where and was competing against a lot of other and better games I.E Darksiders 2 and Dishonored. I personally was upset that this won because from a gameplay stand point and I would go on to be-grudge this game until I eventually picked it up and now playing through it for a second time I can now understand why this would win Game of the Year. As you can see graphically wise, it ditches the ultra-realism that most games aim for and instead uses cel-shading. I personally enjoy cell-shaded games, some of my favorite games of all time are cell-shaded but

New ‘Alien’ Concept Art Revealed

Director Neil Blomkamp (District 9) has revealed two more pieces of concept artwork from the ‘Alien’ film he is now working on. The latest artwork shows Ripley talking to a soldier with Hicks standing at her side. You can clearly see in the second one that one side of Hick’s face has been heavily scared, due to the acid from an alien attack at the end of ‘Aliens’. Blomkamp made this statement along with the picture “#alien is going very well. Love this project.” The first piece of artwork revealed showed Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in an alien like helmet. The new film is set to take place after the events of ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens’, as if the other sequels were never made.
