‘TSUNAMBEE’ Buzzes In From Beyond The Grave

So you’ve seen killer bee movies, and you’ve seen zombie movies, but have you ever seen a killer bee zombie movie? I didn’t think so, but that’s the crazy genre blending TSUNAMBEE is going to get you. Starring a diverse cast of gangbangers and hillbillies, not to mention roving hordes of undead insects, anyone looking to get a trashy fix of murderous bug action could do a lot worse. The film isn’t perfect, and at times the films low budget shines through (there are a lot of scenes featuring folks standing around and chatting, not so many of the killer bees themselves) but it has a zany sense of energy that more polished affairs are often missing. TSUNAMBEE is currently available on VOD and Horrorfuel will be featuring an interview with the director next week. So go ahead and get your buzz on, and give TSUNAMBEE a watch.

This is a monster movie in the sense of a classic morality tale,” Smith stated.”No one wants to see you spill the blood of innocents, but when someone crosses the line and goes bad, you get to make them pay in horrible ways, and the audience cheers.

The Crooked Man Is Coming – Film Greenlit By New Line Cinema

“There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile. He found a crooked sixpence upon a crooked stile. He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, And they all lived together in a little crooked house.” As a kid you may have heard the nursery rhyme about the Crooked Man. The rhyme was made frightening in The Conjuring 2 when the entity came to life. The fact that the Crooked Man was NOT CG is even more incredible (you can find out more here). Javier Botet’s portrayal of the long-limbed entity, with a grin made of pointed teeth, was absolutely terrifying. Back in May we reported that the latest spin-off of The Conjuring franchise, based on the Crooked Man, was in the works. Now, we can tell that the film has officially gotten the go-ahead for production to begin, THR says. New Line Cinema has tapped Mike Van Waes to pen the screenplay, based on James
