Full Moon Features Will Unleash ‘Corona Zombies’ This April

It was just a matter of time before a studio capitalized on the horror of the Coronavirus. That studio is Full Moon Features who is putting a satirical spin on the pandemic with Corona Zombie. The low-budget flick is described as a “vision of a global pandemic spiraling out of control, one that causes its victims to become…Corona Zombies, the gory, outrageous cannibal corpse outbreak movie.” In Corona Zombie, “A government asleep at the wheel! The wealthy shrugging it off! A global toilet paper famine! And a virus that causes its victims to get up and kill! The people they kill…get up and kill! Lock your doors and horde your toilet paper! The CORONA ZOMBIES are coming! As the world buckles to a global pandemic, as businesses temporarily board their doors and as citizens lock themselves away in social isolation in hopes of “flattening the curve”, Full Moon answers the crisis with the sort of gonzo humor and far-out fantasy

Movie Review: The Perished

Writer/director Paddy Murphy’s The Perished is a horror film that explores the religious and social controversies in his native Ireland regarding abortion — which was illegal there until quite recently — and the stigma that it carries, but the film is easily relatable to viewers outside that country who bring their own differing viewpoints to it. It delivers as a body horror film and a monster movie with a decidedly creepy creature. Sarah (Courtney McKeon) is a young woman who accidentally gets pregnant by her boyfriend Shane (Fiach Kunz). During the same conversation when she planned to tell him about it, he dumps her before she can break the news. Not wanting a child at this point in her life, she travels alone to England to have an abortion. Her strictly religious mother Elaine (Noelle Clarke) finds out and kicks her out of the house in an uproar for bringing shame to their family as Sarah’s meek father Richard (Conor

Movie Review: Penance Lane (2020)

Crimson Matthews (Tyler Mane), is one hard-ass ex-con who is trying his beastly best to turn over a new leaf. To that end he takes on a job as a handyman of sorts working in an arcane abode down Penance Lane way. As fate, and horror tropes, would have it, ol’ cray-cray Crimson discovers that demonic dwelling is home to it’s fair share of deep, dark sinister secrets… secrets the town is none to pleased to have discovered… and they’ll do anything to make sure they remain hidden in the shadows. Has Crimson traded one prison for another as the house begins to gain a hold on our hero? Let’s kick out the fuckin’ joltin’ jams of Penance Lane with some preternatural positives, shall we? First up, the cast assembled here is absolutely first rate. We get Mane (he of Rob Zombie’s Halloween remakes, and the first X-Men flick, who also produced this freaky fracas) as our oddly named hero,
