From Award-winning filmmaker Brian Skiba (Slaughter Creek, Running Away, Blood Moon Rising) comes the Easter-themed nightmare Rottentail hopping into Los Angeles theaters this April. The horror comedy inspired by the comic book from the twisted minds of David C. Hayes, Kevin Moyers, Kurt Belcher, and Henrik Horvath stars Corin Nemec (Stargate SG-1, Supernatural), William McNamara (Copycat, Stealing Home), Dominique Swain (Lolita, Face/Off), Laurie Love (.357, Beverly Hills Christmas) and Byron Browne (Who Else To Blame?, Periphery). “Rottentail tells the bizarre tale of young Peter Cotton, who grew up in the town of Easter Falls and loves rabbits. Peter’s Science project on rabbit breeding is ruined when the school bullies beat up and actually kill his rabbit.

“The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell” Won’t Have A Second Season

Last year we were introduced to Christine McConnell, a constantly snarky Frankenstein raccoon, a mummified cat, and a werewolf in the enchanting cooking series “The Curious Creations of Christine McConnell.” McConnell, a charming cross between Martha Stewart and Morticia Gomez, gave us lessons on dark themed treats and decor. I’ll be honest, I thought the show was fantastic. Unfortunately, Netflix doesn’t feel the same way. The streaming service will not be renewing the series. McConnell took to Twitter to deliver a message to fans. I‘m very sad to say, I’ve been told there won’t be another season of The Curious Creations. Thank you to everyone who watched and has supported the series. Thank you to Henson, Wilshire, Netflix, and the amazing people who made the show with me. I’m so grateful.” Season one of the series is now streaming on Netflix.

Zac Efron Turns On The Charm In The ‘Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile’ Trailer

Zac Efron turns up the charm and the creepiness in the new trailer for the Ted Bundy film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile from director Joe Berlinger and writer Michael Werwie. Ted Bundy was known for his charm and ease with women which he used to murder at least 30 women between 1974 and 1978. Efron does a fantastic job of coping that charm in the trailer for the film. It’s pretty fitting that Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile is headed to Netflix seeing that Berlinger’s Bundy documentary Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes is already available on the streaming giant. Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile tells Bundy’s story through the point of view of his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer (Lily Collins) who was oblivious to the killings that Bundy was committing during their several years that they were together. John Malkovich, Jim Parsons, Haley Joel Osment, James Hetfield, Grace Victoria Cox, Jeffrey Donovan, Kaya

The First ’47 Meters Down: Uncaged’ Poster Pays Homage To ‘Jaws’

The poster for Steven Spielberg’s Jaws has inspired artwork over and over again when it comes to shark movies and the first art for 47 Meters Down: Uncaged is no different. Spotted at this week’s CinemaCon (according to Bloody-Disgusting), there is no doubt the poster gives a nod to the classic but it does have its own twist. The poster, which was featured on elevator doors, also revealed that the film will open in theaters this August. Brec Bassinger stars alongside John Corbett (“Sex in the City”), Nia Long (“Empire”), Sophie Nelisse (The Book Thief), Corinne Foxx, Davi Santos (Polaroid), Sistine Stallone, Brianne Tju (“Scream”, and Khylin Rhambo (“Teen Wolf”) in the sequel.
