A Group Finds Themselves Trapped In The Trailer From Post-Apocalyptic Thriller ‘Ribbons’

BAFTA Award-winning filmmakers Gregor Barclay and Colin Bell have just released the trailer for Ribbons, their exciting post-apocalyptic horror-thriller that follows a small group of four very different characters trapped in a confined space – a windowless bunker that pushes relationships to breaking points, and minds to the brink of madness. Kim Allen (Outlaw King), Robert Jack (In Plain Sight), Kirstin McLean (Taggart) and Kirsty Strain (Outlander, Anna and the Apocalypse) star. Grant McPhee of Tartan Features, Paul Thomas of xFilm and Dave Gillies of Team Candiru produced. Ribbons tells the story of a dinner party gone awry; first through the antagonistic actions of the host, and latterly through the intervention of a nuclear bomb, which detonates in the city beyond and necessitates the end of dinner and the guests’ swift departure downstairs to the host’s panic room/fallout shelter. Our host is revealed to be what’s known as a doomsday-prepper -his subterranean bunker is equipped with everything that he and

Director Confirms ‘Maniac Cop’ Remake Still Happening

Several years ago, it was announced that a Maniac Cop remake was in the works, but there’s been no update in a long time. Recently during an interview with The Movie Crypt, John Hyams (Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning) who is set to direct the film gave an update. It will be a completely different thing tonally,” Hyams told the show. “I think that’s why I was hired. I think the reason why Nick was interested in me was because he saw what I had done with Universal Soldier, in the sense that I took it and made it my own and went completely off the reservation with it. Nick Refn loves exploitation cinema as much as the next guy, but he also is not interested in paying homage to things. He loves Maniac Cop, he loves the idea of it, he loves everything it represents, but he has no intention of making a tribute story.” We’ve spent the last

Fede Alvarez Teases New Details About His ‘Evil Dead’ Franchise

2013’s Evil Dead, long considered a remake of the 1981 classic, put a female lead character (Jane Levy) in the place of the original’s character Ash Williams played by Bruce Campbell (interview). While the character lacked Campbell’s charisma, the film was twice as bloody, pleasing gorehounds. Director Fede Alvarez recently revealed when questioned by a fan that the film was not a remake, but a sequel. It continues the first one, The coincidences on events between the first film and mine are not coincidences, but more like dark fate created by the evil book.” But that’s not all he revealed. He stated that he’s not done with the Evil Dead franchise. Earlier this year he was asked if there would be a sequel. Look, I love those movies,” Alvarez stated during a talk with Ew. “Making my Evil Dead was an amazing experience, it was my first film. So going back at some point will be a possibility. I mean,

Captain Spaulding Isn’t The Only One Clowning Around In Zombie’s ‘Three From Hell’

In Rob Zombie’s 2003 film House of 1,000 Corpses, we were introduced to the Firefly family, Baby (Sheri Moon Zombie), Otis (Bill Moseley), Tiny (Matthew McGrory), Mother (Karen Black), and Captain Spaulding (Sid Haig).

A new image from the film has surfaced revealing Spaulding won’t be the only clown this time around. Zombie shared the image via social media with the question, “Who is this fucking clown?” We may not know a lot of the details about the character Mr. Baggy Britches, which is a twist on the classic sad clown, but we do know who is playing the role; it’s acting veteran Clint Howard. Howard has starred in over 250 films, many of them being horror films such as Night Shift, Silent Night, Deadly Night 5, Ticks,
