Things Get Nasty In The Trailer For ‘Landing Lake’

The UK’s body horror Landing Lake, from writer-director Cesare Pollaci Libardi di K, is gearing up to premiere on VOD and DVD this July. Shot in Super35mm, and utilizing the lavish terrain of Trentino, Northern Italy, and the UK, this pulsating cocktail of The Thing meets Rabid in this pulse-pounding film. In the film, “a team of satellite technicians enters the woods to repair a communication station but they are forced to rescue the crew of an airplane that crashed near a lake. They quickly realize that something may be coming from the lake that is affecting their minds and the passing of time. As they lose their inhibitions their most primal desires take hold. Lured on by the unseen entity it seems that only one of the team is permitted to bond with it and so be reborn in a new physical body. A terrifying game of strategy not to survive, but rather to die with the promise of

She also discussed her role in the Golden Globe-winning series “Homeland” and Blood Puppet! Christmas ’94, a new horror comedy headed your way later this year. Horror Fuel: “Tell us about you, what made you want to get into acting?” Carly Turro: “It took me a little while to figure it out. I was originally studying biology in college and thought that I wanted to go into some kind of science as a career or research, then I thought maybe med school until I made a switch into acting. I figured out that I wasn’t going to be happy or have a long sustainable career in something like medicine. It wasn’t the right fit for me. I had to go back to the drawing board and figure out what it was I wanted to

Movie Review: Slaughterhouse Rulez Has The Makings Of New Cult Classic

I hate getting my hopes up when it comes to movies, I’m often let down. Luckily, that isn’t the case with Slaughterhouse Rulez. I’ve been excited about director Crispin Mills’ horror comedy since the moment I first saw the trailer. Finally, I watched it and I’m happy to report that it’s the best horror comedy I’ve seen in years. The twisted humor in this movie will keep you laughing until you’re splitting at the seems. And the action will keep you on the edge of your seat. When it comes to gore, by god this movie is oozing with it. Star Simon Pegg delivers a fine performance as an awkward heartbroken teacher, reminiscent of his character in the classic Shaun of the Dead. Speaking of Shaun of the Dead, Pegg’s co-star Nick Frost joins him and plays the part of a former student turned activist protesting the nearby fracking site. As always, his rough around the edges charm doesn’t disappoint.
