Later this summer, fans of the blood-sucking RPG, “Vampyr” will see a new update to the game, a difficulty setting. The game’s difficulty depends on the actions players take to earn XP to raise the stats of Jonathan Reed, the game’s protagonist. Players can earn XP by fighting enemies, locating documents, talking with London citizens, and completing side missions but if you want to earn a lot of XP quickly you can “embrace” (suck the blood) of characters you meet along the way but by doing so can affect events in the game. The new difficulty will affect how players can earn XP, through combat you will earn little to none, making the temptation greater to feed on the citizens of London. Because of this new update, it would make the gameplay more about the narrative of the story. The update will be in effect on all gaming devices and in preparation for the update, “Vampyr” is 25% off on

The only thing more terrifying than the Western Front… is what lies beneath it. Witness a group of soldiers go up against an ultra-violent, infected unit of enemies in Leo Scherman‘s Trench 11, arriving on Digital and VOD this September from RLJE Films. “In the final days of WWI, a shell-shocked tunneller must lead an Allied team into a hidden German base…100 hundred feet below the trenches. The Germans have lost control of a highly contagious biological weapon that turns its victims into deranged killers. The Allies find themselves trapped underground with hordes of the infected, a rapidly spreading disease and a team of German Stormtroopers dispatched to clean up the mess.” Trench 11 stars Rossif Sutherland, award-winning actress Karine Vanasse (The Forbidden Room), Charlie Carrick (Reign), Shaun Benson (Channel Zero), and Ted Atherton (River). The film was an official selection at several film festivals including Toronto After Dark Film Festival, Screamfest Horror Film Festival, Morbido Film Fest, and Cinepocolypse,

Rondo begins with Paul (Luke Sorge), a PTSD suffering ex-combat vet and alcoholic, getting chastised by his sister cum caretaker Jill (Brenna Otts) who ends up sending him to a therapist (Gena Shaw) who unbelievably recommends that he keeps drinking, and prescribes him a rather unorthodox treatment; namely attending a very bizarre sex party with very specific rules…and an end result for each participant that isn’t quite what one would expect. Paul naturallt decides to exit stage left from the whole affair which results in a different kind of orgy…one of violence that at the film’s half way point changes the paradigm of the story completely…and not in a way you would ever guess! As you can surmise, Rondo is a film packed with twists and surprises, and while that results in an edge-of-you-seat, unpredictable thrill ride for the viewer it makes my job excruciatingly difficult because I can’t discuss the reasons why this film is so amazing without giving

Dark Cuts Pictures has acquired North American rights to Jeremy Wechter’s e-Demon, which won writer-director Wechter the Best Director Award at the New York Horror Film Festival. The film, produced by Wechter, Michael Gonzalez, PJ Starks, and Emily Pojman, tells of an escaped demon on a dark and twisted mission that manipulates a group of friends hanging out on a video-chat. The film is craftily structured – it takes place completely on a computer screen via the webcams being shown. “Kendra, AJ, Mar, and Dwayne are old college friends who find themselves growing apart. Attempting to hang on to their good old Ohio State days, the gang gets together online for a night of stories, pranks and drinking via webcam. As the evening progresses, they unknowingly release a deviously clever demon that had been trapped for centuries in Salem, Massachusetts. Since the demon can possess multiple people at once, the group of friends must determine who they can still trust

After a seemingly tacked on host segment meant to simulate a USA Up All Night Style program (perhaps added to extend the film’s run time and make it seem like any flaws in the finished product are intentional…something your’s cruelly would know nothing about), Streets of Vengeance begins in earnest, letting us know right off the bat that a psycho (who seems to be part of some anti-sex cult called The Sword) stalks the mean streets slicing and dicing sex workers with wild abandon. Enter porn starlet Mila ( Delawna McKinney) the hottest rising talent in porn who is preparing for her farewell from the industry while she is on top, which begins to set up our list of suspects; could the killer be Mila’s sleazy manager angry about losing his top star, or how about her bickering male co-stars, or could it be Garrett Sullivan (Daniel James Moody) an anti-porn advocate who partakes in a heated televised debate with
