Ahead of its exclusive release of Shudder later this month, Downrange has released a new blood-soaked trailer. From acclaimed director Ryuhei Kitamura, the man behind films such as The Midnight Meat Train, Versus, and Godzilla: Final Wars, comes a film filled with terror, brutality, and a fight for survival.

When Marion (Glenda Morgan Brown) has one “senior moment” too many, her son saddles her with a smoke show of a caregiver named Rebecca (Rachel Alig). This puts a bunch in Marion’s Depends, but she soon gets over it and her and Rebecca hit it off…and before long ol’ Becky has convinced our old ass friend to turn a room in her home into a sort of AirBnB for weary travelers. This would be all well and good, except Rachel is a Grade-A murder machine that offs any guest that displays sassitude…and she’s so damn good at it Marion doesn’t have a clue…though from what we learn from her son Marion would be apt to answer a banana and eat a phone. Things get more complicated when a married couple take up residence in the room…and by “complicated” I mean Rebecca convinces the husband, Ted (writer/director Les Mahoney) to kill his wife and become her partner in crime. Of course

Today, I watched The Executioners, and I can’t seem to get it out of my head. It begins with a group of female friends heading to a lakeside home for a girls’ weekend. As night falls the women are disturbed by someone knocking on the door. Three men with painted faces rush in and a night of terror begins. Viewers are forced to watch not one, but three rapes and two sexual assaults, as well as the torture of both women and men in this movie. I fully understand that the writer-director Giorgio Serafini (Game of Death) wanted viewers to sympathize with the women as they turned the tables, but damn. In my opinion, it went too far. One in three women are sexually assaulted in their lifetime. That statistic is scary enough as it is, why anyone would want to use multiple graphic rapes as a plot point is beyond me. We are not talking about an act that

Two amazingly perfect social media fitness-centric “celebrities” head out into the deep woods for a lil’ R&R (which they plan to record every minute of…which is a needed conceit seeing as how this is a found footage fright flick and all). But there is more to this yarn, as two online documentary film makers who want to prove how easy it is to track someone on social media and find them no matter where they are, follow our couple into those aforementioned woods…but just what do they plan on doing to them once they are found? While on the surface Followers may not appear to be the most original horror picture you could ever see (especially blending found footage and stalk n’ slay elements), but it has some clever use of social media elements (including a Facetime cold open murder to start things off), and Actors Amanda Delaney and Justin Maina as our comely protagonists do a really solid job

Natalie Burn, who has appeared in films such as The Expendables III, Awaken, and The Lagoon, took the time out of her busy schedule to talk with me about her role in the film The Executioners (review). The Executioners follows four female friends who go on a retreat to a secluded lakeside cabin. Soon the women realize that they are not alone. When masked intruders invade the cabin the women are thrown into a fight for survival. I’ll be honest, I found The Executioners very hard to watch due to the violence depicted towards the female cast (multiple rapes), so when I was given the chance to ask Natalie about the film I took it. I wanted to know what she went through as an actress during filming. Horror Fuel: “One of your most recent film roles was in ‘The Executioners’, what initially drew you to the script?” Natalie Burn: “I was lucky enough to be one of the first
