Rob Zombie’s highly-anticipated film 31 will soon premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival in January, followed by release on DVD later in the year. Part of the prep to get the film ready for theatrical release is for it to get its rating from the Motion Pictures Association of America. Two cuts were given for ranking. It’s not that surprising that because of its content, both versions scored a NC-17 rating. This means that unless some of the more controversial scenes are edited or cut, 31 will not be able to be shown in theaters. Zombie posted this comment on Facebook about the ranking: According to the MPAA, 31 contains “sadistic graphic violence, bizarre sexuality/nudity, pervasive disturbing images and some strong language.” Of course it does, it’s a Rob Zombie film. We have come to expect those things from Zombie. 31 follows a group of five carnival workers, kidnapped just before Halloween. The group is held in a compound

We first learned that the short film Lights Out would be adapted as a full length feature, written and directed by David F. Sandberg and produced by James Wan (The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2) back in June. The film has now entered post-production and will be released by New Line in July of 2016. In the feature film, a boy and his estranged sister are stalked by an evil entity that can only be seen when the lights are out. Lights Out will star Warm Bodies actress Teresa Palmer , Emily Alyn Lind (The Haunting in Connecticut 2), Alicia Vela-Bailey (Interstellar), Amiah Miller (Trafficked), Gabriel Bateman (Annabelle), Andi Osho (Night and Day), and Alexander DiPersia (I Am Legend). There is a bit of a difference between the plot of the short film and the feature film, but with Wan producing I have no doubt it will be great. A trailer for the full film has not yet been released, but

Eden Falls will be directed by Michael Coulombe, who penned the script along with Martin Rogers and horror veteran Victor Miller, who has received 3 Emmy Awards and is the creator/writer of the horror classic Friday the 13th. I spoke with Victor Miller about Eden Falls, and this is what he had to say: “EDEN FALLS is different from any kind of horror I have ever attempted. I teamed up with Michael and Martin and we used SKYPE to invent a concept and the screenplay itself. We made a conscientious effort to go where horror has never gone before and we came up with a tour de force which includes ferocious snowboarding, a true American hero and the most frightening neurosurgeon ever to carve his
