There is a new horror movie searching for crowdfunding via Kickstarter. This horror movie aims to take on the slasher sub-genre. Writer/director Dan Smith set out to make a movie with strong characters, who are not your average victims, they fight back.

The Human Butcher Shop Of London

Imagine taking a stroll down a street in London, when you come across a butcher shop, with human limbs and body parts hanging on hooks and wrapped in packages. It sounds like something out of a horror movie, but that’s exactly what you will see in a butcher shop that will soon open in the Smithfield Market district in London . Before you get outraged, you should know, not everything is what it appears to be. The incredibly detailed body parts are actually sculpted pork, chicken and beef. The shop is a replica of the ‘Wesker an Son’ butcher shop from the ‘Resident Evil’ video game. Capcom refers to the shop as a “pop up human butchery and morgue”. The shop is open to public, but don’t worry, they won’t charge you an arm and a leg. The shop is not just a publicity stunt. All of the proceeds from sales goes to The Limbless Association, an organization that helps

A Review Of 2014’s Horror Movie ‘Creep’

Actor Mark Duplass (The League) and Patrick Brice, who directed ‘Wolf Creek’, wrote and starred in the 2014 horror thriller ‘Creep’. ‘Creep’ was also directed by Brice. In ‘Creep’ Aaron (Brice) is hired by Josef (Duplass) to make a video diary after answering a Craig’s List Ad. Josef has brain cancer and wants to make the video for his unborn son. We find out later in the movie that there is no son and no cancer. Josef is just a weird, mentally unstable man. As Aaron tries to leave Josef tries to delay him every way he can think of. Finally Aaron is able to flee, but soon begins to receive strange gifts and DVDs from Josef, but things just continue to get creepier. At the end of the movie we learn the truth about Josef and that Aaron is not his only victim. There was a lot of hype about ‘Creep’ prior to it’s release, but honestly I was

New ‘Alien’ Concept Art Revealed

Director Neil Blomkamp (District 9) has revealed two more pieces of concept artwork from the ‘Alien’ film he is now working on. The latest artwork shows Ripley talking to a soldier with Hicks standing at her side. You can clearly see in the second one that one side of Hick’s face has been heavily scared, due to the acid from an alien attack at the end of ‘Aliens’. Blomkamp made this statement along with the picture “#alien is going very well. Love this project.” The first piece of artwork revealed showed Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) in an alien like helmet. The new film is set to take place after the events of ‘Alien’ and ‘Aliens’, as if the other sequels were never made.

Marvel Announces A New Blade Comic Series With Female Lead

Marvel Comics has just announced that there will be a new series featuring a day-walking, vampire-hunting, badass coming this fall. Blade, who was born Eric Brooks, won’t be the titular character this time out though. This time around it will be his 16 year old daughter, Fallon Grey, who will be kicking undead ass and taking names. She will also probably be taking notes seeing as she is still in High School. Fans of the Blade franchise shouldn’t be worried though, as he will still be there to mentor her as a father and train her as a monster hunter. (No word on who the mother is yet) While the comic franchise is getting a reboot, there have also been rumors of the possibility of a new Blade film, which we reported on here. Blade #1 is set to debut this October. In the meantime, stay tuned for further updates on both the comic and the film.
