Sink Your Fangs Into The Trailer For Horror Comedy ‘Hawk And Rev: Vampire Slayers’

Ahead of its World Premiere at the Dances with Films Festival in L.A. later this month, we’ve got the trailer for Ryan Barton Grimley’s horror-comedy Hawk And Rev: Vampire Slayers which teases a frighteningly funny, blood-soaked flick. Grimley, Ari Schneider, Jana Savage, and Richard Gayler star in the indie film that follows Philip “HAWK” Hawkins who doesn’t just dream about killing vampires…he eats, sleeps, drinks, and freakin’ breaths it. After getting kicked out of the Army for staking a fellow soldier with a blunt two by four, Hawk almost dies of boredom working as a night security guard at a deserted warehouse in his hometown of Santa Muerte, California. Just when it looks like all Hawk’s options in life have expired, filthy blood-sucking vampires appear and of course, no one freakin’ believes him! With his back up against the wall, his sweaty Karate Kid headband tied on tight, real tight, and hordes of blood-thirsty vampires closing in, Hawk enlists the

FilmQuest, a film festival that celebrates the majesty of genre filmmaking in the realms of fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and beyond, backs up its stellar reputation with an amazing lineup of official 2020 selections.

Blu-ray Review: The Complete Lenzi/Baker Giallo Collection (1969 – 1972)

As you may infer from the name of this collection, Italian horror maestro Umberto Lenzi and Pennsylvania-born actress Caroll Baker worked on a film or four together… and my fabulous freaky fiends at Severin have boxed ’em up with plenty of extras and sent them out the diabolical door! Let’s kick off our look at The Complete Lenzi/Baker Giallo Collection with 1969’s Orgasmo! High-maintenance and horny widow, Kathryn West(Baker), heads down Italy-way to shack up in her rich late old geezer’s posh-ass Villa. And there she stays, painting, lounging, being annoyed by her perpetually bitchy maid Theresa (a fantastic Lilla Brignone) and generally being bored off her tits. All that changes when equally horny, sports car enthusiast Peter Donovan (Lou Castel) breaks down right in front of our heroine’s front gate; an event that leads to some soggy sexcapades in a steamin’ hot shower (the water of which, must be noted, is drank by Donovan before he starts a-drillin’… “just

Sink Your Teeth Into The New Clip From ‘Deep Blue Sea 3’

This July dive into Deep Blue Sea 3, from director John Pogue and writer Dirk Blackman. New discoveries and predators emerge in the middle of the ocean in the highly anticipated feature film, from Warner Bros Home Entertainment (WBHE). Ahead of the release, we’ve got a brand new clip for you to sink your teeth into. Titled I Need Your Help, the clip reunites old friends for a dangerous mission. Emma Collins, an eminent marine biologist, and her crew have set up a mid-ocean laboratory over a sunken island town in the ocean where they are observing the first known Great White mating area. Unfortunately, the enhanced Bull Sharks that escaped in Deep Blue Sea 2 are also there with their own evolutionary goal: cross-breeding with the bigger faster Great Whites. The mission’s patron, Richard Lowell, believes that the Bull Sharks contain the key to intelligence enhancement, which he secretly intends to sell for big profits. Now, Emma and her

Movie Review: Blood Vessel (2019)

Peep this; it’s the Second World War, and things are gettin’ violent as fuck! Don’t believe me? Well, those dreaded Axis powers have hucked a torpedo at a military hospital ship… resulting in a motley crew of military personal being adrift on the open sea in a lil’ life raft. Fortunately for them, they are soon within spittin’ distance of a huge German vessel… okay, that’s not fortunate at all… but possibly a p.h. better than starving to death in a rubber raft… debatable. Anyway after an action-packed boarding of that beastly boat we get down to brass tacks; namely that the ship is mostly full of corpses… mostly… I mean there’s a pretty unreasonable amount of vampires on board as well… I mean, one would be more than enough to qualify as “unreasonable”, but there’s at least a few more than that. So it’s Das Boot by way of the ‘Demeter’ sequence from Dracula as our harried heroes attempt

Malcolm McDowell In Talks To Star In ‘The Lost Boys’ Musical

Back in 2017 musician G Tom Mac, whose song “Cry Little Sister” became iconic after being featured on The Lost Boys soundtrack, sat down with us for an interview. During our conversation, G Tom Mac went into detail about plans to turn the classic movie into a musical. It’s been a few years since then, but the musical finally now seems to be moving forward. “I’ve been working on it for five years. I always thought ‘Lost Boys’ would make a great musical. I wanted to dig deeper into the characters and give everybody a backstory and how they all came together and how they became vampires. David is the most important vampire which Keifer Southerland played so well in the movie. We start the musical off with a five-year-old David and how he comes to America as an adopted child. That’s how it got started, figuring out how to build wonderful characters and keep the humor in there that

Movie Review: Carmilla (2019)

At an isolated country manor, Mr Bauer (Greg Wise) resides with his teenage daughter Lara (Hannah Rae) and Lara’s hard-ass governess Ms Fontaine (Jessica Raine). Lara spends her days being bored off her ass… that is until the survivor of a carriage accident (Devrim Lingnau) is taken in by Bauer. The girl claims she has no memory of where she’s from or who she is, but Lara takes to calling her Carmilla. Lara becomes absolutely smitten with Carmilla, as they mystery girl stirs new feelings inside her… but there is more to Carmilla than meets the eye which could spell doom for the Bauer household! Based on the novella by Sheridan Le Fanu of the same name, Carmilla is a tale of vampirism that pre-dates Bram Stoker’s more famous Dracula, but is every bit that novels equal… and where Dracula dabbles in homo-eroticism, Carmilla flaunts it. Admittedly, writer/director Emily Harris has dialed back the more overt vampire biz in this
