DVD Review: American Nightmares (2018)

Two computer hackers run afoul of Mister Malevolent (the legend himself Danny Trejo) and his sidekick (Nichelle Nichols…I know, what the actual fuck, amirite?) who subject them to tales o’ terror in the mighty arcane anthology manner! Thus begins the new fright flick from Rusty Cundieff and Darin Scott (Tales From The Hood and Tales From The Hood 2). First up is Mates; the tale of a woman trying out a new online dating site after experiencing a bad romance (and raising a glass to her love of dick…and no, I’m not kidding). Well the date has an electrifying secret to say the least… This was a bit of a lackluster way to start the collection of tales, as this one isn’t great…or bad…it just…is. Next up comes The Prosecution, which involves an Attorney General setting his sights on becoming the Governor of Texas after a high profile conviction. As you can easily guess, that guilty party makes an escape

New Clip From ‘Deep Blue Sea 2’ Reminds You To Rememer “The First Rule”

This time, they’re stronger, wiser, deadlier… The scientists are building better sharks in Deep Blue Sea 2, the sequel to 1999’s hit shark movie. Ahead of tomorrow’s release on Digital, DVD and Blu-ray Combo Pack, we have a new clip to share. In the sequel directed by Darin Scott (Tales from the Hood), “A shark conservationist Dr. Misty Calhoun (Danielle Savre) is invited to consult on a new, top secret project run by pharmaceutical billionaire Carl Durant (Michael Beach). She believes the project, performed at a remote, sea-based facility, focuses on extracting shark antibodies to help work toward cures for human diseases. However, Dr. Calhoun is shocked to learn that the company is using unpredictable bull sharks as its test subjects, and Durant has bio-engineered a shiver of highly intelligent, super-aggressive bull sharks. When science meddles with the time-tested process of nature and nurture, the outcome can be deadly.” Danielle Savre (Heroes), Rob Mayes (John Dies at the End), Michael

‘Tales From The Hood II’ Moves Closer To Production

Rusty Cundieff’s 1995 Tales From the Hood is finally getting a sequel 20 years after its release. A few months ago Cundieff teased the sequel with a photo he tweeted during location scouting, which he quickly deleted. Cundieff also hinted that we might see the return of the creepy doll from the first film that was featured in the “KKK Comeuppance” segment which featured haunted dolls animated by the souls of slaves. Good Golly. pic.twitter.com/deGdw0m6QA — Rusty Cundieff (@RustyCundieff) March 9, 2018 Following a question from a fan, he revealed that cast was nearly complete. Another tweet was shared on Cundieff’s news feed of a newspaper. If you look closely, you will see that filming will take place in Louisiana and that the film, which still hasn’t officially been announced, has an estimated budget of $3.2 million. EXCITED!!! I hope to work with the GREAT @RustyCundieff on his latest project. #talesfromthehood #nola #film @projectgumbeaux pic.twitter.com/gBnf45uANR — The Don Diva Trell

‘Deep Blue Sea 2’ Trailer Reminds Us Creating Smart Sharks Is A Terrible Idea

Earlier this year we reported that a sequel to 1999’s killer shark movie Deep Blue Sea was in the works. The sequel, which filmed this summer in Cape Town, South Africa, has received a 2018 release and an R rating for “creature violence, gore, and for language”. The trailer has swum in (via IGN) and proves once again that playing god with smart sharks is a horrible idea. Darin Scott (Tales from the Hood) is in the director’s chair for the sequel, simply titled Deep Blue Sea 2. Michael Beach, Rob Mayes, Danielle Savre, Nathan Lynn, and Darron Meyer star. Erik Patterson, Hans Rodionoff, and Jessica Scott penned the script for Syfy.

‘Deep Blue Sea 2’ Is Now Filming

1999’s shark film Deep Blue Sea has always been one of my favorites, in fact it made on our 15 Great Films Set In Water list earlier this week. Back in 2009 we got our hopes up Warner Bros. announced that that a sequel was in the works, only to have it stall. With the recent success of films like The Shallows and 47 Meters down, shark movies are on the radar. Now, news has come that Deep Blue Sea 2 has swam into production and is currently filming in Cape Town. Darin Scott, behind films like Tales from the Hood, Menace to Society II, and From a Whisper to a Scream, will be in the director’s chair. Aquaman’s Michael Beach is set to co-star.
