A Phone App Reveals Terrifying Spirits In ‘You Die’ (Trailer)

The Italian horror film You Die is set to arrive on DVD next month. Ahead of its release, we have the new trailer that reveals terrifying spirits. Written and directed by Alessandro Antonaci, Stefano Mandala, and Daniel Lascar, the film centers on Asia, a young student, who finds a mysterious app on her phone. It looks like an augmented reality game, but soon she realizes it’s much more than that. It’s an app that connects to the world of the dead, which allows her to see ghosts through the camera of the phone. The timer starts counting down from 24 hours and Asia’s insanely horrific experience begins. People around her struggle to believe her as she ends up facing this evil curse and fighting for her survival, all by herself. A terrifying journey into the land of the dead via the technology of the living, You Die will have you looking over your shoulder every time you check your phone.

DVD Review: Infection (2019)

Dr. Adam Vargas (Rubén Guevara) and his neighbor Johnny (Leonidas Urbina) thought shit would be peaceful as fuck in their small town… but a fast spreading virus is coming their way pronto from the strife-torn urban jungles of Venezuela (not to date this review, but this is some timely-ass shit as I write these wicked words). Anyway, said virus turns people into flesh hungry pseudo-zombies (think those featured in Lenzi’s 1980 classic Nightmare City or it’s highly derivative, more well-known kissin’ cousin; Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later) and wouldn’t you know it; our heroes find themselves balls deep in Zombietown as they set off across on a fright filled journey to retrieve Vargas’ son from his grandmother’s house! So, as you can imagine, Infection drops us into some very familiar terror territory; we get our (kinda) zombie apocalypse, a small group that tries to survive the hungry hordes… hell, we even get pointed social commentary ala George A. Romero’s walking

DVD Review: Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary (2018)

The local school principal is eager to end the rumors that accidents that have befallen the student body as of late are the result of supernatural static comin’ straight from everybody’s fav monstrous mirror maiden; Bloody Mary! To that end he hires The Ghoulbusters (yes, they are called out on the name and their eerily similar logo); a squad of local ghost hunters (who fake all of their encounters ‘natch) hoping to score a shit-hot TV deal… and let’s not beat around the bush; these folks are pretty inept… some downright stupid in fact. Anyway, our faux-heroes totally release that dread dame from her looking-glass prison and soon she engages in a bloodbath the ‘busters’ are ill-equipped to handle! Will they survive the night and end Mary’s revoltin’ reign or will they end up the next pile of gory goo splattered all over the halls of that insane institution?!! Ghost Killers vs Bloody Mary is one hell of a great

DVD Review: Killer Weekend

A group of friends, fairly large idiots one and all, decide to partake in a paint ball/survival game fracas where the staff pretend to be the living dead. Unfortunately for a member of said staff, one of the blokes gets a little too into the goings-on and ends up stabbed to death (accidentally) by our gang of goofs. This of course causes our heroes to hatch a screwy plan to hide what they’ve done from the rest off the staff… and hopefully that goes well because they are rather unhinged en masse! Let’s waste no time diving into the mixed bag that is Killer Weekend. While amusing at times, most of the characters on display here are pretty interchangable, and at times pretty unlikable, which is definitely a bit of a minus in a horror comedy where you are supposed to sympathize with the dire straits the characters find themselves in. To be fair, when they are “on” they are

A Group Of Men Have A ‘Killer Weekend’ In This Horror Comedy (Trailer)

This February Dark Sky films will unleash the action-packed horror-comedy Killer Weekend where things go horribly and hilariously wrong for a group of buddies on a stag weekend. When Sam (Sean Verey, The Hot Potato, EastEnders) discovers that his stag weekend not only is a mock zombie survival experience but that his disapproving father-in-law-to-be has also been invited, he couldn’t be more annoyed. But when the bachelor party arrives to find the “zombies” are in fact a bunch of psychotic ex-soldiers, their fantasy weekend quickly starts to look like a nightmare. After a series of unfortunate mishaps finds the group trapped in a disused nuclear bunker besieged by the bloodthirsty troops, Sam must ask himself: Is it all still just a game, or is it actually game over? Co-starring in director Ben Kent‘s adrenaline-fueled debut feature are Mark Heap (Upstart Crow), Danny Kirrane (Don‘t Forget the Driver) and Ewen MacIntosh (Shed of the Dead). Killer Weekend hits Digital and DVD

Blu-ray Review: Girl on the Third Floor (2019)

Don Koch (C.M. Punk) has had a bit of a rough go lately; he’s lost his job, almost been chucked in the slammer… but on the plus side, his wife Liz (Trieste Kelly Dunn) has got a bun in the oven, and he has a rather killer Victorian-era house to renovate. Seems prosaic enough, but the locals have plenty to say about the abode, none of it particularly great… and anyone can see why, as the dwelling leaks all manner of glop from the walls and pipes… a little black sludge here, demon spunk from the shower there, not to mention Don’s pooch hates the place like a mother fucker, which is never a good sign… just the things all homeowners go through. As things get ever more hectic our beleaguered hero soon finds himself balls deep in affairs, dead pets, and oh so much more as apparently his new home used to be a whorehouse that seemingly serviced Silent

Blu-ray Review: Darlin’ (2019)

Darlin’ features the various and sundry adventures of the eponymous title character (played by Lauryn Canny); a feral child who is dropped off at a hospital located at the edge of a snow covered forest by her equally feral mother; The Woman (played by the film’s director and writer, Pollyanna McIntosh… who we interviewed here, as a character featured in Lucky McKee’s movie of the same name… yup, this flick is a sequel to that very film, which in turn is based on the writing of Jack Ketchum). Darlin’ proves to be one hell of a handful, and is kept sedated until the staff can figure out her fate… a fate that is ultimately decided by the Catholic church (who funds the hospital) that sends her packing to ye olde Catholic orphanage. This of course complicates things when The Woman comes lookin’ for her offspring at the hospital, bearing her fav delicacy; human flesh. The Woman intends to find her

An Artist Develops A Lust For Blood In The ‘Bliss’ Trailer

This September a brilliant artist, desperate to reignite her creativity, unknowingly stumbles upon something dark, not only finding inspiration but also a new bloodlust, in director Joe Begos (Almost Human, The Mind’s Eye) Bliss. “Known for her dark and macabre artwork, painter Dezzy Donahue (Dora Madison) is in a professional rut. Unable to finish her newest commissioned work, Dezzy looks to reignite her creative juices by letting loose-as in, taking every drug insight and tearing through raucous house parties and heavy metal bars. After a few nights spent with her debauchery-loving friends Courtney (Tru Collins) and Ronnie (Rhys Wakefield), though, Dezzy notices changes within herself. On the positive side, she’s finally painting again, but she’s also developing a strange desire for blood. As someone who has never been able to control her vices in the first place, Dezzy is quickly and violently consumed by this bloodlust.” Bliss arrives in theaters and on digital on September 27, 2019, from Dark Sky
