Mon Mon Mon Monsters! Will Be Unleashed Next Month

RLJE Films has snagged select rights to Shudder’s horror-comedy Mon Mon Mon Monsters! and will unleash it on Blu-ray and DVD next month. In the film written and directed by Giddens Ko (You Are the Apple of My Eye), a group of classmates doing community service discover two flesh-eating creatures hiding in an old building. One of the creatures is able to escape, but they capture the other one, torturing her while trying to learn what she really is. It soon becomes clear that the first creature’s escape has dire consequences, as she hunts them down and stops at nothing to free her sister. This fun flick stars Eugenie Liu (“Behind Your Smile”), Pei-Hsin Lin, Carolyn Chen (Attention, Love!), Yu-Kai Deng (Tree in the River), and Kent Tsai (All Because of Love). Mon Mon Mon Monsters! claws its way onto Blu-ray and DVD on February 4, 2020.

Movie Review: Dead Don’t Die in Dallas (2019)

Great news; scientists have cured and prevented AIDS with a pill… bad news, you get zombie as fuck off that shit! So down Texas way, in the town of Eliasville; Beth Anne (Willam Belli) and Phil (Angel Martinez) two hold outs in the pill popping department have holed up in an abandoned building… too bad they aren’t alone, as homophobic preacher Samuel (Richard D. Curtin) and his family (including his closeted gay son) have taken up residence there as well. Soon our heroes must team-up with those that would destroy them (along with some vigilantes for good measure) if they are to survive the gut-munchin’ madness that threatens everyone; gay, straight, or other’s continued status as “living”. In all honesty, Dead Don’t Die in Dallas surprised the ever-lovin’ shit outta yours cruelly! Let’s start with some of the ol’ ghoulish goodness… namely the F/X work. While definitely more on the comedy horror tip, this flick nevertheless delivers quality practical effects

Elijah Woods Is In Danger In The Twisted ‘Come To Daddy’ Trailer

Elijah Wood (Color Out of Space) is making his return to horror with Come to Daddy. Saban Films has now released the trailer which teases a dark, twisted movie. Come to Daddy centers on Norval Greenwood, who arrives at his estranged father’s remote coastal cabin after receiving a letter. He quickly discovers that not only is his dad a prick and a bit insane, but that he also has a shady past that they are about to come face to face with. Norval must fight demons, some real and some perceived, in order to reconnect with the father he doesn’t really know. Written by Toby Harvard (The Greasy Strangler), based on an idea from director Ant Timpson (ABC of Death), Come to Daddy also stars Stephen McHattie (“Watchmen”), Garfield Wilson (“The Man in the High Castle”), Michael Smiley (The World’s End), Martin Donovan (Tenet), and Simon Chin (Killing Eve).

Movie Review: Paranormal Farm 3 Halloween (2019)

Our dude Carl (writer/director Carl Medland) is headin’ back to the freaky farm that made him famous, and things aren’t lookin’ good regarding his personal safety! Following the events of the first two Paranormal Farm flicks (which I reviewed here and here) the aforementioned Carl is called back to Darren (Darren Earl Williams) and Lucy’s (Lucy French) remote farm, only to discover that things are becoming more violent thanks to the strange forces at play on that desolate land… and because he didn’t learn anything from his previous experiences, he dives balls deep right into the gaping maw of pure terror… or he decides to look around the farm with a flashlight searching for arcane energy… whichever reads better. Anyway, the investigation continues and our heroes must deal with malicious mannequins, the occasional putrefied rat, debates about wardrobe continuity, and even more whack-o visitors to the farm. Will Carl make it through the ghoulish goings-on unscathed… and more importantly will
