Eric Liberacki‘s The Lurker, influenced by the Golden era of horror films, slashes its way onto DVD and Digital this April, from Indican Pictures. Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween, 2007), Naomi Grossman (“American Horror Story”), Ari Lehman (Friday the 13th, 1980) and Adam Huss star in the film that follows several high-schoolers as they prepare a local play. A killer lurks in the shadows and the cast is in danger. With the play set to see its final curtain call, these schoolmates will need to band together, if they hope to survive this killer’s knife. Director Liberacki has talked about the film’s influences and what led him to direct The Lurker. He says of slashers: “my screenwriting always gravitated toward slasher films of that time period (the ’80s, ’90s).” This was the pivotal time for slashers and their many sequels. The Lurker was also a team effort: “While I was shooting the feature film the Pale Man the director, John Lerchen, gave

James Wan Signs On For Universal Monster Movie

On the heels of Leigh Whannell’s success with Universal’s The Invisible Man, horror heavy hitter James Wan (Saw, The Conjuring franchise) has signed on to develop a monster movie for Universal Studios, THR is reporting. Wan’s Atomic Monster will be producing the currently untitled movie written by “Supernatural’s” Robbie Thompson. “Sources say the story takes its cues from Universal’s classic monster legacy and shines it through a modern prism. With shades of Disturbia, the story will focus on a group of teens who discover that a neighbor is building a monster in his basement. Spoiler: the monster gets loose.” Sounds a bit like a modern Frankenstein, doesn’t it? At this time Universal Studios has quite a few monster movies in the works, including Monster Mash and The Invisible Woman. The question is are they part of the “Dark Universe,” the revival of the Universal Monster franchise that we heard so much about a couple of years ago? Or are they

“Chernobyl” Creator Adapting Hit Game ‘The Last OF Us’ For New Series

The creator of HBO’s “Chernobyl” is adapting the hit post-apocalyptic video game The Last of Us for a new HBO series. Craig Mazin is teaming up with the game’s creative director Neil Druckmann for the adaptation. Neil Druckmann is without question the finest storyteller working in the video game medium, and The Last of Us is his magnum opus,” Mazin states. “Getting a chance to adapt this breathtaking work of art has been a dream of mine for years.” The first season will cover the events of the first game, which was released in 2013. It follows Joel and Ellie in the post-apocalyptic US. Joel lost his family twenty years before the game. He’s a smuggler and is given the task of getting 14-year-old Ellie to the Fireflies, a group of rebels. The game, from Naughty Dog, puts a fresh spin on the zombie genre and uses Cordyceps fungus instead of the zombie virus we see so much of. What

Movie Review: Agramon’s Gate (2019)

Richie (Kris Reilly) and Cassidy’s (Kaiti Wallen) are having a lil’ shindig, and they’ve had the seemingly shit-hot idea of hiring a psychic named Vesna (Aphrodite Nikolovski) to tickle the ol’ preternatural pickle and hopefully conjure up some grins. Well ol’ V-dawg suggests the group have themselves a lil’ seance action, which leaves Rich a tad lukewarm, seeing as how he’s a skeptical bastard at heart. Well, as fate, and horror movie goings-on would have it, his instincts are right, as during that spirit chat sesh, some eerie entity or another decides our world is looks waaay better than nay demonic digs it now inhabits and decides to cross the veil right quick… and bad news, said presence may actually be the spirit of richie’s long-dead Pappy, which would really place the terror turd well and truly in the ol’ punch bowl! Now just why wouldn’t that be a welcome family reunion, well… said father, Carter (Yan Birch fromThe People

DVD Review: Zombie Rampage 2 (2018)

In the middle of one of them there zombie apocalypses (a more common occurrence than one would believe if our beloved horror biz is to be believed), a rag-tag group of survivors who’s ranks include, but are not limited to: a dude lookin’ straight out of the ’70s, a woman who continuously shoves people’s faces into her breasts, a rather fab zombie exterminator, and a school girl with a baseball bat. The long and the short of it is, these misfits have to band together and form a fighting force capable of withstanding this horrific outbreak of living dead… so, there probably as good as fucked… Make no mistake, Zombie Rampage 2 is an ultra-low budget affair, so you can take any expectations of Hollywood gloss, put in a box, and shove it right up your arcane ass. Now, as you lot know; that is aces with yours cruelly, and what this fright flick lacks in polish it makes up
