Human Hibachi: Mario Cerrito III Talks About His New Film In An Interview

Writer-director Mario Cerrito III has a new upcoming horror film, Human Hibachi, and he sat down to talk with us, giving our readers a little taste of what they can expect. Horror Fuel: “We shared the first batch of images from Human Hibachi when they were released. They seem to be teasing cannibalistic aspect of the film.” Mario Cerrito III: “There is. The film is made in a found footage style. I’m a fan of found footage. It’s a hybrid. I made the film part found footage and part storyline. It’s not your common found footage. It’s got a good storyline which I feel will be holding people’s attention. I wanted to do something different on this one, my first two were shot in a regular cinematic style. So much has been done, but I haven’t seen anything like this. I wanted to do something original.” Horror Fuel: “How did the story come to be?” Mario Cerrito III: “I was

There are a lot of projects that come to Horrorfuel. Some look really cool and exciting and the odd one looks a little…not quite as exciting.

Trailer And Release Date For Horror Comedy ‘The First Date’

Everyone has had a first date nightmare, let’s all join together and watch other’s nightmares instead of our own! We have the trailer debut for the Horror Comedy ‘The First Date’ coming to Amazon Video, Amazon Prime and Vimeo On Demand on September 26! “Tired of the online dating world, a hopeful woman decides to give it one last try with a charming stranger who owns his own theater and has a collection of very strange short films. Produced by Buttino and Groves as ‘The September Brothers’ in New York, the new 80-minute long feature film combines traditional horror, paranormal scares, science fiction, and plenty of b-movie humor. “What ‘The First Date’ might lack in budget, it more than makes up for it in creativity, originality, and the filmmakers’ genuine love for the horror genre. It’s scary, funny and frankly, a bit weird (in the best way possible). We think viewers will enjoy The September Brothers’ quirky and relatable style
