Check Out The First Teaser For ‘Distortion’ Starring Sadie Katz

We’ve got the first teaser trailer for the upcoming psychological horror-mystery Distortion. In Distortion, behind every truth, there is a lie, and every lie contains some truth. The film is a story of five women each hiding their cursed lives, behind a myriad of trickery and distortion. Distortion was written and directed by Rod Smith, the writer behind Mayday and Lockdown, both distributed by Lionsgate. The female-driven film, the first of a trilogy, stars Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6, House of Bad (pictured)), Helene Udy (The Dead Zone), Lainee Rhodes (Break of Dawn), Dawna Lee Heising (Bad President), and Tatiana Larrea (Sins of the Mother). “The story begins five years after Vincent, a psychopathic serial torturer and ritualistic killer, was presumed to have been murdered, but his body is never found. Dr. Epstein has invited four women, Vincent’s only living victims to the home where he once tortured and ritualistically sacrificed over 100 women to his God. Dr. Epstein convinces

DVD Review: Clown Fear (2020)

Carlee ( Sadie Katz who co-wrote the film along with director Minh Collins) decides gettin’ hitched ain’t her bag (mainly because her future beau is a D-bag) and ditches her wedding along with a cadre of bridesmaids. Their flight takes them waaaay off the beaten path and they find themselves at a motor inn run by a cult comprised of some of those creepy mother fuckin’ clowns that are all the rage with Irish women between the ages of 21 and 37 named Aoibhinn. Anyway, those damn clowns have had a firm grip on the entire territory for centuries, and now they are making these ladies’ day hell six ways to Sunday! Now which, if any, of our comely heroines will survive these grease paint ghouls… So what works, what doesn’t, and is Clown Fear worth your time? Glad you mother fuckers asked… even if you didn’t. So firmly in the “plus” column is the acting present in this terror

Blu-ray Review: Automation (2019)

Happy Holidays from Alert Insulation, you’re all fired! Now just why is Alert giving everyone their staff the heave-ho? Well, that is all thanks to mega-efficient robot Auto (Jeff J. Knight in the suit with voice by Jim Tasker) who can handle an entire shift practically by himself… and there’s a better version of Auto itself ready to roll out. Small problem there… Auto gets wind of his eminent early retirement, blows a fuse, and becomes a full fledged murder machine that threatens the existence of the remaining staff. Maybe they shouldn’t use former military hardware to save a buck… With it’s pointed satire taking aim at corporate America and robot lead, you can bet demons to fuckin’ donuts that Automation brings to mind Verhoeven’s all-time classic flick Robocop, but that’s just surface level cats n’ creeps. The flick also has some stuff to say on office politics, what it means to be human and sentient, and just how much

Movie Review: Bus Party to Hell (2017)

After a cold open where Tara Reid decapitates a dude in a top hat (honestly, we are off to a very promising start) we get into the meat and potatoes of Bus Party to Hell…namely a group of attractive, horny, drunks head out across the desert in a party bus (we also get nudity within the first five minutes…that’s two for you movie…keep the momentum going) while a few miles away Tara returns to battle mummies (as a woman’s top flies off..,is it legal to marry a film, ‘cuz I think I want this one in my life forever). Anyway, as fate, and fright flick tropes, would have it, our raunchy revelers are soon waylaid by a group of Satanic cannibals after that cacophonous conveyance of theirs breaks down. Trapped inside the bus with death lurking just outside, can our hard partyin’ protagonists survive the night? As you can tell by my enthusiasm above, I am pretty into what Bus

BLOOD FEAST Receives An Expanded Release And New Date

One of the few, and I mean very few, remakes I’ve looked forward to seeing is director Marcel Walz’s Blood Fest, originally released in 1963 by H.G. Lewis. A distribution deal had been struck and Medallion Releasing was set to release Blood Feast in theaters on April 28, 2017. Instead a new date has been announced. Due to fan demands, Blood Feast will be getting a wider release on June 23, 2017. Starring Robert Rusler, Caroline Williams, Sophie Monk, and Sadie Katz, the story centers on Fuad Ramses (Rusler) and his family who have moved from the US to France, where they run a diner. With business not going well, Fuad takes a second job as the night shift at a museum of ancient Egyptian culture. During the long, lonely nights, he finds himself drawn to an ancient statue of the goddess Ishtar (Katz). He becomes more and more drawn to her as she speaks to him in visions. Eventually

Ten Interviews With Women In Horror

As part of our celebration of Women In Horror Month we would like to take a look back at 10 of the fantastic, talented, inspiring women that we have had the honor of interviewing over the past two years (in no particular order), including actresses, writers, directors, artists, and more. Bianca Bradey Bianca was the incredibly talented star of the film ‘Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead’. She is now preparing to once again lead the cast of ‘Wyrmwood’. However, this time it will be in the form of a series spin-off of the zombie flick. Read The Interview HERE. Sadie Katz Sadie has starred in numerous films including ‘Blood Feast’, ‘Wrong Turn VI’, and the upcoming film ‘Moggy Creatures’. She’s also hilarious. Read The Interview HERE.

Actress-Director Sadie Katz Talks About Hillbillies, Killer Cats, And Being A Goddess In An Interview

Today, I sat down for an interview with actress-director Sadie Katz, for what turned out to be one of the most entertaining interviews I have ever had. Katz has starred in many roles including a drug thief in ‘House of Bad’, Sally in ‘Wrong Turn 6’, the Goddess Ishtar in the remake of ‘Blood Feast’, and a wife desperate for love in the upcoming creature feature ‘Moggy Creatures’. Katz has also co-starred in many other films like ‘State of Desolation’ and ‘Way to Abbottabad’. Her own documentary, ‘The Bill Murray Experience’ will be screening in film festivals soon. Horror Fuel: “Did your co-stars in ‘Wrong Turn 6’ freak you out at all while in makeup?” SK: “It’s really funny, the three baddies, they never came out without makeup on, which is really strange. They are always in character. Every time I saw them I was like this so weird. They never talked. They just kind of grunted and everything. I

Cat Monsters And Mayhem – The Trailer Is Here For Moggy Creatures

The first trailer for the practical effects film ‘Moggy Creatures’ that follows a couple who adopt a cat, but the couple have no idea that the kitty is pregnant with evil creatures. In the film, from writer-producer Scott Frazelle, centers on “Michael and Anna are leftovers of the Hollywood dream; he was once a promising actor, she an aspiring photographer. They cling to their artistic dreams, but their bond has thinned over the years and a devastating loss. Their new fixer-upper, far from the Hollywood Hills, offers some solace when they bring in a stray cat and it has kittens. Anna loves the new pets, finds a rewarding job, and turns back to Michael, who also finds a new opportunities. But as the kittens grow at a shocking pace, they begin influencing Anna and testing Michael. Anna’s behavior becomes tortured and irrational, the now grown cats more intelligent, and Michael can no longer tell where reality lies-until one final growth
