Brandon Cronenberg To Direct The Sc-fi Horror Film DRAGON

Brandon Cronenberg (David Cronenberg’s son), who made his great feature debut with Antiviral, is set direct and co-write Dragon, a sci-fi thriller that he describes as “like an adaption of an imagined Philip K. Dick novel.” Dragon, set in the near future, society has radically changed as a result of discovering ancient organic lifeforms drifting through the universe, whose alien biochemistry has been processed to create a hugely profitable drug that acts as an opiate to the masses. The film follows a captain and her crew as they hunt the “dragons” in space. He has stated that the film will explore “the pleasures of space horror in a satirical and at times psychotic universe.” Cronenberg is co-writing Dragon with Dan Abnett of Marvel Comics. Filming is set to begin in mid-2018 with Prospero Pictures and Independent producing, Variety reports.

Banshee by Terry Maggert

Banshee by Terry Maggert is a science fiction and fantasy novel I was sent by the author to take a peek at. I intended to review it much sooner, but as you may read in the author’s note below, life is a very fickle thing. Initially what attracted me to this story was the focus on dragons and war. The promise of demons and monsters “sweeping across the planet in a wave of death” had my name written all over it. Who doesn’t love destruction and dragons? Book Description: Cities Fall. Dragons Rise. War Begins. The war for earth began in Hell. First came the earthquakes. Then came the floods. Finally, from the darkened mines, caves and pits, the creatures of our nightmares boiled forth to sweep across the planet in a wave of death. On the run and unprepared, mankind is not alone. We have dragons. Emerging from their slumber, giant dragons select riders to go to war. Their

Get Ready To NOCT Your Socks Off

Ever wanted a 2D top-down online multiplayer survival horror? Well, your wish has come true with Noct. Highly stylized and reminiscent of games like Alien Swarm or Hotline Miami, Noct pits you against a dark force, known as Nocturnal, that has wiped out most of human civilization and turned the Earth into a desolate wasteland devoured by darkness. However, the nightmarish beasts conjured by this endless night aren’t the only enemies you will face, as there will be other players to compete with. Sure you can team up with them, but in a world overrun with evil, it’s every person for themselves. Noct switches things up with the way it looks by making it look as though you are watching the scenario through thermal imaging, giving you a fairly limited range of sight that can easily be overwhelmed by the monsters that lurk around corners – and with only one life, you would be wise to explore with caution. Adding

The Numinous by Tristan Michie

The Numinous by Tristan Michie could most easily be classified as a science fiction-thriller, but it definitely has some horror and suspense elements thrown in. Although I made contact with Michie in a writing group, I was interested in reading The Numinous based on the premise, alone. One of my favorite films is Event Horizon and I couldn’t help but see the resemblance in the book’s concept. Book Description: Light years away from home drifts a cold, bleak ship; seemingly void of all life……. Markus Clyde woke from his Stasis in a lonely, dark room, dimly lit by the emergency power. With not another soul in sight. In his confused and disorientated state, he desperately tries to figure out what has happened, why was he here? Where are the rest of the crew? With power rapidly failing and disturbing events occurring throughout the ship, he finds himself in a race against time. To get the ship home……. Or die trying.
