MODERN HORROR MASTER PAYS TRIBUTE TO THE POPULAR PASTIME OF GRAVE-ROBBING – AND THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF FRIGHT FILMS

Buried secrets will eventually resurface – along with the bodies that carry them – in I SELL THE DEAD, a horror movie that brings the fog-filled thrills of old to a new generation of fear fans. Produced by shock cinema master Larry Fessenden (The House of The Devil), who also co-stars, the movie claws its way onto Blu-ray and DVD from IFC Films via MPI Media Group on March 30, 2010.

It was a time of ghouls, ghosts and most ghastly of all, the fine art of grave-robbing. In this homage to the rich gothic style of Britain’s Hammer Films, Dominic Monaghan of “The Lord of the Rings” and “Flash Forward” stars as 19th century corpse snatcher Arthur Blake, who pilfered the cemeteries and coffins of England until his capture by police. But just before Blake is to meet the hangman’s noose, he will confess to a peculiar priest (Ron Perlman of “Hellboy” and “Sons of Anarchy”) his gruesome tale of vampires, zombies and cadaver-dealing that takes him from the savagery of the criminal underworld to the terrors of the undead.

Synopsis:

Imagine living in a small town where everything is safe and happy…until suddenly it isn’t. Imagine your friends and neighbors going quickly and horrifically insane. In a terrifying tale of the “American Dream” gone horribly wrong, four friends find themselves trapped in their hometown in The Crazies, a reinvention of the George Romero classic directed by Breck Eisner from a screenplay by Ray Wright (Pulse, Case 39) and Scott Kosar (The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre).

David Dutten (Timothy Olyphant) is sheriff of Ogden Marsh, a picture-perfect American town with happy, law-abiding citizens. But one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns down his own house…after locking his wife and young son in a closet inside. Within days, the town has transformed into a sickening asylum; people who days ago lived quiet, unremarkable lives have now become depraved, blood-thirsty killers, hiding in the darkness with guns and knives. Sheriff Dutten tries to make sense of what’s happening as the horrific, nonsensical violence escalates. Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh…with insanity.

Now complete anarchy reigns as one by one the townsfolk succumb to an unknown toxin and turn sadistically violent. In an effort to keep the madness contained, the government uses deadly force to close off all access and won’t let anyone in or out – even those uninfected. The few still sane find themselves trapped: Sheriff Dutten; his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca (Danielle Panabaker), an assistant at the medical center; and Russell (Joe Anderson), Dutten’s deputy and right-hand man. Forced to band together, an ordinary night becomes a horrifying struggle for survival as they do their best to get out of town alive.

A chilling tale in the same vein as The Orphanage, The Others and The Messengers, critics say that HAUNTED ECHOES is one of the most frightening and atmospheric ghost stories of recent years.

After suffering a parent's worst nightmare -- the abduction and murder of their eight-year-old daughter -- Guy (David Starzyk, “Prison Break”, “Desperate Housewives”) and Laura Dykstra (Sean Young, Blade Runner, No Way Out) decide to make a fresh start and, hopefully, save their marriage. They move to a charming old house in need of repair, hoping the project will alleviate their pain. But not long after moving, Laura senses an angry presence that may be the spirit of her murdered daughter. Disturbing messages appear on the walls in fresh paint and a neighbor (M.Emmet Walsh, Youth in Revolt, Christmas with the Kranks) reports seeing a young girl staring at him from inside the house. Is this mischievous spirit their daughter or another entity using the grieving couple for its own sinister purposes?

From the Trunk of a Car, They Terrified a Nation

The Inside Story of How Two Real-Life Serial Killers
Terrorized Our Nation’s Capital, on DVD March 16th

“Enemies of the state: Manson, Unabomber, D.C. Sniper.”
― Independent Film Quarterly

The infamous, real-life killing spree perpetrated by two mysterious shooters is chillingly dramatized in the horror-thriller D.C. Sniper, on DVD March 16 from North American Motion Pictures (NAMP).

D.C. Sniper takes you back to October 2002 when John Allen Muhammad (Ken Foree, 2004’s Dawn of the Dead) and his teenage accomplice Lee Boyd Malvo (Tory N. Thompson), held Washington D.C. and surrounding areas hostage with a terrifying three-week murder spree.

The deadly duo shot and killed 10 people and wounded three more from the specially rigged trunk of a 1990 Chevrolet Caprice sedan before finally being apprehended, allowing the entire country to breathe a sigh of relief.

During three trials and years of appeals, Muhammad professed his innocence and Malvo (who testified against him) tried to “make amends,” but to no avail. Muhammed was executed by lethal injection Nov. 10, 2009 and Malvo, protected by juvenile law, is serving a life sentence without possibility of parole.

The inside story of how two sadistic assassins paralyzed our nation’s capital.

D.C. Sniper is presented in full frame with an aspect ratio of 16 x 9 and 2.0 stereo. Special features include stills gallery and closed captioning.

Move over, Indiana! Whip into action with the adventure of a lifetime in Bikini Jones and the Temple of Eros, swinging onto DVD March 2 from Infinity Entertainment Group.

Dr. Bikini Jones (the luscious Christine Nguyen) is on the hunt for the lost Temple of Eros. Using a golden idol as her guide, she searches the wild land of Moronica, along the way battling man-eating dinosaurs and fending off the sensuously wicked Evilla (2007 Penthouse Pet of the Year Heather Vandeven).

Bikini will do anything to find the sacred temple … and certainly does (much to the delight of her fans)! Co-starring Rebecca Love.

Bikini Jones and the Temple of Eros is presented in anamorphic widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16 x 9 and Dolby Digital. Includes original trailers.

Documentary featuring rare footage, news clips, location shoots, videos, seldom seen photographs and much more!

Sexy Intellectual and MVD Visual are proud to announce the DVD release of MUSE "Under Review" on March 23, 2010.

This film looks at Muse's entire career, and by using rare performance and interview footage of the band, contributions from their closest colleagues and from those who have witnessed and written about their journey, plus seldom seen photos, news reports, scene shoots and a range of other features, creates the finest documentary to date on this extraordinary band, the music they make and the lives they lead.

Includes exclusive interviews with former manager Safta Jaffrey, legendary producer John Leckie, band engineer Ric Peet, video director Mat Kirby, official biographer and NME writer Mark Beaumont and many other close confidantes.

What turns a good band into a great one is usually just the right mix of downright dedication, damned hard work and a special kind of talent which allows for the creation of music that will touch multiple generations.

This is certainly the ingredient list which Muse have employed while creating a sound and image that has captured a fan-base larger than that of just about anyone else around at the moment.

“Stylish”, “unique” and “original” are just a few of the accolades heaped on independent film director Chris LaMartina’s (Dead Teenagers, Shock Festival) two brand-new tales of terror!

BOOK OF LORE
Twenty years ago, in the town to Latonsville, a notorious serial killer known as “The Devil’s Left Hand” kidnapped eleven babies and left local police stumped.

When Rick (Aj Hyde) discovers his girlfriend has been murdered in the same grotesque fashion as The Devil’s Left Hand crimes, he begins a quest to unravel his town’s unspeakable past.

Using a cryptic encyclopedia of local murders called The Book of Lore, Rick and his friends race against time to unlock the secrets of the past – and stop a demented killer from striking again…

GRAVE MISTAKES
When a grave robber tries to barter with an eccentric antiques dealer, the two trade stories rather than goods. Tales of zombies, vampires, and ghosts are told upstairs while an unspeakable horror waits in the basement. In the tradition of Creepshow and Tales from the Darkside, Grave Mistakes is a horror anthology that Ultra Violent Magazine calls “...A stylish...creative and well made feature.”

Halo-8 Entertainment has unveiled the box art for Episode 2 of its GODKILLER: WALK AMONG US 'illustrated film' series, written and directed by award-winning filmmaker Matt Pizzolo. While the novel mixes elements of sci-fi with urban fantasy, this character-driven clip takes place in the very realistic setting of a violent protest on Wall Street. The DVD hits stores on January 26.

GODKILLER Episode 2 is a limited-edition shortform DVD that makes innovative use of the transmedia storytelling style by including digital comic book PDFs and a serialized prequel novel (as both an audiobook MP3 and an e-book PDF) on the data portion of the DVD. The limited edition episodic DVDs are a unique method of bringing GODKILLER to its core audience as each segment is completed.

GODKILLER: SILENT WAR is the story of the end of civilization as we know it. In the near future, 17 year old Joe Junior and his girlfriend Bee run a speakeasy in the basement of an abandoned NYC church where they serve narcotic drinks to underagers while providing sanctuary and black-market employment to draft dodgers. When Joe is recruited by an armed cult of populist assassins, he is thrust into a secret world of international cabals, alien conspiracies, and the countdown to Armageddon.

Finally on DVD is the classic punk rock movie from 1980 starring Richard Hell, illustrating the end of the first wave of New York City punk rock better than any documentary. Nada (Carole Bouquet), a beautiful French journalist on assignment in New York, records the life and work of an up and coming punk rock star, Billy (Richard Hell). Soon she enters into a volatile relationship with him and must decide whether to continue with it, or return to her lover, a fellow journalist trying to track down the elusive Andy Warhol (playing himself). Featuring members of the Voidoids and the Ramones.

This long lost film is like a time capsule from pre-Disneynification New York City: sleazy, dirty and most importantly, real. The DVD package includes a lengthy new interview with Hell about the film and more.

Richard Hell states: "This is a priceless package. The real burnt-out New York in January and February 1978, the Voidoids live at CBGB, Ed Lachman's cinematography, Elliot Goldenthal's sound track, Carole Bouquet's face, my lithe figure, Andy Warhol to break your heart, Luc Sante demonically extracting the ugly truths from me re: the horror of it all (bonus feature which is better than the movie itself)...unique. Spring for it."

Creature Feature Film of the New Millenium!

In this creature feature, a group of college friends on a spring break camping trip are stalked and slashed by an unknown creature with the ability to make them hallucinate through sound waves. The survivors hold up refuge in an isolated farmhouse, cut off from all communication. Now, they have to come up with a plan to kill this unrelenting creature before it kills them.

Banshee!!! takes the idea of the legendary Irish myth and spins it around into a terrifying and unstoppable monster. The initial concept for the creature was developed by co-producer Andrew Gerhard. Dan Anderson did the actual design and the art. Director Colin Theys then took his designs and created the digital model for use in the film.

The physical makeup of the creature is unique. It's got a long face. It doesn't have a mouth. Instead it has vibrating flaps it uses to produce sound which allows it to take on the image of whatever it wants to be. It has wings that fold up on its back. It was designed to be something that could be done without a suit. "We wanted to stay away from the guy in a suit monster," said Theys. "As a CG artist, I hate when you see a guy in a suit and all of the sudden they cut to CGI and it looks totally different. The effects matter to me."

Theys also states, "We put a ton of effort into the movie to make Banshee!!! standout. In the effects department, we have over a hundred and thirty CGI shots. I handle all of the visual effects, so I'm able to ensure that every effects shot looks the same. There's no variation, each shot looks to be the same quality as the one's before it and after it. It's also got lots of stuff: cool sets, lots of characters, lots of death. We tried to make it different. The producer and I went out and watched a lot of indie horror films to see what worked and what didn't work, so that we wouldn't fall into the same pitfalls that they did. It's shot on video, we've got a good cinematographer who worked really hard to make the film look good. Banshee!!! has lots of action, it's fast-paced, and short but sweet. I hate when low-budget horror movies run too long, it just sort of highlights their flaws."

Dark Sky Films, a subsidiary of leading independent producer and distributor MPI Media Group, today announced it has taken on the highly anticipated HATCHET 2, and will help transform the property into a multi-release franchise.

Dark Sky Films has partnered with ArieScope Pictures, the company behind “Hatchet” “Grace” and Green’s upcoming “Frozen,” which will premiere in this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

The Jaw-Dropping and Outrageous Unrated Bitch-Sploitation DVD From Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment

Unlike any “B” movie ever seen! Assume the position and prepare to get slapped as bodacious bad girls, fervent brawls and slow-motion cat fights explode in the adrenaline-fueled, deliciously over-the-top Bitch Slap, coming to Unrated DVD March 2 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Trixie, Hel and Camero may look good on the outside, but they’re nothing but badass on the inside. When the tempting trio arrive in the desert to retrieve stolen jewels at a ruthless gangster’s hideout, they find themselves competing against an assortment of bizarre criminals – and each other. But what else can one expect from a down-on-her luck stripper, a drug-running killer and a ball-busting businesswoman? Bounding with violence and excess galore, Bitch Slap is a wildly explosive tribute to the sensationalistic style of the cult exploitation genre and a modern throwback to the “B” movie film genre.

The audacious and excessive action flick stars a sexy young cast, including Julia Voth, Erin Cummings, America Olivo, alongside tenacious cameos by Kevin Sorbo (“Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”), Michael Hurst (“Hercules: The Legendary Journeys”), Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess”) and Renee O’Connor (“Xena: Warrior Princess”). Already boasting a cult fan following and a #1 trailer spot on Hulu, the Bitch Slap Unrated DVD includes commentary by cast and crew and a behind-the-scenes documentary featurette.

Synopsis:

Martial arts legend and Executive Producer Jackie Chan (The Forbidden Kingdom) introduces a new generation of fans to the art of combat in the new action film Jackie Chan Presents Wushu. Upon arrival to an elite martial arts conservatory, a group of young boys swear an allegiance to each other and form a gang. A decade later at graduation, they unexpectedly cross paths with an evil martial arts master and foil his kidnapping plan. Now, they must put their combat skills to the test in order to defeat this enemy and save their brotherhood. Jackie Chan Presents Wushu is a “…beautiful and up lifting fight film” (Quiet Earth) and “highly recommended to those who love Sammo Hung and a good kung-fu actioner” (Screen Power).

CLASSIC SATANIC PANIC RETURNS IN ONE OF THE MOST ORIGINAL AND SCARIEST MOVIES TO HIT THE SCREEN IN YEARS, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL

The Critically Acclaimed Film from Hot Young Director Ti West landed on countless 2009 Top 10 lists…

A creaky Victorian mansion, a graveyard, a lunar eclipse and a pretty college girl: all the elements of classic ‘80s horror are back – with a modern twist – in THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL! Hot young writer-director Ti West (“The Roost,” “Cabin Fever 2”) sets his tale in the early 1980s and he creates an old-school atmosphere of dread and “satanic panic” that rivals the best of that classic era of shockers; the less-is-more approach has been embraced by new audiences, as proven by the phenomenal success of the similarly unsettling “Paranormal Activity.” THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, starring cult figures Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov, as well as some fresh new faces of fear, arrives on disc from Dark Sky Films and MPI Media Group on February 2, 2010.

Fans of scare classics like “When a Stranger Calls” and “Halloween” know that nothing good ever happens when a girl takes a babysitting job. But what fresh new terror awaits the innocent sitter when there aren’t even any children to watch? THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL has been hailed by critics everywhere. The New York Times’ Manohla Dargis said West “has come up with a period pastiche that mimics the low-res vibe and look of early-1980s horror. And he’s done it with more shiver than splat. Mr. West doesn’t just rise to the horrific occasion, he also revels in its simplicity, squeezing chills by turning on the lights, squeaking the floorboards and, in a heart-thumping scene, sending his heroine up the unavoidable stairs. After years of vivisectionist splatter, here is a horror movie with real shivers.”

On a mission to find the man that hospitalized his brother, Tai risks his life to avenge him on the only court where murder is legal. No rules, no mercy, and only the strongest will survive.
