By MoreHorror.com Horror director Edward Payson brings an edgy new horror webseries dealing with Cannibalism, Werewolves, Demons and Christians…is the tagline for Sunday Night Slaughters, the brand new horror series / DVD anthology that Edward Payson, Antonino Buzzone and the MOnsterworks66 duo, Angel Corbin (DisOrientation) and Maria Olsen (Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief), are teaming up to produce. With such powerhouse producers attached, the series can only be stunning!

EDWARD PAYSON & AN ANTI-HERO PRODUCTIONS
Edward Payson is an up-and-coming filmmaker – the whole package: writes, directs and produces – and he is fast making a name for both himself and his production company, An Anti-Hero Productions, in the horror and documentary worlds.  Horror fans may remember Payson for bringing them the disturbing serial killer yarn Morbid: A Love Story, and they’re also presently anticipating the release of his documentary on snuff killer Collin Mason, The Cohasset Snuff Film, later this year.  His documentary on the hard-knock life of unsigned musicians in Los Angeles, Unsigned, is also currently making waves on the festival circuit.

MOnsterworks66
MOnsterworks66 – read Angel Corbin and Maria Olsen – has recently been making waves on both the film and the horror circuits.   Past credits of this fast growing production company include making the first short film in their anticipated short horror film anthology DVD – Graeme Parker’s Life’s a Lottery – and teaming up with Brandon Scullion of Iodine Sky Productions to make the so-cool-it’s-frozen horror feature Live in Fear.  The fantasy-adventure feature, Faraway, where they co-produced with Randal Kamradt Jr of Soliloquy Films is almost wrapped (after having a wonderfully successful shoot in The Philippines), and Justin Calen Chenn’s scifi-comedy Folklore, on which they hold Associate Producer credits, should shortly announce distribution details. Corbin and Olsen are thrilled to be working with the talented Edward Payson on his brand new project, which is sure to be a sure-fire best-seller!

North American rights for the found-footage Bigfoot thriller Bigfoot County have been acquired by Grindstone Entertainment Group.

Grindstone will be releasing the movie this winter through Lionsgate Home Entertainment. Read the full details below.

From The Press Release:
Grindstone Entertainment Group has acquired all North American rights for the feature film BIGFOOT COUNTY, a found footage thriller about a group of filmmakers who ventured into Siskiyou County in Northern California, an area widely known for its Bigfoot sightings, and disappeared. Their footage was found a year later. Grindstone will release the film this winter through Lionsgate Home Entertainment.

Stephon Stewart who is the director also stars in the film along with Davee Youngblood and Shy Pilgreen. It was produced by DragonGate Films and You Wanna Do This Or Not Productions.

“I went up to shoot a movie on Bigfoot, then a local I met with presented me with evidence that blew my mind,” says BIGFOOT COUNTY director Stephon Stewart. “After seeing this film, you will begin to believe what many have doubted since the 1967 Patterson/Gimlin Bigfoot Footage was released.”

Everyone's favorite Dark Passenger is back on September 30 and Showtime has revealed its new two-minute trailer for Dexter Season 7.

We all knew it would eventually come down to someone close to Dexter finding out about his urge to kill, and as the trailer shows, that in fact has happened.

I can't wait for the season to start as we get to see Deb take the first peek under the curtain (and thankfully not in the creepy sexual way they alluded to last season).

It looks like season 7 will be one of the best seasons so far so far as the writers decided it was time to take some much needed risks in the series.

On what will happen in Dexter season 7 according to Dexter executive producer Scott Buck:

"One of Dexter’s hallmarks is that no one really knows who he is, and now Deb at least has a little peek behind the curtain. How much she actually knows and figures out will all be part of the drama of next season, but it’s certainly going to affect our story in a very big way.

I don’t think we’ll toy with the audience. She sees what she sees and we all know exactly what she’s seeing, but how much does that really say about Dexter and what does Deb already know about him? This is her brother, who she’s known her whole life. To walk into a situation like this, you’re not going to immediately think, ‘Oh, my brother is a serial killer.’ You’re going to think, ‘Oh, my brother is killing DDK. This is crazy and insane.’ She’s taken the first peek behind the curtain, but it’s not necessarily daylight just yet."

LOVELY MOLLY, the film that the New York Times called “Harrowing.” is being released on Blu-ray & DVD on August 28th, 2012 by IMAGE ENTERTAINMENT.

To kick things off, thanks to the kind people from Image Entertainment, we've go two Blu-ray copies of Lovely Molly to give away.

From The Press Release
Some things never leave home. Image Entertainment presents the chilling and disturbing Lovely Molly, which opened to critical acclaim when it was unveiled at the Toronto Film Festival in 2011, making its VOD premiere July 16th, with the Blu-ray™, DVD and Digital Download arriving on August 28th. Fresh from its critically acclaimed national theatrical engagements, Lovely Molly is from the Executive Producer of the Lord of the Rings and marks the long overdue return to first-person horror from Eduardo Sánchez, the co-director of the revolutionary horror film The Blair Witch Project.

When newlywed Molly Reynolds (Gretchen Lodge) moves back into her long-abandoned childhood home, she begins to experience unnerving and impossible things. What starts as a simple story about things that go bump in the night escalates into a battle for dominion over Molly's spirit, as she is beset by a cunning, malevolent force bent on wreaking havoc and terror on Molly and her family. Richly exploring the parallels between psychosis, addiction, and demonic possession to chilling effect, Lovely Molly shows us what really happens before the exorcist arrives.

Fatal Games (1984) Movie Review
Directed By: Michael Elliot
Written By Rafael Bunuel & Michael Elliot

Starring: Sally Kirkland (Diane), Lynn Banashek (Annie Rivers), Sean Masterson (Phil Dandridge), Michael O’Leary (Frank Agee), Teal Roberts (Lynn Fox), Spice Williams-Crosby (Coach Drew), Melissa Prophet (Nancy Wilson), Angela Bennett (Sue Allen Baines), Nicholas Love (Joe Ward), Lauretta Murphy (Shelly), Michael Elliot (Dr. Jordine), Christopher Mankiewicz (Coach Webber)

Stick with the Olympics! This movie is a game of fatally flawed, slow mayhem. Coming at the end of the slasher peaks in the 1980s, “Fatal Games” attempts to be different but is too flawed to even find enjoyable.

Michael Elliot’s direction could use polishing but this was the only movie he did thank goodness. This movie has only been released by Media Home Entertainment on VHS.

A group of high schoolers are slowly killed off at a local high school in grueling ways by a heavily dark clothed javelin thrower. The plot goes further as these teens are suppose to be trying out for something called “The Nationals” in the Olympics, which doesn’t even exist. The plot’s incoherence already makes this killer’s motives sketchy.

The characters are your typical cheesy 1980s types except these are entirely forgettable and not worth mentioning.

While watching this, I didn’t care who died or didn't. It is filled with juvenile humor but has its fair share of nudity. Unlike better slashers where you can at least relate to a couple of characters, you can’t relate to any here because of how one dimensional they are.

Turbulence is the least of their worries. On October 16th, Image Entertainment presents Airborne, a “Twilight Zone”-infused horror/thriller starring Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill (Star Wars Trilogy,).

When a storm starts closing in, air traffic controller Malcolm (Hamill) sends one last plane into the sky – but after takeoff, the passengers aboard discover the pilots have been brutally murdered. Suddenly the plane disappears from radar, and one by one, the people aboard turn into dangerous, bloody psychopaths. With time running out, the survivors must unlock the deadly mystery in their midst – and find a way to land the plane before their ultimate nightmare is unleashed!

From its opening shots of cavernous tunnels and a badly beaten Jessica Biel, it feels right away that The Tall Man might have something new to offer our rabid horror appetites.

We journey back 36 hours to the aptly-named Cold Rock, a northwestern mining town dying a slow, painful death. A news report recounts the stories of children that have gone missing from the town and we meet the Tall Man, an urban legend in Cold Rock that the town points to as being responsible. Biel portrays the town medic, Julia Denning, who inherited the duties from her late husband and takes care of the poorest of Cold Rock’s poor. When Julia’s son goes missing, she sets off into the night to find him in pursuit of The Tall Man and a world of mystery.

What sounded at first like a cat & mouse horror tale of the Jeepers Creepers kind, ended up delivering a high-grade thriller in the same league as The Orphanage. The Tall Man is a France/Canada co-production set in America so we get an English language film that doesn’t play by Hollywood rules. Director Pascal Laugier who also helmed 2008’s Martyrs, has crafted another solid thriller with twist and turns woven into a plausible fabric. Laugier’s visual pallet with The Tall Man is mostly dulled blues and greens, reflecting the darkness of this downtrodden northwestern town. The foggy, wet, and dark setting also makes for a surreal atmosphere.

Beautiful Jessica Biel authentically portrays Julia Denning with minimal makeup and mostly dressed in unattractive coats and pants. Biel owns this role and that’s a great thing because she’s in almost every scene. An early scene filmed through foggy glass has Julia trying to save a newborn. So we can barely make out the image, but we hear her sounds of desperation as she tries to revive the baby. The long take without edits is a piece of beautiful work, both behind and in front of camera. The film’s atmosphere benefits from composed shots like this one, utilizing long takes as opposed to quick flashes and the shaky cam prevalent in today’s horror flicks.
