New NSFW ‘Born Dead’ Trailer Teases A Blood-Drenched, Brutal Gorefest

TMA has teamed up with Bayview Entertainment for the release of the gorefest Born Dead this April from Italian director Alex Visani. The film follows “Luna, a young embalmer with a strange passion for everything concerning death. One day, during a trip in the woods, she finds two bodies. The first one is a dead woman, the other one is a man who is still barely breathing. From this moment, Luna’s life will change forever and a horrifying spiral of violence will surround her existence.” “Born Dead is not for the faint of heart, it is a raw and macabre movie, with obsessive atmospheres, explicit scenes of violence, and gore. It delves into the most obscure and darkest side of society depicting a weird love story that turns into a desperate fight for survival.” Directed by Alex Visani (Pyramid, Stomach), Born Dead stars Lorenzo Lepori (Flesh Contagium), and Ingrid Monacelli (Stomach). The film’s brutal, blood-drenched, NSFW trailer has arrived, teasing

‘Human Hibachi’ Deemed To Extreme By Amazon

The blood-drenched indie cannibal horror Human Hibachi was set to arrive on Amazon this month but has now been banned on Amazon due to its intense, horrific, and graphic nature. But don’t worry, you can still witness the carnage this month on the official Human Hibachi website. In the film, a man documents his girlfriend’s 35th birthday on his phone. What he captures throughout the night are the most disturbing human acts imaginable. So when I made this film, I knew some of the stuff that I put in it might exclude us from platforms like Amazon, however, I wanted to see my vision through so I wasn’t going to let that hold me back. The main goal was to make something different… something that will be remembered and I’ll take that over being rejected by a platform any day.” Director Mario Cerrito states. Elizabeth Gaynor, Carmine Giordano, Wataru Nishida, Carley Harper, Sopheaktra Theng, Andrew Hunsicker, John Campanile, and Stafford

‘The God In The Hills’ Is Guaranteed To Horrify And Entertain (Short Story Review)

“The God in the Hills” by Jon Steffens is an absolute slap in the face…a kick to the groin…a punch right through your chest-into your heart, and I mean all of this in a good way! I got this short story the other day with no inkling what is was about. No warning, no heads up. So let me give you the favor I never got…this story will wreck you. It is 50 pages of uncensored, no holds barred, gruesome, shocking, and horrific terror that I couldn’t put down. I say that again, I could not stop reading! I was grabbed from word one all the way to the end. This was entertainment in the most graphic way. I was intrigued because of the gore and evilness of the story, but let;s not take away from Steffen’s abilities as a writer. He is very engaging and pains an amazing tale with his words. I saw exactly what he wanted me

Book Review: The Light Reapers: End of the World

I have just had the chance to read the novel The Light Reapers: End of the World by Gary Hickman. Right off the bat, bluntly and honestly, I enjoyed this novel very much and I am grateful that Mr. Hickman sent it to me to read and review. The “Light Reapers” are an elite special ops group of soldiers who have a history of missions together that have bonded them over the years. They are deployed to rescue a scientist who may be able to find a cure for a viral pandemic caused by an ISIS faction which turns people into vicious, flesh eating hordes who who kill for any reason and in every grotesque way you can imagine. Story On the surface, the story of Light Reapers is not anything new. Zombies are a time honored horror tradition with a long, long list of media building their anthology of gnawing and feeding on flesh. For broad strokes purposes, this

Blu-ray Review: Wax Mask (1997)

Paris: the early 1900’s: As a new age begins, a wax museum, operated by Boris Volkoff (Robert Hossein) and his strange assistants, is set to open and all of the city seems to be balls deep into that prospect. Along with that, there have been a rash of disappearances, mainly involving children and prostitutes. Swept up in the mix is young fashion designer Sonia (Romina Mondello), who’s mother was murdered twelve years prior. I wonder if there is a connection? As this fright flick contains zero mystery for the audience (it’s based on Gaston Leroux’s The Waxwork Museum which has been the basis of roughly eleven-billionty films, most famously as House of Wax starring Vincent Price in 1953), we know Volkoff is up to no good… and holy hell is he ever, as his wax creations are made of living victims and arcane science! Before long ol’ Sonia, along with her bland-as-shit pal Andrea (Serventi Longhi), are deep into the

Movie Review: South Mill District (2018)

A few days ago…or longer if you are reading this from the far flung future, or next week (I’m a regular Criswell!) I reviewed one of my fav flicks I’ve laid eerie eyeballs on in a damn sight; namely Joe Meredith’s Teratomorph (which you can read my wicked words concerning said picture right here). In that revoltin’ review I mentioned there was more to the story contained in another film titled South Mill District…guess what I’m reviewing (here’s some hints…read the damn title of the review…now read the three words before “guess”…) South Mill District details the story of two former test subjects (played by Meredith and Cidney Meredith) that were part of a program to combine human and alien DNA (via using mutated symbiotic giant spiders) courtesy of a shady organization known as EonCorp. A decade after an interplanetary war, these two wander the desolate landscape waiting for the final stage of the mutation raging within them to manifest.

Blu-ray Review: Audition (1999)

Audition is a classic fright flick that catapulted the absolutely insane mother fucker that is Takashi Miike in to the hearts of gonzo cinema lovers worldwide (though he was already el hombre in his home turf of Japan thanks to some rather bloody fare such as Fudoh: The New Generation) and most of you gore hounds have certainly laid your eerie eyeballs on it at some point since it’s release 20 fuckin’ years ago (holy shit…). Anyway, if you haven’t here’s a brief sinister synopsis before I get into why this new Blu-ray edition comin’ your way from Arrow Video and their beastly bedfellows MVD Entertainment is worth your hard earned dough… Shigeharu Aoyama (Ryo Ishibashi), a middle-aged widower, is catching static from his 17-year-old son, Shigehiko (Tetsu Sawaki) to get back on the dating bicycle and join the Tour De Trim (so to speak). At the urging of a pal, Aoyama begins hiding auditions for a new wife, and

Movie Review: Teratomorph (2019)

Teratomorph begins with a child poking an amazingly fucked up corpse with a stick…and we are off to the races boils n’ ghouls! Following that we learn an outbreak of the Havoc Virus (engineered by combining alien material with spiders to outrageously nightmare inducing effect) is running rampant, and that aforementioned kid (Elijah Meredith) and a comely pistol packin’, alien fluid extracting, mama named Svetlana (Cidney Meredith) try to survive in the hell left in the wake of this alien hell! Teratomorph is well and truly the shit my creeps! This fright flick is loaded to the revoltin’ rafters with absolutely off-the-charts levels of gore, stop motion giant spiders, and enough alien/human genetic mutations cum body horror to make John Carpenter and David Cronenberg jump back and say “Damn, fool!” …all realized in jaw dropping, beautifully realized, practical effects ghoulish glory designed and executed like a mother fucker by Writer/Director/Producer/Creature Designer/Special Effects Artist Joe Meredith (along with James Bell).

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

DVD Review: Soultangler (1987)

Crazed scientist Dr. Anton Lupesky has for some baffling reason created a drug that frees the soul from the body and lets it inhabit any given corpse, as long as it possess eyes. That sounds pleasant…but wait, it get’s worse. You see the drug also gives the user hellacious hallucinations and drives them batshit bonkers. While that bit of biz is going on, an intrepid reporter is hot on the Dr.’s heels as she feels he may have had something to do with the death of her father…but mostly she smokes a lot and randomly bangs on typewriter keys. Along the way we thrill to people wanting to rent videotapes, random serial killers, Lovecraftian pseudo-science, buckets and buckets of blood and gruesome gore, a jingle-jangle soundtrack, a zombie that appears to be practicing for the Cunnilingus Olympics, and most importantly rampaging Long Island accents! As baffling as it is brilliant, Soultangler is a film you just have to experience…preferably under
