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.

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.

The upcoming horror The House In The Pines just got a little more frightening with the addition of Mick Strawn, production designer of A Nightmare of Elm Street 4:The Dream Master’ and ‘Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III‘.
