Renny Harlin is set to direct the new military-themed horror film The Refuge, by sci-fi, action writer Ben Sztajnkrycer, Deadline reports. The movie centers on “Sergeant Rick Pedroni, who comes home to his wife Kate changed and dangerous after suffering an attack by a mysterious force during combat in Afghanistan. Officials say her husband suffered a heavy brain injury, but Kate knows it is more than PTSD. As Rick undergoes unsettling therapy with other traumatized soldiers, Kate discovers he has been possessed by a malevolent spirit.” Yariv Lerner, Rob Van Norden, Gary Lucchesi, Michael McKay, and Harlin are producing the movie which is a Revelations Entertainment and B2Y production. Highland Film Group’s Delphine Perrier and Arianne Fraser are Executive Producing alongside Revelations Entertainment’s Kelly Mendelsohn.

It’s not just a regular horror

Robots Are Unleashed In The Ultra Violent ‘Monsters Of Man’ Red Band Trailer

Insane action and brutality fill the new Red Band trailer for director Mark Toia‘s killer robot movie Monsters of Man. Watch as faces are peeled from skulls, limbs ripped from bodies, and humans are pit against robots designed for one person, to kill. The movie teases the terrifying dangers of sophisticated AI robotics used for military applications when a corrupt CIA agent (Neal McDonough) conspires with a robotics company to field test highly advanced prototype robots with the aim of winning a lucrative military contract. Their plan is to drop the robots into the infamous Golden Triangle to test their battle skills on unsuspecting armed drug cartels that no one will miss. The illegal mission turns into a disaster when haywire robots slaughter an entire village of innocent people and the brutal massacre is witnessed by a group of volunteer doctors on a goodwill mission. The cast for this intense thrill ride includes award winner Neal McDonough (Band of Brothers,

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
