Artwork, Stills, and Trailers for Horror Double Feature Cross Bearer and The Cemetery

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 19:00

The Adam Ahlbrandt directed double feature Cross Bearer and The Cemetery has been making the rounds at Cannes, and we have more details on both, including artwork, trailers, and a few stills.

The films were picked up for German speaking territories by Illusions Unlimited, an Austrian Uncut Distribution Company. CEO Emsch Schneider said, "These movies are very cool and gory. Cross Bearer is a back-to-the-roots slasher, and The Cemetery is a gory and violent flick with amazing practical effects. We're honored to release these brutal movies UNCUT in German speaking territories." We should hear more about a North American release and other territories shortly.

In The Cemetery (official site here) a team of paranormal investigators must fight for their lives after accidentally releasing a demon from a forgotten cemetery. Alternately gut-punching hilarious and brutally violent, The Cemetery takes the best elements of the old-school slasher film and pushes them to the edge.

In Cross Bearer (official site here) a group of strippers looking to score big with a drug deal soon find themselves hunted by a religious maniac hell-bent on purifying the Earth of its sins through murder and destruction. Armed with a carpenter's hammer, the Cross Bearer hunts the girls in a sadistic crusade to cleanse the world.

Both movies were a co-production of Backseat Conceptions and Adversary Films, written and directed by Ahlbrandt, and produced by Doug Sakmann, who also provided the special effects. Actress Natalie Jean (Men in Black 3, Black Swan) stars in both movies and also served as co-producer; executive producers were Brian Iglesias and Anton Sattler.

The Cemetery stars Natalie Jean, Adam Huss, J.D Brown, Tim Cronin, Tabetha Ray, Ruby LaRocca, Roberto Lombardi, and Billy Gram.

Synopsis:
Deep in the Pennsylvania hills a cemetery for those who died during exorcism remains a dark secret for the church. In 1671 hundreds of men, women, and children suffered in bloody, torturous rituals at the hands of priests unable to contain the evil of the possessed. Were these possessions real, or is the story a hoax to cover up the sins of the deranged priests thirsty for human blood? Bill and his team of cynical paranormal investigators plan to find out the truth. As the producer and host of the reality TV show "Ghost Seekers," Bill and his crew have seen it all: abandoned prisons, haunted houses, and decrepit mental hospitals. Night after night of boring trips to empty, rundown buildings has left them sure that the dead stay dead and ghosts are the furthest thing from being real. Their lack of faith will soon be repaid in blood. Armed with the church's historical record, they set out into the wilderness to uncover this series of forgotten atrocities. The demons of the past are invited to return, and the gory details of old sins are revealed as the possessed begin hunting the living.

Cross Bearer stars Natalie Jean, J.D Brown, Isaac Williams, Kacie Marie, Julia Campbell, Victoria DePaul, Kelsey Lehman, Shaun Paul Costello. and Dawn Vaughn.

Synopsis:
Heather is broke. She has a soul sucking job as a stripper. Her live-in girlfriend, Victoria, has a baby and a coke problem. Her boss, Harry, is an abusive maniac. Life cannot get much worse... or so she thought. Determined to get out of this living hell, Heather and her lover, Bunny, plan to rip off Harry, ditch Victoria, and leave town to live out their days on the Greek islands in peaceful bliss. One big score is all they need, and Harry gives them the opportunity when he asks them to take care of a drug deal with one of his clients at an old warehouse. As Heather and her friends arrive, everything seems to be going fine until they make a grisly discovery and are trapped inside by a rambling, religious maniac hell-bent on purifying the Earth of its sins through murder and destruction. Armed with a carpenter's hammer and a fanatic passion, the Cross Bearer hunts Heather and her friends down one-by-one in a sadistic crusade to burn clean the filth of the world. Heather's dreams are shattered, and if she survives, nothing will ever be the same. Unflinchingly raw, primal, and horrifying, Cross Bearer is a trip to the darkest, most vile side of humanity.

Xbox One - Larry Hyrb Answers User Questions

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 16:57

Larry Hryb, Xbox LIVE's Major Nelson, has worked on the Xbox team that developed Xbox LIVE, Xbox 360, and now Xbox One. He took some time to chat on Yahoo! today to answer some lingering and nagging questions regarding the Xbox One. We were on hand and have brought you the key bits of info.

On how the XBox One will be able to play used games...

"We are still months away from the launch of Xbox One & policy decisions are still being finalized."

Why the name Xbox One?

"Xbox One because it is the ultimate all-in-one entertainment system. As far the name Xbox 720 is concerned... that was a name the community came up with. We never considered that name."

There seems to be some confusion in the media on how frequently users must connect to the internet to use the Xbox One. Will this be as frequent as once a day as rumored, or will gamers be able to use the console for extended periods of time without an active connection?

"No. It does not have to be always connected, but it does require an internet connection."

On what the focus will be on during the Xbox One E3 presentation...

"Games. Games. GAMES :)"

On the new controller...

"The new controller is awesome; I have spent a lot of time with it. If you like the Xbox 360 controller, you'll LOVE this controller. We have made over 40 improvements in the new design. Regarding the Start and Back buttons, they'll perform similar functions but right now we don't have final names for them yet. The controller takes 2 AA batteries. More details at E3"

On 3D and 4K support...

"Indeed. Xbox One supports BOTH 3D and 4K."

On whether or not users can opt to use the controller exclusively instead of the Kinect functionality...

"As always, that is a decision up to game creators."

On backwards compatibility with 360 games...

"Xbox One hardware is not compatible with Xbox 360 games. We designed Xbox One to play an entirely new generation of games. Games are architected to take full advantage of the state of the art processors and infinite power of the cloud."

On whether or not the new Kinect can handle smaller rooms better than the Kinect 360...

"It does. It has a much wider field of view which will allow it work in smaller spaces. A 1080p wider field of view even!"

On whether or not there are plans to make Xbox LIVE a worldwide service or if it will remain as currently only available to a number of selected countries...

"We are working hard at making Xbox LIVE available in as many regions as possible. Currently we are in 41 countries."

On game developer feedback....

"They are very excited for Xbox One and the power of Xbox LIVE that will power it…as well as the unique aspects of Kinect and SmartGlass they can tap into."

On appealing to the hardcore gamer while also trying to appeal to a wider audience...

"The hardcore gaming audience has given us some great feedback, and we watch that feedback carefully. I think they’ll be happy after E3."

On how the new Xbox LIVE power will help games...

"The new architecture allows developers to do processing in the cloud in really really smart ways. That will result in much richer gaming experiences than ever before. Again more at E3!"

Limited Edition The ABCs of Death Book/Blu-ray Combo Now Available

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 16:51

Producers Ant Timpson and Tim League announced today the release of The ABCs of Death, a grown-up children’s book based on their highly-successful anthology film of the same name.

With a limited run of only 666 copies worldwide, the book also contains a special edition Blu-ray of the uncut feature film, which includes a whopping 30 commentaries, behind-the-scenes clips, making-of featurettes, and trailers.

Featuring original artwork from acclaimed storybook illustrator Stephan Britt and accompanied by jaw-dropping verses from author Zack Carlson, The ABCs of Death is a 56-page storybook guaranteed to entertain young and old alike with its hilarious, heartwarming tales of cannibalism, suicide, and life-or-death sex tournaments.

Based on each and every horrifying segment from the hit 2012 anthology film (from 26 of the world’s most acclaimed voices in genre cinema), the disturbingly adorable storybook entrenches the movie’s extreme splatter into a whole new world of 1960s, Dr. Seuss-inspired artwork.

“The idea for this unusual film sprung from a deep fondness of alphabet books from our collective childhood,” says ABCs producer and creator Ant Timpson. “A little digging revealed that the books had a dark history and that many early versions were used as punishment primers. In a sleep-deprived state that was all the ammunition required for an epiphany of sorts. How about creating a film inspired by the alphabet?”

And now, it’s time for the book based on that film... based on those books.

The ABCs of Death limited edition storybook (with Blu-ray) is now available for purchase at abcsdeathbook.com for $37.00. The film The ABCs of Death is now available for purchase online and through all major retailers from Magnet Releasing.

Timpson Films, Drafthouse Films, and Magnet Releasing will debut The ABCs of Death 2 in 2014.

New Maniac Trailer Ready to Scalp You

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 16:24

Hot on the heels of the two new one-sheets we showed you a couple of hours ago for the remake of the 1981 Bill Lustig classic Maniac, a new trailer has come our way that does a fine job of illustrating the film's many horrors.

Franck Khalfoun directs the script by Alexandre Aja and Gregory Levasseur, which stars Elijah Wood. Nora Arnezeder (Safe House) co-stars in Maniac (review here).

Look for the film to open in select theaters, on iTunes, and on VOD platforms June 21st.

Synopsis:
A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in the present day, MANIAC is a reboot of the cult film considered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made. Frank (Elijah Wood, in a tour de force performance) is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates and the number of victims increases, it becomes clear that Frank is far more dangerous than he seems. With a pulsating electronic score by Rob, the film is an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiraling nightmare of a killer and his victims.

Grimm Creature Profile: Meet the Zombie Making Cracher-Mortel

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 15:37

Last night's Season 2 finale of "Grimm" was pretty awesome in all respects, not least of which was the presence of the creature known as the Cracher-Mortel, which wreaked enough havoc to keep fans on pins and needles until the show returns in the fall.

The Cracher-Mortel, a puffer fish-like Wesen portrayed by Reg E. Cathey (no offense to Reg, but did anyone else think Tony Todd would have killed in that part?), spits a thick green liquid that induces a death-like trance on its victims. We were pretty shocked to see who its main intended victim was all along, and you better believe the shit is going to hit the fan once everyone else in Portland catches on!

For more info visit "Grimm" on NBC.com (where full episodes are available for viewing), check out some InstaGRIMMS on Instagram, "like" "Grimm" on Facebook, and follow "Grimm" on Twitter.

Sam Neill Calls New Jurassic Park a Reboot

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 14:56

Don't get your panties in a bunch just yet, folks. Some recent news has hit the wire stating that the recently delayed fourth Jurassic Park film is not a sequel, but rather a reboot or remake. However, odds are pretty good that this is just not the case.

This whole thing started when The Dominion Post asked Sam Neill about the upcoming flick and Neill stated, "I'm told it's a big reboot, a total re-jig." Now before you start lighting torches, just keep in mind that a fourth film can kick-start a franchise without remaking it. Think Scream 4. So really, let's cool it a bit, shall we? Sometimes I hate the Internet.

In coordination with the filmmakers, Universal has decided to release Jurassic Park 4 at a yet-to-be-determined later date than originally announced, giving the studio and filmmakers adequate time to bring audiences the best possible version of the fourth installment in Universal’s beloved franchise. Safety Not Guaranteed director Colin Trevorrow had been tapped to helm the next installment in the dino-rific series. Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver penned the script.

Eleanor is exhausted by 200 years on the run and desperate to settle down. But little does she know that her mother has been protecting her all of the years from their own kind, "The Brotherhood". To escape them, they must either blend in or continue running away. But just as they think they may have escaped, their past rapidly catches up with them.

Urban Thriller Apartment 4E Available Now on DVD

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 14:35

New thriller Apartment 4E landed on DVD this week, and when we saw that one of the film's leads, Nicole Beharie, also stars in the upcoming "Sleepy Hollow" TV series, we thought we'd pass on the info in case you're curious about her.

From the Press Release:
One Village Entertainment, an RLJ Entertainment brand, announces the release of the urban thriller Apartment 4E (formerly known as Small of Her Back), available on DVD on May 21, 2013, at an SRP of $14.98.

Starring Nicole Beharie ("Sleepy Hollow," 42, Shame) and Christopher Domig (Second-Story Man), the film was written and directed by Russell Leigh Sharman.

Synopsis:
Piper (Beharie) is a beautiful, intelligent young woman with everything to live for... but she’s trapped in a dark world of her own making. Deeply troubled, desperate, and clutching a handgun, Piper has not left her apartment in a long time; and when there’s a knock on the door, she will face a choice that will make the difference between life and death. This stranger may have the answers to the mystery at the center of Piper’s world, or he may have his own reasons for tracking her down. The truth lies up the stairs and down the hall in Apartment 4E.

A passion project for Sharman, the film received partial funding from a Kickstarter campaign in 2010, reaching 126 backers and raising its goal of over $10,000. The movie then made its world debut at the Urban World Film Festival in New York in 2012 and at the Pan African Film Festival in Los Angeles earlier this year.

Two More Sign on to Feel The Strain

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 14:26

Two more names have signed on to appear in the upcoming FX adaptation of the Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan vampire opus The Strain. Read on for the details surrounding the latest additions, who happen to know a few things about changing the course of history.

THR reports that Titanic's Jonathan Hyde (pictured) and Inglourious Basterds' Richard Sammel have boarded the television project. Hyde will portray the series regular role of Eldritch Palmer, an elderly tycoon who's the third-richest man in the world who has been an invalid since childhood. Though his life-long fight against his frail body, he's developed a relentless drive to attain immortality by any means necessary.

Sammel, meanwhile, will play Thomas Eichorst, a mysterious figure from Professor Abraham Setrakian's past whose re-emergence in New York is not a coincidence. (The role of Setrakian has yet to be cast.) They join the previously announced Corey Stoll, Mia Maestro, and Kevin Durand.

Del Toro will direct the pilot from a script he co-wrote with Chuck Hogan, who also co-authored the books with him. Carlton Cuse ("Lost," "Bates Motel"), who helped develop the adaptation, executive produces alongside del Toro and will serve as showrunner, overseeing the potential series with del Toro. Hogan and del Toro’s longtime manager/producing partner Gary Ungar also serve as exec producers of the project, produced by FX Prods.

"The Strain" is a high-concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Stoll), the head of the Center for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. As the strain spreads, Eph, his team, and an assembly of everyday New Yorkers wage war for the fate of humanity itself.

The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence Gets Stitched to the City of Angels

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 13:54

After months of silence finally there's something new slithering our way regarding Tom Six's The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence... the flick is finally starting up production in Los Angeles. Read on for details.

According to The LA Times, Six Entertainment Co. is scheduled to shoot a scene for The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence on Friday in the Monterey Park area, according to a permit filed with FilmL.A. Inc., which handles film permits for the city and the county. They should be a bit worried though as going ass-to-mouth with folks in any big city can lead to a scorching STD.

A while back the production of The Human Centipede 3: Final Sequence had to be put on hold due a legal battle between director Tom Six's Six Entertainment Company and actor Dieter Laser, who played the villain Dr. Heiter in the first Human Centipede, but the lawsuit has been dropped by Six Entertainment Company and everyone involved is one big sick - yet happy - family again!

More on this one soon!

Dread Central - Wed, 05/22/2013 - 13:37

Raise your glass and drink up, kids! The official U.S. trailer for the upcoming film from Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, The World's End, which will end their trilogy of parody films that started with Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, has arrived! Cheers!

The World's End is directed by Wright and stars Pegg along with long time buddy Nick Frost, Rosamund Pike, Martin Freeman, Paddy Considine, and Eddie Marsan.

Synopsis
20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hell bent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King, a 40-year old man trapped at the cigarette end of his teens, who drags his reluctant pals to their home town and once again attempts to reach the fabled pub, The World’s End. As they attempt to reconcile the past and present, they realize the real struggle is for the future, not just theirs but humankind’s. Reaching The World’s End is the least of their worries.
