IFC Midnight have been busy bee's of late, bringing new films to VOD pretty much every week. You can now add Asylum Blackout to this list.

After Dark Action's El Gringo - Poster, Trailer and more!

El Gringo is one of the movies playing the After Dark Action fest, which will hit theaters on May 11th, and truth be known this is the one I am probably most excited about. The reason? Scott Adkins. If you have seen any of his previous flicks, such as Undisputed 2 and Undisputed 3, you will know that he is one hell of an action star. In El Gringo he stars with Christian Slater, and below you can check out the trailer, of which there is plenty of claret, and some stills from the flick. Also of note, especially for my fellow metalheads, and that is that Manowar have recorded a new tune for the film! Sneaky peak below as well.

First Teaser Poster for The Bunny Game takes your breath away

July will see the release, to Blu-ray and DVD, of director Adam Rehmeier's controversial The Bunny Game. Autonomy Pictures will be releasing the film, which has been banned in my old stomping ground, the UK, and they have just released the first teaser poster. Entitled Breathe, as you can see above, it is sure to further stir the pot, and good luck to it!

International Poster Debuts for Oren Peli's Chernobyl Diaries

Oren Peli has become something of a phenomena thanks to the success of the Paranormal Activity movies. Next to hit the big screen, with Peli as producer and Bradley Parker directing, is the intriguing looking Chernobyl Diaries, which I am excited to see. Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros will be unleashing the film in the States on May 25th, and today saw the unveiling of the new international poster, which you can see above.

Carnage aplenty promised in Bunnyman 2

One pissed off bunny and a chainsaw. That's what you are going to get in the upcoming Bunnyman 2.Currently in post production, director and producer Carl Lindbergh hopes to have the film released later this year. Bunnyman 2 is, surprisingly enough, the follow-up to 2009's Bunnyman. I tell you what though, the trailer has plenty of claret and viscera on display and it looks like the film may well be a blast to watch. Check it out below bunny lovers!

Troma's Father's Day 3 Disc Blu Details

One of the most twisted movies I have seen in years is Troma's Father's Day, which isdirected by Astron-6, it's just bloody mental. On the 12th of June, which also happens to be Father's Day, Troma will be unleashing the 3 disc Blu-ray/DVD/Soundtrack release of this delight. You can check out my review of the movie here, or just keep on reading for more details.

Filthy Review - 11-11-11: The Prophecy

11-11-11: The Prophecy (2011)

Review by Jude Felton

The latest film from Darren Lynn Bousman to see a home release is a considerable departure, in a couple of areas, for the director. Bousman who has previously brought us the incredibly visceral films, Saw 2-4, Repo: The Genetic Opera and Mother’s Day, has taken a rather low-key approach to this film. For a start you may, or may not, notice that this is the first of his films to garner a PG-13 rating and it does not contain the graphic violence he is probably known for. Instead he has written, as well as directed, a film that goes for the chills rather than the bloody thrills. Is it a successful departure? All will be revealed, so to speak.

Filthy Review - Thou Shalt Not Kill...Except

Thou Shalt Not Kill…Except (1985)

Review by Jude Felton

As a teen horror fan growing up in the 80s there was always movies that I kept seeing mention of, yet never got a chance to see for whatever reason. Josh Becker’s Thou Shall Not Kill…Except was one such movie. The main reason being is that is stars Evil Dead director Sam Raimi, plus is has one of the coolest film names ever. Thou Shalt Not Kill; boring. Thou Shalt Not Kill…Except; super cool.

Filthy Review - Penumbra

Penumbra (2011)

Review by Jude Felton

Some movies definitely benefit from not knowing too much about them, before you watch them. For some reason many trailers and promotional pieces like to dissect the entire movie for you, making it easier to digest. Or is it a case of the film not being easy to categorize, therefore the need to reveal too much about the plot? Well, I never reveal too much, in fact I find writing about the plot to be tedious and a tad pointless. Sure, you’ll get the basic outline and a few bits and bobs, but I will not walk anyone through the film.
