Psychological horror flick 'Citadel' coming soon
Citadel, from director Ciaran Foy, is set to open in select theaters on November 9th. The film is about a young couple who are attacked by hooded thugs, and the tragic consequences. I'm definitely down to check this out. It seems that high-rise apartment buildings are quite the rage right now.
Filthy 80s Action Review - 'Escape from New York'

'The Collection' unveils new poster
LD have unveiled the new poster for The Collection, and it looks a little familiar to me. That is the point though, I am guessing, blending the masked imagery from the first film (The Collector) and tying it in with the first poster for The Collection. All being said, I like it!

On November 6th Well Go USA will be releasing the DVD of Supernatural Activity which, as you might have guessed, seems to be another parody of Paranormal Activity and The Blair witch project.

Filthy Music Review - 'Looper' Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Looper:
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (2012)
Review by Jude
Felton
The Rian
Johnson directed thriller, Looper, hits theaters later this week (September 28th).
The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis, and from what I have seen
of the previews it looks like it could be a cracking good yarn. Accompanying
the film’s theatrical release is the Soundtrack which was composed by Nathan
Johnson, so I thought I would give that the once over. Actually, more than the
once over as it’s been on loop (sorry!) on my iPod recently.
Q&A with The Victim's Michael Biehn and Jennifer Blanc
The Victim, directed by Michael Biehn and starring Jennifer Blanc, Danielle Harris and Biehn himself, has just hit UK stores, as well as being currently available in the US, on both Blu-ray and DVD. So, I am very happy to say that both Michael and Jennifer took some time out to answer a few questions I shot their way.

'Men Behaving Badly 20th Anniversary: The Complete Collection' coming to UK DVD

Now, to celebrate the 20 anniversary of the show, Freemantle Media Enterprises will be releasing an 8 disc collection on October 29th, which will feature over 20 hours of the show; every last episode!
Filthy Review - 'The Tall Man'
The Tall Man (2012)
Review by Jude Felton
In 2008 director Pascal Laugier unleashed the devastating Martyrs on an unsuspecting public. This was one film that once you have watched you won’t soon forget; it’s brutal and heartbreaking, and quite excellent. Now, four years on and he is back with his English language debut, The Tall Man, which might not pack the same visceral punch as its predecessor, but it is still no less powerful in its own right.
'Some Guy Who Kills People' UK release date changed
Great news for genre fans in the UK, and that is that the quite wonderful Some Guys Who Kills People, which is directed by Jack Perez, will be hitting theaters on October 5th. It will then hit Blu-ray, DVD, Download and VOD on the new date of October 15th. Rocking good news!

Filthy Review - 'Resident Evil: Damnation'
Resident
Evil: Damnation (2012)
Review by Jude
Felton
When it comes
to the Resident Evil franchise, there are two very distinct sides. On the one
side you have the live-action movies, which star Milla Jovovich. They are fun
for what they are, but to me they aren’t really in the Resident Evil world.
Then, on the other side, there are the original games, with masters of
unlocking, abandoned police stations and crazy ass moon-walking (yeah, I had
too much free time). The games rocked, at least until Resident Evil 4, which is
the last one I played through. For me though it was the first two games, and in
particular RE2. This was the game that introduced us to Leon S. Kennedy and Ada
Wong, both of whom would return in later games and movies.
Filthy Review - 'Strippers vs. Werewolves'
Strippers vs.
Werewolves (2012)
Review by Jude
Felton
With a title
such as Strippers vs. Werewolves you will certainly hope to get a little bit of
both. Hell, we had Zombie Strippers a few years back, which starred Robert
Englund who pops up here for one scene, so why the hell not have them fighting
werewolves? It could work, right? Well, director Jonathan Glendening makes a
good fist of it, even if the film doesn’t fire with both barrels of its silver
bullet-loaded shotgun.
