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. I actually caught the trailer the other day, and it did look amusing in a completely stupid kind of way. You can read more on this release, and watch the trailer, after the break.

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.

On November 5th (yep, bonfire night!) Alejandro Jodorowsky's trip of a movie, Santa Sangre, will be released on Blu-ray and 2 Disc DVD by Mr Bongo Films.

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

Damn! It's been 20 years already? Back when I lived in the UK, the comedy show Men Behaving Badly was without a doubt one of my favorite shows. Quite simply, it was funny as hell. 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.
