Co-written by Sadie Katz and directed by Jim Towns, ‘The Beast Inside’ offers a unique twist on exorcism movies.

Known for her roles in ‘Wrong Turn 6: The Last Resort’ and the ‘Blood Feast’ remake, Katz not only stars in the film but also takes on the challenge of producing it.

Her company, See You Next Tuesday Films, aims to highlight strong female characters in horror.

The film introduces us to Anne, a mother possessed by a demonic force. Facing disbelief from those around her, Anne decides to perform an exorcism on herself.

Her fight to save her son and herself from an evil presence is at the heart of this gripping story.

Katz’s personal fears of passing addiction or mental illness to her own son inspired this narrative, blending personal struggle with supernatural horror.

Katz’s efforts in independent cinema highlight a crucial avenue for female actors to...

Action cinema fans, we have your first look at cult icon Vernon Wells in Michael Matteo Rossi's indie action flick, The Charisma Killers, with a trailer exclusive and acquistion announcement.    When the old mentor of seven killers finds out he has terminal cancer, he gives them all an opportunity at his fortune to prove themselves for one night only to exact revenge.   The fine folks at DeskPop Entertainment have acquired the action pic and plan on releasing it on VOD on November 1st. You may recall that DeskPop first made a name for themselves when they distributed the holiday horror indie The Mean One, a slasher take on the beloved Dr. Seuss tale, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.    As mentioned at the...

Director Michael Merino’s upcoming action-thriller “Clutch,” starring Sadie Katz (Wrong Turn 6), Kaiwi Lyman (Den of Thieves), Augie Duke (Mayans M.C.), Mike Ferguson (Showdown at the Grand), with Michael Pare’ (Streets of Fire) and Vernon Wells (Mad Max 2) has wrapped production and is headed into post.

“Clutch” was partially inspired by true events; writer-producer Michael Merino based the story on a real life car-jacking of a female rideshare-driver who was taken hostage by a criminal on the run from his less-than-law-abiding accomplices, who were involved in a deleterious enterprise that was never solved.

According to the official logline, “Clutch” follows the story of Tonya (Sadie Katz), whose life is in a bit of a shambles and works as a share-driver to make ends-meet, and is under the thumb of her sugar daddy (Michael Pare’). One evening while working Tonya is car-jacked and finds herself in the dark underbelly of the city’s mob.

Vernon Wells encounters horror from the heavens in the forthcoming sequel to Apex Predators. Also starring Christopher Showerman (Supergirl), Brinke Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre), Mel Novak (Game of Death), Dawna Lee Heising (Bad President) and Jennifer Nangle (Transmission), Apex Predators 2: The Spawning is the feverishly fun new horror film from the makers of Mega Ape and Space Sharks!

The action-packed follow up to director Dustin Ferguson’s direct to video cult hit has spawned more shark terror. And this time the sharks are in the air! These mutated, flying Sharks wreak havoc along a California beach during an annual Volleyball tournament. While local officials want to bury the danger and the bodies on shore, it’s up to a legendary shark hunter and his accomplice to knock the threat out of the air and back to the ocean floor forever.

Apex Predators 2: The Spawning will be available...

"Local experts believe it to be the work of a rogue shark." Wild Eye Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for another trashy B-movie shark horror comedy coming up this year - this one is called Apex Predators 2: The Spawning. Yes indeed, it's another direct-to-video sequel to the original direct-to-video bad spoof movie Apex Predators (from 2021). In this one, mutated flying Sharks wreak havoc along the beach during an annual volleyball tournament. Vernon Wells encounters horror from the heavens in the highly anticipated sequel to Apex Predators. Also starring Christopher Showerman, Brinke Stevens, Mel Novak, Dawna Lee Heising, and Jennifer Nangle. Ferguson's Apex Predators 2 is the "feverishly fun new horror film from the makers of Mega Ape and Space Sharks!" And it looks just as terrible as those ones, of course. You might just believe sharks really can fly after watching this movie.

The latest Wild Eye Releasing ‘killer shark’ movie “Apex Predators 2: The Spawning”, is directed by Dustin Ferguson, starring Vernon Wells, Chris Showerman, Brinke Stevens, Mel Novak and Dawna Lee Heising, available November 12, 2024 on VOD and DVD:

Mad Max franchise mastermind George Miller recently brought us a new addition to the series with the release of the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa (read our review Here) – and while that movie struggles to draw in viewers during its theatrical run, we have decided to take a look back at the first Mad Max sequel, the 1981 classic The Road Warrior (watch it Here). You can hear all about it in the embed above!

Directed by Miller from a screenplay he crafted with Terry Hayes and Brian Hannant, The Road Warrior – which is also known as Mad Max 2 outside of the United States – has the following synopsis: After avenging the death of his wife and young son at the hands of a vicious gang leader, Max drives the post-apocalyptic highways of the Australian outback, fending off attacks from nomadic tribes that prey on outsiders.

The Bloody Disgusting-powered Screambox is home to a variety of unique horror content, from originals and exclusives to cult classics and documentaries. With such a rapidly-growing library, there are many hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

Here are five recommendations you can stream on Screambox right now.

King of the Ants

While Stuart Gordon cemented himself as a master of horror with early works like Re-Animator and From Beyond, his later output is also worthy of exploration. 2003’s King of the Ants kicked off a trio of intense thrillers (alongside Edmond and Stuck) that would end up being Gordon’s final features. It was also one of the first productions from The Asylum, who would go on to create Sharknado, Z Nation, and Black Summer.

Based on the 1992 novel by Charlie Higson, who also wrote the screenplay, the film’s unusual structure makes it unpredictable. Struggling to make ends meet,...

George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa is revving its engine and heading into theaters on May 24, and you probably won’t be surprised to hear that The Asylum has got their own “mockbuster” take on the movie ready to go. The title? Road Wars: Max Fury.

What’s particularly interesting about Road Wars: Max Fury is that Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior star Vernon Wells stars in the film, a rare case where an actor from an original movie appears in the “mockbuster” take on that franchise. Watch the trailer down below.

Road Wars: Max Fury will be available digitally on May 10, 2024.

Here’s the synopsis: “In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, two sisters leave their stronghold to save their wounded mother. Armed only with a muscle car and limited ammo, they race against time and ruthless raiders to secure life-saving supplies from a distant outpost.”

The Alien Report: "The Alien Report follows "The Abductee" (Braxton Hale), an everyday American who finds himself hijacked by extraterrestrial beings and taken on a terrifying journey of self-preservation, running afoul of classic "grey aliens", disturbing human-et hybrids, and the U.S. government's shady Men in Black. Based on countless documented reports made by self-proclaimed abductees, The Alien Report is a meticulous, straight-faced look at what an real-life alien abduction would be like, from the perspective of first-person cameras.

The Alien Report has screened at festivals worldwide, winning awards in the U.S., UK, Australia, and Brazil. Shot on iPhone and GoPro cameras as a non-traditional narrative composed of re-assembled found footage, the picture plays out as both a sci-fi thriller and first-person documentary. It is the intended first chapter in a trilogy of films about extraterrestrial abductions.

The Alien Report was directed by Patrick Donnelly and produced by Kevin Schroeder and Michael Sell.

It’s April and we’re bringing even more fun to Screambox, with new films including Stuart Gordon’s King of the Ants, the Lebanese found-footage horror What Is Buried Must Remain, and bonkers B-movie Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies.

What Is Buried Must Remain haunts Screambox on April 12. A modern ghost story with ancient roots, the timely Lebanese found-footage hybrid finds young filmmakers confronted by supernatural forces engaged in a war for the very soul of the land.

Screambox goes to war with Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies on April 12. Indie horror staple Bill Oberst Jr. (3 From Hell) stars as the President who emancipated the slaves, saved the Union, and slaughtered the undead.

Rise of the Zombies also takes a bite out of Screambox on April 12. Its all-star cast includes Mariel Hemingway (Manhattan), Ethan Suplee (Mallrats), LeVar Burton (“Star Trek: The Next Generation”), Danny Trejo (From Dusk Till Dawn), and French Stewart...

Mark L. Lester's ultra-violent 1985 actioner "Commando" is entertainingly ridiculous and ridiculously entertaining. Few films of the era reflect on the ultra-violent military fantasies of Reagan's America better than "Commando," an irony to be sure, as it stars a massive Austrian actor. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a former Special Forces Colonel named John Matrix who is attempting to live a quiet life with his sweet daughter Jenny (Alyssa Milano). When Jenny is kidnapped by a vengeful villain played by Dan Hedaya, it gives John the moral license to murder about a thousand people in a violent quest to rescue her. John Matrix shoots, explodes, cuts, stabs, and buzzsaw-frisbees his way through Hedaya's minions without a scratch, a military superman with untouchable skill and an unslaked bloodlust. 

The violence in "Commando" is horrifying and spectacular. Looking over the film's parental advisory on IMDb may sell the film better than any conventional advertisement.

Overshadow, directed by Jimmy Drain is a Thriller / Reality Horror short film from ThunderKnight Entertainment Ltd.

Stars: Gigi Zumbado, Stephen Dorff, Emile Hirsch, Vernon Wells, Erika Ervin, Tanner Zagarino | Written by Christopher Jolley | Directed by Ryuhei Kitamura

The Price We Pay is directed by Ryuhei Kitamura, from a script written by Christopher Jolley, and stars Gigi Zumbado, Stephen Dorff, Emile Hirsch, Vernon Wells, Erika Ervin, and Tanner Zagarino; and follows a group of robbers and their hostage finding out that the farmhouse they’ve taken refuge in is far from the haven they thought it would be, forcing them to survive the owners’ onslaught…

Kitamura once again returns to the well of threadbare activities in secluded locations. This time, Jolley takes the helmer’s film to a farmhouse, and that’s right about where the plot developments end. It’s a simple and heavily disappointing choice to focus on nothing. After a prologue showing a prostitute being dumped at a quiet gas station and kidnapped by an as-of-yet-unseen figure,...

The plot may be predictable but for fans of the gory revenge genre, director Ryûhei Kitamura’s latest is a solid genre exercise

An intensively minced blend of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and an Abdominal Surgery for Beginners DVD, this is a solid genre exercise in gore and retribution. After an ominous abduction scene featuring nubile victim Carly (Sabina Mach), the film cuts to down-on-her-luck pawn-shop customer Grace (a very watchable Gigi Zumbado) trying with another trinket just as the place is being burgled by three armed robbers; these are former army medic Cody (Stephen Dorff), plus brothers Alex (Emile Hirsch) and Shane (Tanner Zagarino). A fourth man in the gang, the getaway driver, takes off in a panic and Grace is pressed into driving them away from the crime scene after Shane is shot in the leg.

Given they seem to be in the middle of the same American...

"They found something out there... something buried in the cold." Black Mandala has revealed a trailer for an indie horror film from Canada called Blood & Snow, the latest from genre filmmaker Jesse Palangio. That is a remarkably generic title for this horror film, which also just seems like a sort of remake/remix of The Thing, with a similar premise. Two scientists uncover a meteorite impact site in the Arctic tundra, but it kills one scientist and infects the other. A nearby base takes in the lone survivor whilst trying to understand what happened. The lone survivor may not be the person they think she is. Of course not, have they ever seen The Thing – any three of the movies? Blood & Snow stars Simon Phillips, Vernon Wells, Anne-Carolyne Binette, Blake Canning, Michael Swatton, & Brianna Ripley. It has played at a few genre fests already, starting at HorrorHound in Cincinnati, and...

Stars: Angela Cela, Charles Chudabala, Nicole Cinaglia , Sheri Davis, Marcella Di Pasquale, Jessica Cameron, Felissa Rose, Jennifer Nangle, Sadie Katz, Alan Maxson, Dave Sheridan, Vernon Wells, Noel Jason Scott, Maria Shapley | Written and Directed by Michael Hurst

Directed by Michael J. Hurst, who has vast genre experience – helming films such as House of the Dead 2, Pumpkinhead 4 and 2006’s Darkroom, as well as writing the demented Mansquito (aka Mosquito Man), and both of Scott Adkins’ Ninja movies (personal favourites of mine) – Transmission is a dark, twisted film that feels akin to Peter Hyams’s comedy Stay Tuned, which starred John Ritter and Pam Dawber as a couple trapped in an ever-changing TV or the comedy anthology Amazon Women on the Moon that flicked between 90s TV, poking fun at the tropes of that era.

The Story: In a dystopian, ultra-futuristic 2017 (!) the population is kept under control by a strict one child per couple rule. With abortion now illegal, parents who violate this rule are imprisoned for life, while their children become the property of the Men-Tel Corporation. Enter John (Christopher Lambert) and Karen (Loryn Locklin) Brennick, whose first child died and are now pregnant with their second. Caught at the border as they try to escape into Canada, the two are sent to an underground super-max prison run by the genetically altered Poe (Kurtwood Smith), who has designs on Karen, while John plots an escape.

The Players: Starring: Christopher Lambert, Loryn Locklin, Kurtwood Smith, Clifton Collins, Jr., Vernon Wells, Lincoln Kilpatrick, and Jeffrey Combs. Directed by Stuart Gordon.

Director Dillon Brown works as a Program Analyst for the Department of Defense and has joined forces with highly decorated former Green Beret, Michael Rock, to cast actual veterans, first responders and law enforcement in the film, as many use acting as a way to combat Ptsd.

Over the last couple decades, director Mike Hurst has brought us several genre films – House of the Dead 2, Room 6, The Darkroom, Pumpkinhead 4: Blood Feud, Paradox – and his latest is a self-financed labor of love he has been working on for the last four years. It’s called Transmission, and it has been officially accepted into the Pigeon Shrine FrightFest festival that’s set to be held in London from August 24th through 28th. In anticipation of Transmission‘s FrightFest screening, we’ve gotten our hands on the trailer for the film, and you can check it out in the embed above!

Here’s how Hurst described the film: “Basically the whole movie takes place on a TV screen as we channel-surf late at night, slowly realizing that the different stories on the different channels are actually all connected, all parts of the same horrific story…” As the viewer flips through the channels,...

If you don't know him by name, you almost certainly know Vernon Wells by his face if you're a fan of '80s movies. He was Bennett, the Aussie villain with the chainmail tank top and Freddie Mercury mustache in "Commando," and he scared the pants off kids as Mr. Igoe, the sinister hitman with an interchangeable hand in "Innerspace." Or you may remember him as Lord General, the crazed leader of a mutant biker gang that crashes the party in "Weird Science."

Wells' career as one of Hollywood's go-to bad guys at the time was made possible by his ferocious performance as Wez, the psychotic henchman in "The Road Warrior," George Miller's sequel to his low-budget smash, "Mad Max." This time around, a bigger budget enabled the director to go bigger, faster, wilder, and weirder than his original vision. This time, our hero Max Rocktansky is battling a...

Murder Syndicate opens with Isa driving her car and dealing with her three squabbling offspring, Cain, Becca and Jonah.

But this isn’t some suburban soccer mom taking her kids to school. She’s the head of a criminal syndicate and they’re professional assassins on the way to a job. A job that almost fails when Isa mysteriously collapses. Isa’s boyfriend Zane turns up in time to get them to safety but it’s obvious something is wrong. And that sign of weakness at the top sets a battle for control of the operation into motion.

The Price We Pay is a 2022 thriller movie with Stephen Dorff, Sabina Mach and Erika Ervin. It is directed by Ryûhei Kitamura and written by Christopher Jolley.

The Price We Pay is a movie that is a combination of horror and thriller. The cast should make it work, the idea is good too, the script… something else again. This is a movie that always resorts to simple easy things and finds shelter in clichés and exaggerations to offer us a movie that does not catch our attention because what it is after is precisely that and which it does excessively.

This is a B series movie with a Blockbusters spirit of those years and very little originality in some of its proposals. The Price We Pay starts in a gas station (ideal setting that is almost a genre in itself) and defines itself as a “dirty” horror movie,...

Genre fans will get their money’s worth from “The Price We Pay,” a violent and grisly crime-horror-action outing with no pretensions of being anything else. What this tale of crooks holed up at a lonely farm with a hideous secret lacks in originality it makes up for with energetic direction by Ryuhei Kitamura (“Midnight Meat Train”), excellent practical gore effects and strong performances by a quality cast including Emile Hirsch, Stephen Dorff and Gigi Zumbado. The kind of no-nonsense exploitation film that once had ’em hootin’ at the grindhouse, VOD-available “Price” will be released on limited screens by Lionsgate on Jan. 13.

This year is already off to an incredible start for the horror genre, with M3GAN scaring up big time profits in theaters and “The Last of Us” getting set to elevate horror television on HBO.

Much like last week, this second week of 2023 is similarly home to several exciting new horror releases, including the return of Kevin Williamson plus the arrival of a viral horror indie.

Not to mention, this Friday is the first Friday the 13th of 2023!

Here’s all the new horror releasing January 10 – January 13, 2023…

First up, from Ryûhei Kitamura, the director of Midnight Meat Train, comes Lionsgate’s The Price We Pay, which just debuted on VOD this Tuesday and comes to select theaters Friday.

Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Stephen Dorff (Blade) star in The Price We Pay, which looks like a genre fusion of an action-thriller and a slasher movie all in one crazy package.

End of Loyalty, the latest feature directed by Hiroshi Katagiri, a special effects and makeup expert whose long list of credits includes The Mandalorian, Captain Marvel, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Pacific Rim, The Hunger Games and James Cameron’s latest blockbuster, Avatar: The Way of Water, has been picked up by Uncork’d Entertainment for the U.S.

The shoot-’em-up stars genre icons Vernon Wells (Mad Max II : The Road Warrior) and Michael Pare (Streets of Fire), alongside Braxton Angle, Justice Joslin, Simon Phillips, Sho Ikushima and Tenley Kellogg, and follows a man seeking retribution after his father, the head of a notorious crime family, is killed by a rival. But as his grief turns into violence and destruction, his best friend, a federal agent, does everything he can to keep him from going off the deep end. Their friendship is tested as both men cling to their conflicting moral codes.

Tom Sizemore (Saving Private Ryan), Elissa Dowling (Girl on the Third Floor), Rachel Riley (Giantess Attack vs. Mecha Fembot), William McNamara (Copycat), Janet Wang (Arena Wars), Robert Lasardo (The Mule), Vernon Wells (Commando), Vincent M. Ward (The Walking Dead), Hans Hernke (Night of the Tommyknockers), and Mike Ferguson (Amityville Uprising) star in the upcoming horror film Amber Road, which is said to deliver so much gore that it’s being referred to as “splatter-core”. Coming to us from Koa Aloha Media, the film is currently streaming exclusively on AlohaStream and will be reaching DVD and Blu-ray on January 10th. (Pre-order a copy Here). A VOD release will follow on January 30th.

Made on a budget estimated to be around 60,000, Amber Road has “drawn comparisons to Saw, Terrifier, and Hostel for its up-close and personal horror.” It promises to deliver a complex story while also showing off plenty of close-up gore.

Every Friday, we’ll be taking a look at another genre movie you can watch in its entirety, free of charge, either on the YouTube channel linked above or in the video embed here.

Appropriate for the holiday season, the Fright Fright Nights feature we have for you this week is the horror anthology The Christmas Tapes – which was just given a digital release by Terror Films today, December 16th! We’re right there at the start for this one. The wraparound story in this anthology is set on the night of Christmas Eve and begins with a family opening their presents… but then...

"Let's see how deep this rabbit hole goes…" Lionsgate has revealed an official trailer for a grindhouse crime thriller titled The Price We Pay, a new film from Japanese genre director Ryûhei Kitamura (best known for Versus and The Midnight Meat Train). After playing at a few horror festivals earlier this year, the film will be out on VOD to watch in January if anyone is curious. After a pawn shop robbery goes askew, two criminals take refuge at a remote farmhouse to try to let the heat die down, but find something much more menacing. They discover a secret dungeon with sadistic violence—and when "Grandfather" comes home, all hell breaks loose. The film stars Stephen Dorff & Emile Hirsch, with Gigi Zumbado, Tyler Sanders, Erika Ervin, Jesse Kinser, Sabina Mach, Vernon Wells, and Tanner Zagarino. This seems like it borrows so many ideas from other, better horror films and mashes them into a forgettable,...

We’re just a few weeks away from having the chance to see a new horror film from director Ryûhei Kitamura, as Lionsgate will be giving Kitamura’s The Price We Pay a digital and VOD release on January 10th, as well as a limited theatrical release on January 13th. With those dates coming up fast, Lionsgate has unveiled a trailer for the film, which you can check out in the embed above.

Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild), Stephen Dorff (Blade), and Gigi Zumbado (Fantasy Island) star in The Price We Pay, and when we first heard about the movie last year it was said that Hirsch and Dorff would be playing two criminals who attempt to rob a local pawn shop. But the robbery goes askew, leaving them both injured and with a female hostage. On the run, they take refuge at a remote farmhouse to allow the heat to die down,...

Stars: Todd Lubitsch, Janice Angela Burt, Joshua Rose, Ruby Setnik, Greg Sestero, Caleb Lush, Louise Harding, Jason Kuykendall, Vernon Wells, Lori Richardson, Ian Hopps, Devin Valdez, Dave Sheridan | Written and Directed by Robert Livings, Randy Nundlall Jr

Surprisingly not titled A V/H/S Christmas, or as close to that as the lawyers would allow, The Christmas Tapes is an anthology film that reunites actor/producer Greg Sestero with Infrared’s writing/directing team Robert Livings and Randy Nundlall Jr.

The Christmas Tapes consists of four found footage segments and a wraparound in which a family, Bill, his wife Lisa and their kids Eli (Joshua Rose; Closure) and Rachel (Ruby Setnik; Sundays) have their Christmas Eve interpreted by a stranger (Greg Sestero). He holds them at gunpoint. Since Rachel is an aspiring filmmaker he has the perfect gift, four VHS tapes that should inspire her.

The first of these, “Travel...

From Ryûhei Kitamura, the director of Midnight Meat Train, comes Lionsgate’s The Price We Pay, and Bloody Disgusting is debuting the bloody disgusting Red Band trailer today.

Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Stephen Dorff (Blade) star in The Price We Pay, which looks like a genre fusion of an action-thriller and a slasher movie all in one crazy package.

The film is rated R for “strong horror violence, gore and pervasive language,” and some of that madness is on display in the official Red Band trailer that you can watch below!

“After an intense holdup at a pawnshop, Grace is taken hostage by the thieves. Forced to take refuge at a remote farmhouse late at night, they discover a secret dungeon with evidence of sadistic violence—and when “Grandfather” comes home, all hell breaks loose. Can Grace muster the courage to escape the gut-wrenching fates that befall her criminal companions?...
