With a title like Nightmare on 34th Street, I was initially hoping for a horror take on the classic Christmas story Miracle on 34th Street but I soon realised this wasn’t the case as this started shaping up as a horror anthology. But that’s okay. A horror anthology with some loose connections on that story could be pretty good too. But this wasn’t the case either. They’ve just chucked that kind of Christmas-sounding title on this Christmas horror anthology.

After the initial disappointment, I was ready to enjoy the movie though. Horror anthologies are a subgenre I generally enjoy but Nightmare on 34th Street is, at best, a mixed bag.

Initially, what turned out to be my favourite segment I didn’t actually like at first because...

Partially funded by an IndieGogo campaign, writer/director/producer James Crow’s holiday horror anthology film Nightmare on 34th Street – which has been described as a cross between Pulp Fiction and Tales from the Crypt – is now set to make its way out into the world and will be receiving a digital release tomorrow courtesy of Wild Eye Releasing. In anticipation of that release, a trailer for the film has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Nightmare on 34th Street has the following synopsis: A mysterious and psychopathic Santa visits a small, rural town with a bag full of unusual gifts and twisted holiday stories featuring Krampus, a murderous St. Nick and killer carol singers that are certain to ruin the Christmas season forever.

The film sports a cast of 90, including Lucy Pinder (Strippers vs. Werewolves), Caroline Boulton (Infinity Pool), Dani Thompson (Powertool Cheerleaders vs. the...

Producer Jonathan Sothcott talks about running an independent film company in the UK, finding the right project and a post-Brexit industry.

Jonathan Sothcott has had a hand in producing a whole lot of independent films here in the UK over the last decade. You may have even seen a fair few of them yourself, especially if you’re a Danny Dyer completest.

He’s the man behind Hereford Films, the production and financing company he runs with partner Damien Morley. If that name rings a bell, it might well be because Morley owns a modelling agency that takes care of most of the Page 3 girls, and the entrepreneur has even recently launched a bid to buy the Page 3 brand off The Sun himself.

Three overage scouts are pitted against zombies in this hackneyed horror spoof

Closer in tone to the cheap thrills of Strippers vs Werewolves than the superior laughs of Shaun of the Dead, this empty-headed derivative splatter spoof pits three overage boy scouts against an undead outbreak with results more suited to the sofa than the cinema seat. The gags are hoary (gropey male virgins, rotting female lap dancers, Re-Animator-style cunnilingus), the gore plentiful but unoriginal (Braindead did the tooled-up set piece better way back in the 90s), the scares nonexistent (The Evil Dead this ain’t). Putrefied audiences may get a few yucks from the crass schoolboy blend of tits and offal, but connoisseurs will opt for the much funnier Cockneys vs Zombies.

Englund's iconic Krueger.

Freddy Krueger himself - or at least the man who played him, Robert Englund - is to make a special appearance at this year's Film4 Frightfest, it was announced today. Besides A Nightmare On Elm Street, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, the 67 year old actor has also starred in genre hits from V to Strippers Vs Werewolves, as well as playing a memorable Phantom of the Opera. “Englund is one of the genre’s originals and we are thrilled to host such an icon of fright,” said festival co-director Alan Jones.

Also big news for fans is a scheduled appearance by legendary author and noted recluse Alan Moore, creator of the original comics behind From Hell, V For Vendetta and Watchmen. Moore will introduce his new short film triptych Show Pieces along with its director, Mitch Jenkins.

Other stars joining the line-up are horror's latest.

There's long been a hidden link between Hollyoaks and horror. Here are 10 actors who've made the jump from soap to gore...

Nb: This article contains spoilers.

There’s a moment in one of comedian Simon Amstell’s stand up shows where he recounts a conversation he once had with the executive producer of Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks. Trading on the commonly held opinion that Hollyoaks is “rubbish”, Amstell enquired as to why the producer didn’t try to make it better. The answer came that they did make it better, but people stopped watching.

Even by the not-so-great standards that soaps are measured, Hollyoaks has always been firmly towards the bottom of the ladder. The fictional Chester suburb where the majority of inhabitants are extraordinarily good looking but also extraordinarily stupid has been identified by its often wildly outlandish storylines and impossibly pretty people.

Martin and Gary are back, in Danny Dyer gangster movie Assassin

• Martin and Gary Kemp: 'We complement each other'

The good news: Martin and Gary Kemp are to be reunited on the big screen for the first time since their critically-acclaimed performances in 1991's The Krays. The less good: the former members of 80s new romantic act Spandau Ballet are set to appear in a Danny Dyer gangster movie.

Titled Assassin, the new film has Jk Amalou on board as writer-director. The Kemps will play London gangsters the Albert brothers, with Dyer himself set for the lead as a professional contract killer who discovers his latest target is the estranged father of the woman he loves.

Producer Jonathan Sothcott, whose credits include infamous 2012 low budget turkey Strippers vs Werewolves (which took just £38 in its first week at the UK box office) is working with Dyer on a number of new films.

When I received my review copy of Strippers Vs Werewolves, I have to admit, I thought I was going to have keep it hidden and watch it late at night with the door closed. Completely judging it by its title and box art, I thought I was in for a night of cheap exploitative T n' A that I better keep to myself. You know, the kind of film that I would never intentionally choose to watch.

Yea, right. Who am I kidding?

Turns out, the letcherous qualities of Jonathan Glendening's Strippers Vs Werewolves ends at the premise. The rest is good clean fun, within reason. What we get is a London based (ie. thick thick accents) comedy where a pact of out of shape werewolves (meaning no six pack abs on display here) are at odds with a troupe of exotic dancers...

Damsels In Distress (12A)

(Whit Stillman, 2011, Us) Greta Gerwig, Analeigh Tipton, Adam Brody, Ryan Metcalf, Megalyn Echikunwoke. 99 mins

Stillman casts a wry eye across the college campus, and settles on Gerwig's clique of preppy girls who confuse charity with condescension. The result is distinctively articulate, witty, gently surreal and hilariously sarcastic. But as well as parodying these misguided teens, Stillman clearly has great sympathy for them. It's good to have him back.

Avengers Assemble (12A)

Considering the lack of leeway Whedon had with this superhero juggernaut, he pulls off a remarkable feat, keeping all the plates spinning with as much irony as he can get away with. It descends into a numbing effects orgy, but it's fast and fun along the way.

Director Jonathan Glendening of 13Hrs werewolf notoriety doesn’t move that far away from his furry feral fiends in his latest grizzly flick, Strippers Vs Werewolves.

This exceptionally daft, tongue-in-cheek pastiche of the erotic slasher B-movie also taps into the comic-book filmmaking fascination of recent years with deviant glee, but all with the sole purpose of entertaining in the most blood spewing and badly acted way. And for those who never tire of Robert ‘Freddy’ Englund cameos, there’s a treat for fans too.

From the Press Release

On the eve of the Berlin film market, prolific independent producer Jonathan Sothcott (Elfie Hopkins, Strippers Vs Werewolves) has announced ambitious plans for a post-apocalyptic, steampunk-styled adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic horror story The Mask of the Red Death, to be directed by acclaimed British filmmaker Robert Pratten (Mindflesh, London Voodoo).

“London, 2020. As the radioactive clouds begin to fade after a devastating nuclear war, the last dregs of humanity fight to survive – drought and famine cripple this cracked, broken world. Electricity is a thing of the past. Hideous mutants stalk the night, desperately searching for food and warmth. A cold planet. A dying planet. Superstition is rife. Evil rises. Through the husk of the once...

We’ve just been sent the first press release, poster and synopsis for Jonathan Sothcott’s new movie, The Mask of Red Death which is an adaption of the Edgar Allan Poe short story, The Masque of the Red Death published in 1842.

The movie adaption has been undertaken before with the most prominent version being the 1964 version but Roger Corman starring Vincent Price and Hazel Court. This new $1.5m version is due for release in 2013 with Sothcott (Elfie Hopkins, Strippers Vs Werewolves) producing and British film maker Robert Pratten (Mindflesh, London Voodoo) helming the movie as Director. The press release informs us that the movie will be a a post-apocalyptic, steampunk-styled adaptation of the classic horror story.

The marketing for this is going to take a rather new form of ‘transmedia’ and will be be integrated with a new technology called Conducttr which allows audiences to take a participatory role in the storyworld.

The UK's Jonathan Sothcott is one of those filmmakers who we swear does not sleep. Every time we turn around the man is working on something else, and now instead of just making movies, he's busy importing them across the pond!

Prolific UK horror producer Jonathan Sothcott (Strippers Vs Werewolves, Elfie Hopkins) is bringing some very different genre films to the British home entertainment market in 2012 through his ‘Jonathan Sothcott Presents’ imprint with leading indie distributor 4Digital Media.

First up, and in keeping with the spirit of Sothcott’s own instant camp classic Strippers Vs Werewolves is Two-headed Shark Attack starring uber-babes Carmen Electra and Brooke Hogan. Sothcott notes, “I love shark movies, Jaws is my favourite film, and I see every one that comes out. This one is destined to become a DVD favourite with its deliriously satisfying visual buffet of stunning babes, outrageous gore and a truly brilliant monster.

Filming has wrapped on the The Rise and Fall of A White Collar Hooligan, a "blisteringly violent" co-production of UK indies Black and Blue Films and Press On Features.

It's described as being in the tradition of The Football Factory, Green Street and Rise of The Footsoldier.

Two versions of the official poster are included here, along with the synopsis and cast information.

Written and directed by Paul Tanter (Jack Falls), the film features a top ensemble genre cast including Nick Nevern (Adulthood, Terry), Simon Phillips (Jack Falls), Roland Manookian (The Football Factory, The Business), Billy Murray (Essex Boys, Rise of the Footsoldier), Rebecca Ferdinando (Bonded By Blood), Charlie Bond (Strippers vs Werewolves) and Ricci Harnett (Rise of the Footsoldier).

We’ve been following the progress of Black & Blue Films’ latest horror flick, Strippers Vs Werewolves for quite some time now (in fact since last August), from the very first announcement to the awesome news that Robert Englund had joined the cast. Along the way we’ve had numerous pieces of art for the film, including this teaser which was released prior to filming commencing on the film last month.

Well now film is over and Black & Blue Films have unleashed this brand new poster on an unsuspecting British public. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, that’s Martin Kemp under the werewolf make-up!

Last month a first look teaser was revealed for new British horror comedy 'Strippers Vs Werewolves'. It wasn't all that, but hopefully today those ill feelings of disappointment will be healed slightly by the emergence of a new UK quad poster for the Jonathan Glendenning ('13hrs') helmed project. With a title such as that as well you should expect a nice selection of British babes which are handed to you on a plate. They include the likes of ex-soap star Adele Silva and former 'Hollyoaks' star Ali Bastian (featured being a bad-ass on the poster below in some sweet lingerie). Topless 'Hostel' hottie Barbara Nedeljakova also makes an appearance along with the ample breasted glamour model Lucy Pinder.

Jonathan Sothcott, who is producing the film, commented:

Genre mash ups are fun and ages old. Abbott and Costello met an abundance of ghouls, Old Mother Reilly ran into the likes of Count Dracula and once upon a time some chopper chicks rode into Zombietown.

Nope. She's playing a vampire bride, so you can stop those stripper jokes right now! The very lovely and beautiful Miss Pinder is clearly excited by the role, saying:

"I'm delighted to be making my feature film debut for Black & Blue Films in Strippers Vs Werewolves - it's a really funny part and a hilarious script and I can't wait to start.

Looks like Black and Blue Films is setting up quite the line-up of films. With Elfie delivering cannibals, the production company is also set to unleash werewolves on the public with Jonathan Glendenings Strippers Vs Werewolves. Barbara Nedeljakova and Adele Silva are among the cast for the film...

Jonathan Sothcott, the producer of both films, described the projects as "high-concept genre films." Werewolves and vampires seem to be the go-to ideas lately but with Strippers Vs Werewolves called a kick-ass revenge action comedy about a turf war that breaks out after a strip-club murder' it's probably safe to assume we won't be getting any sort of Twilight looking mayhem.

So you've got cannibals and Jaime Winstone in Elfie and, well, strippers and werewolves in Strippers Vs Werewolves! Someone give Black and Blue Films as much money as they need so they can continue offering up stuff like this.

Actress Sarah Douglas has joined the cast of Black and Blue Films’ latest production, Strippers Vs Werewolves. Best known for playing the evil Kryptonian Ursa in the first two Superman movies, the actress will play Jeanette, the owner of a strip club in the film which is being helmed by 13Hrs director Jonathan Glendenning.

Douglas joins cast that alreay includes Adele Silva (Emmerdale), Barbara Nedeljekova (Hostel) and Billy Murray (Dead Cert). Says Douglas of the role:

She’s a mother figure to her girls. An ex-stripper made good, she doesn’t have a lot of time for men and has no intention of seeing her girls devoured by werewolves.

Jonathan Sothcott, producer of Strippers Vs Werewolves, added:

There aren’t that many real genre icons, and even fewer who are top quality talents and we are absolutely thrilled that Sarah is on board.

Filming on the Black and Blue Films production starts on April 18th.

Producer Jonathan Sothcott officially announced to Dread Central that the search for the perfect director for their film Strippers Vs Werewolves is finally over. Jonathan Glendening (13 Hours) is the man in question and actress Barbara Nedeljakova (Hostel) will take on the lead role in the film. The screenplay for Strippers Vs Werewolves was written by Pat Higgins, (whom you will see in the video below discussing the penning the second draft Strippers Vs. Werewolves) and is an upcoming horror/comedy by Black & Blue Films.

Over at Dread Central, Strippers vs. Werewolves producer Jonathan Sothcott said that the film has a director and star. The director? Jonathan Glendening, who last directed 13 Hours. The star? Barbara Nedeljakova of Hostel and Hostel Part II fame.

Here’s what the producer said to DC: “We’ve been busy readying our kick-ass style comedy horror Strippers Vs Werewolves at Black and Blue Towers over Christmas“, says Sothcott. “One of the key steps forward was securing the right director, someone film literate enough to make the material work yet with a pedigree that distributors bought into. Step forward Jonathan Glendening, who directed last year’s uber-slick straight werewolf film 13 Hours. I saw that film at Frightfest because Gemma Atkinson, one of the stars is a pal, and I was really impressed – it was a truly excellent example of low budget film making, so I immediately set about meeting the director and Dop.
