The Dimeras give the Duggars a run for their money when it comes to the number of children in one family. With so many offspring stemming back to one man, it’s hard to remember just how many kids Stefano actually had. Andre, Benjy, Renee, Megan, Lexi, Ej, Chad, Stefan, and Jake are all his biological heirs, although the last two were not revealed until after his death. Additionally, the Phoenix had three adopted children, Tony, Kristen, and Peter, rounding out the dastardly clan to an even dirty dozen.

While Andre, Benjy, Renee, and Jake have all met their demise, the others continue to drift in and out of town, taking up varying residencies at the Dimera mansion, as they wreck havoc on the lives of the Hortons, Kirikakises, and Devereauxs. All except one. Where is Peter Blake?

Die’ced opens on Halloween 1987 when a couple of nurses realize they’ve released the wrong patient. This allows one of them to deliver a long monologue telling us all about Benjamin Newman. He’s been locked up for the past seventeen years after “he diced up his parents’ body parts and played with them like they were pieces in a board game”.

They come to the conclusion that the only thing to do is destroy all evidence he was ever a patient there. While they’re doing that, he’s killing someone and stealing their Halloween costume, their Walkman, and a complete set of knives. I wonder what he wanted those for.

Elsewhere, Cassandra and her brother Tommy are getting ready for a Halloween party. Tommy’s a little worried about their father, it...

A while back, we heard that writer/director Justin M. Seaman was plotting a sequel to his 1989-set slasher The Barn… and now we have the best possible sort of update to share: The Barn Part II is now available on Blu-ray and DVD! Copies can be purchased on Amazon, or you can get a signed limited edition version of the release from Scream Team.

In case you need a reminder, The Barn told the following story: Its Halloween 1989, best friends Sam and Josh are trying to enjoy what’s left of their final Devil’s Night before graduating high school. But trouble arises when the two pals and a group of friends take a detour on their way to a rock concert, finding an old abandoned barn and awakening the evil inside. Now it’s up to Sam and Josh to find a way to protect their friends and...

Director Jared Cohn has been carving something of a name for himself in the direct to DVD market for a good few years now, usually delivering fun low-budget genre films that at least have one great idea on which to hang the film. And Devil’s Revenge is no different.

The hook here? The absolutely Amazing creature designs by Vincent J. Guastini which, along with the brilliant flashbacks to a grim and grisly past, keep you watching way past the over indulgent, overwrought, dialogue-heavy first half. The brief glimpses of something greater giving the audience hope that the rest of the film will – eventually – follow suit. It doesn’t but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to enjoy about this Indiana Jones-esque horror tale.

No opportunity for deadweight exposition or cornball reversals goes unexplored as William Shatner attempts to destroy an ancient jinxed relic in this bizarre horror-thriller

William Shatner has banked a lot of goodwill down the years, but he may find himself in sudden arrears. His involvement presumably made this lamentable horror-thriller viable. The Tomb: Devil’s Revenge displays similar levels of coherency to his legendarily expansive acting style. Shatner plays Hayes, a hard-ass military patriarch ball-busting his archaeologist son, John (Jason Brooks), to track down and destroy an ancient relic that has landed the family with a curse “more powerful than anything anyone has ever encountered”. Don’t ask too many questions.

All hell is about to break loose as Shatner takes on Satan, when 4Digital unleashes The Tomb: Devil’s Revenge, on digital platforms and DVD from 14th September.

The Descent meets The Exorcist, with a dash of Raiders of the Lost Ark thrown in for good measure, in this suspenseful thrill-ride starring iconic Star Trek legend William Shatner, Jeri Ryan (Star Trek: Voyager), Jason Brooks, Jackie Dallas (Stranger Things) and Michael Yahn (Daredevil). Featuring, according to our review, “absolutely Amazing creature designs”, buckets of blood, and, of course, Shatner on top form, The Tomb: Devil’s Revenge is B-movie mayhem that delivers demonic thrills and underground chills.

The post New trailer + poster for Devil’S Revenge starring William Shatner appeared first on Hnn | Horrornews.net.

I’ve got a wild trailer here for you to watch for a supernatural horror action thriller called Devil’s Revenge. The film stars William Shatner, who was the original writer of the script, but the final script is credited to Maurice Hurley (Star Trek: The Next Generation).

The movie follows a down-on-his-luck archaeologist, played by Jason Brooks, who “returns from a cave expedition that contains a cursed relic that’s also a portal to Hell.” In the process he curses his family and the only way to stop the curse is to go back to the cave and destroy the relic.

So, Shatner, Jerry Ryan, and others join him on his journey and they end up battling some horrific demons from hell. This looks like a completely silly film, but it also could be fun to watch. Watch the trailer below and let us know if it’s something...

"I gotta get rid of this curse against our family, otherwise we're never going to be out of danger." An official trailer for an indie low budget horror tilted Devil's Revenge has debuted, which was (apparently) originally written by William Shatner. The final script is credited to Maurice Hurley. This is made by a director who has been making Asylum films for a while, and it definitely has that awful straight-to-bargain-bin look and feel. An archaeologist returns from a cave expedition that contains a cursed relic that's also a portal to Hell. He discovers that the only way to stop the curse on his family is to go back to the cave and destroy the relic. This has some crazy monsters in it, and lots of bad acting.

“We are the minority.”

To many, Japan is still a country of vast variety and diversity. Given the influx of popular culture, a Western view of Japan is at times influenced by mixture of cultural stereotypes and lack of knowledge. However, culture has always been a somewhat ambiguous key when it comes to give an image of the country itself, its politics and its society. Even today, from music to art and film, Japanese culture, even mainstream, gives a decidedly different image.

Of Love and Law is screening at Japan Cuts 2018

Nevertheless, looking at the facts and figures about the Japanese populace draws an interesting, quite telling picture. With 98,5 % of its population coming from Japanese descent, being an outsider in a society defined by largely conformist and conservative notions often equals loneliness, depression and in some cases, even suicide. According to reviewer Sarah ward “failing to adhere to the norm...

It probably wouldn't surprise you to hear The Asylum has a new nature gone amok flick titled Blood Lake: Attack of the Killer Lampreys starring Shannen Doherty and Christopher Lloyd premiering on TV this Memorial Day weekend.

What might surprise you is where you can see it. Not Syfy! These lampreys are prowling Animal Planet.

If Wil Wheaton and so many others got annoyed about the Discovery Channel airing a fake Megalodon documentary during Shark Week last year you have to wonder if they'll react negatively to Animal Planet suddenly getting in on the schlocky b-movie game with the producers of Sharknado. Maybe not, considering this tale of lethal lampreys on the attack is debuting as part of Animal Planet's third annual "Monster Week" (which really is a monster week given it lasts 9 days). According to the New York Post, this is the same offbeat week Animal Planet will...
