Gareth Edwards' new film in the "Jurassic Park/World" series hasn't yet been given an official title, but — according to a report in Variety — may likely be called "Jurassic City." It will be the seventh film to be based on Michael Crichton's 1990 adventure novel.

The new film will be written by longtime blockbuster scribe David Koepp, and is being described as "a completely fresh take launching a new Jurassic era, following three adults and three teens getting stuck on the Island." The Island is presumably Isla Nublar, the fictional Costa Rican island where Steven Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" (1993) took place.

It may be generous to call the story "completely fresh," as "characters trapped on an island with dinosaurs" is also the plot of "Jurassic Park," "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," "Jurassic Park III," and "Jurassic World." Only "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" and "Jurassic World: Dominion" don't take place entirely on a remote,...

Ok, when you buy a film called Terror Birds you surely know what you getting… A film horror film about a group of people getting terrorised by one or more horrific killer birds. And that’s Exactly what you get! However if you’re a horror fan, and one that pays particular attention to cast and crew on Dtv titles, you’ll also be expecting something special given that Terror Birds comes from writer Jake Helgren – whose previous films Varsity Blood and Bloody Homecoming were both highly enjoyable modern takes on the classic slasher movie.

Maddy Stern’s father, a fanatical birdwatcher, goes missing during a routine birdwatching excursion, so she and her college pals...

Bird-watching isn't normally the most dangerous of activities, but when the birds in question are massive and carnivorous, things could get messy. That's exactly what happens in our exclusive clip from Mar Vista Entertainment's Terror Birds, arriving on VOD formats March 8. This scene shows that these ten-foot birds are not to be trifled with, as a group of college students try to escape with their lives.

While funding an archaeological site in the Caribbean, Harvey Sullivan (Greg Evigan) learns of a legend about monstrous birds living on two remote, uninhabited islands. Making the journey to investigate, he discovers a ten-foot bird on each island, birds that belong to the species titanis-large, flightless, carnivorous birds long thought to be extinct by nearly two million years and called Terror Birds. Capturing the birds, Harvey brings them to East Texas to a ranch that contains an aviary.

He hires paleontologist, Denise Slater (Leslie Easterbrook), to research the birds.

We have six long months to wait until Jurassic World hits theaters. If you're needing a dinosaur fix before that, the Vertical Entertainment knockoff Jurassic City has arrived to fill the void. It features plenty of giant reptiles stomping all over Los Angeles, something we won't see in Jurassic World. And it will be released as soon as February 3rd, arriving as an early Valentine to all you Mockbuster-loving schlock enthusists.

When a top-secret laboratory is unexpectedly breached, thousands of rampaging raptors are unleashed on Los Angeles! A black-ops unit is mobilized to contain the creatures before they cause city-wide chaos. Simultaneously, a truckload of raptors is rerouted to a nearby prison. Upon their escape, these ferocious flesh-eaters are beyond containment. This is Jurassic judgment night for smoking hot sorority girls, sinister scientists, muscle-bound military and doomed death-row inmates! It's about to get bloody in Jurassic City!

Quite a few...

Filmmaker Sean Cain gave us the lowdown on his “dinosaurs run amok” flick Jurassic City (formerly Jurassic Block), which releases February 3rd on DVD via Vertical Entertainment, and we’ve got some exclusive images for you along with a poster and… Continue Reading →

The post Exclusive: Jurassic City Gets a Trailer, Poster, and Release Date; Director Sean Cain Talks! appeared first on Dread Central.

Throughout the month of December, we will be highlighting a film a day that has some tie into the holiday somehow. Some titles will be obvious, others won’t be. Some films will be good and, again, others won’t be. However, we think all titles are worth your time whether to give you chills inside your home or to make you drink more eggnog until you puke laughing.

Ten shopping days before Christmas, and people are being attacked by zombies, but we better not use the zed word because no one else does. Two cops roll up on some deadheads and one tries to gnaw on Jackson’s (Andy Hopper) foot. Thankfully his partner Frank Talbot (Jack Forcinito, not Lon Chaney) shoots his toe off and kills the zombie. Hustle back to Jackson’s second floor apartment and Frank’s wife, Sarah (Nadine Stenovitch) is there fighting off more zombies.

Slate also includes bullying drama White Rabbit.

Automatic Entertainment is introducing buyers to Jurassic City [pictured] at Filmart.

Written and directed by Sean Cain, the film centres on a black-ops unit who attempt to subdue thousands of raptors after a top-secret laboratory is breached. It stars newcomers Dana Melanie, Kayla Carlyle and Sofia Mattsson, alongside genre actors Ray Wise and Vernon Wells.

Also on Automatic’s slate is Tim McCann’s White Rabbit, starring True Blood’s Sam Trammell, Britt Robertson, Nick Krause and Ryan Lee. The intense drama follows a bullied high school student’s descent into violence.

2013 SXSW title Holy Ghost People, American Muscle and Ninja Apocalypse round off Automatic’s slate.

With filmmaker Sean Cain having recently wrapped his "sorority girls vs. dinosaurs" flick Jurassic Block, we sat down to chat with the affable writer and director regarding the project. Read on for more, including several stills and a look behind the scenes!

Written and directed by Cain (whose previous genre features include Silent Night, Zombie Night and Breath of Hate), Jurassic Block is produced by Anthony Fankhuaser and J.J. Kim, with FX by Joseph Lawson. It stars Ray Wise (Jeepers Creepers 2), Kevin Gage (Heat), Robert Lasardo (Death Race), Vernon Wells (The Road Warrior), Dana Melanie, Kayla Carlyle, Jack Forcinito (Silent Night, Zombie Night), Sofia Mattsson, Monique Parent, Timothy Muskatell, Vanessa Johnston and Bill Millsap (“Hatfields & McCoys”).

“Originally it was a much different concept,” Cain told us of the beginnings of Jurassic Block. “I had pitched the producers initially with my idea of basically combining [the premises of] Attack the Block with The Raid Redemption.

The 2nd annual PollyGrind assaults Las Vegas during an epic length film festival that runs Oct. 8-17 at Theatre 7 with enough sleaze and violence to make Sin City residents feel right at home.

Actually, the fest does open up on the 7th with a concert at Neon Venus with local acts like Monster Zero, Creepersin and many more.

However, the film portion of the fest opens on the 8th with Stuart Simpson‘s acclaimed Australian gorefest El Monstro Del Mar!, one of the best Russ Meyer/Roger Corman mash-ups with a Down Under twist. Read the Bad Lit: The Journal of Underground Film review of this gem here.

Other Bad Lit favorites in the lineup are Drew Bolduc and Dan Nelson‘s The Taint, which is still completely grossing out audiences on the festival circuit, and The Uh-Oh Show, the splatter-filled horror comedy by the Godfather of Gore himself Herschell Gordon Lewis.

‘Twas The Night Before Christmas: 2-Disc Deluxe Edition (1974)

Synopsis: For some unexplained reason, letters to Santa Claus are being returned to the children of Junctionville. It seems some resident has angered St. Nick by calling him “a fraudulent myth!” Skeptical Albert Mouse has to be brought to his senses “and let up a little on the wonder why.” How Albert is persuaded to change his tune paves the way for Santa’s jolly return to town – and the joyous finale of the animated fable inspired by Clement Moore’s poem and produced by the merrymaking conjures of Rankin/bass studios. The voice talents of Joel grey, Tammy Grimes, John McGiver and George Gobel make this festive fable even more fun. (highdefdigest.com)

While putting together our Indie Horror Month coverage, we decided to reach out to some of our favorite independent filmmakers working today to hear from them on what some of their favorite independent genre flicks are.

One of the first we spoke with is writer/director/producer Sean Cain. Cain hit the scene in 2006 with his feature film debut Naked Beneath the Water and since then has gone on to direct Silent Night, Zombie Night and the upcoming Breath of Hate (which is currently in post-production) as well as producing other gritty genre flicks including Someone’s Knocking on the Door and Warning!!! Pedophile Released.

Here’s some of Cain’s favorite indie genre flicks:

1. Shatter Dead

As a fledgling filmmaker, this zombie opus was a tremendous influence on me…twice. The first time was in 1995, having finished my first film, Naked Beneath the Water, I followed Scooter McCrae’s...

Dread Central got exclusive word from director Sean Cain that the website for the upcoming horror flick Breath of Hate has been completely revamped with all sorts of goodies today.

Included you'll find tons of new images, video, easter eggs and more!

Written and produced by Wes Laurie, Breath of Hate stars Ezra Buzzington, Jason Mewes, Lauren Walsh, Jack Forcinito, Monique Parent, Ricardo Gray, and Timothy Muskatell. The story centers around Love (Walsh), a hooker who wants to leave the business because she's fallen in love with Ned (Mewes). When Love tells her pimp Sonny (Forcinito) that she's leaving the business to follow her heart, he forces her to go on one last job before she's "out."

While on the last job, Love has the misfortune of crossing paths with the wrong group - headed up by the maniacal Hate (Buzzington). Now it's up to Ned to find Love before it's too late.

With director Sean Cain busy putting the finishing touches on Breath of Hate, he also checked in with Dread Central to give us an exclusive look at the brand new poster for the flick, designed by Jason Beam.

When asked about the current production status on the project, Cain said “We are about to sign a few amazing artists to have songs in Breath of Hate, and then we just have to finish up the 5.1 mix. All of this should be finished by the end of this month so our rep has been busy working on securing distribution for the film in the meantime. We’re aiming for a limited theatrical release as well.”

I just finished screening this movie entitled Silent Night, Zombie Night from director Sean Cain. The film co-starred legendary scream queen diva Felissa Rose along with Jack Forcinito, Andy Hopper, Nadine Stenovitch, Lew Temple, Vernon Wells, Sara Tomko, Luke Y. Thompson, Ricardo Gray, John Karyus, Domiziano Arcangeli and Tim Muskatell.

On the brink of breaking up with both his wife and partner, L.A.P.D. officer Frank Talbot finds himself trapped in a apartment with them. As death closes in, they try not only to survive, but work around the fact both men love the same woman. One thing kept popping up in my mind as I watched the film, the three leads of this film definitely have the presence, the charisma, the acting chops,...

On October 2nd the third annual GoreZone International Film Festival got under way at Leicester Square’s Prince Charles Cinema; and for the first time ever, Dread was on the scene to check it out. Our report follows along with condensed reviews of six of the films shown over the weekend.

Blood Night: The Legend of Mary Hatchet, Breath of Hate, Hyenas, Cyrus: Mind of a Serial Killer, New Terminal Hotel, Darfur, and Devil's Playground are all included, but first a recap of the event and awards show.

In the face of fellow Leicester Square-based festival and horror heavy hitter, Film4 Frightfest, GoreZone (or Gz, as the magazine has rebranded) would appear to be the underdog. Having experienced the festival first-hand, however, it’s pleasing to discover a level of intimacy and audience connection that is easily lost amongst the hustle and bustle of many larger profile fests, bolstered by...

For the second time in as many months, London’s Leicester Square is the place to be for UK horror fans as the GoreZone International Film Festival returns to the Prince Charles Cinema on October 2nd and 3rd.

Ezra Buzzington, you may remember him from a handful of movies- Ghost World, Mirrors, The Hills Have Eyes, or Art School Confidential. Lately, however, Ezra Buzzington has been leaving his mark on the indie horror world starring in the drug and rape fueled Someone's Knocking At The Door and the thought provoking Breath of Hate.

I had the chance to ask him a few questions about these projects. Here's what he had to say.

For those unfamiliar with you, who is Ezra Buzzington?

I've been called the Dennis Hopper of underground films. But actually, I'd probably take roles he would shy away from. I'm that guy walking behind you who's going to either fuck you, kill you or make you laugh. Depending on what you least expect. My first film was Fight Club with David Fincher directing. Since then I've...

There are so many low budget zombie movies out there. A lot of them are terrible, but some of them succeed despite their low production value because they compensate with a clever script or great characters. When you’re a fan of zombie film, you have to accept that you are going to have to weed through a lot of crap in order to find a true gem. I wouldn’t go so far as to call Silent Night, Zombie Night a gem, but it’s not half bad either.

Silent Night, Zombie Night is a decent movie for two reasons. First of all, the main character is a total asshole. Before the zombie apocalypse, police officer Frank Talbot’s wife was going to leave him and his best friend/partner was going to drop him.

Breath of Hate is the latest film from the production companies ArsonCuff Entertainment and Velvet Hammer Films. Their previous work involved zombies taking over Christmas in Silent Night, Zombie Night, which was reviewed (here). Their latest film involves the prostitute know as Love (Lauren Walsh) attempting to get out of the biz'. Yet, Hate (Ezra Buzzington) wants to draw her back in. An early trailer is below and this co-created production also stars Jason Mewes (Clerks), Jack Forcinito, Timothy Muskatell (Someone's Knocking at the Door), Felissa Rose, and Alexi Zibolis (Plaguers). There is no word yet on the film's release, but lots more info' on this westcoast shot film is below.

The synopsis for Breath of Hate here:

"One last job and Love is out of the erotic escort business. Unfortunately, that final job is with a trio of escaped mental patients, who are looking to change the world one...

Finally, after months of talking about it, the trailer debut for Sean Cain's latest film, Breath of Hate, is upon us; and we have to admit star Ezra Buzzington appears to be gloriously psychotic!

Written and produced by Wes Laurie, Breath of Hate also stars Jason Mewes, Lauren Walsh, Jack Forcinito, Felissa Rose, and Timothy Muskatell. The story centers around Love (Walsh), a hooker who wants to leave the business because she's fallen in love with Ned (Mewes). When Love tells her pimp Sonny (Forcinito) that she's leaving the business to follow her heart, he forces her to go on one last job before she's "out."

While on the last job, Love has the misfortune of crossing paths with the wrong group- headed up by the maniacal Hate (Buzzington). Now it's up to Ned to find Love before it's too late.

Look for distribution and release news soon.

The official trailer is here for Breath of Hate , the latest indie horror pic from Velvet Hammer Films and ArsonCuff Entertainment, Breath of Hate starring Jason Mewes and Ezra Buzzington. Directed by Sean Cain ( Silent Night, Zombie Night ) and written by Wes Laurie, Breath of Hate centers around a young woman in the escort business who, on her last job, is confronted by a trio of escaped mental patients looking to change the world - one victim at a time.

One actor who we love around these parts is Ezra Buzzington. Recently seen in Chad Ferrin's Someone's Knocking at the Door and soon to be seen in Sean Cain's Breath of Hate, the guy knows how to stay busy and keep the gore flowing. We just got word that one of his next films will be of the living dead variety! Oh happy day! Get ready, zombie fans, to be Dug Up!

Dug Up, directed by Dustin Rikert and written by Rikert and William Shockley, is a horror/comedy zombie mashup that features Buzzington playing a mysterious wild card character who will be featured heavily in the sequel already planned for shooting later in the year.

“My head is in a mohawk right now for this part, says Buzzington of his role in the film. "I might keep it like this since everybody keeps hitting on me and offering me drugs.

One of the most insane directors working on the indie side of the genre nowadays is undoubtedly Chad Ferrin, and on June 5th those of you in and around the Burbank area will have a chance to meet the madman himself along with the stars of his two films Someone's Knocking at the Door and Easter Bunny, Kill! Kill! at a DVD signing to be held at Dark Delicacies.

The signing starts at 2:00 Pm, and guests include Chad Ferrin, Noah Segan, Ezra Buzzington, Elina Madison, Vernon Wells, Joe Pilato, Lew Temple, Sean Cain, and Timothy Muskatell. Below are the synopses of each film:

Someone's Knocking at the Door Synopsis

In this genre-defying grindhouse throwback, a group of drug-addled, sexually deviant medical students are systematically terrorized by Wilma and John Hopper. The Hoppers, serial murderers and rapists, mysteriously return from the 1970s and bring horrifying psychedelia with them. With comedy,...
