Animalistic comes from the directorial team of Sonny Laguna and Tommy Wirklund. A duo whose have decent form when it comes to genre filmmaking. Their previous film, Wither was a nod to the Evil Dead movies; and Laguna was also behind the Superb Swedish winter-set slasher film Blood Runs Cold, one of my favourite films of 2011 (was it really that long ago?). The pair were also in the directors chair for the recent Puppet Master reboot/redux, Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich – which is undoubtedly one of the reasons Wild Eye Releasing chose to distribute this particular movie right now… after all, this film, under the title We Are Monsters, originally debuted in 2015 across the rest of the world.

Animalistic tells the story of Emma,...

*here be some spoilers.

Director: Sonny Laguna.

Writers: Tommy Wiklund, and Sonny Laguna.

Tagline: "Hell just froze over."

It is amazing that so many first time directors start with horror. Perhaps it is the formula of this genre that draws so many here or maybe it is because there are so many fans of the genre out there. Sonny Laguna is the latest to test his mettle in horror with Blood Runs Cold and his efforts are only partially satisfying. Released on DVD in the United Kingdom last October, Blood Runs Cold is your typical slasher with lots of murder and sparse dialogue. A cold-blooded and nameless killer stalks several youth in an isolated cabin. There is no backstory for the killer and the ample blood effects try to distract you from the film's lack of complexity. Just grab an axe and keep chopping!

Really, the plot has been summed up above.

While we all wait patiently for Bloody Disgusting Selects to release the psycho looking slasher flick Blood Runs Cold here in the States, our friends across the pond are already getting the flick on DVD, and we've got the UK trailer and box art for you to dig on right here!

Look for Sonny Laguna's Blood Runs Cold, starring Ralf Beck, Hanna Oldenburg, Elin Hugoson, and Andreas Rylander, to hit UK DVD on October 3rd.

Despite its historically barren filmic landscape, especially when it comes to horror, Sweden is suddenly gaining a reputation for producing some of the coolest (pun intended) horror flicks of recent years – including the international mega-hit that was Let The Right One In. Since that films debut in 2008, Sweden has seen a boom in home-grown horror, most of which has sadly gone straight to VOD/DVD overseas. Now Swedish production company Stockholm Syndrome (very apt) unleash their latest opus Blood Runs Cold on an unsuspecting audience at this years London Film4 Frightfest, with a villain that can only be described as Chud meets Friday the 13th!

The films plot is relatively simple, and certainly nothing new. Singer/songwriter Winona (Oldenburg) decides she needs a...

Shock Till You Drop is debuting the first trailer for the Swedish slasher film Blood Runs Cold. The clip is very bloody and gruesome. The film follows a young song writer into a remote locale where "a terrifying secret awaits her." That secret looks six feet tall and armed with a large axe, as the trailer tells us. Have a watch as Winona (Hanna Oldenburg) does her best to stave off the inevitable.
