CHERNOBYL DIARIES, the chilling new film from writer/producer Oren Peli, opens today (see our interview with Peli here and here), and FANGORIA and Warner Bros. Canada have 50 run-of-engagement double passes to give away.

It was announced yesterday that a few more genre favorites have joined the soon-to-roll HATCHET III, and now comes word that a notable name from the wrestling world is taking part in the sequel as well.

Dante Tomaselli, creator of DESECRATION, HORROR and SATAN’S PLAYGROUND, is getting close to taking audiences into the TORTURE CHAMBER, and a trailer for his latest film has just hit the web to let you know what to expect.

As the controversial shocker THE BUNNY GAME hops closer to release, distributor Autonomy Pictures has released the second in a series of teaser posters, and also revealed when the movie will be available for home viewing.

For all those (like us) who have been eagerly awaiting a U.S. theatrical release for the latest film by MARTYRS writer/director Pascal Laugier, that time is coming in a few months.

See Elijah Wood, in all of his NSFW psychosexual Eurosleaze glory, in better quality!

It’s time to unleash your inner freak! The crew over at WellGo-USA just sent us several copies of MUTANT GIRLS SQUAD on Blu-ray/DVD combo, and we are all set to pass this bloody trip out to some of our freakiest fans!

With prominently advertised Oren Peli involved as a writer and producer, one might expect CHERNOBYL DIARIES to be a found-footage investigation-gone-wrong movie—PARANORMAL RADIOACTIVITY, if you will. Instead, it’s a largely conventionally shot film, with material to match.

As HATCHET III gears up to start shooting on locations near New Orleans later this month, more talent has been announced for the cast—including one that sets the movie up as a battle of the Jasons.

Filmmaker Christopher P. Garetano—director of HORROR BUSINESS and the short film COTTONMOUTH, and writer of the SOUTH TEXAS BLUES graphic novel currently being partially serialized in FANGORIA—will see the world premiere of his long-gestating sci-fi/horror film MONTAUK CHRONICLES in the eponymous New York town tomorrow night, Friday, May 25.

FANGORIA #315 doesn’t hit the shelves or arrive in your mailbox till next month, but we’ve got the first peek at the cover and the full contents to share with you now! It’s a jam-packed issue celebrating horror past and present, on the big screen and small.

The filmmaker, who made his debut with last year's incredible MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE is bringing the William Friedkin/William Peter Blatty classic to the small screen.

Continuing our discussion with PARANORMAL ACTIVITY director and CHERNOBYL DIARIES producer Oren Peli, begun here.

Beki Ingram says working in Robert Kurtzman’s shop prior to her stint on FACE OFF prepared her for dealing with the pressure cooker atmosphere of the reality TV competition.

In FRIGHT BYTES' latest episode, hosts Lianne Spiderbaby and Steve Mac (composer on the upcoming Henry Rollins film, IN THE HOUSE OF FLIES) share their love of Alfred Hitchcock with a tribute to both PSYCHO and DIAL M FOR MURDER, and a humorous and clever introduction where Lianne and Steve encounter Norman Bates himself on their way to the infamous Bates Motel.  What happens when they get there is absolutely ridiculous!

Developer and publisher Capcom knew what it needed to accomplish with DRAGON'S DOGMA. That is, they wanted this new title to be considered the best RPG around, either toppling THE ELDER SCROLLS: SKYRIM from its comfortable perch with a better overall game, or at least, offer something special which SKYRIM does not. DRAGON'S DOGMA manages to succeed (to a degree), and while most will still consider SKYRIM the king, its new aspects make this new arrival one of the best next gen console RPGs currently available.

We're still over a year out from Guillermo del Toro's return to the big screen. The below synopsis will make the wait that much harder.

THE GREY was a modest theatrical hit, despite a protractedly bleak tone and a plot that can reasonably be summarized as “men hopelessly fight nature.” It’s an odd beast, a movie (just out on DVD and Blu-ray from Universal) that struggles to explore the human condition between exciting-but-implausible action sequences; it’s not horror, but contains genuine scares, mostly due to a predatory wolf pack with a habit of leaping into frame unexpectedly.

As a man who is so claustrophobic I get panic attacks in a tight shirt, the idea of being trapped in a prison sounds like a living hell of a nightmare wrapped in a miserable experience. Now add a couple hundred remorseless psychopathic killers running about unrestrained, and you’ve got yourself a super-phobia. You also have the ground work for a great movie premise, and the plot behind ASYLUM BLACKOUT (now available on VOD via IFC Films).
