‘You are what you eat.’

K-Shop is a 2016 British horror film written and directed by Dan Pringle. The film was produced by Mem Ferda and Adam J Merrifield of White Lantern Film.

The film is being distributed by Bulldog Film Distributors and is set for a UK cinema release in July this year following a festival premiere at Scotland’s ‘Dead By Dawn’ in Edinburgh this April. Empress Road Pictures are handling international sales.

Producer Mem Ferda explains the premise: ‘It’s high time a socially relevant film like this was made highlighting the significant problems of drink culture that is prevalent amongst our ‘teen’ society today. I can best describe it as an intoxicating, super-slaughter, Sweeney Todd-esque ride that cleverly has a stab at British binge drinking. It will certainly have partygoers think twice about stopping off for a kebab on the way home.’

After his father is killed in an altercation with drunken thugs, Salah’s fate is sealed in a fight with an angry customer. With a dead body on his hands the novice kebab shop owner turns vigilante disposing of the body in the one place he knows best… the kebabs. Salah watches gullible customers devour the new flesh kebabs and seizes the opportunity to seek revenge on abusive drunken binge drinkers, killing off those he deems punishable…

Plot:

Claire and Ryan, a newlywed couple, move into a new house across the country, only to find out that their marital issues are the least of their problems. Unbeknownst to them, Their grim and lascivious landlord has been spying on them from day one…

Reviews:

” … an effective variation on stalker/home-invasion thriller themes. Somewhat compromised by a one-dimensional stereotype of a villain, Victor Zarcoff’s debut feature nonetheless ratchets up a fair amount of suspense and intrigue…” Dennis Harvey, Variety

“Rather than let things play out found-footage style, the film is a hybrid of secret camera close-ups and more traditional shots. That’s good for those sick of the Paranormal Activity franchise and its ilk, but it’s hard not to imagine how much scarier it would be if a few more of the film’s more climactic scenes were captured on the secret camcorders… Matthew Ritchie, Exclaim.ca

“When you consider that more of us are renting than ever before, the idea that the person you hand over your hard-earned cash to could be dangerous is an uncomfortable idea. Worse still, is the notion that someone is lurking around your personal sanctuary without your knowledge; it’s one of the worst violations imaginable.” Kat Hughes, The Hollywood News

‘Monsters come in many forms’

10 Cloverfield Lane is a 2016 American science fiction thriller film, directed by Dan Trachtenberg, in his directorial debut, from a screenplay by Josh Campbell, Matthew Stucken and Damien Chazelle. It stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman (C.H.U.D.; Arachnophobia; Monsters University) and John Gallagher, Jr.

cloverfield-2-d3677015-0976-4d29-8766-7601fe38c0de_1

The film was picked up from a script titled The Cellar, but during production under Bad Robot Productions, it was developed by J.J. Abrams as a spiritual successor of the 2008 film Cloverfield.

Plot:

Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) packs her things and leaves her apartment, angry over a dispute with her partner Ben (Bradley Cooper). While driving away she turns on the radio; it claims that there are numerous blackouts in major cities. Michelle becomes distracted after Ben calls her, and her car crashes and goes off the road from the distraction, flipping upside down.

When she awakens, she discovers she is chained to the wall in an unknown location. After reaching her phone only to receive no signal, a man named Howard (John Goodman) enters the room and tells her he saved her life and the world outside is now uninhabitable due to the nuclear or chemical fallout from “an attack.”…

Reviews:

“It is talky, psychological and consistently engrossing, but for a movie set way beneath the earth, it rarely scratches the surface and seems more content  to play with our expectations of the genre.” Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood

Cloverfield_Lane_16

” … a delightful ride, full of amusing scary bits and actors who are interesting to watch. Ultimately the biggest problem with 10 Cloverfield Lane was its sham of a marketing campaign.” Annalee Newitz, ars technica

“It would be unfair to say more, or to note exactly how 10 Cloverfield Lane connects with Cloverfield — a question that matters more from a branding perspective, anyway, than a dramatic one. By the end of this tense and unexpectedly human-scaled movie, all that high-concept disaster porn feels like even more of a distant memory.” Justin Chang, Variety

Main cast:

Kate Siegel, John Gallagher Jr. (10 Cloverfield Lane), Michael Trucco, Samantha Sloyan and Emma Graves.

hush-trailer-screencap

Plot:

After an accident robbed her of her hearing as a teenager, author Maddie Young began to lead a life of seclusion. As an adult she spends her time in an isolated cabin out in the woods, but Maddie soon realises she is no longer alone and is now being hunted by a masked killer…

Reviews:

“Flanagan directs it all like an old hand at the genre himself, on just his fourth feature. Working with cinematographer James Kniest and serving as his own editor, he frames and times the stalking and action for maximum impact, and while most of the terror is psychological, he doesn’t shy away from some painful-looking bloodshed when the scenes call for it.” Michael Gingold, Fangoria

“It’s no surprise that most of the action unfolds without dialogue, and that setup provides Flanagan an opportunity to play with sound in creative ways — dropping out audio entirely to put us into Maddie’s shoes, or delivering a sudden jolt when appropriate. Bursts of loud noise are a genre cliche, but rarely used as effectively, or purposefully, as they are here.” Geoff Berkshire, Variety

“The sound design also reminds us of what Maddie doesn’t have at her disposal, and how this can both a strength and a weakness. Sure, Flanagan could have easily filtered the entire film through her lack of hearing so that we could experience it firsthand. But the heightened audio is more complex in its final result.” Dan Caffrey, Consequence of Sound

‘From the creators of Evil Dead’

Don’t Breathe is a 2016 American home invasion horror film directed by Fede Alvarez from a screenplay co-written with his Evil Dead co-scripter Rodo Sayagues. It was produced by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert. J.R. Young, Nathan Kahane, Joe Drake and Erin Westerman executive produced.

Sony Screen Gems and Ghost House Pictures will release the film globally on August 26, 2016.

Main cast:

Jane Levy (Evil DeadSuburgatory), Dylan Minnette (Goosebumps), Daniel Zovatto and Stephen Lang.

Plot:

Detroit: Rocky (Jane Levy), Money (Daniel Zovatto) and Alex (Dylan Minnette) break into a blind Iraq War vet’s (Stephen Lang) home thinking they’ll get away with the perfect crime. They’re wrong…

Reviews:

“Alvarez and Sayagues don’t waste a single minute of screen time. The whole thing is an exercise in suspense that would make even Hitchcock proud. Equally impressive are the extra-long tracking shots employed throughout the film. There were multiple times where I would be watching things transpire on screen and think “Is this still the same shot?” It’s absolutely hypnotic.” Trace Thurman, Bloody Disgusting

“For adventurous horror fans, Don’t Breathe is required watching. Alvarez isn’t going anywhere. But like Evil Dead, it ultimately feels less than the sum of its parts – individual scenes are brilliant and one sequence involving a close encounter in a small car is grim slapstick at its best, but the film rarely rises above being just a fun ride.” Jacob Hall, /Film

“There’s some really inventive camerawork on display throughout the movie and the way that sound becomes so integral to the narrative is downright masterful. Unapologetically fierce, compelling and brutally tense, Don’t Breathe is an exemplary effort from Alvarez and all those involved with its production.” Heather Wixson, Daily Dead

“The film is disappointing because of its great possibilities. Alvarez’s Evil Dead left many wondering what this visually talented director would do next. Inconsistent and offensive, Don’t Breathe is not the follow-up many will have wanted. The man has talent, and still looks to have a hopeful future. But next time, please don’t send us to Detroit.” Marten Carlson, Consequence of Sound

” … the first two-thirds of Don’t Breathe are as solid a piece of thriller filmmaking as Hollywood has produced in a while. If it occasionally loses its way, that’s a necessary trade off and side-effect for the experimentation every genre needs and for that what problems it has can be forgiven.” Joshua Starnes, ComingSoon.net

“With this movie Alvarez shows there’s more to him than a good gorehound. He uses all the tools in a director’s toolbox to make something classy in its fucked-up-ness. The sound design is incredible, his use of extended silence make for ridiculously tense sequences. Production design is fantastic as well, the house being a character in and of itself. And his use of camera is restrained, but fun.” Eric Vespe, Ain’t It Cool News

” … the effects in Zoombies are expectedly bad, but the bigger problem is how rarely the film relishes in the silliness of it all.

Creepy – original title: クリーピー “Creepy: Fake Neighbour” – is a 2016 psychological thriller directed by Kurosawa Kiyoshi (Sweet HomePulseCure) from a screenplay co-written with Chihiro Ikeda, based on the 2012 novel of the same title by Yutaka Maekawa.

The film is due to be released in Japan on June 18th.

Creepy-Kiyoshi-Kurosawa-2016

Plot:

Criminal psychologist Takakura (Nishijima Hidetoshi) is investigating a family’s disappearance six years earlier. Meanwhile, Takakura and his wife Yasuko (Yûko Takeuchi) have moved into a new house next door to friendly neighbour Nishino (Teruyuki Kagawa), his sick wife (Misaki Saisho) and teenage daughter (Ryoko Fujino).

Creepy-2016-dinner
Things take a turn for the strange when the daughter, Mio, one day jumps into Takaura’s house and states that the man she is living with is not her father but a complete stranger…

Reviews:

” … the film becomes more obvious and less psychological as it goes on. Kurosawa is not a gore lover, and there is nothing to cringe over when things heat up. On the other hand, the last-reel revelations, awkwardly doled out as the victims multiply uncontrollably, are more repulsive than scary.” Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter

Creepy-2016

“The horror finally spills out around 90 minutes into the film, and it’s guaranteed to make the sight of any large plastic bag utterly cringe-worthy. Notwithstanding various improbabilities — like how easy it is to evade the police, who never think of calling for reinforcements — the film supplies a headlong rush of tension and cruelty all the way to a gratifying final payoff.” Maggie Lee, Variety

“When the film shifts into territory less Hitchcockian than Lynchian – with a touch of Park Chan-wook’s Asian Gothic – the quiet confidence of Kurosawa’s approach has paid off, allowing him to vault into this more intense register. It’s not all just ghoulish fun, though: there’s a serious subtext here involving everyday evil…” Jonathan Romney, Screen Daily

Death by Umbrella! The 100 Weirdest Horror Movie Weapons is a 2016 book by Christopher Lombardo and Jeff Kirschner published by BearManor Media.

Press release:

“As horror movies have become more extreme, even the tools of the tree surgeon have be-come passé. Besides, why risk industrial deaf-ness dispatching virgins with a chainsaw?

Death by Umbrella! The 100 Weirdest Horror Movie Weapons is a fun-filled romp through the world of gore ordinances. Hosts of The Really Awful Movies Podcast, Christopher Lombardo and Jeff Kirschner, explore a variety of very odd weapons that have helped people meet their maker in horror films.

These include being fatally skewered by mounted deer antlers, death by exercise machines, curling irons, and ears of corn, laceration by avant-garde sculptures, bludgeoning into the beyond by pogo sticks, and even lethal basketballs thrown at high velocity (!)

A must for horror fans, the book also features some really cool (and gory) illustrations, plus a foreword by Troma legend Lloyd Kaufman.”
