42nd St Forever Vol. 5

By far the best thing on DVD is Synapses 42nd Street Forever series. Now at number 5 this a compendium of crazy ass grindhouse movie trailers likely better than most of the movies! Essential for the alternative cinema fan.

Pontypool

PONTYPOOL is a fresh take on the zombie/infected genre that pulls off the very unlikely sounding act of being a scary movie with very little on screen frights or bloodletting. Tension mounts through the delivery of three excellent performances and the horror really is on the suggestion of events unseen relying on a narrated relay of events. The sort of story that would make an ideal radio play becomes one of the most memorable horor movies of 2009.

After Dark and Ghost House Underground

News of upcoming Halloween treats from Ghost House Underground who will release 4 straight to DVD titles this year with a better eye on quality control. The Children from the UK gave us a total boner and the other three are causing some definate trouser stirrings. Good artwork but the Evil Dead mention is a bit of a cheat.






























After Dark Films are beginning to announce titles for their fourth horror fest including one of the Book Of Blood adaptations Dread.
