Del Toro Confirms that Junji Ito Would’ve Collaborated on ‘Silent Hills’

Published

Well, way to twist the knife all the deeper into our sides.

Taking to Twitter, writer/director Guillermo del Toro stated that horror manga artist Junji Ito was a collaborator on the ill-fated Silent Hills, adding that both himself and Hideo Kojima were fans.

Ito is the man behind Tomie, Uzumaki, and Gyo, the last of which is about a strain of bacteria that takes over fish. Ito’s visuals are considered by many to be some of the most inventive and truly horrific to be put on paper.

If Ito was part of the creature design, I don’t have any hesitations saying that Silent Hills would’ve featured the most terrifying enemies we’d ever seen in that foggy town.

Many of the artist’s works are available to read online.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

Published

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
