Published

Flickr user Kodykoala has posted a series of photos displaying his latest creation, the “Zombie Gameboy“. He needs batteries and will do anything to get them…

One of my good friends, and popular horror artist D.W. Frydendall, has put together a special feature for Crackle entitled “Kill Count“, a look a 30 stomach-turning, blood-dropping, gut-spilling horror movies! Go interact now!

A new horror zine I’ll be checking out later this month is Diabolique Magazine, a lavishly illustrated, full-color magazine that explores horror in both classic and contemporary film, literature, theater, history & art. You can get started with Issue No. 6 now available on the official website. The special collector’s issue is dedicated to the late Vincent Price.

A “family fun” video has just landed on Game Trailers that comes from our friends at Destructoid. “The Halloween season begins as Ash pulls the fam together for some ‘Left 4 Dead’ style sacrificing.” The short is a reenactment of the awesome “Left 4 Dead”. Watch it inside.

G4 is getting into the holiday spirit with their very own “Epictober Film Festival” that kicks off today with “The Hunt,” a terrifying tale of horror that mashes up old-school suspense with the Nintendo classic “Duck Hunt”. Check back tomorrow to G4, at 9 AM EST for the Festival’s Centerpiece Showcase, Drew Daywalt’s “Kart Driver.” And on Wednesday at 9, enjoy the festival’s Closing Selection, Gregg Bishop’s “The Birds of Anger,” a horror take on Angry Birds in which the birds are very, very angry.

Speaking of Drew Daywalt, the short filmmaker has launched a game for Camera Obscura that’s now available in iTunes and Android marketplaces. The “Camera Obscura” mobile game will follow a story line consistent with the popular horror web series previously distributed on programming destination site Daily Motion.

Dev Patel’s ‘Monkey Man’ Is Now Available to Watch at Home!

After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.

You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!

Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.

Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”

“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.

She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.

Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
