Killers Prey Online In ‘Cyclical Effect’
Michael Wade Johnson and his film company Faux Pas Films (Brimstone and the horror anthologies Killer Shorts 1 & 2) return with a new feature called Cyclical Effect, which is a meld of horror, comedy, and drama. Filming begins in May in the Nashville, Tennessee, area.
The cast includes Shannon Sylvia (“Ghost Hunters International”), Bianca Barnett (Albino Farm), Michelle Tomlinson (George’s Intervention), Danica DeCosto (The Vampires of Zanzibar), Kayla Perkins (“The Simple Life”), and Melantha Blackthorne (Countess Bathoria’s Graveyard Picture Show) as well as newcomer Dustin Risley playing the lead.
“Ian goes through a downward spiral as he loses control of everything solid in his life. He must reinvent himself, but can he find a perfect match on a dating website and get to where he needs to be before the costumed killer preys on him?”

The fifth installment in the late George A. Romero’s zombie franchise, found footage horror movie Diary of the Dead is getting a new SteelBook Blu-ray on July 2 from Lionsgate.
Lionsgate lets us know in a press release this afternoon, “This gruesome fright flick is only available at Walmart on SteelBook Blu-ray for the suggested retail price of $24.99.”
In Diary of the Dead, Romero continues his influential “Dead” series, this time focusing on a terrified group of college film students who record the pandemic rise of flesh-eating zombies.
Luiz H.C. wrote about the 2008 zombie movie here on Bloody Disgusting a few years back, calling it an underrated movie in Romero’s filmography. Luiz wrote, “Diary of the Dead is far from Romero’s greatest work, but it’s still worth watching after all these years.”
His article continued, “The subtext is still on point, the zombies are still scary and there’s no beating that chilling apocalyptic atmosphere. So, whether you’re a zombie enthusiast, Found Footage fan or just a casual horror hound up for some socially conscious thrills, I wholeheartedly recommend digging this one up. The revolution may not be televised, but if the late, great George A. Romero is to be believed, it might just show up online.”
“And I think that’s a relevant message for these troubling times,” Luiz added.
