Sleepaway Camp‘s Felissa Rose is a regular ta horror conventions.

Rose and writer-director Harrison Smith are heading up the genre division of the recently-relaunched Carolco Pictures.

Rose and Smith are currently working on bringing Love Bites, the 2010 novel by scream queen Adrienne Barbeau, to the big screen.

This past weekend Rose appeared at Rock and Shock for a Sleepaway Camp panel, which was attended by Broke Horror Fan. There, Rose was telling fans that Resident Evil star Milla Jovovich is in talks to star in the adaptation.

“In talks” can mean a lot of things. For all we know Rose and Smith reached out to Jovovich’s reps and consider that “in talks.” It doesn’t mean for a second that Jovovich is interested, and all of this should be taken in jest until something more official were to be announced.

“Love Bites” is the second novel in Barbeau’s “Vampyres of Hollywood” series. It’s about Ovsanna Moore, a Hollywood siren, horror film legend, cut throat producer and 450-year-old vampyre.

Jovovich is currently in South Africa shooting Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the sixth and final entry in the franchise.

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.
