There you’ll find theater listings, trailers, images, promotions and other interactive features forthcoming. We’ll be building it out with each release starting with the German zombie flick Rammbock: Berlin Undead, which opens in select cities (exclusively at AMC) on Wednesday, May 4.

While there, make sure to “Share and Tell” to give yourself a chance to win some tickets to one of the many screenings (we have TONS to give away, so make sure to “click to share and WIN”).

With all of that said, we’ll have a new movie hitting theaters every month(!), inside you’ll find release plans for Rammbock: Berlin Undead, YellowBrickRoad, Cold Fish, and Atrocious!!

As I’ve stated numerous times, I think the “found footage” subgenre is awesome. I also believe it’s here to stay. Sure, everyone and their moms are attempting to make their own cinema verite horror film, but how is that any different than when Halloween inspired a rash of slasher film that are still alive and well 30+ years later?

Sifting through hundreds of new films inspired by Paranormal Activity, The Blair Witch Project and REC, we here at Bloody Disgusting believe we’ve unearthed a new batch of creepy footage that you guys are absolutely going to love.

Joining Bloody Disgusting Selects is Fernando Barreda Luna’s Spanish-language Atrocious, which landed on our radar after Ryan Daley reviewed it this past January. It had its world premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival, alongside Sundance in Park City, Utah. The pic joins the previously announced line-up of Rammbock, YelowBrickRoad and Cold Fish (more details).

It will be released later this year via AMC Theaters (every single Wednesday and Friday night, expanding if it does well), before arriving on VOD, DVD, online and television. And as stated before, we’ll be highlighting your own personal reviews, good or bad. You guys will make or break the success of the films…

Spanish-language ‘Atrocious’ Gets Found Footage Redo

Could this be the second coming of REC?

One of the cooler movies of the year is the “found footage” Spanish-language Atrocious, which Bloody Disgusting’s Ryan Daley was a pretty big fan of.

The boys over at Twitch are reporting that producers Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity) and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Insidious) have picked up rights for an American remake. Blum and Kavanaugh-Jones have become frequent collaborators, having recently teamed up on Insidious, which was picked up Sony at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. Their next production is Rob Zombie’s The Lords of Salem, which begins production this fall.

Helmed by first-time writer/director Fernando Barreda Luna: “In April of 2010, Spanish police reported the discovery of 37 hours of recorded evidence that shed new light on a gruesome murder investigation. The found footage documents a family of five spending their holidays at their summer house, where brother-and-sister Cristian and July Quintanilla pass the time investigating a terrifying local urban legend. As their investigation intensifies, strange occurrences in and around the house escalate rapidly, before culminating in unspeakable atrocities.”

Watch for some big distribution news in the coming weeks.

Slamdance ’11 REVIEW: Latest First-Person Horror Ain’t So ‘Atrocious’!

Getting quite a bit of buzz out of the Slamdance Film Festival (taking place kitty-corner to the Sundance fest) is the Spanish-language first-person psychological chiller Atrocious, which focuses on the case of a brother and sister who investigate a local urban myth while on holiday, resulting in strange occurrences at the family’s summer house.

Ryan Daley was lucky enough to be one of the first ever to see the film, which he calls a “success”: “While it doesn’t know any new tricks, Atrocious is a dog that perform the old tricks just fine. As the camera whips through the trees in well-edited POV shots, there’s something about the long sequences of night-visioned hedge maze stumbling that are completely hypnotic.”

This month’s Slamdance Film Festival ( January 21-27, 2011 in Park City, Utah) carries only one horror film, Fernando Barreda Luna’s Paranormal Activity-esque Atrocious, which we first told you about back in October. Gearing up for the festival premiere, inside we scored a trio of exclusive evidence photos. Dig through and see if you can find any clues. In April 4th of 2010, Quintanilla family was found murdered in their country side house. Police reported the existence of 37 hours of recorded evidence. Atrocious shows the real images of such evidence. Quintanilla family traveled to their old farm house in Sitges, where Christian and July investigated about the Legend of the Girl in the Garraf woods. Both of them used to record all day whatever they did. On the fifth day of their arrival they were found dead under strange circumstances. Atrocious shows the last five days of life for Cristian Quintanilla and his siblings. It also shows the strange situations that they lived in those moments and which remain unexplained.

I’m absolutely floored by the Slamdance Film Festival’s selections for 2011, especially considering they accepted Paranormal Activity. The 17th annual fest, which takes place in Park City, Utah, simultaneous to the Sundance Film Festival, will screen 10 narrative films and eight documentary features in competition from Jan. 21-27. According to the press release, the only horror film playing is Fernando Barreda Luna’s eerie looking found-footage creeper Atrocious, a film we first told you about here. Atrocious focuses on the case (“Quintanilla Murder Investigation”) of a brother and sister who investigate a local urban myth while on holiday, resulting in strange occurrences at the family’s summer house. Check out the trailer inside.
