Undead Labs’ hugely ambitious open world RPG State of Decay is one of the more exciting zombie games on the horizon. They’re really going all out with this post-apocalyptic arcade title, packing more content into it than most full retail releases.

A GameStop listing obtained by IGN could narrow reveals a June 5 release date and reveals a moderately high — for an arcade title — price tag of $20, or 1600 MSP. The developer’s community director Sanya Weathers clarified the listing in the State of Decay forums, saying June 5 is their goal, but they won’t be able to provide a solid date until the game passes certification. As for the price, I wouldn’t be all that surprised if it did cost $20, knowing how much content it offers.

Trailer For ‘V/H/S/2′ Features TONS Of Bloody Chaos!!!

Movies

Category: Movies / Trailers

We finally get a full length trailer for V/H/S/2 and it’s worth the wait! As someone who really liked most of the original film, I’ve got no problem telling you that V/H/S/2 is much, much better. It’s tighter, shorter, leaner and a rock solid viewing experience. It’s also gory, chaotic and fun as hell – which this trailer certainly represents!

Acquired by Magnet Releasing out of Sundance as S-VHS, V/H/S/2 will be arriving on VOD platforms June 6 with a theatrical rollout set for July 12. In the film directed by Simon Barrett, Adam Wingard, Gareth Evans, Eduardo Sanchez, Gregg Hale, Jason Eisener and Timo Tjahjanto, “Inside a darkened house looms a column of TVs littered with VHS tapes, a pagan shrine to forgotten analog gods. The screens crackle and pop endlessly with monochrome vistas of static—white noise permeating the brain and fogging concentration. But you must fight the urge to relax: this is no mere movie night. Those obsolete spools contain more than just magnetic tape. They are imprinted with the very soul of evil.

From the demented minds that brought you last year’s V/H/S comes V/H/S/2, an all-new anthology of dread, madness, and gore. This follow-up ventures even further down the demented path blazed by its predecessor, discovering new and terrifying territory in the genre. This is modern horror at its most inventive, shrewdly subverting our expectations about viral videos in ways that are just as satisfying as they are sadistic. The result is the rarest of all tapes—a second generation with no loss of quality.”

The Countdown Begins! Only 10 Months Until ‘A Haunted House 2′!

Marlon Wayans’ A Haunted House, which spoofed Paranormal Activity and The Devil Inside, made $40 Million at the US Box Office and seems to be doing fairly well on home video. So, needless to say, Open Road’s A Haunted House 2 is still right on track. In fact, they now have a release date. March 28, 2014. I didn’t care for the first film, so here’s hoping for some improvement.

We don’t know much about the sequel yet, but I spoke with Wayans last week and he confirmed what Essence Atkins will indeed be returning, seeing as she’s this franchise’s “Katie.”

A Haunted House 2 will be financed and produced by IM Global’s genre label Octane and will shoot this summer. READ MORE

‘Watch Dogs’ Gets A New Trailer, Launching In November

Watch Dogs was easily the most exciting announcement to come out of E3 last year, but it also felt so far away. Today that changes, as Ubisoft has revealed a launch date alongside a brand new trailer. What attracted me to this game — outside of the fact that everything else that came out of the event was decidedly “been there, done that” — was how intriguing its concept was.

It’s an open world game set in the modern day, so the setting isn’t exactly unique, but the ability to hack into and control the environment around you is a nice addition. It also looks gorgeous, though that isn’t all that surprising seeing as it’s also coming to next-gen consoles.

IFC Films will release Peter Strickland’s Berberian Sound Studio, starring Toby Jones and Tonia Sotiropoulou, on June 14th on various VOD Platforms. Mr. Disgusting hated this movie more than he normally hates things.

Indie horror hit Cry of Fear was among the first batch of titles to be greenlit by the Steam community, and now its developer has given us a release date. It’s coming soon — like, next week soon. Like, April 24th soon. That doesn’t give me much time to go out and grab a couple pairs of Depends, but I’ll manage.

The best part? It’s a free standalone! The first part probably doesn’t require any explanation — it means you won’t have to drop any cash to play it — and the “standalone” bit means you won’t need to own Half-Life to access it. Who here thinks they’re brave enough to get their Cry of Fear on next week?

13 years after the original Ring movie, Sadako returned to the big screen in Japan in Sadako 3D. Now the film is headed to US DVD, Blu-ray and VOD/digital markets on June 8th.

In the film, “Sadako waits, a vicious spirit, hungry for blood and souls. What began as a haunted videotape, passed from hand to cursed hand all those years ago in THE RING, has only gotten easier to find. Sadako waits. And it’s not just on tape anymore. At a local high school, there is a rumor about an online video of someone committing suicide. If it were only a prank, or the work of a deranged artist in town, the students wouldn’t be killing themselves after watching it, would they? The police would have a theory about the quickly-growing body count? And what about the woman in white with long hair? Sadako is always hungry. And she’s no longer alone.”

For those of you keeping tally, there have been four Japanese films based on Koji Suzuki’s popular Ring series including Ringu, Rasen, Ringu 2, and Ringu 0: Birthday. Then there are the little known Japanese TV Series: “Ring: The Final Chapter” (12 Episodes) and it’s sequel “Rasen” (13 Episodes). And then there’s the Korean remake The Ring Virus alongside the two U.S. remakes.

Director Jon Wright’s Tremors influenced Irish horror comedy Grabbers has been on our radar for a while now, but only today did it receive a release date. IFC Films will release on July 19 under the IFC Midnight banner in select theaters and on cable VOD, iTunes, Amazon, Xbox Zune, PlayStation, SundanceNow.com and other digital VOD outlets Grabbers stars Richard Coyle, Ruth Bradley and Russell Tovey in a film that takes to “a sleepy Irish fishing village that’s forced to fend off a blood-sucking sea creature.” The new international trailer has now hit featuring new looks at the film’s creature. IFC acquired the film out of Sundance 18 months ago.

Ryan Daley said this about the Sundance Film Festival selection: “I liked the hell out Grabbers, but if it had revealed its monster just a little less often, and been just a little more menacing in its approach, it could have transcended mere likeability on the way to horror greatness.” Read his entire review here.

Between the sun and its emphasis on “outside activities,” summer isn’t one of my favorite seasons. I prefer to be indoors, with something between me and that massive ball of fire and death that looms ominously in the sky above us. It’s a good thing Capcom has gamers like me in mind. Earlier today Capcom confirmed Lost Planet 3 will come to the PS3, PC, and Xbox 360 on June 25 in North America and in Europe on June 28. That means I can stay inside and squash alien bugs with my giant mech feet. You know what pairs well with an announcement like this? How about a brand new trailer. Check it out after the jump.

‘Lucky Bastard’ Rated NC-17 And Sticking With It

Movies
Posted by EvanDickson on February 28, 2013 @ 2:54pm
Category: Movies / Indie

Lucky Bastard, a found-footage flick set in the porn industry has been rated NC-17 and, if their press release is any indicator, they’re over the moon about it. When life gives you lemons, I suppose. The film was directed by Robert Nathan, produced by horror veteran Jim Wynorski (Return of the Swamp Thing, Chopping Mall) and edited by Hellraiser II director Tony Randel.

“The story centers on Mike (Don McManus), who runs the Lucky Bastard website; Dave (Jay Paulson), a young fan given a chance to have sex with a porn actress; and Ashley Saint (Betsy Rue), the porn star who reluctantly agrees to participate in the website’s “have sex with a porn star” contest. In the end, everyone gets more than they bargained for when the seemingly mild-mannered Dave is irrevocably transformed by his experience. When, as Ashley predicted, Dave becomes humiliated, his personality is transformed and he seeks revenge on his tormentors. In this world, where everyone is safe within its borders, an outsider poses the ultimate danger.”

Check out the trailer inside. Lucky Bastard opens April 5, 2013, at Vintage Cinemas’ Los Feliz 3 Cinemas, 1822 N. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90027. READ MORE

Looks like Activision wants to move out of the busy week of March 26th by moving the release date for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC versions of the game a week earlier to March 19th. Survival Instinct Wii U release date is unaffected, as it will still come on the 26th. I’m a little surprised it didn’t go the other way, because from the gameplay footage and screenshots we’ve seen so far it looks like the game could benefit from some extra development time.

Irrational will be using that extra month to give the game the extra spit and polish it will need to live up to fans’ (and my own) lofty expectations for it. February was already a cluttered month, so I’m glad the goods are being spread out, even if it’s just a little bit. Still releasing in February are Dead Space 3, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Crysis 3, and Aliens: Colonial Marines, so yeah, there’s still plenty to look forward to.
