Here’s When You Can Head to ‘Summer Camp’!
Filmax’s Summer Camp, which looks like a mix between The Evil Dead and [REC], is set to hit digital HD, VOD and DVD on August 2, 2016, Bloody Disgusting learned.
Fin‘s Andres Velencoso, X-Men: First Class‘ Alex Gonzalez, The House of the Devil‘s Jocelin Donahue, [REC]3‘s Diego Boneta and Zombieland‘s Maiara Walsh are heading to Summer Camp where they play “unsuspecting American camp counselors who confront a virus unlike any seen before.“
It’s an interesting new spin on viral-horror that actually looks to pass along a possession. You catch a shot of someone with their eyes blindfolded, which makes me think that’s how this infection spreads. No matter, it looks astoundingly fast-paced, especially in the shot of the girl getting infected while driving – Jaume Balaguer really does know how to crank horror films to maximum speed.

Alberto Marini’s English-language Summer Camp is executive produced by [REC] franchise director Jaume Balaguero.
Summer Camp is said to immerse the viewer on an adrenaline-charged journey by providing an innovative approach to the classical concept of teenagers lost in the woods.
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
