Tarantino Teases ‘Kill Bill Volume 3’
So bloody it’s nearly impossible not to cover on Bloody Disgusting, Quentin Tarantino is looking to finally return to the Kill Bill franchise with a third installment. At the Morelia Intl. Film Festival on Saturday, Quentin Tarantino said he wants to make a third installment in the “Kill Bill” franchise, reports Variety. There to promote “Inglorious Basterds”- the festival opener – the geek chic filmmaker wanted to give Uma Thurman’s central character and her daughter Beebe 10 years of peace before the next bloody installment – which would push the project to 2014. Sounds good to me! Now if only he’d get the full version of the first film out as promise nearly five years ago.
You can watch it on YouTube, but God forbid we can see it in theaters like this…

‘This Is How the World Ends’ – New Movie Claims to Be First Straight-to-VHS Release In 20 Years
A whole bunch of new horror movies have made the leap to VHS in recent years, thanks to fan-run companies including Witter Entertainment and Lunchmeat. Everything from Terrifier 2 & Terrifier 3 to Alien Romulus and Mandy has found itself on VHS as the once-dead format shows new signs of life, but what about a brand new movie that’s ONLY released on VHS?
Low budget sci-fi movie This Is How the World Ends is claiming to be the first straight-to-VHS release in twenty years, according to a new report from Variety this week.
From South African director Robert dos Santos, This Is How the World Ends centers on a brother who sets out to find his sister at a hedonistic party deep in the desert.
Here’s the synopsis: “When the war between humans and the AI Machine States breaks out, misinformation and confusion reigns supreme. While the government pumps out reports that everything is going to be okay, the underground news reports that this might very well be the end.
“In the midst of this uncertainty, something unique is happening. The party to end all parties, dubbed the last party on earth, is taking place deep in the desert.
“While some are living with blinkers on, Danni Freeman (Frances Shalto-Douglas) knows that this is the end, and she makes the choice to journey deep into the desert to experience what life has to offer for one last time. Believing that this war will blow over, Tom Freeman (Josh Kempen) is sent to track down his sister and bring her back.
“But with a world that is falling apart at the seams, he must overcome a dangerous journey to the end of the world, as well as his own mortality.”
According to Variety’s report, This Is How the World Ends will be released on VHS for National VCR Day on June 7, and the outlet notes that “pre-orders from around the world have already surpassed 1,000 copies.” The company VHS Haven is distributing the release in the U.S.
“What does VHS in 2026 look like and how can this be a new reimagining of what ‘straight-to-VHS’ means,” dos Santos explains. “It used to be proper slander, if someone said ‘straight-to-VHS,’ it meant terrible. But the whole point of this is to reclaim that and say, look, straight-to-VHS is actually saying that this is a well-made film, made with intention for an audience.”
