Horror In Your House: Feb 21st, 2012

Published

on

No big studio films this week, but there are plenty of indie choices to take a look it. On the TV front “The Fades,” a BBC themed horror show, is now out on DVD and Blu. It’s good. Believe. I haven’t seen anything else on the list, but am curious about Inkubus, the latest Robert Englund flick. It’s garnered some attention as it’s being lauded as return to the nasty and sadistic for Englund. Are you picking up anything this week? Horror In Your House
Feb 21st, 2012

BONG OF THE DEAD – Horizon Motion Pictures

Outcast DVDWhen meteorites from outer space cause an all out zombie outbreak, the world is left desolate with only a few survivors. Tommy and Edwin are a pair of stoner buddies who keep themselves occupied by growing and smoking as much pot as humanly possible. One day they discover that by using zombie brains as fertilizer, they are able to grow a strain of super potent weed. In order for them to be able to keep a constant surplus of pot, they must find more zombies. Together they embark on a road trip in search of zombies, but end up finding more than they bargained for in this hilarious action adventure comedy. There will be bud!

THE FADES (DVD/Blu-ray) – BBC Warner

Seventeen-year-old Paul (Ian De Caestecker, Coronation Street) is haunted by apocalyptic dreams that neither his therapist nor his best friend and fellow geeky social outcast Mac (Daniel Kaluuya, Skins, Sucker Punch) can provide answers for. Worse still, Paul has started to see the Fades – spirits of the dead – all around him when they are not supposed to be sensed at all by ordinary human beings. And as if that is not enough, an embittered and vengeful Fade finds a way to break the barrier between the dead and the living, placing Paul and Mac, with their friends and family, right in the eye of the storm. Soon the fate of humanity rests in the hands of two teenagers who already have enough trouble getting through a day in one piece, let alone saving the world…

MICAH SAYS: After watching an episode on BBC America I was instantly sold. It’s dark and funny (especially for horror nerds). With lines like, “My only friend is either a lunatic or Heather Langenkamp” you can’t go wrong.

INKUBUS– Screen Media

Upon the discovery of a grisly murder, a team of police working the graveyard shift are terrorized by the mysterious arrival of the century-old demon Inkubus. During their gruesome and violent battle, a detective realizes the demon has returned from his past, intent on settling a score. Starring horror icon Robert Englund, Inkubus is a spine-tingling fright fest where the powers of good and evil are put to the test.

OUTCAST– Bloody Disgusting Selects / Vivendi Entertainment

OUTCAST unmasks an ancient Celtic society, where black magic and witchery exist.  Mary is a woman on the run, harboring a dark history.  When a hunter with mythical powers is assigned to capture her and to kill her son, she is forced to unravel her past.  As the two powers collide, the emergence of a greater evil develops and the fear of the unknown surfaces.

VOMIT GORE BOX SET – Unearthed Films

Teenage runaway Angela Aberdeen (Ameara LaVey) has made a pact with Satan in an attempt to escape the trauma and abuse suffered throughout her short life. “The Vomit Gore Trilogy” is a mind-altering, demonic triptych of events depicting Angela’s gruesome journey through life and death. In stark and consummate detail, the trilogy represents the travails of the sexually abused, bulimic teenager as she turns to stripping, prostitution and porn.

‘Hokum’ Heads Home to Digital Tomorrow Ahead of Physical Media Release in August

Hokum Review - Hokum Digital Release Date

After scaring up a strong theatrical run, Oddity director Damian McCarthy’s Hokum heads home to Digital this week.

Settle in for a spooky supernatural chiller as Hokum arrives on all Digital platforms to rent or own beginning June 2, followed by a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD Combo and DVD release on August 11, 2026.

Adam Scott (“Severance”) stars in Hokum as reclusive novelist Ohm Bauman. When he retreats to a remote Irish inn to scatter his parents’ ashes, the staff’s tales of an ancient witch haunting the honeymoon suite take hold of his mind. Disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance draw Ohm into a nightmarish confrontation with the darkest corners of his past.

Peter Coonan (“The Alienist: Angel of Darkness”), David Wilmot (“Station Eleven”), Florence Ordesh (“Departure”), Michael Patric (“Frontier”), Will O’Connell (“Game of Thrones”), Brendan Conroy (“Bodkin”), and Austin Amelio (“The Walking Dead”) also star.

Get a peek at the upcoming physical media release below, including a few special features.

Spooky Pictures’ Roy Lee (Weapons) & Steven Schneider (Insidious) produce alongside Image Nation’s Derek Dauchy (Late Night with the Devil), Tailored Film’s Ruth Treacy, Julianne Forde, & Mairtín de Barra, and Cweature Features’ Ken Kao & Josh Rosenbaum.

I wrote in my review for Bloody Disgusting, “A quaint Irish hotel with a deeply haunted history awaits an American writer in McCarthy’s third outing, continuing his streak for folkloric tales of supernatural karma and spine-tingling terror with a dark sense of humor.”

What’s next from Damian McCarthy? He’s currently writing a haunted house movie, but recent comments suggest he may be moving into other genres beyond that upcoming project.
