The longstanding Italian tradition of making horror films in English with female leads and over-egged scores and attractive cinematography and incoherent plots is alive and well in the 2020s, or so it would seem from Francesco Picone’s latest effort. Dead Bride sees a woman, her husband and their baby move into the house which she has inherited from her father, who recently died by suicide. Having been abandoned by her father at the age of nine, Alyson (Jennifer Mischiati) has had lifelong mental health problems which are all the more worrying due to the severe illness which troubled her mother. She’s coping pretty well for a new mother but is aware of her limits and smart enough to speak up when she needs help. When husband Richard (Christoph Hülsen) announces out of the blue that he’s going away on a work trip, she shudders at the thought of being without.

In a world ravaged by a rabies virus that turns people into hungry cannibals, Alice, a pregnant survivor, along with two other men, struggles to reach an island unaffected by the plague. Meanwhile, a dangerous man is on the trail of a mysterious girl, and Alice soon discovers that zombies are not the only threat…
Anger of the Dead is a hard-hitting political thriller that… oh wait sorry, wrong film. Anger of the Dead is (surprise, surprise) a zombie film! I’m sure you’ve already guessed that by now as it tends to be the case of any film with ‘of the dead’ in the title.
Anger of the Dead is another one of those zombie films populated by people who have never seen a zombie film,...

New Clip from The Well and Screening Details: “At the edge of an expansive barren valley, all that remains of The Wallace Farm for Wayward Youth is a few hollowed-out husks of buildings. Seventeen-year-old Kendal (Haley Lu Richardson) can barely recall when the Oregon valley was still lush. It’s been a decade since the last rainfall, and society at large has dried up and blown away. Kendal and the few others that remain barely scrape by, while dreaming of escape. When a greedy water baron lays claim to what little of the precious resource remains underground, Kendal must decide whether...

We return with the latest edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes release details for A Resurrection, the first teaser trailer for Ten, a review of Smiley, and much more:
First Teaser Trailer for Ten: “Ten is a collectivist, post-exploitation psychological thriller devised as a possible explanation for the events of the 1972 Spektor Island Massacre. On a cold December afternoon, ten women arrive at a mansion on Spektor Island, famed for years of reported hauntings and strange activities. Will they live through the night?
The all-female cast film is a response to exploitation, slasher, and thriller films, with particular focus on the kind of storytelling prominent in b-movies and genre films from the 1950s to the 1980s. It explores the meaning and fluidity of identity and takes a number of surprising turns, paying homage to filmmakers and producers such as Alfred Hitchcock,...
