Emily Cutting – "Blood Widow" interview!

Emily Cutting gives her lungs a good workout in her latest movie, "Blood Widow". But, she drew breathe long enough to answer a few of our questions.
 
How did you get the gig?

The casting director Kyle and I had been on set together. He reached out to me to audition for the film. I did and the rest is history.
 
For those that haven’t yet seen it, who do you play?

I play Amber. She is driven by the need for stimulation and excitement. She gets bored very easily and when brought out in the middle of the woods with no cell service she is constantly getting into mischief to keep herself from going stir crazy.
 
Was it frightening at times working with the Blood Widow character? She’s spooky-looking!
 
I don't want to be a spoiler but I never really have the chance to be frightened. I feel that the way Amber works is that she would have been more angry and annoyed with blood widow crashing her fun than frightened per se'.  My scene with the blood widow was much more frightening when I watched it on screen than during filming.
 
Was it sort of a family feeling, working on an indie like this? Are you all close now?
 
I had a blast with the cast and crew! I do occasionally talk to my most of co-stars via Facebook however I am very close friends with the actress that played Harmony and we actually began a small independent film company called " little black film"
 
How was Jeremiah Buckhalt, the director, to work with?
 
Jeremiah was great. He motivated us and gave everyone a lot of support. It was difficult at times working long hours in the summer, with no air conditioning but we made it. He was so dedicated we even filmed on his birthday.
 
Are you a fan of horror movies?
 
I hate scary movies. I am a chicken when it comes to that stuff. I am more of a comedy person.

What’s next for you?
 
The sky is the limit! I am continuing to audition and hopefully my breakout role is just around the corner.

"Blood Widow" is out now on US DVD and can be purchased from Amazon.com.

OCULUS – FRIDAY THE 13th, MIRRORS & OTHER SCARY SUPERSTITIONS

Today is Friday the 13th, a day synonymous with the supernatural, the macabre and the creepy, so what better date to release critically acclaimed horror film, "Oculus". To celebrate the film’s release of we take a look at superstitions surrounding this aptly chosen release day….

27%
Millions of people fear Friday the 13th when it pops up in the calendar and even change plans to avoid tempting fate. People have admitted to taking extra care when getting around to the extent that some people don’t even leave the house, and it is estimated that travelers are 27% less likely to book a flight on this day.
 
5.8 million
If you avoid walking over three drains, never put new shoes on a table or frantically close your umbrella when you step indoors then chances are that you are one of the 5.8 million people in the UK who are superstitious. Other common superstitions include throwing a pinch of salt over your shoulder whenever you spill some and keeping lucky underwear!
 
80%
Triskaidekaphobia is the fear of the number 13, and this fear is so common that is has been estimated that 80% of high-rise buildings do not have a 13th floor. This phobia has also led to hotels missing a room 13, aeroplanes skipping the 13th aisle and hospitals avoiding naming a room 13.
 
10 million
One of the most practical superstitions safety-wise, but walking under a ladder remains a common superstition in the UK with 10 million people claiming that they avoid passing through the DIY instrument for fear that it will bring them bad luck.
 
50%
Black cats became associated with witchcraft and bad luck way back in the middle ages, but this feline fear remains to such an extent in the 21st century that animal shelters report that the mysterious moggies are 50% less likely to be adopted than cats of any other colour.
 
13th
Magpie numbers have more than doubled in the past 30 years, making them (creepily) the 13th most common garden bird. But lone magpies are considered an ill omen by some who believe that to counteract the bad luck, they must salute their feathered foes.
 
9 million
From the historical belief that they contain trapped souls to anyone who has ever caught a strange reflection from the corner of your eye, giving you a shiver down your spine, mirrors have always been a bit creepy. This explains then why an estimated 9 million people in the UK believe that breaking a mirror will cause seven years bad luck.
 
Flight 666 to HEL
Would you board flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th? For even the bravest of travellers, this might be a step too far but flight AY666 Copenhagen to Helsinki carries on as scheduled

"The Complete Dr Phibes" - BD Box Set - A Review

“The Abominable Dr Phibes” and it’s sequel “Dr Phibes Rides Again” are, quite probably, Vincent Price’s most outrageous films. And they’re being released together on UK Blu-Ray for the first time by Arrow films this month in their “Complete Dr Phibes” Blu-Ray box set. 

"The Abominable Dr Phibes".

Set in the 1920s, the police are investigating a series of murders, involving various medical staff, who have been killed in the most bizarre of fashions. One doctor has been killed by vampire bats, another by a swarm of killer bees, whilst another is found tied to a chair with his blood drained.

The investigating officers, Inspector Trout (Peter Jeffrey – “Countess Dracula”) and Sgt Schenley (Norman Jones – “You Only Live Twice”) (a couple of bungling cops who appear to have been included for comic relief), discover that the manner of their deaths seem to be connected to the Ten Plagues of Egypt mentioned in the bible (boils, frogs, bats etc).

They also discover that each one of these doctors had been involved in trying to save a certain Victoria Phibes (played by future Bond girl and Hammer starlet Caroline Munro in an uncredited role), who died whilst in their care. Her Husband, Dr Anton Phibes (Vincent Price), was believed to have died in a car crash on his way to visit her. But it seems all those involved in trying to save her are now meeting a decidedly grisly fate.

The police suspect that Dr Phibes might not actually be dead and is somehow behind these killings. But despite their best efforts, he seems to be one step ahead of them at every turn, as the demented Doctor, who is indeed alive and lives in a crypt beneath his old mansion with the preserved body of his dead wife, continues to wreak his revenge on all those he holds accountable for her death, with the help of his mute assistant Vulnavia (Virginia North)

Noted American horror actor Joseph Cotton also stars, playing Dr Vesalius and, in one of his few rare non-comedy roles, British actor Terry Thomas also appears as a Brandy swilling surgeon with a penchant for vintage “erotic”  films, which provides the film with one of its more amusing death scenes. Perhaps more of a black comedy than a horror, in any case this is a definite must see for Vincent Price fans.
 
"Dr Phibes Rises Again".

The original Dr Phibes had been quite a success for its US distributors, so a sequel was quick to follow. Set shortly after the events of the first film, Phibes rises out of his tomb once more, only to find someone has demolished his mansion and stolen some Egyptian scrolls he had, that show the location of some mythical “River of Life”.

Summoning his assistant Vulnavia (now played by Valli Kemp… Hey, didn’t she die at the end of the last film?), they discover the scrolls were stolen by some wealthy adventurer named Biederbeck (Robert Quarry – “Count Yorga”), who wants the secrets of the River of Life for his own nefarious ends.
 
And so Phibes and company head off to Egypt in pursuit of Beiderbeck and proceed to bump off the people in his party in a suitably gory fashion as before (one chap being killed by Scorpions, another crushed in a sarcophagus and another, sand blasted to death etc) . One of the victims being none other than a young-ish John Thaw of “The Sweeney” and “Inspector Morse” fame.
 
Inspector Trout (Peter Jeffries) returns, this time assisted by his superior, Superintendent Waverly (John Cater of “Captain Kronos : Vampire Hunter” fame, reprising his earlier role), who attempt to stop Dr Phibes before he kills any more, but they fail to do much apart from provide more comic relief.
 
The film basically serves up more of the same as before, which should please fans of the original. There’s also some interesting guest roles in this, including Beryl Reid, Peter Cushing and Terry Thomas, who sharper eyed viewers will note is one of several cast members from the original film returning in a different roles.
 
Now, being an Arrow release, these discs come chocked full of extras.

On disc 1, accompanying “The Abominable Dr Phibes” you have
 
2x audio commentary tracks, the first with Director Robert Feust, moderated by film journalist Marcus Hearn, in which they discuss the making of the film. and the second with scriptwriter William Goldstein, which is moderated by his son Damon J Goldstein, which is really more of a running trivia track, as they discuss various anecdotes surrounding the production and release of the film.

Next up is a “Dr Phibes and the Gentlemen” feature. Which is a round table discussion with “League of Gentleman” stars Steve Pemberton, Jeremy Dyson, Mark Gatiss and Reece Sheersmith, exchanging stories about their love of the film
 
And lastly there's the original theatrical trailer.

On disc 2, accompanying “Dr Phibes Rises Again” you get

Audio commentary track with Tim Lucas, editor of Video Watchdog magazine, who provides a running critique of the story, interspersed with the odd amusing anecdote.

Then there’s a “Daughter of Phibes” feature, in which Vincent’s Price’s daughter, Victoria shares her memories about the time her father was on set and discusses some of his other films.

“The Doctor will See You Now”, interview feature with cult film historian David del Valle who shares some of the more amusing stories about the making of the films.

And lastly, there’s the original theatrical trailer.

The case also comes packages with a 100 page collectors book featuring linear notes on the film, illustrated with behind the scenes stills and promotional artwork.
 
Definitely a must for Vincent Price fans, this box set is strictly limited  to 3000 copies and, at present, is the only BD release of this anywhere in the world. So if you are looking at adding these films to your collection, this release is an essential purchase.

"Camp Dread" - UK DVD review

Big Brother meets Friday the 13th  in Camp Dread  which comes to UK DVD this month from Image entertainment, who were nice enough to send me a review copy.

The film stars noted screen baddie Eric Roberts, as Julian Barret. A former horror movie director who’s come up with a rather novel idea for a reality show.
 
Set at a summer camp, which they’ve wired with hidden cameras, the idea is to take group of reckless 20 year olds, who’ve gone off the rails, and try to rehabilitate them. Those who manage to stay in therapy and complete their tasks get to win a substantial cash prize. Those who don’t are “killed off” and sent back home with nothing.
 
Their counsellor is none other than former actress Rachel Steele, who starred in Barret’s earlier horror films (played by  “Sleepaway Camp” actress Felissa Rose), who’s since become a therapist.
 
But unfortunately, as filming begins, it seems there is a killer in their midst, who’s seen Barret’s old summer camp slasher films, and is looking at turning his new reality show into a real life slasher film.
 
Also starring horror veteran Danielle Harris (Halloween 4, Stakeland) I was really looking forward to this one. But sadly, I was left feeling a bit disappointed. For starters, there were these really long periods where nothing much happened. The acting by the supporting cast left much to be desired, the killings were very few and far between and overall the film was just way too slow.
 
A potentially interesting idea poorly done in my view, with Danielle Harris and Felissa Rose being woefully underused.
 
Extras wise, the disc was bare bones without any supplemental material. So nothing there to sweeten the deal either.
 
This one might appeal to slasher movie fans for the sheer novelty value of seeing Danielle Harris and Felissa Rose appearing with Eric Roberts. But otherwise, proves to be a lot less fun than it’s premise suggests…
 
The film is released to UK DVD June 23rd

Hellraiser : Leviathan Project - Kickstarter Campaign

"Leviathan: The making of Hellraiser and Hellbound: Hellraiser II" is a documentary detailing the history and the making of – a process which was brimming with creativity and many a creative to boot - the first two Hellraiser movies, and showcases the creative genius of its creator, Clive Barker.
 
The documentary has completed UK production on interviews which includes Nick Vince, Barbie Wilde, Kenneth Cranham, Simon Banford, Chris Figg, Robyn Vigeon, Geoff Portass and many, many more. (Twenty-five interviews in total thus far.)
 
The stories and insights that have been gathered are making for a truly amazing documentary, which certainly makes it a ‘must see’ event for any fan of both the filmmaking process and of the films themselves.
 
The team now firmly have their sights set on a US trip to interview several of the American based members of the production team, most notably, hopefully the man himself Clive Barker, which would conclude principal photography and move the production into post-production.
 
The documentary has achieved so much in such a short time, but in order to complete this project Cult Film Screenings are seeking completion funding – having self-funded the project up to this point.
 
The director, K. John McDonagh, and producer, Gary Smart, are pushing hard to find the funds, and here’s what they have to say:
 
“It’d be a shame not to do this properly after all the hard work that has gone into it so far …” says director Kevin McDonagh. “… we could cut corners towards the end and phone it in, literally with Skype interviews and out sourcing, however we’ve strived to create and uphold a very specific look and vision for the documentary to compliment the films, and that is of a very high standard of which we intend to keep. The only way to achieve that is to go to US ourselves and do things right…”
 
“We’ve committed to this one-hundred percent,” says producer and co-writer Gary Smart, “and we want to see it through to the end in all aspects so that we can maintain the level of quality that we have achieved thus far; it’s what the fans deserve and it’s what the legacy of those two films deserves. One way or another we’ll give the fans what they’re after, and finish this documentary how we’ve envisioned it right from the start: by doing it the right way.”

Detroit to unveil statue honoring Alex Murphy (no REALLY)!!!

The city of Detroit will unveil a metal memorial to one of its most famous sons this week as an internet campaign to honour Officer Alex Murphy’s robotic alter ego reaches a climax.
 
Timed to perfection for the UK digital release of José Padilha’s action-packed sci-fi saga, ‘Robocop Day’ will see the citizens of Detroit treated to a range of robo-related activity that will include appearances from the cyborg himself and, most significantly, an announcement about the long-discussed crowd funded statue that sparked an internet storm nearly three years ago.
 
Despite an initially cool reaction to the planned statue from Detroit’s City Hall, public demand has led to the 10-foot statue becoming a reality now fully endorsed by public office. Tomorrow, the mayor himself will be marking Robocop Day at the Detroit Police Department before Officer Murphy sets off to protect the city with his contemporary counterparts.

More info on this on the Michigan Live website.

Robocop is available to own digitally on 2nd June and is released on DVD, Blu-Ray and on Limited Edition Blu-Ray Steelbook from 9th June 2014.
