Kill Me Again

Unlike other horror movies, "Kill Me Again" provides its audience with a dramatically intelligent, and emotionally charged storyline, set within the hugely popular zombie genre.

Fans of AMC’s Emmy award winning “The Walking Dead” will without a doubt consider "Kill Me Again" a welcome addition to the zombie genre family.

George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" was only the beginning. "Kill Me Again" promises to continue onward, thus keeping the zombie legacy alive, as it were.

So, we ask…

“When the time comes… could you?”

The film's tagline poses but one poignant question..."When the time comes... could you?"

While an unsuspecting group celebrates one of the happiest days of their lives, they find themselves suddenly facing their worst nightmare. The festivities disrupted - the group must fight for their own survival, but with the zombie apocalypse beginning… will they make it?

Written and directed by Steven Rodriguez watch in horror as they try to escape this hell.

Hand of Glory writer/director unveils Slay Utterly

Chicago, Ill. - Nearly 100 years to the day eight unsolved ax murders were perpetrated in Villisca, Iowa, director Stuart Wahlin has announced his next feature film, Slay Utterly, which is inspired by the gruesome events in the nation’s heartland. The film is presently slated for a 2013 release.

“Although I’m adapting this piece of history into a modern context, with an FBI agent on the case, the film will be set mostly in rural locales, to retain some of the rustic ambiance that could otherwise be lost in more-contemporary settings,” he explained. “Sometimes a location can almost become another character in the story. I think that’s true here.”

Wahlin said the inspiration came after a recent overnight stay in the Villisca Ax Murder House, where two adults and six children were bludgeoned to death in their beds June 10, 1912.

“It’s a tough thing to walk away from without feeling something very profound,” he reported. “I was drawn there because it’s supposed to be one the most-haunted places in the country, and there’s definitely something there. But this isn’t a film about the paranormal. This is a brutal crime thriller, somewhat in the Thomas Harris [The Silence of the Lambs, Red Dragon] style.”

Although the Villisca murders remain officially unsolved, despite several colorful suspects also to be portrayed in the film, Wahlin pointed to eerie similarities between these and other ax murders throughout the Midwest during 1911 and 1912.

“Looking back, with what we know now about things like behavioral profiling, these Midwestern murders were all likely the work of one ritualistic serial killer,” he asserted. “That is the basis for my film.”

Wahlin’s Hand of Glory premiered in Chicago earlier this year, but the director stated he’s considering pulling the plug on its current festival run.

“It’s nice to receive nominations and all that, but you’re dealing with a very limited audience when you commit yourself to the festival circuit,” Wahlin explained. “I’m looking at releasing it episodically on the web around Christmas, mostly as a means to drum up a little buzz for Slay Utterly, which will require a significant budget. We’ll just get better exposure that way. Hand of Glory was written and shot as a film-style web series, with cliffhangers at the end of each installment, so I think it just works better as such.”

Although Wahlin has several Chicago-area actors in mind for key roles, he indicated it’s too premature to make any casting announcements.

The Pact

Annie begins experiencing a series of intense and disturbing dreams – visions that lead her to uncover something terrible about her mother’s past that is finally revealing itself.

Available Nationwide on IFC Midnight Cable VOD and Digital Outlets (SundanceNOW, iTunes, Amazon Streaming, XBOX Zune, Playstation Unlimited) on May 25th. In theaters July 6, 2012.

Young and Evil

Post-apocalyptic, teenage pirates with Lovecraftian monsters.

Tommy Fenn is one of the oldest people left alive on Orcas Island. He’s fifteen. The Orphan Fog plague has wiped out all the adults and young children and now the Pacific Northwest is a wasteland of teens and tweens struggling to survive amongst the rotting bodies of their parents and the wreckage of their world.

Scavenging can only take them so far. Tommy doesn’t know when the National Guard will come back, or even if the government still exists. So he and his gang learn to sail, to trade with other survivors around the islands, to see what’s out there. And what’s out there is pirates; murdering, raping teenagers who take what they want and shoot anyone who gets in their way. To protect the island, Tommy proposes joining forces with the Rosario colony. Their leader, Brad Dexter, refuses. He considers Tommy a criminal, as bad as any pirate. Then the pirates invade Tommy’s cove and kidnap Jennifer Nakasura.

And far away, at the top of the Space Needle, the Emperor, a mysterious young man with a special destiny, gathers his army under the red octopus flag. He is searching for a strange mutant child. A child with tentacles.

Though this is a novel about teenagers, it is not a young adult novel. There’s a lot of profanity, drugs and drinking and plenty of sex and violence, too.

This book is getting some great reviews! Here are just a few of them:

“Teenage post apocalyptic pirates and Lovecraftian monsters!!! This book did not disappoint. Young and Evil is one of the best books I've read in years and its a nice peak at a fantastic new post apocalyptic fantasy world, one i hope I can return to soon.

Great characters, tons of violence, and great humor, this book really isnt for younger readers. It can be pretty graphic with the sex scenes and the gore, but I love that. Please, anyone who hasn't read this, please do and help Mr. Orser get his name known!!!! This book was awesome and now I just want a sequel!”

“Young and Evil is the appropriately titled tale of a post apocalyptic scenario in which a mysterious disease wipes out the population over 16 years of age leaving children to fill the roles of adults. Be warned: this ain't Bugsy Malone and it certainly isn't a young adult novel. It's a bit disturbing and shamelessly vulgar but a hell of a lot of fun. As in A Clockwork Orange you'll find children behaving very badly and the author continually reminds you of this fact. Deal. It's a fantasy. A thoroughly enjoyable fantasy with many surprises and a nice twist that will put you in mind of a certain reclusive New England writer.”

“'Young and Evil' is not for the squeamish person. There is a lot of graphic violence in it, reminding me of All Quiet on the Western Front Publisher: Ballantine Books, another great book. This story, as the author admits, is not written for teenagers, although it is the kind of book many teenage boys would no doubt enjoy.”

As their friendship grows Joe finds himself in an increasing dangerous and murky world of violence and revenge. As Joe’s life collapses around him he starts to question who Piggy really is, and how honest he's really been with him. When Joe confronts Piggy a series of events are put in place that lead to a disastrous climax.

With an electrifying performance from Paul Anderson in the title role, PIGGY signals the arrival of director Kieron Hawkes as a major new force in gritty British cinema.
