SUCK, the Best Rock n' Roll Vampire Flick
A STRUGGLING BAND FINDS FAME � AND AN UNQUENCHABLE THIRST� AFTER BECOMING VAMPIRES IN THIS ROCKIN�, COMEDY SWOOPING ONTO DVD AND BLU-RAY THIS FALL
Directed by and Starring Rob Stefaniuk, this 2010 Theatrical and Official Selection of Toronto and SXSW Stars Malcolm McDowell, Jessica Par�, Dave Foley, Henry Rollins and Moby Along with Rock Icons Iggy Pop, Alex Lifeson and Alice Cooper
IN STORES SEPTEMBER 28
PORT WASHINGTON, NY � �Twilight meets True Blood with a dash of Rock Star[1]� in SUCK, a rock-n-roll vampire spoof arriving on DVD and Blu-ray this Fall, from Entertainment One. Fresh off of a series of theatrical screenings across the country, SUCK follows a bottom-shelf bar band that�ll do anything for a record deal. After a life-changing encounter with a vampire, they rocket to stardom only to discover that fame and fortune are not all they are cracked up to be. Featuring an all-star ensemble, riotous cameos from rock icons along with a killer soundtrack � and arriving while our culture is transfixed by all things vampiric � SUCK is sure to be devoured by horror lovers and music fans alike, when the DVD and Blu-ray versions ($24.98 SRP each) are unleashed on September 28.
The Winners are a go-nowhere rock band, living out of the back of a hearse, which is also doubling as their �tour van.� When their disgruntled manager (Dave Foley, �NewsRadio�, �The Kids in the Hall�) tells them that they are getting �long in the tooth,� he doesn�t know that his words are truly prophetic. During a road trip, however, their humdrum image radically changes after bass player Jennifer (Jessica Par�, Hot Tub Time Machine, Wicker Park), disappears one night with a hip, goth vampire (played by Dimitri Coats of the band Burning Brides). Shortly thereafter, she emerges, lacking more pigment than usual, but possessing a new sexually-charged charisma that drives the audiences wild.
As the band members succumb one by one to blood lust, their new �gimmick� launches them into the limelight. Following an incident on a national radio show with �Rock�n Roger� (Henry Rollins), they hit mega-stardom beyond their wildest dreams. But fame comes with a price as Joey (Rob Stefaniuk), the front man, is haunted by a sinister bartender (Alice Cooper), who turns out to be much more. Meanwhile, legendary vampire hunter, Eddie Van Helsig (Malcolm McDowell, Halloween, �Entourage�,A Clockwork Orange), is tracking them down, despite his fear of the dark. When a veteran music producer (Iggy Pop) calls them on becoming a vampire freak show, they begin to realize that the thirst for fame may not be worth the price of their souls.
A wild ride down the highway to hell, SUCK also boasts a soundtrack that includes Iggy Pop�s, �TVeye� and �Success�; Alice Cooper�s, �I am a Spider�; Lou Reed�s Velvet Underground�s �Sweet Nuthin�; David Bowie�s, �Here Comes the Night� and The Rolling Stones, �Sympathy for the Devil.�
The DVD and Blu-ray editions of SUCK both include a mesmerizing collection of extras, including the comprehensive making-of featurette �Down to the Crossroads or: How to Make a Movie SUCK,� an audio commentary track, and Burning Bride�s music video for �Flesh and Bone.� The DVD for SUCK is presented in 16x9 anamorphic widescreen with 5.1 Surround Sound. On Blu-ray, the film is presented with DTS-HD Master Audio. Both releases include English SDH Subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Grimm Up North Film Festival, horror sci-fi movie fest, Manchester, UK
Date: Oct 28-31
Venue: The Dancehouse, Manchester, UK
FILMS:
This year's films include: Aliens vs Ninjas, Reel Zombies, Evil: In the Time of Heroes (aka To Tako 2) and Slice.
GUESTS:
Special guests this year include Ramsey Campbell, David Moody, Christopher Priest, Grenville Charles, Scott MacIntyre, Conrad Williams and Richard Evans.
EVENTS:
This year's events include seminars on adapting a novel into a movie, making monsters, exploring how artificial intelligence has been portrayed in movies, and a comedy stage adaptation "How to Survive A Zombie Apocalypse."
ABOUT:
It�s grim up north, as the saying goes. But now every Halloween in Manchester � it�s GRIMM UP NORTH!
Tales of mystery, terror and the supernatural have always been with us, since the first cavemen crowded around the campfire. Forming the basis of our legends and fairytales, they are how we deal with our fears and make sense of our world. At Grimm Up North, we want you to celebrate those fears and challenge those perceptions, by offering a boundary-pushing, perception-challenging experience of the unknown and the fantastic.
Launched in 2009, Grimm Up North started as it means to go on. The inaugural festival screened 25 features, including 15 premieres, many featuring Q&As and seminars with directors, cast and crew. Last year we screened movies from Japan, Finland, Germany, Romania, Canada and Australia. Many of the award-winning international movies were UK premieres and for some will have been their only UK outing on a big screen � indeed some may never get a UK release at all.
We screened films as diverse as the Tarkovsky-influenced SAUNA from Finland and Romanian art house vampire movie STRIGOI. Supporting our homegrown talent, we covered the new wave of UK horror from the micro-budgeted COLIN, to gritty social-realist psycho drama TONY. But we never lost sight of our hardcore genre audience, with sold-out screenings of genre classics DAWN OF THE DEAD and HALLOWEEN, as well as a gala premi�re of THE DESCENT 2 that also featured a Q&A with the cave chiller sequel�s director and cast. Other guests included HELLRAISER�s very own Cenobites and author of The Prestige Ramsey Campbell. We also had an exhibition of work by SFX legend Bob Keen; props, storyboards and production stills from locally-produced shocker SPLINTERED; and a special game room set up by CAPCOM where punters could try out the new RESIDENT EVIL: DARKSIDE CHRONICLES game before its release.
All in all, even if we do say so ourselves, Grimm Up North 2009 was a Hell of a festival. It created impact at a national and international level, and in its very first year was being reviewed favourably. We intend to build on this � to truly put Manchester on the festival map with film distributors and movie fans alike.
And we�re not limiting ourselves to cinema, either. We want to spread a little GRIMMness across all of the arts and sciences. This year we are partnering with other festivals and organisations such as the Manchester Science Festival and The Manchester Literary Festival to bring more diverse, interactive events. These will include films with live musical accompaniment, a look at book to screen adaptations, and explorations of the scientific truths behind horror, fantasy and SF. There will be seminars, workshops and more. We�ll even be doing a couple of scary movies matinees in association with the Family Friendly Film Festival � we want to hook in your kids while they�re young and impressionable!
Grimm Up North: A festival of horror and fantasy, taking place on the last week of October in Manchester UK.

Free NIGHT OF THE DEMONS showing in NYC
FANGORIA will host a free screening of director Adam Gierasch�s horror remake NIGHT OF THE DEMONS at the Cinema Village (22 East 12th Street, off University Place) on Friday, October 15 at 11:30 p.m. Gierasch co-wrote the new film with longtime partner Jace Anderson, the two having previously collaborated on AUTOPSY, TOOLBOX MURDERS, MOTHER OF TEARS, MORTUARY and the upcoming FERTILE GROUND. Gierasch will introduce the 35mm screening and conduct a Q&A.
The updated DEMONS due out on DVD and Blu-ray October 19 from Entertainment One, follows a bunch of young party animals who spend Halloween night in a haunted mansion, turning into demons and mutilating themselves and their friends. The film boasts a hot cast led by 13 GHOSTS� Shannon Elizabeth as the new Angela (that infernal troublemaker), with stunners like FREDDY VS. JASON�s Monica Keena, LAID TO REST�s Bobbi Sue Luther, TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE: THE BEGINNING�s Diora Baird and THE HAZING�s Tiffany Shepis playing the wild girls who turn into wilder she-demons. TERMINATOR 2�s Edward Furlong heads the male cast, while TRAILER PARK OF TERROR�s Drac Studios provided the film�s eye-popping makeup FX and monsters. The original film�s Linnea Quigley has a cameo.
The Fango NIGHT OF THE DEMONS screening will be a free show; to obtain tickets, send an email to fangoscreening@starloggroup.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . You must list �DEMONS� as your subject line. Offer is good for you and one guest. Plus tell us your full name and whether you want to be added to the FANGORIA newsletter list so we can inform you about future Fango screenings and events. Names will be checked at the door. Offer is first come, first served, and we will confirm your RSVP. Seating is not guaranteed, however. This advance preview is sponsored by Entertainment One.
Gareth Jones of Dread Central called NIGHT OF THE DEMONS �a modern throwback to a simpler era of horror where boobs and blood were the main attraction,� while Steven West of The Horror Review said, �If you see only one movie this year featuring demonic anal sex�make it this one.� And Suspiriorum at Horrorview.com summed up NIGHT OF THE DEMONS as a �shamelessly trashy experience, but one which is solidly entertaining, and a rare remake which doesn�t shame the memory of its progenitor.�
Check out FANGORIA #291 for exclusive NIGHT OF THE DEMONS photos and interviews. And watch this space for more upcoming Fango screenings. See you at the show!

LAST EXORCISM opens Aug 27

Patrick Fabian, Ashley Bell, Iris Bahr, Tony Bentley,

Human Centipede causes controversy
Tim Masters of the BBC reported that the film "The Human Centipede" is causing quite a stir. The movie is about a twisted doctor that captures people and performs hideous experiments on them. In this movie, he creates a triple conjoined "centipede" out of three unlucky victims. The film plays on the horrors carried out in Nazi Germany during WWII and uses that emotion to its advantage to upset the viewer.
The imagery is enough to make some people ill, while others have found it quite funny. Tim Maters reported that the Japanese fans laughed during the screening. Perhaps that is because they are used to monster movies.
Tim Masters went on with an interview Tom Six, the writer and director of "The Human Centipede". Read the interview here.

HATCHET II slashes ties with MPAA, out Oct 1
Dark Sky Films, a division ofMPI Media Group, announced today that in anticipation of the upcoming Halloween horror movie season, Adam Green's HATCHET II will be distributed in theaters across the country beginning Oct 1. The film will be released without an MPAA rating, marking the widest release of an unrated genre film in more than 25 years.
AMC Theatres, under its AMC independent program, will be exhibiting HATCHET II in the top 20 markets across the country. Vitagraph Films is serving as theatrical distributor.
The announcement regarding the HATCHET II release was made jointly by Adam Green with MPI Media Group's Senior Vice President of Acquisitions Greg Newman.
A ferociously fun tribute to the old-school horror sensation slasher movies of the 80's, HATCHET II is the follow-up to the popular original film, which was released theatrically in 2007 and became a sleeper-hit, gaining a wide following on DVD. The cast of HATCHET II features a cavalcade of horror movie icons including Danielle Harris (HALLOWEEN) and Kane Hodder (FRIDAY THE 13th), reprising his role as serial killer Victor Crowley. Also starring are Tony Todd (CANDYMAN) and R.A. Mihailoff (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE).
HATCHET II is having its world premiere this week in London at Fright Fest, the UK's premiere horror and fantasy film festival.
Director Adam Green said, "Having a movie as graphically over the top as HATCHET II come out in major theatres unrated is an absolute dream come true -- not only for the genre fans but for the entire make-up effects crew who normally have to watch their amazing achievements get sliced and diced for theatrical release. This is an important event for the horror genre and I hope the real horror fans support HATCHET II and help change the way genre films are released theatrically from this day forward. Kudos to Dark Sky Films and AMC theaters for truly honoring the spirit of old school American horror and doing this right. Gorehounds won't know what hit them!"
Dark Sky Films' Newman added, "We are thrilled that audiences will not have to wait for a director's cut or unrated version of Adam Green's HATCHET II. On October 1st fans will have the opportunity to see Hatchet II in theaters exactly as it was intended to be seen: full-on, uncut and uncensored! We hope that this unrated release of HATCHET II marks a new trend in providing an uncompromised theatrical experience for genre film lovers nationwide."
"Our AMC independent program embraces diverse storytelling of all types," said AMC Theatres' Vice President, Specialty & Alternative Content, Nikkole Dneson-Randolph. "Bringing a story like HATCHET II to our guests is a natural fit during this time of year and we're excited to share the filmmakers' vision on-screen in its intended state."

AFTER DARK FILMS announce "Fertile Ground"
After Dark Films CEO Courtney Solomon continues the momentum of After Dark Originals �A New Brand of Fear� with his announcement of the bonechilling 5th film, Fertile Ground. Writer/Director Adam Gierasch (Autopsy, Night of the Demons) co-wrote this film together with Jace Anderson. The film stars Leisha Hailey (The L Word) and Gale Harold (Queer as Folk, Desperate Housewives).
Emily and Nate Weaver leave the city for the rural comfort of Nate�s ancestral home in the country. Once there, Emily is plagued by horrifying visions and haunted by the ghosts inhabiting their isolated new home. When Nate�s behavior undergoes a strange and fearful metamorphous, Emily fears she might be the latest target in a murderous tradition. Producer Solomon states, �Leisha Hailey is completely convincing as a woman in peril. As the plot thickens, twists and surprises unfold that keep the viewer engaged and in constant suspense.�
Fertile Ground was shot in Iowa, the home state of Executive Producer Stephanie Caleb. Release date for Fertile Ground and all eight Originals is scheduled for January 2011. The series was developed in partnership with Lionsgate.
After Dark Films made an unprecedented commitment to the production of eight original horror films this year under the After Dark Originals �A New Brand of Fear� label, continuing the Company�s mantra of supporting up and coming feature directors. The creation of the Originals slate is just another example of the Company�s commitment to the independent film industry.
Unlike After Dark�s acquisitions slate Horrorfest� � 8 Films to Die For�, After Dark Originals are wholly financed and produced by After Dark Films. The ADO slate runs the gamut of the genre, from paranormal phenomena, black magic, and vengeful ghosts to psychological trauma, murderous psychopaths, vampires and the undead. After Dark polled its fans and is delivering the kinds of movies they asked for!
Writers: Adam Gierasch & Jace Anderson
Director: Adam Gierasch (Autopsy, Night of the Demons)
Cast: Gale Harold (Nate), Leisha Hailey (Emily), JoNell Kennedy (Brittany)

Toronto After Dark Film Festival Aug 13-20
Aug 13 - Aug 20
Toronto After Dark Film Festival is thrilled to officially announce its complete lineup of new horror, sci-fi, action and cult films that will have their regional premieres at our 5th Annual edition this August 13-20, 2010 at the city�s legendary Bloor Cinema. The 16 amazing feature films at the core of the festival include a number that have created a storm of interest on the genre festival circuit as well some more recent finds that will be a treat for fans to to discover!
Highlights include cult horror sensation THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE and the killer tire movie RUBBER that captivated audiences at Cannes! Other fun items on the cinematic menu include Japanese cult mayhem (ROBOGEISHA), supernatural chills (Eli Roth�s THE LAST EXORCISM), brutal Roman action (Neil Marshall�s CENTURION), Billy Zane as a zombie slayer (EVIL IN THE TIME OF HEROES) and Adrien Brody as a psychotic drug dealer (Sundance midnight hit HIGH SCHOOL). AUG 11 Update: Our one-minute festival preview trailer gives fans a good sense of what to expect, with shots from most of the films playing:
Below is the overview of the films screening, along with links to their festival site pages, where you can watch trailers and read more detailed synopses:
OPENING CREATURE FEATURE
We open the festival on a hugely crowd-pleasing note with the International Premiere of the hilarious new monster comedy, THE LAST LOVECRAFT (Fri, Aug 13, 7pm), a story about a group of social misfits battling an assortment of sea monsters trying to take over the earth!
ZOMBIES WELCOME
This year�s ever-popular Zombie Appreciation Night where those dressed as the undead get a special deal on ticket prices, features a double helping of fun zombie carnage: DOGHOUSE (Sat, Aug 14, 7pm), the riotous zombie comedy that took Britain by storm last year is followed by the deranged zombie action flick EVIL IN THE TIME OF HEROES (Sat, Aug 14, 9.45pm) which features none other than Billy Zane as an immortal Greek zombie killer!
JAPANESE TREATS
Fans of outrageous Japanese genre cinema will also be delighted with a double dose of cinematic mayhem this year, in the form of the splatterific sci-fi horror action mashup ROBOGEISHA (Sun, Aug 15, 7pm) and the equally mad and bloody fight sequences that make up much of ALIEN VS NINJA (Mon, Aug 16, 9.45pm) a film that completely delivers on its title!
SCARES IN THE DARK
Those looking for a good fright should check out the hotly anticipated Eli Roth produced new scarefest, THE LAST EXORCISM (Mon, Aug 16, 7pm), as well as the welcome return of our favourite posse of Thai horror filmmakers with five new tales of of fear set to make fans jump out of their seats in PHOBIA 2 (Tue, Aug 17, 7pm)! The creepy new sci-fi thriller CARGO (Sun, Aug 15, 4.15pm) also brings its share of chills, but this time the outbreak of fear takes place on a deep space voyage.
NEW BRITISH INVASION
This year Toronto After Dark showcases three new flicks from some of Britain�s most talented genre filmmakers: whether it�s Neil Marshall�s brutal Roman action piece CENTURION (Wed, Aug 18, 7pm), Philip Ridley�s demonic thriller HEARTLESS (Wed, Aug 18, 9.45pm) or Christopher Smith�s medieval witchcraft tale BLACK DEATH (Thu, Aug 19, 7pm), there�s something to delight any fan who likes their Brit flicks on the dark side.
EXTREME CAUTION HORROR
We feel I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE (Thu, Aug 19, 9.45pm), Anchor Bay�s hugely anticipated and incredibly graphic remake of the already notoriously violent cult classic of the same name, deserves a category unto itself. Don�t say we didn�t warn you!
CULT DISCOVERIES
A fantastic eclectic cast (Natasha Lyonne, Thomas Dekker, Noah Segan, Mink Stole, Peaches Christ, Elvira) chew all kinds of scenery in the velvet curtain movie theatre set cult horror flick ALL ABOUT EVIL (Tues, Aug 17, 9.45pm) that will seem be perfect viewing fare at our very own cult venue, the Bloor Cinema! While a stoner comedy may not seem like the most obvious fit for Toronto After Dark, when you see Adrien Brody�s crazed performance as drug dealer Psycho Ed, amongst too many WTF moments to mention in the Sundance hit HIGH SCHOOL (Sun, Aug 15, 9.45pm), you�ll see why we programmed this offbeat piece of cinematic madness!
BIZARRE HORROR TO CLOSE THE FEST
Toronto After Dark celebrates the end of its 5th Year on a wonderfully bizzarre note: to start with we treat fans with RUBBER (Fri, Aug 20, 7pm), the tale of a Killer Tire with feelings which was perhaps the most talked about horror film at the Cannes Film Festival this year! Then things get even freakier, with our Closing Gala, THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (Fri, Aug 20, 9.45pm) a twisted tale of one scientist�s quest to perfect a disgusting surgical procedure. The film has grossed out fans at festival screenings across the globe, ignited a frenzy on discussion boards and youtube (two milllion views of the trailer and counting), but no-one has dared to screen the film in Toronto� until now!
PLUS: INCREDIBLE SHORTS, GUESTS, PARTIES, PUB NIGHTS!
While the Feature Films at Toronto After Dark typically take centre stage, be sure to also check out SHORTS AFTER DARK (Sat, Aug 14, 4.15pm), a kick-ass collection of outstanding new genre short films from around the world, as well as CANADA AFTER DARK homegrown mini-gems that screen as the opening acts for all our features. We also expect a number of FILMMAKER GUESTS to be in attendance to introduce their films and host Q&As with fans and join us at our SOCIAL EVENTS including After Parties and nightly Pub Socials (details to be announced closer to the festival).
