A few months back, I reviewed a direct to DVD horror release called The Last Resort. Stuck for words about the film’s confusing plot and shaky logic, I started pontificating about the differences between this generation’s direct-to-dvd horror releases and their spiritual heirs, the low-budget sci-fi films of the fifties. I commented that something sincere had been lost between now and then, and now, with The Hills Run Red, I have had that idea exemplified in a way far more eloquent than I stated then. It’s not that the movie is especially good, because it isn’t, but in its aspirations towards wit and its slavish devotion to the slasher films of yesteryear, it reveals more about the gradual shift in horror’s values than an essay or review probably ever could.

According to the opening title graphics, The Hills Run Red came out in the early 1980s,...

We've just got our hands on the final DVD cover art for Dave Parker's The Hills Run Red (trailer), which stars an insanely naked Sophie Monk, Tad Hilgenbrinck, William Sadler, Alex Wyndham, Janet Montgomery, Mike Straub, Ewan Bailey and Danko Jordanov. Arriving on DVD September 29, the story centers on a film fanatic whose obsession with finding a complete print of an infamous slasher movie leads him and two friends into the backwoods where the film was shot. They realize too late that filming never ended -- and now they must survive a nightmarish onslaught or become part of the movie forever.

The upcoming direct-to-disc horror flick, Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead, now has a gore-filled red band trailer. Directed by Declan O'Brien, the film arrives on DVD and Blu-Ray later this year and stars Tom Frederic, Janet Montgomery, Tamer Hassan, Gil Kolirin, Bill Moody, Mike Straub, Chucky Venice and Tom McKay. It pretty much follows the same plot as the previous Wrong Turn’s - a group of people find themselves trapped in the backwoods of West Virginia, fighting for their lives against a group of vicious and horribly disfigured inbred cannibals.

This morning we were the first press to hop on the phone with the pleasurable Declan O'Brien, director of Fox Home Entertainment's forthcoming Wrong Turn 3, which is expected to arrive on both DVD and Blu-ray this fall. Beyond the break you can chew on the first two official stills from the film, alongside our exclusive one-on-one chat with O'Brien about his prisoners vs. backwoods cannibal horror flick that stars Tom Frederic, Janet Montgomery, Tamer Hassan, Gil Kolirin, Mike Straub and Chucky Venice. Are you guys excited for tis? I know I am! "While Fox had journalists on set for the filming of Wrong Turn 2, this time filming went quietly underneath everyones noses. In fact, the third film in the franchise is 100% finished."...Continued...

Alright, my backwoods buddies, it looks like we have some casting announcements for Wrong Turn 3 (which we last wrote on here). Have yourself a look at the latest batch of bodies to do battle with the mutant, forest-dwelling flesh-eaters: Tom Frederic (The Oxford Murders), Janet Montgomery and Mike Straub (both from The Hills Run Red), Tamer Hassan (The Ferryman), Gil Kolirin and Chucky Venice (both from Return To House On Haunted Hill), and Mac McDonald (Transsiberian). Okay, so no...

In addition to the announcement we made here a few weeks ago, we now have an updates cast listing for Fox Home Entertainment's upcoming DVD sequel Wrong Turn 3. Now starring are Tom Frederic (The Oxford Murders), Janet Montgomery (The Hills Run Red), Tamer Hassan, Gil Kolirin, Mike Straub and Chucky Venice (Return to House on Haunted Hill), according to IMDb. Filming is now underway in Sofia, Bulgaria. Fonda and her friends go to the woods for a couple of days. Her friends are killed by the wild, now staple mutant killer, Three Finger, who of course cannibalizes them. She is left to fend for herself, but not for long. Meanwhile some dangerous prisoners are being transferred by Nate Wilson, a prison warden, on his last day before leaving to become a lawyer.
