We’re barely seconds into Jurassic Triangle when three nameless individuals run past something odd, a pile of logs, a tarp and what looks like a gas-powered garden tiller. Why would that be odd? Because they’re trapped on an uncharted island that’s overrun with dinosaurs and other strange creatures, not the kind of place you can run off to Peavy Mart for some gardening supplies, or hang around long enough to plant a garden for that matter.

The hapless trio quickly become dinner for the dinos, and we cut to Drew is waking up from a nightmare and remembering he’s on a helicopter with Issac, Beth and their pilot Captain “Call me Andy” Rawson.

It’s one of two choppers carrying corporate types...

A psychological drama set in the British countryside, this psychological thriller takes too long to deliver

You might politely describe this werewolf thriller set in the English countryside, in which the werewolf is kept off-camera, as a slow-burn. A devastating revelation awaits us at the end, but for the first two-ish-thirds of the movie we watch a man in a cottage – sometimes with his girlfriend, sometimes without – looking alarmed and perturbed, possibly having a psychotic breakdown. I have to confess it lost me around the 20-minute mark.

The man is William (played by director Wayne David), who is in possession of a prize more precious than gold: a friend with a cottage in the countryside. William is staying there with his girlfriend Chantelle (Sian Altman), who is in heaven, and wonders aloud if they should relocate. William is less impressed, griping at the quality of the coffee in the village cafe.

Wolf Garden: "William has gone into hiding in the countryside following horrifically violent events. Struggling to come to terms with reality, he flashes between the past and present, and fantasies involving the woman he loves, Chantelle. As his sanity crumbles, he begins to feed an unseen creature locked inside a shed in the woods. Witnessing apparitions of a ghostly visitor, he realises he must kill the creature and discover a terrible truth about Chantelle before the next full moon."

Starring: Wayne David, Sian Altman, Grant Master & Jake Wood

Wolf Garden is available now on Amazon Prime, iTunes, YouTube, Vimeo & Xbox

The post In the tradition of It Follows, “Wolf Garden” – Out Feb 28, 2023 appeared first on Horror News | Hnn.

We move from February into March this week, which means the arrival of Scream VI is now just over one week away. But before we get there, we’ve got other fresh horrors to consume.

This week, Six brand new horror movies will be released, and included in the mix is the latest installment in a long-running franchise based on a classic Stephen King horror novel.

Here’s all the new horror arriving February 28 – March 5, 2023!

For daily reminders about new horror releases, be sure to follow @HorrorCalendar.

First up, Gravitas Ventures unleashes Wolf Garden via On Demand outlets today (February 28), being described by Gravitas as a “elevated horror picture in the tradition of It Follows.”

Written and Directed by Wayne David, Wolf Garden tells the blood-curdling story of William (Wayne David), a young man who disappears upon experiencing haunting visions of the woman he loves and a mysterious creature in the nearby woods.

Plot: William and Chantelle’s vacation in the countryside goes terribly wrong, leaving Chantelle missing and William hiding in the wilderness, fearing the next full moon.

Review: Chances are that any genre fan who decides to check out the horror movie Wolf Garden (watch it Here) is going to, given the title, expect the film to fit into a certain sub-genre – and since distributor Gravitas Ventures is marketing the film as “An American Werewolf in London meets Vertigo”, I suppose it’s safe to confirm that Wolf Garden is a werewolf movie. Of sorts. It just might be the most economical werewolf movie ever made. Even more so than that Howling movie that primarily seemed like a documentary about a Pioneertown honky-tonk. Don’t go into this one hoping to see much in the way of cool special effects, but do go into it aware that it’s a slow...

In the dead of night in the British countryside, all is still throughout an isolated house. The silence is initially broken by a ticking clock and a dripping tap, before a howling wolf outside stirs William (Wayne David) awake. This sound is followed by a woman crying in his bathroom, yet a look inside shows nobody in there. Star/writer/director/producer David highlights the situation well, as the lead struggles in isolation while haunted by visions of the woman he loves and a mysterious creature nearby.

The title Wolf Garden suggests what creature lurks outside, although the feature takes a different angle by focusing on the ramifications of the unseen terrors, as captured on people’s faces and in their actions. This decision could be due to budgetary constraints, yet it works...

For his latest video, Kevin is back in the booth to review low-budget schlockbuster Firenado, a movie that does precisely what it says on the tin from writer Tom Jolliffe and directors Rhys Frake-Waterfield & Scott Jeffrey

An accountant for the mob, has to escape a whirlwind of fire while is chased by armed robbers.

Starring Sian Altman, Charlie Boyce, Stuart Falconer, Firenado is out now on VOD and digital. Check out our written review of the film right here.

A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book Winnie-the-Pooh and the characters in it lapsed into the public domain at the start of this year, a fact that has allowed director Rhys Frake-Waterfield to make the upcoming horror film Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey. That movie is set to reaches theatres (though Fathom Events in the US) on February 15th… but before that one arrives, we’ll have the chance to watch a different Frake-Waterfield project. Uncork’d Entertainment has acquired the distribution rights to the disaster movie Firenado, which Frake-Waterfield directed with Scott Jeffrey (Exorcist Vengeance), and they’re planning to give the film a digital release on January 3rd! With that date less than a week away, a trailer for Firenado has arrived online and can be seen in the embed above.

Said to rival the likes of Geostorm and The Day After Tomorrow, Firenado was written by Tom Jolliffe...

Dr. Devlin is on the verge of a breakthrough. I’m not entirely sure what his techno-babble means, even his intern Anna suggests he repeat it in English. Whatever it is it has something to do with controlling a tornado. Of course, it does just the opposite and soon the twister is not only growing at an alarming rate, it’s on fire as well.

Not everyone sees this as a bad thing, however. A gang of thieves sees it as the perfect distraction to let them rob the house of Pierce Moore. He’s a mob accountant who not only gets deliveries of literal boxes of cash, he’s the proud owner of the worst Southern accent in history. Of course, Devlin, Anna, and Devlin’s assistant Helena...

"Shut it down, Craig, it's dangerous!" Uncork'd Entertainment has debuted an official trailer for the next B-movie disaster movie disaster, this one titled Firenado that is indeed about a fire tornado. It's the latest "wildly unique new disaster movie" from filmmakers Scott Jeffrey and Rhys Frake-Waterfield, also behind the crazy slasher Winnie the Pooh: Blood & Honey. An accountant for the mob has to escape a whirlwind of fire while he is chased by violent armed robbers. "Scott and Rhys have done it again. Firenado is rip-roaring entertainment! With great effects, wonderful cinematography and some fun performances, it's a perfect fit for Uncork'd." This B-movie stars Sian Altman, Nicola Wright, Stephen Staley, Toby Wynn-Davies, Gordon Millar, Leah McInnes, Daniel Godfrey, and Charlie Boyce. In addition to just awful VFX, there's a strange masked robbers story stuffed into the plot. Yeah it looks as bad you're probably expecting. ›››

Directed by Don Gronquist, the 1982 horror movie Unhinged is one of 72 films deemed “Video Nasties” back in the 1980s, and Bd has learned today that a new remake is in the works.

Proportion Productions and ChampDog Films are behind the Unhinged remake, with Scott Jeffrey (Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey) on board to produce the new take.

Rebecca J. Matthews and Louisa Warren are also producing the new movie.

The film is set to star Ella Starbuck (Crocodile Vengeance), Betsy-Blue English (Sky Kraken), Sian Altman (Curse of Humpty Dumpty), Toby Wynn-Davies (Area 51 Incident) and Chloe Karr.

Scott Jeffrey tells Bloody Disgusting that the Unhinged remake will be a “very close remake” to the original 1982 Video Nasty, “but sprinkling in a modern setting.”

He also teases, “It will be an incredibly suspenseful and dark film with a shocking twist.”

A director is yet to be attached. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.

It’s the first full week of December, and we’re kicking off the final month of the year with a handful of brand new horror movies – including three Christmas-themed holiday horrors.

It’s that time of the year, after all…

Here’s all the new horror releasing December 6 – December 11, 2022!

First up, Cinedigm and Bloody Disgusting present Argentinian horror movie History of the Occult on Screambox today, which was notably the highest-rated horror movie of 2021 on Letterboxd‘s Year in Review roundup, as rated by Letterboxd users.

From writer/director Cristian Ponce (creator of the animated series “The Kirlian Frequency”), History of the Occult pulls viewers deep into a world of conspiracy and witchcraft.

Filmed in black and white and set in the 1980s, History of the Occult takes place during the last broadcast of the #1 news show on TV, ’60 Minutes Before Midnight.’

“A band of journalists races against time to convince the lead guest,...

One of the earliest films featuring the name Scott Jeffrey, that we reviewed here on Nerdly, was Darker Shades of Elise, a film Jeffrey produced back in 2017 and a film that didn’t really reflect where the rest of the actor turned director/producer’s oeuvre would head. But now Proportion Productions are back, only this time not with a low-budget monster movie, terrifying slasher film or brilliant metaphorical horror. No, with Graphic Desires the company bring us back to another time, the 90s post-Basic Instinct, with another erotic thriller.

With The Rise of the Beast, (originally titled Devolution), producer Scott Jeffrey fills a noticeable hole in his output. He’s given us dinosaurs, dragons, mutated rats, bats, spiders, and even Cthulhu himself. But no killer gorillas, at least not until now.

Damien Smith is explaining Simon’s job to him. He doesn’t make them very clear, but we get the idea it involves analyzing data from experiments on various primates. But Simon has a secret, he, along with Elena, Faith, Andy and Pete (Peter Jeffries; The Area 51 Incident) are part of an animal rights group that’s planning to expose Darrow Corporation’s work. That means dodging some heavily armed soldiers to get footage of the animals they’re torturing in the name of science.

Jack Ayer’s killer gorilla feature The Rise Of The Beast, starring starring Arthur Boan, Sarah T. Cohen, Sian Altman, George Nettleton, Heather Jackson, Rob Kirtley, and Pete Jeffries, will be released December 6 on DVD and Digital from Uncork’d Entertainment. The film, equal parts creature horror and action flick, was produced by Proportion Productions (Exorcist Vengeance, …

Croc! is the latest in a long line of films about crocodiles and alligators seeking revenge on mankind for turning their relatives into shoes and handbags. I’ve often wondered why there’s not more of them actually. Like sharks, these leftovers from the age of dinosaurs have large mouths full of sharp teeth and can be found all over the world. But unlike sharks they can come out of the water after you making them much more of a threat.

Lisa King is getting married and her father Dylan has bagged her a wonderful location for it. He also bagged himself the hostess while he was touring it, but that’s another matter. Right now she’s dealing with a lack of cell reception and stories of missing locals which are scaring the bridesmaids.

HBO Max’s Hungarian arm will run a local version of Banijay survival format The Bridge.

Presented by Csaba Magyarósi, The Bridge Hungary is produced locally by Free Monkeys Production, based on the original Spanish format. Production took place neat Lake Belis in Romania, near the Hungarian border. Deadline understands it was given the greenlight before HBO Max stopped commissioning in the Cee region. Most production staff in Europe have now been let go, as Deadline revealed last month.

It’s usually not a good sign when a film has more than one title, so the fact that H.P. Lovecraft’s Monster Portal has been known simply as Monster Portal, as well as The Offering and Paranormal Cemetery, was a bit troubling. Being a Scott Jeffrey production It was already something of a crapshoot whether or not it would be any good so I approached it with fairly low expectations.

Director Matthew B.C. (Medusa) wrote the script from a story by Jeffrey and Mario von Czapiewski and he certainly gets things off to a good enough start. Peter records a message to his estranged daughter Celine (Sian Altman; The Curse of Humpty Dumpty) before allowing himself to be sacrificed to...

Exclusive: Distribution and sales outfit Mutiny Pictures has added a trio of features to its release slate for this year.

The company has taken North American rights on Born To Be Human, Lily Ni’s queer medical drama which follows a 14-year-old boy who undergoes a metamorphosis without realizing what is going on. Mutiny will release in the fall.

The deal was negotiated by Jonathan Barkan for Mutiny Pictures and Princeton Holt of Hewes Pictures on behalf of Ni and Yi. It was produced by Kevin Yi of Flying Key Movie Co and stars Lee Ling-Wei, Vera Chen, Alice Lee, and Chao-te Yin.

Mutiny has also taken North American rights on erotic cyberthriller Graphic Designs. Written and directed by Andy Edwards, the film was produced by Scott Jeffrey and Rebecca Matthews.
