I remember seeing Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the middle of the 90s, almost two decades after it was released, and being blown away by it. It was dirty, gritty, harsh, violent, sadistic and raw. It was one of my first true forays into horror, and it stuck with me. It remains one of my favourite examples of the genre to this day. Since then there have been many films released that have attempted to replicate the tone of Hooper’s demented masterpiece. There have been homages, there have been rip-offs and there have been a whole range of sequels, prequels and remakes. Wrong Turn, Inbred, Slaughterhouse and so-on, and so-forth. Butchers, then, is an...

Before every review I write, I watch the movie and then I background search the actors, the director, the writer, etc. When I went to check out Inbred on IMDb, I saw the cover art they have on display and the very first thing I thought was “that movie looks pretty rad.”

What a deception.

Inbred has been in the works since 2011 and it’s finally hitting American shores this month. Alex Chandon, director and co-writer behind this piece, has done very little before. His short filmography includes a Cradle of Filth music video so at least he has some experience behind the camera. Paul Shrimpton, the other co-writer, makes his debut with the film and it’s easy to see that. Between the two of them they create a watchable, albeit lackluster, British Wrong Turn.

The Mole Man of Belmont Avenue Trailer and Release Details: “Two years ago, the Mugg Brothers, who have never worked a day in their lives, inherited a brownstone apartment building. In that short time, their slacker ways have run the building into the ground. Tenants are moving out, no one drinks at the bar downstairs, and the building’s pets are going missing. If all that isn’t enough to make them sit up and take notice, they soon discover a mysterious creature is hiding in the basement and trying to...

After impressing in horror film Inbred, actor Chris Waller will be seen next in the follow up to the highly successful 2011 remake of Fright Night which started filming just before Christmas in Romania. He is taking over the role of “Evil” Ed Thompson (previously played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse) in the film due to be released on DVD later this year.

Waller is not the only name announced for Fright Night 2. He joins Will Payne who takes on the role of Charlie, played by Anton Yelchin in the 2011 version. Sean Power replaces David Tennant as Peter Vincent, alongside franchise newcomers Jaime Murray (Dexter), Sacha Parkinson, John-Christian Bateman, Liana Margineanu, Alina Minzu, Adi Hostiuc and Joelle Coutinho.

Fright Night 2 is set to go direct to DVD and the official synopsis goes like this:

When high school student Charlie attends a study abroad program with his horror obsessed friend “Evil” Ed and ex-girlfriend Amy in Romania,...

With Eduardo Rodriguez in the director's chair and gorgeous Brit actress Jaime Murray -below ('Hustle', 'Spartacus: Gods of the Arena', 'Dexter') already lined up to play the main vamp this time around it seems that 'Fright Night 2' is definitely going to happen. The Fox Home Entertainment project which will be shooting straight to DVD and likely underwhelm all whom manage to catch it has scored a new trio of cast members that will obviously be replacing the whole of the original cast. So here we go...Will Payne ('Elfie Hopkins') takes Anton Yelchin's place as Charlie Brewster, Irish actor Sean Power replaces David Tennant as Peter Vincent and finally Chris Waller ('Inbred') takes over from Christopher Mintz-Plasse as 'Evil' Ed - yes, that's right the Dead vampire....

Some casting news for the direct to video sequel(?) Fright Night 2 has come our way, and it continues to both befuddle and intrigue us as to just what the hell this project actually is. We'll find out soon as filming is now under way in Bucharest, Romania.

Inbred's Chris Waller has landed the lead role of “Evil” Ed Bates in Fox Home Entertainment’s Fright Night 2. Christopher Mintz-Plasse played “Ed” in the remake and the character was already killed off. Why he's back is anyone's guess. Will Payne will play the lead role of Charlie, which was played by Anton Yelchin in the 2011 version. Sean Power is playing Peter Vincent and they will all star alongside “Dexter”'s Jaime Murray, Sacha Parkinson, John-Christian Bateman, Liana Margineanu, Alina Minzu, Adi Hostiuc and Joelle Coutinho.

Synopsis

When high school student Charlie attends a study abroad program...

Director: Alex Chandon. Writers: Alex Chandon and Paul Shrimpton. Cast: Jo Hartley, Seamus O'Neill, James Doherty, James Burrows, Neil Leiper, Chris Waller, Nadine Rose Mulkerrin, Terry Haywood, Damien Lloyd-Davies, Derek Melling, Mark Rathbone and Dominic Brunt. Tagline: "They came in peace...they left in pieces." Inbred is a little indie horror production from the United Kingdom and director Alex Chandon (Cradle of Fear). Chandon brings his years of experience in digital special effects to this title in bloody fashion. Very gory, Inbred is a tale of several youths sent up to the north of England to find reform with two social workers. They find a group of blood-thirsty town folk who need more bodies for their terror filled carnival. Thus, outsiders and locals collide in this horror production, which is filled with hilarious moments of dark comedy. Tim (James Burrows), Zeb (Terry Haywood), Sam (Nadine Mulkerrin) and Dwight (Chris Waller) are the dysfunctional kids.

Since these appear to be the last two stories from Day 3 of Afm, we're combining them into one. We have Us distro news on Alex Chandon's Inbred and word of a new creature feature from Toby Wilkins.

Per Variety, XLrator Media has acquired all Us rights to Chandon's horror comedy Inbred (review here), starring Jo Hartley, James Doherty, Seamus O'Neill and James Burrows. The film, written by Chandon and Paul Shrimpton, follows four young urban offenders and their care workers as they embark on a community service weekend in the strange, remote Yorkshire village. A minor incident with some local inbred youths rapidly escalates into a nightmare for all involved.

Next, per Bloody Disgusting, Stealth Media is getting behind "Teen Wolf" and Splinter director Toby Wilkins' latest creature feature, Dead Sand, which will star Amber Heard (Machete Kills, Zombieland, and Drive Angry) . The story involves "two humvees [that] tear across a desert.

Every year, Rue Morgue Magazine teams up with the Toronto After Dark Film Festival crew to co-present one film during Tadff. This year, that film was Inbred, from UK Director Alex Chandon (Cradle of Fear). Unlike previous years’ Cinemacbre screenings during Tadff, this film wasn’t one that was squarely on my radar. Though I had heard a lot of buzz about it online – mostly relating to its violence and gore – I just never bothered to go digging for more info. Well, as it turns out, the violence and gore in the film is really the only reason to watch Inbred, and while it certainly delivers the juicy stuff by the bucketload, the rest of the film is an exercise in grueling mediocrity.

Inbred’s premise is simple: A group of troubled teens head to the rural countryside with their caretakers to try and fix up an old house, where they will be vacationing.

Alex Chandon is a modern jack of all trades. A rare blend of both old school horror techniques and modern understanding. His new film Inbred has been haunting me for over a year. So much so that I needed to exorcise the demons with a sit-down called 13 Question Marks of Horror! 1. What was the first film or experience that started your love affair with horror? I guess seeing Jaws when I was 7. It changed my life and got me into sharks wh…...

UK/Germany, 2011

If you’re acquainted with Karl Pilkington, the most idiosyncratic and avant-garde thinker of the 21st century, then you’ll know that Northerners are “a bit weird, innit?” In the United Kingdom, Northerners are the equivalent to American Southerners (or, if you’re Canadian, anyone outside Toronto), and are often at the brunt of aren’t-they-poor, aren’t-they-backwards, aren’t-they-stupid, and, yes, even aren’t-they-inbred jokes. A country’s regional divide can serve as fodder for socio-economic and cultural insight, or gory and insular hillbilly horror; Inbred dabbles in the former, but ultimately ends up being the latter. If Deliverance and The Hills Have Eyes came together and got to know Kes in the biblical sense, Inbred would be their unholy offspring; a film that combines grindhouse and slaughterhouse.

The story follows four juvenile delinquents from...

Hey everyone! Jeff here with a quick recap of Day Two of the Toronto After Dark 2012 film festival. Today was a little bit quieter, as I was still recovering from lack of sleep, but I did see one film that I very much like. The other? Well, we’ll get into that in a minute…

Luckily, when I got to the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema, I was able to get a good seat, which always makes the screening more enjoyable. As usual, the first film was preceded by a Canadian-made short. This time around, it was Jovanka Vuckovic’s The Captured Bird. Seeing as Vuckovic Vuckovic used to be the Editor In Chief over at Rue Morgue Magazine, there has been a lot of buzz about this short; which is also her first foray into filmmaking. Essentially, the film tells a tale...

When you're watching a movie called "Inbred", you have to set aside some expectations, I suppose. For starters, you're probably not going to get a super-sophisticated treatise on the ever-widening gulf between the rich and the poor, and it's probably also unlikely that this will be a hard-hitting exploration of the unfortunate effects of breeding in too narrow of a gene pool. But if you've seen a movie or two, you can't be faulted for expecting it to be either a gruesome or perhaps blackly comic horror picture in the vein of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "The Hills Have Eyes". "Inbred" definitely owes a lot to those films, and director Alex Chandon does a decent job of keeping the squirm and ick factor high, but most clearly wants this latest Hillbilly Horror entry to be ironically funny. There are admittedly a few surprises here and there, but they're deflated...

Inbred

Stars: Jo Hartley, Seamus O’Neill, James Doherty, James Burrows, Dominic Brunt | Written by Alex Chandon, Paul Shrimpton | Directed by Alex Chandon

Up north we don’t like outsiders in Yorkshire coming and trying to take over. We live on farms and drink at the local pub and keep our shotguns ready just in case… well not really, but there are a few villages with their local pubs where outsiders are frowned on and strangers watched with a nervous and distrusting eye. This is the world of the League of Gentlemen, American Werewolf in London, Emmerdale, and now Inbred.

The premise for Inbred is quite simple really; a group of young offenders (from the look and sound of them “southerners”) are taken on a weekend trip into the countryside of Yorkshire. They soon find themselves lost in the village of Mortlake where the locals like to spend their time...

Rural Middle America has long been home to some of the most thrilling and grotesque horrors of recent memory. The key thing is that the USA is so huge that conceivably there could be all manner of horrors occurring in the more remote corners and nobody would know until it’s too late. It’s why films like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes work so well. When you try to adopt this to a smaller country like the UK then you run into a problem of believability as well as the likelihood of offending pretty much everyone who lives in the area. The good news is that despite a rather dim and stereotypical view of those who live in the North, Inbred is lots of offensive and gore-drenched fun.

The setup is so simple it almost doesn’t matter and will not figure into your enjoyment...

Director: Alex Chandon. Review: Adam Wing. Anyone sitting down to watch Inbred, the latest in a long line of mutant family horrors, would be well advised to persevere. Alex Chandon’s fright-fest arrives on DVD this month with the tagline, “They came in peace… they left in pieces”, and early evidence suggests an even greater lack of creativity. Swamped in annoying stereotypes, hackneyed plot twists and horror cliché, at first glance Paul Shrimpton’s script appears to get everything wrong. It’s not until the delirious final act kicks in that you realise you were probably missing the point. Inbred borrows heavily from the likes of An American Werewolf in London, The Hills Have Eyes and Deliverance in order to set up it’s story, and the petty theft continues long after that. Shrimpton and Chandon have probably spent a lot of time watching recent French offerings too (The Ordeal...

Two years after the death of scream queen Ingrid Pitt, the Scandinavian beauty who bewitched audiences in such horror classics as The House that Dripped Blood, The Vampire Lovers and Countess Dracula, a new generation of fans are honouring her memory.

From the Press Release:

Attend the first annual Ingrid Pitt's Queen of Horror Festival in Old Town Hastings, UK, October 26th-28th, 2012.

Ms. Pitt's versatile career spanned from being an author, appearing as the subject of an Oscar-nominated cartoon (Ingrid Pitt: Beyond the Forest ), and narrating tracks for black metal rockers Cradle of Filth. Her iconic status has attracted numerous followers, including the legendary writer James Herbert and actor Johnny Deep.

The festival is a weekend of horror fun in a style that's lacking in the UK horror scene, including such horrors as a Scream Queen competition with the winner heading to New York, masked ball, Ingrid Pitt films with Q&A's,...

To mark the release of Inbred from 8 October, we’ve got three copies of the film on Blu-ray and three Inbred T-shirts to give away!

Inbred, Directed by Alex Chandon (Cradle of Fear), is one of the most hotly anticipated genre films of 2012. Officially selected for 2011’s Frightfest, the film has grown and grown in notoriety and now the wait is finally over as this dark, witty, yet hilariously twisted tale is unleashed on DVD/ Blu-ray this 15 October.

Starring Jo Hartley (This is England 86/88, Ill Manors) and Seamus O’Neill (Dead Man’s Shoes, War Horse) as well as upcoming stars; James Burrows (Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood) and Nadine Rose Mulkerrin (Waterloo Road), Inbred boasts some stunningly realistic visual effects as well as an appearance from The Horror Channel’s Emily Booth and an unexpected but inspired cameo from Emmerdale’s Dominic Brunt as a chainsaw wielding henchman called ‘Podge.

Alex Chandon's grim, grimy, and funny Grand Guignol style film Inbred has a brand new poster, which in my opinion kicks ass. Being the old geezer I am, and growing up on painted style posters, this piece of throwback style art is right up my darkened alley. It's no secret to those that know me that I have been calling Inbred the best gory genre offering in a long, long time. Harkening back to classics such as An American Werewolf In London, The Hills Have Eyes, and a plethora of what I call "Cornish Terror Flicks", this tale of a group of troubled youth and their counselors running afoul of a very nasty clan of "inbred" townsfolk on a very unlucky weekend is essential viewing...

Welcome horror fans to the UK debut of the October edition of Horror Bites, the Horror Channel’s monthly guide to some of the highlights coming your way in October… Yes, you did read that right folks, our good friends at the Horror Channel have let us have the exclusive UK debut of their monthly show Horror Bites.

Killing Them Softly (18)

(Andrew Dominik, 2012, Us) Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini. 97 mins

With a cast like that, no prizes for guessing this is a gangster movie. But despite the well-trodden ground, it finds its own patch thanks to an up-to-date landscape of economic hardship and all-round criminal incompetence. Thus, Pitt's suave assassin breezes into town to clean up a mess, but only gets caught in a bigger one. It's tough, violent stuff, but with a certain sleazy finesse.

Savages (15)

(Oliver Stone, 2012, Us) Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Blake Lively. 130 mins

Stone gives up the politics and returns to crime, with a violent thriller involving two pot-growing California dudes and their run-in with a Mexican drug cartel.

Hysteria (15)

(Tanya Wexler, 2011, UK/Fra/Ger/Lux) Hugh Dancy, Maggie Gyllenhaal, 99 mins

The invention of the vibrator and the phenomenon of women's "hysteria" are viewed with jaunty decorum but some political savvy in this Victorian romcom.

★☆☆☆☆ What do you get if you cross The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) and Straw Dogs (1971), with a dash of The League of Gentlemen black humour? Answer - Inbred (2011), the new comedy horror from director Alex Chandon. We start with four young offenders, Zeb (Terry Haywood), Dwight (Chris Waller), Sam (Nadine Rose Mulkerrin), and Tim (James Burrows), along with their minders Kate (Jo Hartley) and Jeff (James Doherty), off for a weekend of bonding and rehabilitation in the wilds of Yorkshire.

With Alex Chandon’s Inbred gearing up for a 21 September UK theatrical release (with DVD/Blu-ray following on 15 October), we got word the fictional residents of Mortlake are taking a stab at the music charts with the release of the film’s gap-toothed musical number “Ee By Gum.”

Sing along now!

Synopsis

Four young urban offenders and their care workers embark on a community service weekend in the strange, remote Yorkshire village of Mortlake, which prides on keeping itself to itself. Visiting the local pub, ‘The Dirty Hole,’ which serves home-made (and suspiciously hairy) pork scratchings, they quickly realise they’ve made the wrong holiday choice. A minor incident with some local inbred youths rapidly escalates into a blood-soaked, deliriously warped nightmare for all involved, and it’s just a case of who will survive and what will be left of them?

From my experience, horror films are always the most interesting but least attended films at smaller film festivals as festival audiences seem to be more interested in stories about losing your virginity than werewolves and zombies. However, two venues in Telluride, Colorado hope to serve that small group of dedicated art-house horror fans with three days of horror films from around the world at the 3rd annual Telluride Horror Show.

In a Balkan brothel, where girls kidnapped by soldiers in war-torn zones are prostituted to the military and civilians alike, Angel (Robin Day) is the deaf mute orphan enslaved to care for the inmates. But unbeknownst to her captors, she moves between the walls and crawlspaces of the seasoning house planning her escape. Psychological horror in the nerve-shredding Alfred Hitchcock and Roman Polanski style but with an ultra-modern twist.

(In one sentence: it's a freakshow slaughter contest between hoodies and hillbillies...) Over the years the focus of the Imagine Film Festival Amsterdam has shifted somewhat. When it started decades ago it was primarily a horror festival, with science fiction and fantasy creeping in on occasion. That has changed with the current program being much wider than just a few genres, and the festival's name has changed to accommodate that shift. But Alex Chandon's "Inbred" would have fitted in this festival from day one. A low-budget rural horror film with too much gore and references to ever be called "mainstream", it seems to be tailor-made for festivals like these. Is it any good though? Well, it is certainly skillfully done but you need a certain...
