Review Becky Lea 4 Sep 2013 - 22:00
Whitechapel takes a leaf from Dennis Wheatley's book in this week's occult-related mystery. Here's Becky's review of the series 4 opener...
Never for the faint of heart, Whitechapel kickstarted the new series in suitably grisly fashion as a homeless man was slowly crushed to death by an anonymous assailant. Meanwhile, Di Joe Chandler (Rupert Penry-Jones) and DS Ray Miles (Phil Davis) are celebrating the book launch of their colleague Edward Buchan (Steve Pemberton) before being called away to investigate the latest mysterious murder.
The opening scenes were deftly handled, flitting between the Whitechapel team at Buchan’s book launch to the slow, torturous death of this episode’s mysterious corpse, swiftly re-establishing the show’s unflinching attention to murderous detail. Despite being filmed mostly in shadow, the killing of Alexander Zukanov (David Gant) was possibly one of the series’ most memorable for just how affecting it was.

Created by Beyond: Two Souls developer Quantic Dream, The Dark Sorcerer is a comedy tech demo for the PlayStation 4, and stars actor, David Gant, as the lead role in a video shoot for a fictional fantasy video game.
The video, which is running in real time on the PS4, showcases a collection of impressive visual effects, not to mention some truly staggering facial and character animation. It's a clear indication of the graphical muscle Sony's new console possesses, and it pretty funny to boot.
Although it's simply tech demo for the PS4 at this stage, it's uncertain of the video will develop into something more, but regardless, it's well worth a watch. So, if you missed it at E3, have a look below.

This has absolutely no potential to be exploitive, right? Young naked blond woman with the word “slave” emblazoned behind her head? Nah: When David’s (Sam Page) fiancé Georgie (Natassia Malthe) is kidnapped while on a vacation in Spain, she becomes the trophy of a dangerous and masochistic psychopath known as the White Arab (David Gant). While Georgie fights for her life and her sanity, David must wade through a quagmire of corrupt officials, drug dealers and crazed locals in an attempt to discover her location and rescue her before it is too late. Totally a reasonable and rational and evenhanded treatment of the tough subject of sex trafficking, I’m sure. I mean, look at how the Region 2 version handles it:...

This week is the lightest in recent memory with only four (barely) notable horror releases. Synapse Films' 100th release, Robert Young’s classic Vampire Circus, will be gracing our screens and so will Dear Mr. Gacy, the adaptation of The Last Victim, the memoirs of Jason Moss, who corresponded with serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Read on to see what the other two are.

A little girl is brutally slain by a vampire in a tiny 19th century Austrian village. Seeking revenge, the townspeople invade the foreboding castle of Count Mitterhaus and kill him for the crime.

Lightning EntertainmentLightning Entertainment and Phase 4 Films will deliver another shocker December 14th. The film is called Slave and the plotline follows a shady Arabian businessman, who is building a modern day harem.
