Yet another release from Brain Damage Films, Poe: Project of Evil is a horror anthology, this time of a higher calibre than the likes of the recently reviewed Dead on Appraisal. A follow-up to P.O.E.: Poetry of Eerie, this film sees some of the original filmmakers regroup for another filmic experiment which brings the tales of Edgar Allan Poe to life through the distinct lens of Italian horror with spoken English. Whilst Poetry of Eerie‘s focus was the poetic and macabre dimension of the infamous Boston author, the sequel Poe: Project...

The theme for this year’s B-Movie, Underground and Trash Film Festival, held in the city of Breda in the Netherlands, is “Apocalypse.” So get ready to watch the world end dozens of different ways on Sept. 5-9 at various venues around the city.
The fun kicks off on the 5th with the German movie Hell by director Tim Fehlbaum. If you didn’t know, “hell” means “bright” in German and, given that title, this flick is set appropriately in a post-apocalyptic future where global warming has decimated the planet and surviving tribes battle for water and food.
Other post-apocalyptic visions include Milan Konjevic’s Zone of the Dead starring legendary zombie killer Ken Foree; Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro’s Bazillian underground hit Beyond the Grave about a world where magic and madness rule the world; and Rob van Eyck’s bizarrely twisted Afterman and Afterman 2.

Boll World Sales is now in post on a new horror being sold at Afm entitled Bloodline,/b>, which was directed by Edo Tagliavini from a screenplay by Mario Calamita. Starring Francesca Faiella and Virgilio Olivari, "Sandra and her colleague Marco are sent by their boss to a hardcore movie set in order to shoot a backstage: everything would appear to be everyday journalistic routine, if the shooting location didnt happen to be the same where, fifteen years before, Sandras little sister was murdered by a serial killer called The Surgeon. Reluctant at first, Sandra will eventually face her fears by accepting the job, only to find herself involved in a new line of murders: whos the Surgeon copycat? And more important, why are his victims coming back to life only to kill again?"...

The Italian gore scene hasn’t been exciting since the late 1980s or when Lucio Fulci fell off, which is why Bloodline is getting all sorts of attention. The film features gore FX from Sergio Stivaletti (Demons, Cemetery Man), which we have pictured below, and will be hitting VOD August 11th, and is directed by Edo Tagliavini. As awesome as this is, it’s also in 3D.
Two twin sisters playing in the woods, one of them is kidnapped and then killed by a murderess called the “Surgeon.” Years later, Sandra, her sister survived, is forced to make a backstage on a set of a porn film, but reappears suddenly the figure of the “Surgeon.” Who is the new “Surgeon”? And the relationship between Sandra and her sister was really cut off?
Now check out the trailer:

Italy has been somewhat of a sleeping giant in terms of its genre output of late. Sure, Dario Argento continues to make movies, but they aren’t a patch on his earlier work. In fact the only movie of any note I can really think of from Italy recently was Last House in the Woods. Of course there have probably been more, although their output doesn’t even scratch the surface of the amount that came out in the period between the 1960′s and 1980′s.
Now, thanks to Euro Obscura, we have Bloodline about to be unleashed on the world. Sure, it is just one movie but hopefully it is the start of a new beginning of Italian genre cinema. For a start it has music by the legendary Claudio Simonetti, add to that SFX by Sergio Stivalletti and your appetite should be suitably whetted. Bloodline is directed by Edo Tagliavini.

It's nice to know that someone out there is thinking about how bad guys, folks that do terrible crimes, pay for their crimes and that for some, it's not just a matter of suffering in life but in death as well.
Enter Edo Tagliavini's Bloodline, an Italian horror film that has been making quiet appearances through various festivals in the past year. It doesn.t look like it's been picked up for distribution but there's a trailer kicking around which has me excited at the prospect of a horror movie that actually delivers on scares rather than just gore. That's not to say there isn't gore, there's plenty of it shelled out in this trailer, but man, it's the kind of over the top stuff I love.
They're really selling this on the fact that it includes VFX and a score work from established artists and it certainly looks pretty gruesome.
