Love and Monsters, another would-be blockbuster that’s bypassing theaters for VOD, is arriving at your home quite soon, as evidenced by the release of the film’s first trailer.
If there’s one thing that the often-visited genre of post-apocalyptic sci-fi cinema needs, it’s a wholesome romance between two young star-crossed lovers. Someone at Paramount realized this, and, this past October, quickly went into development on the project in question, tapping headliners in Dylan O’Brien (The Maze Runner) and Jessica Henwick (Iron Fist).
Michael Matthews directed the picture, having come off his feature debut, the 2017 South African western-style thriller, Five Fingers for Merseilles. He worked off a screenplay by Brian Duffield (Insurgent) and Matthew Robinson (Dora and the Lost City of Gold), based on a story by Duffield.
With that set, check out the Love and Monsters trailer just below.

Iron Fist’s Jessica Henwick and Maze Runner’s Dylan O’Brien will serve as the headliners for sci-fi film Monster Problems.
Monster Problems, a sci-fi film project in the pipeline at contemporary-aimed studio subdivision Paramount Players, appears to be putting a romantic spin on the crowded post-apocalyptic genre. Indeed, it's a coming-of-age tale that centers on a young man searching for the girl of his dreams while navigating a world that, as the title implies, is overrun by monsters.
Jessica Henwick (Iron Fist) will co-star in Monster Problems alongside Dylan O’Brien (The Maze Runner), as first reported by THR. O’Brien is set as the film's protagonist, with Henwick set to play the dream girl for whom he'll brave a global mutant apocalypse.
The film will be directed by Michael Matthews (Five Fingers for Marseilles), working off a screenplay by Matthew Robinson, updated from a previous screenplay by Brian Duffield.

*spoilers ahead.
Director/writer: Gregory Connors.
Cast: Tonia Renee, Bret Kennedy and Ozzie Devrish.
The premise in Alien Undead aka The Dark Lurking is quite simple: all the survivors have to do is to get out alive. When this tale is set in the world of science fiction, all this movie has to do is to have the heroes call for help, find the Starship Enterprise (the ship here brings forth recollections of the Red Dwarf) and call for Scotty to beam them up. That would end the movie fast.
Instead, what this film does is to continue for approximately 95 minutes including credits. Nobody is going to leave alive and that is too abruptly established at the start. Nobody at Outpost 30 even knows their fate, but that certainly will not stop them from trying to make it up to the surface. Maybe if the eight survivors can get out of the hut,...

Alien Undead
Stars: Tonia Renee, Bret Kennedy, Gregory Connors, Ozzie Devrish, Roslyn van Doorn | Written and Directed by Greg Connors
Originally began in 2006, and completed in 2008 (at least according to the copyright info), Alien Undead was originally released as The Dark Lurking in its native Australia, and Aliens vs. Zombies in Germany (perhaps a more fitting title given UK distributor Left Films other DVD releases – Cowboys vs. Zombies and Ninjas Vs. Vampires). This low budget Aussie-lensed sci-fi horror movie tells the story of eight people trapped in a secret underground research facility, at the mercy of a horde of terrifying zombie-like creatures. With supplies and weapons running low the survivors must put aside their differences and band together in order to find out way out alive. However the constantly mutating monstrous hordes are not their only problem, an ancient evil has been unleashed and one of them may not be...
