Having had a lifetime fascination with large bodies of water and immersing himself in them, it’s probably no surprise that Andrew Traucki, co-writer and -director of the excellent, naturalistic horror film BLACK WATER, would drift out to sea for his follow-up feature THE REEF (see some new, exclusive pics below).

The indie UK horror production INBRED is causing some controversy in its scheduled shooting location of Thirsk. Residents of the town fear that the movie, which involves locals with the titular condition, will lead viewers to think it’s based on fact.

While it hasn’t caused quite the same debate as the new NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, Matt Reeves’ remake of the well-received Swedish film LET THE RIGHT ONE IN has sparked some serious online discussion.

There isn’t a U.S. release date yet, but the Japanese action-horror flick SAMURAI ZOMBIE—written by VERSUS/THE MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN director Ryuhei Kitamura and helmed by popular actor/filmmaker/action choreographer Tak Sakaguchi—is heading for DVD release in the UK. The cover art for the film, a.k.a. YOROI: SAMURAI ZOMBIE, is now on the web.
