The 28th century sci-fi horror blood-bath DEAD SPACE is back for its third installment, transporting gamers to the icy planet of Tau Volantis for all new adventures, characters, and a whole host of gory creatures. Fango spoke with executive producer Steve Papoutsis about the latest Necromorph jaunt.

 “…you’re bringing our #deathparty down,” producer Tim League good naturedly jabbed at WE ARE WHAT WE ARE director Jorge Michel Grau as THE ABCs OF DEATH hit VOD on January 31. A mass viewing party on Twitter unfurled to celebrate the anthology in all its unapologetic, brash, bloody glory. Spearheaded by producers League and Ant Timpson, a boozy good time was had by a host of the 26 directors who contributed, fans and filmmakers alike as they imbibed, commented and were generally awed by the insanity on display. League wasn’t far off, though. While the sheer variety of filmmakers involved always meant a spectrum of content, Grau’s is an undeniable, sober standout in a film looking to headbang its life away.

Whether viral videos play a part in the resurgence of the anthology, or not is debatable (but intensely likely), but the varied, all-encompassing subgenre is certainly tailored-fit for web series—a place where the alternative often thrives. Patrick Scott, creator of ZOOCHOSIS is dealing in such.

“I hope you will be just as scared as I am right now, standing in front of you all!” Dutch director Richard Raaphorst sure knew how to introduce the world premiere of his film at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam. While FRANKENSTEIN’S ARMY might not be as nerve-racking as the première of your first horror flick, it sure is a hell-of-a-lot of fun.

Veteran action director Walter Hill has been staging mayhem in Louisiana for several decades now. His debut at the helm, 1975’s HARD TIMES, was shot in New Orleans; he ventured into the bayou for the 1981 action/horror hybrid SOUTHERN COMFORT; and went back to the Big Easy for 1989’s JOHNNY HANDSOME. Now he’s making the city’s streets run red again with the Sylvester Stallone-starring revenge thriller BULLET TO THE HEAD, his first feature in 10 years, which he talks about in this exclusive Fango interview.

Danielle Panabaker has been terrorized on screen by infected maniacs, killer fish and a certain hockey-masked Mr. Voorhees over the past few years, but now she’s the one dispensing death in GIRLS AGAINST BOYS. The actress discusses her starring role in the vigilante shocker, opening today from Anchor Bay Films, in this exclusive interview.

An incredible talent, Marina de Van and her stylistic explorations of disassociation and self-discovery are among the most exciting in international cinema. Where IN MY SKIN (Dans ma peau) graphically announced a provocative new voice, DON’T LOOK BACK (Ne te retourne pas) saw an ascent to a gorgeous visual command of Hitchock-ian suspense. Currently in progress on what’s only her third feature since 2002, the Ireland-set DARK TOUCH, de Van continues her immensely personal journey digging into similar themes, only this time with children and all they suffer.
