Straight in from the Screamfest Horror Film Festival comes BC's review of Lionsgate's Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, which is said to arrive on DVD in February. "Shelved for years, disowned by its director, and lacking the involvement of original creator Eli Roth, there wasn’t very much to expect out of Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever. But damned if it didn’t actually turn out to be a worthy follow-up, with even more disgusting body part-related deaths, a game cast, and a tone that never veers off wildly into a more serious direction..."

Grindhouse Releasing just sent word that they've secured the right to show 35mm prints of The Evil Dead across the country, with venues and dates to come soon.

Adam Green's Hatchet was a big hit among the B-D staff, and thus we are quite pleased to bring it back to the big screen (in 35mm!) for one night only, as we close out our month long Slasher series at the Cinefamily in Los Angeles. Green and select cast and crew will be on hand for a Q&A, and they will be screening 1-2 of their annual Halloween shorts as a little bonus in between the films. Unfortunately, BC won't be there this time, but fear not - Green has lined up a far more exciting host. Who? You gotta go to find out! 10 bucks gets you Hatchet, plus the gonzo Shakma and Night of the Demon (which BC and Simon Barrett did a commentary track for - check that out HERE). It should be a blast and a great way to send off this year's series. Read on for details how to get free passes! ...Read More
There’s an old song by Crosby, Stills & Nash which sagely urges that “if you can’t be with the one you love, love the one you’re with.” With so many horror films in recent years failing to deliver the sort of thrills that made us genre fans in the first place (Consider the bulk of this year’s theatrical output, if you need proof!), the Schlockfinder General has long labored to heed the advice of those old hippies and try to love even the least lovable of contemporary scare screeners. Of course, some movies are just so awful that they’re destined to be shunned and ignored until they fade from existence. Another old song declares that “you’re nobody until somebody loves you,” and some celluloid stinkers wholly deserve to remain nobodies forever. But often, even the most seemingly indefensible clunker has merits which can be appreciated - and even savored - by an open-minded, fun-loving fright fan. For this reason, I give you THE DEVIL’S ADVOCATE... The third defendant in this court of public opinion? FRIDAY THE 13TH: A NEW BEGINNING! ...Read More

Arriving on DVD January 19 from Lionsgate Home Entertainment is Joel Schumacher's long-delayed Blood Creek (formerly Creek; review). Acclaimed director Joel Schumacher (The Lost Boys, Tigerland) takes the reins of Blood Creek, a tense supernatural horror-thriller concerning two brothers who find themselves at the center of a terrifying occult experiment. In 1936, the Wollners, a German family living in Town Creek, West Virginia, are contacted by the Third Reich to host a visiting scholar.

After 71 years, in 2007, Evan Marshall's life has stalled at 25 years old when he is left without answers after his older brother Victor's disappearance from a camping trip near Town Creek. When Victor returns one night, very much alive, and having escaped his captors, Evan asks no questions.
