Touchdown!

Finally, someone has mixed two of America's favorite past times: football and zombies!

Based on the just-released novel by Ryan Brown, Play Dead was written and directed by Doug Sakmann and Fangoria has grabbed the first trailer for the movie. According to Sakmann, another is coming.

"We will be releasing a more extreme red-band trailer in conjunction with the NYC Zombie Crawl event Sunday, May 30 in Brooklyn," said Sakmann. That will premiere at the Crawl after-party at the new Knitting Factory in Williamsburg. We’ll have Ryan Brown on hand for a meet-and-greet and to sign books, and before the screening we’ll do a Q&A with myself, Ryan and the cast and crew of Play Dead: The Movie. Also, Joe Frantz of MTV’s Jackass and Viva La Bam has put together an amazing behind-the-scenes feature on the making of the project, which will also be...

Adam Ahlbrandt (Sight) is the creator behind the indie horror flick The Burnt House. The first trailer shows characters in dark lighting, with ominous flashes of crazed creatures. The clip is nightmarish and foreboding, but what about the quality of the picture? The online horror magazine Fear.net describes The Burnt House as being "a poetic nightmare." A strong statement from a strong horror supporter. A release date is set for July 6th and from the synopsis there seems to be a lot of conflicting sub-plots to keep the picture entertaining. Have a look at the trailer below and decide if The Burnt House is worth a viewing.

A synopsis for The Burnt House here:

"This is the story of Megan and Joe, a couple who have recently experienced the death of their infant son to Sids. The tragedy has spawned a rift between the two and driven Megan into a secret affair.

Fango got the first word from director/cinematographer Adam Ahlbrandt and producer/FX creator Doug Sakmann about their upcoming feature Children Of Torture. The movie is currently in preproduction, and seeking additional financing for a start date this fall.

Having previously helmed the supernatural features Sight and The Burnt House (on which Sakmann served as a co-producer), Ahlbrandt decided to delve into hardcore horror with this project. “It’s my way of going back to the basics,” he says. “I just wanted to write something that I knew would grab people by the neck and beat their faces into hamburger-like pulp. I felt the need to base this movie more in reality than my previous films; I feel that sometimes it’s scarier to have the knowledge that the things you’re watching have happened and could happen to you. The film was based mostly on cults both past and present,...

We just spoke with Philadelphia Cheese Steak Legend and star of The Burnt House, Tony Luke Jr., and boy did he serve us a happy wiz-covered helping of first details on his upcoming werewolf/vampire/biker flick, Ride into Terror…possibly starring b-movie legend Bruce Campbell! Co-written and starring Luke Jr., The Burnt House is, according to the actor, "very Quentin Tarantino-ish." And with an apparently heavy dose of werewolves, vampires and biker babes, it doesn't appear that he's lying! Luke Jr. also gave us a preview of his upcoming starring role as a mute in another top-secret horror flick! Check out these first details after the jump… About your next horror project… The next film...

This one's for you, low-budget horror movies… you can be whatever you want! You want to be a schlocky blood-spurter of a flick? Go ahead! You want to be a shoddy and amateurish mess? Why not? You want to be a quiet, intense little monster? Yeah, you can be that too. The Burnt House, without the push and pull of a major studio, chooses the third option and builds itself into a poetic nightmare. It's a slow churn to the end, and may not be for every horror fan, but if you've got the patience this is one cool flick. The Burnt House is the low-budget creation of Adam Ahlbrandt, who also wrote and directed the indie horror flick Sight. The story follows Megan...

These day's with foreclosures literally around the corner, a burnt house is better than no house, we suppose. But The Burnt House, a film by Adam Ahlbrandt is not a home you're going to want to move into! After the Sids related death of their infant son, Megan's stifling affair and the death of Joe's mother, Megan and Joe have drifted to say the least. To reclaim their love, they move into Joe's rural childhood home but upon their move, some strange things begin to occur and the bloody past begins to resurface.
