Strangeness rules trailer for July Massaccesi’s Fish Head (Cabeza De Pescado)
4 hours ago
Fish head soup may be a popular dish but that doesn’t, from what I can tell, have anything to do with July Massaccesi's full length feature debut Fish Head ("Cabeza de Descado"). Written by Fernando Barrientos and Edgardo Sosa, it’s a strange little story of Calvino, a taxidermist whose son Nino suffers from a virus that is mutating him into another being.
Strange? You betcha but it also sounds like an interesting take on body mutation. The title of the film suggests that perhaps only Nino’s head changes which would be a bit strange on its own but I’m willing to guess we’re headed into total body change a la The Fly. It’s a great concept and the trailer suggests a film with interesting visuals; it’s shot in black and white with the occasional flash of colour.
The trailer is pretty mysterious »

The Gaucho Western makes a comeback with Fernando Spiner’s Aballay trailer
6 hours ago
Westerns are a dying breed. Though over the last few years there has been a minor resurgence in the genre with some amazing films (The Proposition, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford…I’m looking at you) the genre is most definitely on the downward slope. What does that mean for niche films within the genre? Only that we see even less of them and in some cases, they're nearly extinct.
That isn’t stopping director Fernando Spiner and Timecrimes producer Eduardo Carneros from taking a run at bringing back the Gaucho Western. Shooting has wrapped on Aballay based on a short story of the same title from Argentine author Antonio di Benedetto. It’s the story of an ill-tempered gaucho who reconsiders his life of crime and brutality after seeing the terror on the eyes of a boy whose father he killed in cold blood. »

8 hours ago
Writer Paul Sloan just dropped us some sweet looking screen grabs from a creature test-shoot done for the upcoming jungle horror, King of Vampires.
Sloan tells us that the creature was created by make up and fx artist Todd Masters with a the specific aim of showing that this vamp is "not a romanticized creature, but a giant savage who lives in remote jungles and caves, like a cross between Tarzan and Kurtz from Apocalypse Now."
Synopsis:
An heiress enlists mercenaries to search the Cambodian jungle for her long lost brother. The journey down river turns bloody; the jungle is haunted by a savage barbarian warlord, who is rumored to be Lord Of The Undead: King Of Vampires.
King of Vampires is shaping up to be a great sounding project with just the right hint of all our favorite genre flavours. With any luck we'll have some more concrete info on it for you soon. »
Six part Pride And Prejudice And Zombies mini series on the way
10 hours ago
Now that the Qe crew is offically back from post-turkey comas we can report on an interesting scoop that appeared amid the glut of unread emails this morning.
It would see that Deadline Productions is adapting Seth Grahame-Smith's trend-setting mash-up novel, "Pride Prejudice and Zombies," into a six-part television event. The news appeared in a tweet from the book's official page, PridePrejudiceZombie.
Not to be confused with Deadline Productions out of Houston, Texas, this Deadline production is run by the same guys who brought Scottish BBC the zaney scifi cop drama, Phoo Action in 2008.
Personally I haven't read Smith's novel yet because, well, I just plain haven't the time, but it's on the pile and I'm sure I'll get to it before the series airs. Has anyone out there actually read it? If so, do you think the world is ready the see the beloved Bennet family beseiged by hoards of the Undead. »
