The Dark Hour poster art and theatrical trailer
La Hora Fria"La Hora Fria" (The Dark Hour), will be finally released in Spain next september 14th by catalan distributor Baditri.

"Seven adults and two children live together in a few rooms of a huge building. They cannot or don't want to leave the building. But there is not much food and supplies are running short. According to an old man who lives apart from the community and who takes care of all repairs, everything started during the last great war. Chemical weapons were used that converted most of the population into mindless, sick beings, whose touch alone could be lethal. The infected are called "strangers" and they wander around the building, trying to get in. Then there are the "invisibles", another terrible mutation from the war. These creatures are already in the building. No one can see them. Their presence can only be detected because they make the temperature fall below zero degrees. When the strangers manage to penetrate the building, the small community must fight for their lives."

The Dark Hour is not only a horror film, it is also an exercise in style. One location and a dedicated team of actors are all that is used to disturb, frighten and entertain the audience. This means that terror will come from suggestion and our emotional involvement with the characters will come from our identification with their hopes and fears within an enclosed space. Starring Silke (Tierra, Tuno Negro), Jorge Casalduero (The City of No Limits) and Pepo Oliva (Todo por la Pasta, Celos).

The Dark Hour was written and directed by Elio Quiroga, with Margaret Nicoll as associate producer, and has been shot in digital cinematography, with Jérôme Debève and Juan A. Ruiz as visual effects supervisors in La Huella FX. Luis Sánchez Gijón is the editor. The film had a strong postproduction visual effects work with Régis Barbey as color timer and Angel Luis Fernández as DOP (Fernandez has worked for spanish directors Pedro Almodóvar, Fernando Trueba or Víctor Erice). Pablo Fernández Valbuena, winner of the GgTalk CG Choice Award has been the creature designer.

The film cast: Silke, Nadia de Santiago ("Alatriste"), Omar Muñoz ("Ausentes"), Julio Perillán ("Frágil", "Moscow Zero"), Pepo Oliva ("Héctor"), Jorge Casalduero ("En la Ciudad sin Límites"), Sergio Villanueva ("La Luz Prodigiosa"), y Pablo Scola ("La Luna en Botella"). Washington born Julio Perillán has been selected by Woody Allen for "Midnight in Barcelona", with Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson.

The Dark Hour has been sold to 10 countries by Lightning Entertainment.

Cinema Epoch aquire Amateur Porn Star Killer
The shocking debut feature, AMATEUR PORN STAR KILLER, by Shane Ryan, has just been acquired by Cinema Epoch and Koch Entertainment, due in stores November 6, 2007. The filmmakers are planning on some midnight shows in Los Angeles in late August.

The DVD will include filmmaker/actor interviews, a “crime scene drive thru”, trailers, DVD notes, and five short films by Shane Ryan, including the award-winning “So, We Killed Our Parents” and the sexploitation black & white short “The Cold Heat.”

AMATEUR PORN STAR KILLER was shot at the end of 2004 and completed post-production in early 2005. At the beginning of 2006 the film was slightly re-cut and instantly starting making an impact in the underground world of horror.

Film Threat called the film “very realistic and utterly unforgettable”. Pretty Scary called it “unsettling, and downright mesmerizing”. Joe Horror says “this is one dark and thoroughly disturbing movie.” Sex Gore Mutants claims it’s “a malevolent classic” and MoviesMadeMe.com says it‘s “a vile piece of cinema that will make your skin craw”. PollyStaffle.com went as far as to say the film “is so close to being a masterpiece” and gave it a Polished Apple Award for Best Use of Sex/Nudity in a movie (“The Brown Bunny” won the year before. Both are notorious for their explicit sex and blow job scenes).

Some places questioned whether the film would be better as a PSA. “I think it would be a very good film to show to younger girls who tend to be so trusting in everyone around them…a film like this could serve up a shocking lesson” says Lethal Death. Cinema Crazed said the film “is not your typical thriller; it works outside of conventions of its own mockumentary sub-genre, and tests the audience consistently…I simply love this film”.

Even critics who didn’t love the film still had many kind words. Horror Society says “I take my hat off to Shane for having the balls (if no budget whatsoever) to go out there and make such a movie.” Haro Online says “Shane Ryan is not interested in titillating his viewer. He wants to creep you out, and for most of the movie, he succeeds.” Bums Corner says it’s “definitely an unforgettable work by a talented filmmaker.” And HorrorWatch called it “a seriously dark, ultra-gritty flick that should not be confused with porn in any way.”

The movie, which is about a snuff film in the making, had a budget of just $45 (as far as records indicate, this is the cheapest film ever made to receive national distribution). For more info on the film and trailer, visit alteregocinema.com.

Michelle originally starred in BLACK REIGN in 1990 and has come out of retirement to shoot new scenes for the movie," explains director Jeffrey Lynn Ward. "This is a project that Michelle and I have long wanted to finish. The movie was originally delayed because of unforeseen circumstances and it sat on a shelf for all these years. It was an honor to work with Michelle again." The movie is produced by Chameleon Filmworks, a Florida based production company that is finishing up two other feature films (HALLOWS POINT and ALONG THE WAY).

TLA RELEASING OFFERS A CHILLING ALTERNATIVE TO HORROR WITH RAPTURIOUS
(Philadelphia PA, June 11, 2007) TLA Releasing has secured North American non-theatrical distribution rights including television, video and streaming for RAPTURIOUS (2007, U.S.A.) directed by Kamal Ahmed, formerly of comedy duo The Jerky Boys. The film will be released through the company’s DANGER AFTER DARK label on October 2, 2007.

TLA acquired the film from the Las Vegas-based, ITN Distribution; TLA Releasing was represented by TLA partner and Director of Acquisitions Richard A. Wolff and the deal was negotiated on behalf of the filmmaker by Stuart Alson of ITN.

“Rapturious is a unique addition to our DANGER AFTER DARK label.” Said Wolff of TLA Releasing. “By mixing hip hop music with demons and gore, director Kamal Ahmed’s scary vision will satiate both fans of horror and urban music.

Enter the world of RAPTURIOUS, an up and coming music artist (Robert Oppel) who has a self-destructive drug habit. When his dealer (Hoya Guerra, bassist for “Madball”) presents the rapper with a new drug, dark and murderous hallucinations begin. But are they really tricks of the mind or are these crimes really happening? While his manager (horror movie maven Debbie Rochon) becomes increasingly concerned about her client’s unpredictable behavior, Rapturious begins to see demons, leading to the revelation of an evil entity hell-bent on claiming the musician’s soul. The film also features a demented performance by Joe Bob Briggs, Cinqué Lee (Coffee and Cigarettes) and Amin Joseph (Stephen King’s The Mist) and was executively produced by Artie Lange of The Howard Stern Show fame. What does director Ahmed have to say about RAPTURIOUS?

“If you like all things "creepy" and "weird", boy have I got a film for you.” Said Kamal Ahmed of Rapturious which is his third feature film he has directed. Kamal’s previous efforts include God Has a Rap Sheet and the documentary Artists of Hell’s Kitchen have both won awards at the New York International Independent Film and Video Film Festival. Ahmed, an accomplished musician, performs with “The sacred groove posse,” whose music is featured heavily in the film. Along with being part of the comic duo The Jerky Boys, which spawned a motion picture of the same name, Ahmed has also appeared in Paper Soldiers and Artie Lang’s Beer League.
