Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Sorry for being a few days late Vault Dwellers, but I got sidetracked with working on my upcoming review for Scream Factory's fantastic (and downright definitive) Blu-ray of John Carpenter's THE THING. This week doesn't boast any major heavy hitters, but there are a few new titles worth mentioning. For those of you looking for modern thrills, QUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL and TRAIN TO BUSAN are now out on DVD and Blu-ray.

Raro Video reminds us that they are still alive with a new Blu-ray release of REVENGE OF THE BLOOD BEAST, Scream Factory finishes off your high-def SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE collection with the release of their new double feature of parts II and III, and the Corman-produced DEATH RACE 2050 makes its debut on DVD and Blu-ray! Also, with RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER hitting theaters soon, all of the previous films have been re-released to Blu-ray!

Roger Corman Takes Another Lap With DEATH RACE 2050!

ON JANUARY 17TH, THE SPORT OF THE  

FUTURE RETURNS, IN 

 ROGER CORMAN'S
"DEATH RACE 2050!"

I get an absolute kick out of the original DEATH RACE 2000 (which I just watched in 35mm at Hudson Horror Show this past December)! While I don't think this reboot will hold a candle to the original classic, I feel pretty confident that it'll be worth watching. What can I say? I'm a Corman fan!

Synopsis: Legendary filmmaking icon, Roger Corman, is back with his most outrageous film yet in this sensational, action-packed and darkly humorous reboot of the original DEATH RACE 2000! It's the year 2050 and America is controlled by an all-powerful corporate government ruled by The Chairman (Malcolm McDowell).

The masses have been brainwashed with violent virtual-reality entertainment. The event of the year is the "Death Race," in which a motley crew of violent drivers compete in a cross-country road race, scoring points for shamelessly running people over and driving each other off the road. The reigning champion and fan favorite, Frankenstein (Manu Bennett), who's half-man half-machine, wants to take the crown, but his rebel spy co-pilot threatens his legacy.

Trailer Round-Up: BLADE RUNNER 2049, BLOOD MACHINES: TURBO KILLER II, DEATH RACE 2050, and JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2!

Another week, another dose of trailers! 2017 is shaping up to be an incredible year for cinema Vault Dwellers (lord knows we'll need the escape), and I'm about to give you four more reasons why! Keanu Reeves is back as everyone's favorite puppy-avenging hitman, Harrison Ford reprises his role of Rick Deckard, Roger Corman produces an official followup to his cult classic DEATH RACE 2000, and indie filmmakers hailing from France are prepping to create a feature-length 80s-style musical sci-fi epic! Let's get to it, shall we?!

TRAILER #1: BLADE RUNNER 2049
Release Date: October 6, 2017

Set thirty years after Ridley Scott's sci-fi classic, Ryan Gosling stars as K, a new "blade runner" that stumbles upon a secret that could send all of society spinning into utter chaos. Seeking answers, K seeks out Rick Deckard for information and aid! Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the original BLADE RUNNER, but it's been nearly two decades since I've watched it, so it's probably time that I revisited it. If you're a big fan of the original movie, peep out the teaser below and get excited!




TRAILER #2: BLOOD MACHINES: TURBO KILLER II
Release Date: TBA 2017

Currently in pre-production, BLOOD MACHNES acts as a sequel to a short film / music video called TURBO KILLER. (Watch it HERE.) Set in a BLADE RUNNER-esque universe, the film follows two space hunters who chase after a female ghost that exited a rogue machine they took down. BLOOD MACHINES is currently still in its crowdfunding phase, and on track to raise enough for a thirty-minute short film. However, if "Seth Ickerman" and friends raise $666,666.00, they will gear up to create a feature-length tale utilizing their impressive digital effects, and music by Carpenter Brut. Scope out the music video for TURBO KILLER, and their Kickstarter campaign video below! If you're impressed, feel free to toss a few bucks their way!






TRAILER #3: DEATH RACE 2050
Release Date: January 17, 2017 (DVD & Blu-ray)

In the year 2050, the Earth becomes overpopulated. To help bring population levels down in the "United Corporations of America," the Death Race is developed. Held annually, this race allows participants to speed from coast to coast, picking off unlucky pedestrians along the way to earn points! Hmm.... though I thought this was a sequel of sorts, it seems like it might be more of a reboot? Guess I won't find out for sure until next January!




TRAILER #4: JOHN WICK - CHAPTER 2 
Release Date: February 10, 2017

Bound by a blood oath, retired hitman John Wick travels to Rome to help a former associate take control of an international assassins' guild! There's nothing much else to say about this, other than "HOLY CRAP, IT'S A NEW JOHN WICK MOVIE!" I loved the first one, so I am totally on board to see this sequel! Here's hoping it's just as good as, if not better than, its predecessor!

That's it for now, but check back soon for more movie news, trailers, and more!
