Trailer Round-Up: WTF!, BANG BANG BABY, THE LAST HOUSE, MIDNIGHT SPECIAL, and A MONSTER CALLS.

Sorry for the lack of news and updates lately gang. The holiday season is upon us and work is kicking my butt, plus I've gotten back into retro gaming and am currently juggling numerous TV shows (including ASH VS. EVIL DEAD, THE WALKING DEAD, and JESSICA JONES). So to play a bit of catch-up, here are five trailers for upcoming genre films, ranging from fantastical Hollywood blockbusters, to indie Horror flicks!

TRAILER #1: BANG BANG BABY
Let's kick things off with a sci-fi musical! Stepphy (Jane Levy) dreams of running away to become a starlet of stage and screen, even more-so when teen heartthrob Bobby Shore's car breaks down in her hometown. But when a purple gas leaks from the local chemical plant, spontaneous mutations break out and threaten Stepphy's hopes for stardom! What's a girl to do?! BANG BANG BABY is now available on all Video On Demand services - scope it out!



TRAILER #2: THE LAST HOUSE
Kevin Smith regular Jason Mewes is in a race against time to rescue his girlfriend from a trio of escaped mental patients in this new indie thriller. Be sure to keep an eye out for SLEEPAWAY CAMP's very own Felissa Rose in the trailer! THE LAST HOUSE is available on DVD and VOID tomorrow!



TRAILER #3: MIDNIGHT SPECIAL
Due out in theaters on March 18th, 2016, this new sci-fi flick follows a dad on the run from authorities because his son has special (i.e. dangerous) powers. Kind of reminds me of FIRESTARTER now that I think of it. Starring Mark "Zod" Shannon, Kirsten Dunst, Sam Shepard, et al.



TRAILER #4: A MONSTER CALLS
In the tradition of PAN'S LABYRINTH (minus all the horrifying elements) comes A MONSTER CALLS, in which a young boy learns to cope with his mother's terminal illness by seeking out and befriending(?) a giant tree monster (voiced by Liam Neeson). This one is due out on October 14th, of next year, so I'm a little surprised that they've already released a teaser for it ten months early. If anything though, I am now curious about seeing the "Neeson Ent" in action.



TRAILER #5: WTF!
Three years after surviving a massacre, Rachel decides to head to a secluded cabin with some friends for a weekend of drinking and debauchery. Naturally, history begins to repeat itself as the partying "teens" begin dying off one by one. WTF! is due out sometime in 2016 on DVD and VOD!


That's all I've got for you today! Check back again soon for more movie trailers, news, and more!

Principal photography completed for indie horror film entitled "WTF!"

"WTF!" Strands Seven Friends in a Cabin in the Woods! Principal Photography Now Completed!

JULY 21, 2015 - UPDATE: Principal photography has been completed for "WTF!"

Some notes from director Peter Herro: "It took me a very long time to put together the cast and crew. I spent three months in auditions making sure the actors fit the parts, were up to the challenge, and had the same passion as I did. Equally as important was interviewing crew members to get the right people for the jobs. I am so happy and thrilled for the team I have working on this project. Everyone put in 100% and gave it their all.

It was a very intense 12 day run. Some days we managed to shoot a dozen pages! It definitely is a huge creative test to pull together so much detail in such a short amount of time. With locations all over LA and very long days days it became something that could only be done out of passion. I am thrilled to have put together an entire movie in a twelve day span. This would not be possible without the amazing cast and crew that put there blood and sweat into the project. (no pun intended).

The most challenging obstacle for this shoot were the emotional states the actors had to be in. It goes from a very fun MEAN GIRLS charade into a very serious SCREAM survival flick. This was challenging for everyone. They would go from having fun and throwing out one-liners to a more serious physiological thriller state of mind. In the end all of the actors pulled off amazing performances and really brought the movie to life!"

Currently there is no release date set for Peter Herro's new horror film, but we can all expect to see it pop up sometime in 2016! Expect more updates on this project as it gets closer to completion!


JUNE 10, 2015 - I just received a press release, letting me know that filming is about to begin for a new horror flick called "WTF!" I'm not quite sure what the tone of this movie will be (comedic? serious?), or what sub-genre of the horror genre it can be categorized as (I'm going with a slasher flick, maybe?), but I do at least know what it's all about.

Synopsis: Three years ago, twenty-two year old girl-next-door Rachel (Callie Ott) barely survived a brutal massacre that left her friends in pieces. Time has passed, and Rachel has moved on, but unfortunately history has a way of repeating itself.

Her close friends are spending spring break in a secluded house in the woods, and they have cordially invited her to join. Little does she realize that another bloodbath will be showing up as plus one. Once Rachel and her friends arrive at the cabin, the partying, sex, and terror begins.

From girls' only pillow fights, to debauchery in the bedroom, it's going to be a blast... until the stabbing, flesh melting, and castration starts. Seven friends will go into a secluded house for the best spring break of their lives, but only one will be alive to post about it on Instagram the next week, as Rachel's biggest fears become a reality once again. Will Rachel survive another bloody massacre?!

Cthulhu Crush Productions is excited to announce principal photography is set to begin on Peter Herro's "WTF!" June 15th around Los Angeles. Herro is directing from a script he co-wrote with Christopher Centanni and Adam Buchalter. Callie Ott (THE HORROR), Sarah Agor (HATCHET II, VH1's "SCREAM QUEENS"), Andrea Hunt, Ben Norris, Johnny James Fiore, Nick Reilly and Adam Foster will star.

This project sounds like it could have some promise. I sincerely hope that it's a straight-up slasher flick, because I am sick of zombies, home invaders, found footage films, and fake snuff films. It's time for a slasher film Renaissance dammit! 

To keep up to date on all things "WTF!," be sure to follow the filmmakers on Twitter!

As more updates and details on "WTF!" become available, you can bet that I'll share them here! Good luck to Peter Herro and his cast & crew! Break a leg gang!
