Trailer Round-Up: ALIEN - COVENANT, DON'T KILL IT, HUNTING GROUNDS, and PITCHFORK!

Welcome to very first Trailer Round-Up for 2017 Vault Dwellers! This week we'll take a look at the newest chapter in the ALIEN franchise, watch Dolph Lundgren use guns and martial arts to battle supernatural evil, scope out a new indie Bigfoot epic, and take a peek at an all new addition to the slasher film sub-genre! Scroll down and peep these previews of coming attractions!

TRAILER #1: ALIEN - COVENANT
Release Date: May 19, 2017

Ridley Scott returns to his roots with ALIEN: COVENANT, which looks to bridge the original 1979 classic to 2012's controversial PROMETHEUS. Crew members aboard a ship called "The Covenant," discover a habitable planet that seems to be a veritable paradise. However, they eventually come into contact with an alien parasite leading to the eventual evolution of the dreaded Xenomorph! Those that (I'm assuming) make it off the planet must then fight for survival against their deadly stowaway! Here's hoping this movie proves to be a great sci-fi thriller, because I personally wasn't a big fan of PROMETHEUS.




TRAILER #2: DON'T KILL IT
Release Date: March 3, 2017 (DVD & Blu-ray)

Now this looks fun! Dolph Lundgren stars as a demon hunter that arrives in a small Alaskan town to take down a body-hopping,serial killer that is terrorizing the populace. (Wait, he pretty much already did this in THE MINION?) Apparently this movie was given a small release last August, but has since been sitting in direct-to-DVD purgatory. A shame because this looks like it'll be an above average b-actioner!



TRAILER #3: HUNTING GROUNDS
Release Date:  February 7, 2017 (Video on Demand)

A new release from Uncork'd Entertainment follows a father and son who move into a dilapidated shack in the woods after losing everything. Their luck gets even worse when they discover that they are now living smack dab in the middle of angry Sasquatch country. Now they'll have to survive against the primal fury of a Bigfoot and its kin, with a little help from Bill Oberst Jr.!



TRAILER #4: PITCHFORK
Release Date: January 13, 2017 (Video on Demand)

Yet another new release from Unkork'd Entertainment. This film centers on a kid named Hunter that drags a group of his friends to the farm he grew up on. He plans on facing his parents and to drag an old secret kicking and screaming into the daylight. But all hell breaks loose when a pitchfork-wielding psychopath begins knocking people off. Not quite sure what to make of this new slasher villain myself, so I guess I'll have to wait and see him in action next week!


That's it for now Vault Dwellers, but stay tuned for more movie new, trailers, and more here at the News Vault!

This Valentine's Day, get your bad movie lover the ultimate gift: SUPER MARIO BROS. - THE MOVIE (LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK)!

THE AIN'T NO GAME, IT'S A LIVE-ACTION CLUSTERF*CK! SECOND SIGHT FILMS RELEASES THE INFAMOUS "SUPER MARIO BROS" MOVIE IN A LIMITED EDITION STEELBOOK ON

FEBRUARY 13TH!

Few things were as disappointing to a very young Vault Master than 1993's SUPER MARIO BROS. - THE MOVIE. It's hard to believe that this awful adaptation of a popular video game franchise came out the same year as the ground-breaking JURASSIC PARK!

But you know what? As bad as it is, I kind of love this movie. In some sick, twisted way, I enjoy it, and I simply must have it in my Blu-ray collection! The only problem is that this disc is Region B encoded, so it looks like I'll be snapping up a region free Blu-ray player in the very near future!

Synopsis: Brooklyn plumbers Mario (Bob Hoskins) and Luigi (John Leguizamo) get the shock of their lives when they discover a parallel world populated by the intelligent descendants of dinosaurs! It seems they weren't destroyed by a meteor millions of years ago but hurled into another dimension and now have plans to rule our world. It's up to our unlikely heroes to battle the evil King Koopa (Dennis Hopper) and his Goomba guards, free the beautiful Princess Daisy (Samantha Mathis), and save mankind in this adventure of a lifetime!

Disc Specs:
Rated PG | Color | 104 minutes | Region B
Video - 1080p Widescreen (1.85:1)
Audio -  DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 and LPCM 2.0

Extras:

• This Ain't No Video Game - A brand new 60-minute documentary featuring new interviews with Co-directors Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, Producer Roland Joffe, Actors John Leguizamo and Richard Edson, Writer Parker Bennett, Production Designer David Snyder, Art Director Walter Martishius, FX Artists Paul Elliot, Vincent Guastini and Rob Burman, Visual FX Designer Chris Woods, Editor Mark Goldblatt and Creature Designer Patrick Tatopoulos. Archive interviews with Bob Hoskins and producer Jake Eberts.
• Vintage "Making of" featurette.

The new SUPER MARIO BROS. Limited Edition Steelbook is currently a ZAVVI exclusive and can only be ordered HERE. The cost is fifteen pounds (or $19.67 in U.S. currency) + shipping and once again, this disc is Region B locked, which means that you must have a Region Free player to enjoy(?) this Blu-ray! And if twenty bucks is too rich for your blood, you can get a much cheaper standard Blu-ray release (also Region B) HERE at Amazon.com!

Vault Master's Pick of the Week!

Greetings Vault Dwellers, and welcome to the end of 2016! It's been a rough year for most, and I for one am looking forward to seeing what 2017 has to offer (aside from a really healthy slate of Hollywood Blockbusters, and some drool-inducing titles announced by Scream Factory, Arrow Video, and other genre labels)!

There's not much at all this week, so let's breeze through the new DVDs and Blu-rays, then gaze ahead to a hopefully happy, healthy, and prosperous new year!

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!
