Filled with blood, boobs and bell-bottoms, the 2011 cult horror film The Disco Exorcist pays tribute to the sleazy exploitation films of the 1970s.
The film revolves around Rex Romanski (Michael Reed), a 1970s disco swinger who loves and leaves the wrong woman - the wicked black magic priestess Rita Maria (Ruth Sullivan). So now it’s up to Rex to undo the scorned Rita’s rampage of revenge, murder and destruction before she claims more lives, and takes over the soul of the woman he loves (Sarah Nicklin)
Directed by Richard Griffin (an enthusiastic independent filmmaker whose previous credits include 2007’s Splatter Disco and 2005’s Raving Maniacs), the unrated Disco Exorcist has gotten some exposure online and on the underground film circuit.

Contemporary film fans probably think they have veteran actor Ken Foree all figured out. And how could they not? Best known for his work in some of the premier modern horror movies, Foree is a fright film favorite who's appeared in gory classics such as George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, Stuart Gordon's From Beyond and Rob Zombie's The Devil’s Rejects. So when they hear Foree's next role is in the film adaptation of Water for Elephants (opening April 22), the best-selling historical novel about a young man who runs off to join the circus, filmgoers can be forgiven for exclaiming, "Wha—?"
What most people don't realize is that Foree has paid his dues and done a lot of work in areas other than horror. Foree's first film was The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings, the 1976 sports comedy starring Billy Dee Williams, James Earl Jones and Richard Pryor.

Indican Pictures will release the deliciously-titled genre cocktail movie Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula on Blu-ray and DVD on April 26.
Okay, you probably have a pretty good idea as to the story of this low-budget indie film written and directed by Timothy Friend, but we’ll give you a plot synopsis, anyway:
Tiffany Shepis means business in Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula
After their latest heist goes wrong, legendary outlaw couple Bonnie (Tiffany Shepis, Trade In, Night of the Demons) and Clyde (Trent Haaga, Splatter Disco) find themselves on the run from the law and in need of some fast money. Finding shelter in a small town, they crash at the mansion of the notorious Dr. Loveless (Allen Lowman, Shadow Falls Memorial), where they discover that he has one helluva secret: Deep in his cellar the recently revived Dracula (Russell Friend) awaits…and when gangsters meet vampires, there’s bloody hell to pay!

Toss a stone in any direction and, chances are, you’ll connect with someone working on their own personal homage to 70’s cult cinema. Some of these ambitious endeavors look great, some look genuinely awful, and some look cooler than your creepy uncle’s five-foot afro. “Splatter Disco” director Richard Griffin’s upcoming nunsploitation action extravaganza “Nun of That” definitely falls into the latter category. To be perfectly honest, it’s hard to dislike a movie that features a trio of nuns kicking a little ass, especially when they’re sporting fully automatic weaponry. Even if it sucks the life from your heathen soul, at least you still get a trio of sisters armed with shotguns. Booyah. Here’s the lowdown on the plot: After being gunned down in an alley, Sister Kelly Wrath ascends to heaven to receive training from some of the great figures of religious mythology. She...

Filmmaker/makeup FX artist Tom Devlin gave Fango the scoop that his latest movie The Trek will be hitting DVD April 11 from Plan 10 Pictures, and gave us a first look at the cover art (see below).

Last year, author/artist/screenwriter Stephen Romano unveiled Shock Festival, a lavish volume that homaged the B-movie genre via histories and a trove of artwork and photos of horror, action and sexploitation flicks…that never existed (order it here). Now, Romano is adapting the book into a multi-dvd edition for POPcinema, and we got the details from him and an exclusive first peek at the cover art, along with a promo poster.
“People got really excited about the fictional world of my book, because it reminded them of real movies they had forgotten about or wanted to revisit,” Romano tells Fango. “There are a lot of opportunities now for younger people to rediscover weirdo, nihilistic sci-fi films like Chosen Survivors or yucky, twisted 42nd Street shithouse classics like Slime City. Those were the types of films that inspired me to create my book. So when I was coming to the...

Indie filmmaker Richard Griffin, director of Splatter Disco and Creature From The Hillbilly Lagoon among others, is getting ready to premiere his latest feature, the “splatter-filled supernatural action/comedy” Nun Of That. He has also debuted the movie’s trailer (warning: not work-safe), which you can see below.
Nun Of That, produced by Griffin’s usual filmmaking partner Ted Marr, stars Sarah Nicklin (another of his regulars) as Sister Kelly Wrath, who’s got a habit…of flying off the handle. “After being gunned down in an alley, she ascends to heaven to receive training from some of the great figures of religious mythology. She is then set back to Earth to join the other members of the Order of the Black Habit, a group of supernatural vigilante nuns, as they fight evil and seek revenge against the mob.” The cast also includes Brandon Luis Aponte, Alexandra Cipolla, Michael Reed,...

People's opinions of films are more often than not colored by their expectations. For example, I have a friend who is unable to enjoy From Dusk Till Dawn for the film that it is because he went to the theater expecting a film more like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. With that, the following should help people come to Splatter Disco with the proper expectations.
1. Despite the title, Splatter Disco is not particularly "splattery."
2. There's also no disco music, though a dance club (with a disco ball) features prominently in the film.
3. Though the DVD cover states that Splatter Disco is "The First Slasher Musical," writer/director Richard Griffin's description of the film as a "romantic, horror-comedy/Christmas musical" is probably more accurate.
While I am paraphrasing, I'm not kidding.
Across the blogosphere, people are constantly complaining about how recent horror films aren't "fun" like they used to be...
