This week sees a ton of genre movies coming out on DVD and Blu- Ray. The biggest being Predators, followed up by the remake of the cult classic Night of the Demons, a sequel to Mirrors, and Anniversary editions for Rocky Horror Picture Show and Psycho. Add to that a slew of indie and classic horror and there is a lot to choose from.
Predators
Directed by Nimród Antal
Robert Rodriguez presents Predators, a bold new chapter in the Predator universe. Adrien Brody stars as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors mysteriously brought together on a jungle planet. But when these cold-blooded human “predators” find themselves in all-out war against a new breed of alien Predators, it’s the ultimate showdown between hunter and prey. Predators also star Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, Danny Trejo, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Oleg Taktarov, and Louis Ozawa Changchien.

The number of home video releases on October 19th is not as abundant as in recent weeks, and fewer re-released titles means those that are available are much more special. In this batch one Adrien Brody flick competes with another, and at least two independent horror titles are making a splash. Two beloved classic films return in Blu-ray where one is supplemented by a documentary treatment of it.
Also, don't forget to strum & drum out with some tunes from Rob Zombie on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Finally, foreign horror gives us an over-the-top Japanese gorefest, a British zombie flick where the $70 budget was spent on tea and biscuits for the zombies, and Norwegian black metal.

You've got to hand it to writer/director Gary Ugarek.
You've got to hand it to writer/director Gary Ugarek. With no traditional schooling in film making or any film making experience, Maryland-based Ugarek has created his own tiny zombie franchise, mainly through keeping his costs low by working with friends and shooting on the weekends so no one has to quit their job.
Ugarek made the first Deadlands movie, Deadlands: The Rising, in 2006 and followed that with Deadlands 2: Trapped in 2008. Deadlands 3, however, is pulling out all the stops by going into pre-production a year before shooting in the spring of 2011 in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Maryland, and working from a script that in its 5th draft and won't be solely Ugarek's work. Ugarek brought in Lonnie Martin to help write Deadlands 3, which was originally going to be the script for Deadlands 2: Trapped, but instead was saved for the end(?) of Ugarek's trilogy.

Wetnwildradio Films announced today that pre-production is slowly beginning on the last entry into the Deadlands zombie film franchise. This third entry will delve into the post apocalypse and follow a small group of survivors who are trying to exist in the zombie infested world.
This final entry was the original sequel to 2006's Deadlands: The Rising, however during re-writes characters from the original Deadlands 1 were replaced with newer characters, but the screenplay retained its original storyline. Gary Ugarek, writer and director of Deadlands 1 & 2, has been joined by Women's Studies scribe Lonnie Martin for this outting.
"I had originally written the screenplay after wrapping Deadlands 1 back in 2006, and I then asked Lonnie, a close friend, to look it over and he asked to join the project and tweak the screenplay, flushing out the characters and adding a few twists of his own. Since Lonnie joined the project in 2007 we have...

Fango recently heard from indie filmmaker Gary Ugarek, who sent along some exclusive stills and behind-the-scenes photos (see them below) from his Maryland/Virginia-lensed Deadlands 2: Trapped, a follow-up to his 2007 flick Deadlands: The Rising. “It has been a long and weird road since we began preproduction, as this was originally supposed to be a short for a project called Zombthology,” Ugarek tells Fango. “Deadlands 2 ultimately grew into a feature film, much like its predecessor; however, it’s really an in-name-only sequel, and was simply titled Trapped during production.”
The location where the movie’s six human survivors hole up when the ghouls overrun the world was a 50,000-square-foot cineplex theater in Hagerstown, MD, where Ugarek (pictured in first photo with actor Frank Collazo) marshalled hundreds of undead bit players along with his main cast and crew. “It was a fun flick to make,” he recalls. “Most indie zombie filmmakers...
