Lock and load, people, for this is a very special article. Harry Bromley Davenport, the enfant terrible behind Xtro—a British video nasty from the early 1980s that he’s about to sequelize again (see item here)—does not mince his words in this interview regarding his latest shocker, Haunted Echoes (out today on DVD from E1), complemented by a few exclusive pics. Harry is clearly a man not to cross—as we found out…...

There's only a handful of horror DVD's coming out this week (including yet another release of Night of the Living Dead, this time as part of Cinema Insomnia's "Slime Line"), but a few of them seem to hold some promise.
Along with indie Nine Dead and the eagerly awaited (by some) Demonic Toys 2, there's Haunted Echoes, which gives us a chance to see what Sean Young has been up to lately. In addition we have the motion comic Wrath of the Titans, whose story was developed under the guidance of Ray Harryhausen. We also get a couple of compilations: the 20-movie Undead: The Vampire Collection and Savage Cinema, a 12-pack of exploitation flicks.
For my money the pick of the week has to be Tremors: Complete Series. Sure, it's cheesy, but so are the films, and it's just too much fun to pass up. Let us know your choice below.

Pimping his DVD release Haunted Echoes , Harry Bromley Davenport tells Fangoria that he's returning to the director's chair for Xtro 4 . Davenport kicked off the series, involving malevolent aliens, in '83 and has helmed every entry since then. Xtro 3: Watch the Skies touched down on video shelves in '95. He tells Fango: "A script by Daryl Haney is in the works, and my sales guys are salivating. It's going to be a very odd movie indeed. Sort of back to the roots of the first one, but much stranger and, hopefully, more uncomfortable." Good to see Xtro is eschewing the "reboot" craze and is plowing onward!

Juliet Landau has now released her second film (her first was the dark music video Hero) Take Flight – a documentary focusing on actor Gary Oldman making a music video for the Jewish hip hop band 'Chutzpah'. Landau, who has appeared on the Tv series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and in the Tim Burton film Ed Wood, was asked to shoot a ‘making of’ for Oldman, a friend of hers, and the resulting footage became an experience all its own. Over 50 hours of footage, from a cell phone with Pov shots to 3 cameras at once, were cut into this short.
We're happy to have Landau back with us again, discussing Take Flight along with her upcoming films The Yellow Wallpaper and Haunted Echoes...
With complete free reign, Landau pieced together a film that
“Shows a very light, playful, childlike, fluid, free, funny side to Gary... It’s like being inside his head,...
