The beloved Australian rom-com series is finally back for its second season and while I want to say that everything is going hunky dory for our leading couple, in my opinion, it just won’t end up that way. Created by and starring the real-life couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, Colin from Accounts is back with its much anticipated second season with the always-bickering Ashley and Gordon.
Colin from Accounts picks up the story of Ashley and Gordon two weeks after they gave up Colin to a family of three. Now, regretting their decision they have been pestering the family to give Colin so that they don’t have to deal with the question of what their relationship is like if Colin is taken out of the equation because he was the one who brought them together. If you love the hilariously written relationship of Ashley and Gordon, here...

We must not forget that we owe the main plot of Bridgerton to Julia Quinn and her books. She created our beloved Bridgerton family with such different brothers and sisters who treat each other with love and warmth. As well as the witty and mysterious Lady Whistledown, whose mask hides the most inconspicuous girl in high society.
However, the creators of the series managed to make something more out of the novels. The Bridgerton series raises issues of gender inequality, body positivity, and sex education. And the author of the Bridgerton books loves it. Julia Quinn said the books were written twenty years ago, before the MeToo and conversations about the importance of active consent.
The Book Version of Colin is Just Flat And Angry

The comedy “Colin From Accounts” tends to surprise viewers who tune in expecting one thing, and realizing it’s something else altogether. It’s a romantic comedy with a most unusual name (read on if you want to find out who “Colin” actually is) and has become a phenomenon first in Australia, then on the BBC in the U.K., followed by the Nordic region and now in the U.S. via Paramount+, where it premiered earlier this month.
“Colin From Accounts” is written by and stars a married actors Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall, who are Australian but live in Los Angeles.

Despite the pandemic, some 40 feature films began shooting on-location in Greater Los Angeles last month, and 27 unique TV show titles either resumed or started on-location filming in town, pulling their first permits since June.
Overall, however, on-location production of films, TV shows and commercials was down in November compared with October, according FilmLA, the City and County’s film permit office. It’s the first time since production resumed that month-over-month permit volume has decreased.
“The November decrease in production reflects the ongoing complexity of the moment,” said FilmLA president Paul Audley. “At this point, progress for production rests, like so many things, on effective community control of Covid-19. The Greater Los Angeles filmmaking community, so fortunate to be able to remain working, continues to be mindful of safe set rules.”

With an impending election on the American horizon, it seems fitting for a few political dramas/thrillers/think pieces to start finding their way into cinemas. Everyone seems to have their own (correct) opinion in regards to political action these days, as social media and journalistic “investigation” only strengthen everyone’s singular voice. But with so many other poignant political assessments already logged in Hollywood’s catalog, it’s hard to find much weight in the issues that Austin Stark’s The Runner raises. It’s an oil-spill-gone-worse scenario that’s more about a struggling politician than White House corruption itself, led by a tormented Nicolas Cage in one of his better roles of the last few years (sans Kick-Ass, Joe, and of course, Drive Angry). Yet, by the film’s conclusion, no new ground finds itself covered.

Nicolas Cage has an extensive filmography: if you name it, he's probably done it (how many Hollywood figures can you think of that would star in the Christian themed apocalypse movie "Left Behind"?). The actor's latest left turn is into the realm of ripped-from-headlines drama… sort of. Read More: Interview: David Gordon Green & Nicolas Cage Talk Flawed Father Figures Of 'Joe,' Evading Southern Clichés And More In "The Runner," set against the aftermath of the 2010 Bp oil spill, The Cage plays Colin Price, an idealistic but flawed New Orleans congressman who is forced to confront his dysfunctional life after his career is destroyed in a sex scandal. Connie Nielsen plays Deborah, Colin's wife and a high-powered attorney with political ambitions of her own, and Peter Fonda plays Colin's father, also a politician. "Mad Men" star Bryan Batt takes the role of Mark Lavin, a Wall Street type who rolls with big.

Stars: Dominic Brunt, Joanne Mitchell, Eileen O’Brien, Nicky Evans, Alex Baldacci | Written by Mark Illis, Joanne Mitchell | Directed by Dominic Brunt
With the film set for a DVD release on February 25th, here’s a Dan’s emotive review of Before Dawn from last August’s London Frightfest – Phil
There’s unlikely to be a review of Before Dawn written that doesn’t mention director and star Dominic Brunt’s Emmerdale connection. Brunt has starred as Paddy Kirk on the long running soap since 1997, and is one of the show’s most recognisable stars. What many people perhaps do not know, is that Dominic is a huge fan of the horror genre, even going so far as to host the Leeds horror festival on an annual basis. And now, Brunt has taken the next logical step and has directed and starred in Before Dawn.

Film maker Marc Price, director of the £45 zombie film Colin, has finished work on his second feature film Magpie – previously known as The Coffin – which was financed by Emmerdale actor Dominic Brunt (who himself made his film debut with a zombie film, the well-received Before Dawn), and tells thetragic story of a negligent young father who returns home for his 9-year-old, shark-obsessed son’s funeral. An unwelcome guest, he steals the coffin and finds himself on the road with the child’s mother and two friends.
Magpie was shot on location in London, Cornwall and Price’s native Swansea. Without a script, Price instead opted to workshop scenes with the actors based on a carefully designed structure. What follows is a journey with no destination, just a desperate desire not to return. Very different from Colin, Magpie is a dark relationship drama with significantly higher production value.

Two more films have been added to the Grimmfest 2012 lineup - one feature and one short - and we have all the details you need right here! Grimmfest runs 4th-7th October in the UK at Manchester's The Dancehouse theatre.
The feature film is Before Dawn, which was born from an argument between husband and wife Dominic Brunt and Joanne Mitchell. The film's original concept came from two opposing opinions of what makes a good zombie movie and what frequently makes a bad one. What's missing and what needed adding to. Before Dawn is the result.
Synopsis:
A weekend away. An idyllic cottage nestled within the rolling hills of the English Dales. What starts off as a gripping psychological drama between a struggling married couple suddenly descends into a shocking gruesome nightmare. As panic and confusion set in, Alex and Meg have to confront the fears within themselves and face...

Special Event: Nightbreed: The Cabal Cut
(UK/USA) – Dir. Clive Barker / Restoration Director. Russell Cherrington
The turbulent production of Clive Barker’s Nightbreed is the stuff of legend, and the film released in 1990 was a far cry from Barker’s original novella, with many significant scenes excised by the film’s producers. Presumed lost for over twenty years, the footage surfaced in the form of two separate workprints and has been integrated with scenes from the original theatrical version to create The Cabal Cut – a fully fleshed-out monster epic that captures Clive Barker’s original vision in vivid detail.

I Rot: Josef J. Weber had written and directed a short film. Titled, I Rot, the short is in the vein of American Psycho and is currently available to watch online.

The sick and twisted minds behind the Melbourne Underground Film Festival have launched a brand new horror and sci-fi themed fest: Bloodfest Fantastique! Australia gets a lot more blood-soaked on June 10-18, nine nights of some of the most gruesome, terrifying and far-out films, past and present, from around the world.
While Muff has never been shy about screening genre films, Richard Wolstencroft — founder and director of both fests — is planning for his newest endeavor to simply be a celebration of his two favorite genres of filmmaking, without all the politicking hooha-ery that surrounds Muff.
So, there’s still a very underground-esque flavor to Bloodfest. The newer flicks in the festival have a scrappy, inventive, degenerate quality, from slice and dice em’s like Chris Sun’s Come and Get Me, Chad Ferrin’s Someone’s Knocking at the Door and Geoff Klein Bikini Girls on Ice; to monster flicks...

For our money in order to make a zombie movie good, the zombies themselves have to look bitchin'. All too often young indie filmmakers just apply powder and then stage blood onto folks and then claim them to be the living dead. That's akin to sticking plastic vampire teeth in your mouth and saying you're Dracula in terms of effectiveness.
One thing's for sure regarding the new indie zombie flick Before Dawn ... they really seem to be on the right track. Check out the first teaser stills below from Dominic Brunt's Before Dawn, which is being produced by Colin director Marc Price.
Brunt also stars along with Nicky Evans in this tale of a feuding couple on a make-or-break weekend, who find their chances of a romantic reconciliation spoiled when their cottage comes under attack by zombies.

Full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Julian Grant.
Director/writer: Julian Grant.
The Defiled right away grabs you as being an homage to an earlier time in films, the silent 1920s and before. Julian Grant's latest production is completely in black and white, while the feature is entirely without dialogue. However, the body language speaks volumes as an infected man does his best to ensure a future generation of man-eaters, by protecting his cannibal baby. The result is a slow paced dramatic feature in an apocalyptic world, which deserves greater attention from horror fans.
Director Grant shows his versatility in filmmaking, by acting as the film's principal photographer. The environments shot are mostly dilapidated to show a world in decline and chaos, while the lighting emphasizes zombie facial expressions and infrequent explosions. As well, there are long shots to show a roving militia and close interior shots,...

Colin's Marc Price moves on with The Coffin.
The staff at HugAZombie took a much-deserved break over the holidays, which is why we now present to you this week old story.
Welsh director Marc Price, who impressed at Cannes in 2009 with his debut feature Colin, which followed a man as he becomes a zombie and was made for $75 and a bag of crisps, is moving on to his next feature, titled The Coffin.
And what is The Coffin about? Well, it's about "an absent father who gatecrashes his young son's funeral, steals the coffin, and embarks on a momentous road trip with his ex-partner and two friends." Not exactly zombie fare, but still dealing with death.
Will Price strike gold twice? Remains to be seen, but we're wishing him and Colin actor Alastair Kirton nothing but good luck!

Underground films cleaned up at the newly re-christened Syracuse International Horror, Science-Fiction & Fantasy Film Festival, with Drew Bolduc and Dan Nelson’s The Taint and Stuart Simpson‘s El Monstro Del Mar! taking home top awards.
Formerly known as the B-Movie Film Festival, the 11th annual edition of the fest was held on Nov. 20-21 and screened nine genre-themed films, plus a block of shorts.
The Australian El Monstro Del Mar! has been winning awards all over the underground film circuit, including taking home prizes at the Melbourne Underground Film Festival, the Sydney Underground Film Festival and the Royal Flush Film Festival. And, thanks to Spooky Movie, which screened the film in October, I was able to see this gem of a monster movie throwback and can say it’s getting all the accolades it deserves.
The Taint has had a more modest success in the underground, but its reputation appears to be growing.

Did you know that anyone can make a zombie movie? It’s true because last year, my cat made a zombie movie, and this month I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of a zombie film made by Osama Bin Laden. Yes, these days anyone who’s anyone comes up with the brilliant idea to make yet another low budget zombie film.
That is perhaps why whenever someone asks me to watch their independent horror film featuring zombies, I turn a little bit sour. Truth be told I kind of hate zombies. This is blasphemous according to approximately 95% of horror fans but I can’t help it if the recent fad has turned me cynical against a once exciting and entertaining sub-genre.

There are people who believe zombies should only walk. And there are people who believe they can run around like steroid-injecting track stars. Then, there’s Frank Darabont, executive producer of the new AMC zombie show The Walking Dead, who believes both aforementioned groups are full of hooey. “Well, it depends on the zombie’s mood,” says the Shawshank Redemption director. “If they’ve recently fed, they’re a little less interested, a little more shutdown. Other times, they’re riled to a predatory state and can get a little faster.” So, they’re mostly walking — but sometimes they jog...

Director Marc Price has a confession to make. At the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, the Welsh filmmaker became a major news story when journalists found out that he made his debut movie, a London-set zombie film called Colin, for just 45 pounds sterling, or around $70. To many, that budget seemed impossibly small, and Price now admits the figure was indeed an inaccurate one. “I don’t even know if it cost as much as 14 pounds,” he laughs. “The things that we definitely spent money on for the sole purpose of making the film would be a pack of video tapes, which we...

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.

Indie zombie flick Colin has garnered much praise on the festival circuit, and for those of you still waiting patiently to glimpse director Mark Price's debut feature, you're in luck. The micro-budgeted horror film is lumbering onto DVD this October, courtesy of Walking Shadows.
From the Press Release
Breathing new life into the undead is the British horror phenomenon Colin, about the life of a zombie told through his own eyes, stalking onto DVD October 19.
The brainchild of British writer-director Marc Price (Midnight, the upcoming Thunderchild), Colin adds this original, unique perspective to a classic genre. Made for just $75, mostly spent on tea and cookies for his “zombies,” Price relied on friends and Facebook to cast his legion of undead extras.
In Colin, life bites (literally!) for Colin (Alastair Kirton, Midnight) when, after becoming a zombie snack, he dies and returns as one of the undead. Wandering aimlessly through the streets of London,...
