Every year in Hollywood, we hear the same story. Movie X becomes a giant box office smash, Movie Y winds up becoming a major flop. Regardless of whether or not the movie was a flop or a mega-hit, they all have one thing in common: they get talked about at the end of the year, for better or worse.
And then, there are the other movies. The forgotten ones. Think about it. They’re either sitting in the cold of some Redbox machine, trapped inside a dark Netflix warehouse, or they’re in the weird DVD section of a local drug store. Why does the drug store have a DVD section? They only sell five movies. Who are buying these movies? If you feel awkward when you’re buying a pack of condoms at a drug store, you can’t imagine the look on the cashier’s...

It's been a long road for The Lost Tribe to get released. It's been kicking around under several titles including The Forgotten Ones and simply just The Tribe and has been housed under several different shingles. Finally the good folks at Image Entertainment are bringing this one home.
The Lost Tribe stars Brianna Brown, Nick Mennell, Emily Foxler, and Lance Henriksen (for five minutes anyway) and will be released to DVD on October 19th.
Special features include a feature commentary with producer Mohit Ramchandani and actor Hadley Fraser, a behind-the-scenes featurette and a trailer.
Check out the artwork below after the plot crunch.
Synopsis
When a devastating boat crash shipwrecks a group of friends in the jungles of an uncharted island, they are savagely picked off one-by-one by a cannibalistic enemy that evolution forgot. A horrifying action-adventure in the vein of Predator and Lost.

Pjstar.com has a new interview with Kellan Lutz via telephone in preparation for an appearance at a Riverman game. Kellan talks about New Moon Eclipse and how much he loves his fans.What can you tell me about New Moon?As far as New Moon goes its similar to the book. Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob Black does an amazing job and director Chris Weitz does an even better job of captivating the werewolves and making them real characters in a way. Its more of a manly movie.What do you do to get into character to get your mind into the vampire world?For me when Im away on set the energy I get from my workouts and the training I do especially with filming Eclipse right now helps put myself in the mindset of becoming Emmett. Its a lot of testosterone buildup I guess laughs. A lot...

Warning: Confusion ahead.
Some of you keen eyed creature feature fans may have noticed that a little film called The Tribe was made and released last year. It starred Jewel Staite of Firefly and Stargate fame and was directed by Jorg Ihle. Well, for whatever reason that film was renamed The Forgotten Ones and a remake quickly went into production under the direction of Roel Reiné who changed the title to "Primal" (not to be confused with the upcoming low-budget Australian horror flick of the same name). You still with me? Good. Rumor is that Jewel was either too difficult to work with or not available to star in the remake (or perhaps just didn't feel like making the same bloody movie again) and so she's no longer in it. I'm outlining all this, because there seems to be all kinds of confusion surrounding which film is which and what...
