The omnibus chiller The Theatre Bizarre has its first trailer and it’s all kind of sickness. Thanks to Dread Central!
The project’s six filmmakers have all made at least one modestly budgeted and internationally acclaimed movie in the horror field. The films of Douglas Buck include the 2003 Sitges sensation Family Portraits: A Trilogy Of America and the recent remake of Brian DePalma’s Sisters. Buddy Giovinazzo exploded onto the genre scene with 1986′s Combat Shock and went on to write and direct such features as the Tim Roth-starrer No Way Home and last year’s acclaimed ensemble drama Life Is Hot In Cracktown (adapted from his novel), as well as numerous works for German television. UK native David Gregory is the industry’s foremost documentarian of horror films on DVD, and his 2008 feature debut Plague Town was hailed as “a nightmare captured on celluloid” by Fangoria. In...

In early 2009, Severin's Evan Husney came across a very strange sight while checking out the scene at the Sundance Film Festival. It was a mini-van adorned with numerous promotional flyers and a fake bird fake attacking from the hood. Turns out, the driver was the creator of a film called Birdemic: Shock and Terror, which is, by any standard metric, a very bad film. However, Evan saw something in the passion of the filmmaker and his film and convinced his partners to take a look. This chance encounter led to several firsts for Severin Films. Birdemic: Shock and Terror became Severin's first contemporary acquisition, it also became the first film that they decided to release theatrically. Contrary to all logic, Birdemic has taken off, no pun intended, and the story isn't over yet.

We've been waiting a long time to announce this one. Former Rue Morgue magazine editor-in-chief Vuckovic is about to shoot her directorial debut - a monster movie short produced by del Toro.
Knowing what we do of the director/writer's tastes in horror, we're expecting something creepy, but beautiful. The 'fairy tale' aspect to the storyline also seems appropriate for del Toro's mentorship. If there's one thing del Toro does well, it is fantastical imagery.
“Jovanka’s vision has been honed to perfection and combines true poetry with savage instinct,” says del Toro. “[It’s] lyrical and brutal. Just what the doctor ordered.”
“The Captured Bird is inspired in part by a childhood nightmare, the writings of H. P. Lovecraft, the fables of the Brothers Grimm and the paranormal phenomenon referred to as The Shadow People,” explains writer-director Vuckovic. “It’s sort of a dark fable that I hope people will find haunting,...

Let us be clear ... Jovanka Vuckovic is the most rock and roll chick we know. Seriously, when it comes to being a female horror fan, or even just a die-hard horror fan of any sex, look no further than her for a role model. When she left her position as editor at Rue Morgue Magazine, we knew she'd be back ... and she is ... with a vengeance!
