Watch the New Trailer for THE FETUS: Written and directed by Joe Lam, The Fetus stars Bill Moseley, Lauren LaVera, Julian Curtis, and Amy Arena, taking an unexpected twist on pregnancy horror films:
“When Alessa becomes pregnant, it brings up Chris’ deep-rooted trauma surrounding fatherhood. Upon discovering that their fetus craves human blood, they visit their father, Maddox, for answers.”
Producer Brent Trotter shares his thoughts on The Fetus’ timely message and what makes it stand out: “This gripping humorous horror film delves into a thought-provoking pro-choice/pro-life debate, over a demonic fetus growing inside a woman’s body. I believe it’s a timely exploration given the upcoming election cycle that will inevitably thrust this topic into the national spotlight again. What sets THE FETUS apart is its ability to resonate deeply with younger diverse audiences, particularly capturing the attention of female viewers, especially mothers or those navigating pregnancy. The film’s compelling narrative, coupled with Lauren Lavara’s standout performance, promises an immersive experience.”

RIP Experimental Collection Trailer: “7 years in the making, RIP (Recovery in progress) is an experimental short film collection.
To date, the shorts have screened at selected genre film festivals around the world and have picked up numerous awards. With the exception of Fried Barry, none of these nave been released online as the intention was always to release them as an impactful collection.”
DIRECTOR’S NOTE
“I had found myself at a point in my career, where I was frustrated with purely investing my time and energy in music videos alone. I had full
creative control with each video’s narrative and how they were shot. However, I was still restricted by music genre and content. I felt that I
couldn’t push the boundaries or visual style I wanted to be known for as an artist.
Even though, I was able to work on a number of great projects like music videos, commercials and the odd short film – and was recognised
as one of the top music video directors in South Africa – I still wanted to bring my own unique flavour and directing style to the big screen .
These creative restrictions built up feelings of depression and deep frustration at the lack of artistic expression that I was confined to. So
I decided, I would work towards completing a number of experimental films that allowed me to truly express myself and fulfill my creative
needs. This led to a 7 year project that I am proud to present to the world and looking back I am grateful for the hard times, as this collection of short films was the creative seed that led to the birth of my feature film, Fried Barry.”

One of Tony Todd’s Last Spine-Chilling Performances in “Werewolf Game”: “Todd’s legacy lives on through his legendary portrayals in films like Candyman, Final Destination and Platoon, as well as one of his final performances in Werewolf Game by emerging directors Jackie Payne and Cara Claymore, where he delivers a role that encapsulates his powerful presence in the horror genre. The trailer for Werewolf Game offers a glimpse into this chilling thriller, highlighting Todd’s unique talent and his lasting impact on cinema.
Werewolf Game is to be released by The Horror Collective on January 21st, available on-demand and across digital platforms, giving fans a chance to experience one of Tony Todd’s last performances in a story that celebrates his dedication to bringing unforgettable characters to life.
Producer Rob Margolies commented: “Tony Todd was one of the most generous and kind actors I’ve ever worked with. He will be sorely missed!” Werewolf Game reunites Todd with Margolies’s Different Duck Productions who produced 2020’s Immortal which Todd starred in.
In Werewolf Game, a group of strangers is thrust into a deadly game of deception and survival, with Todd’s character bringing an intense layer of intrigue. The film promises to immerse viewers in a suspenseful narrative where trust is tested, and no one is truly safe.
Aside from the legendary Todd, Werewolf Game also stars Lydia Hearst, Bai Ling, Teala Dunn, and Picardo. In addition to directing, Payne wrote the screenplay, while Claymore stepped into the action herself by joining the cast.”
