At 3pm, I will be there to see IF A TREE FALLS (I did miss it at Fantasia…shame on me). Director Philip Carrer and writer/producer Ryan Barrett wil be there to present their film. OH MY, I think I will now have the time to rest because right after, there’s a film I really want to see. I did see the trailer and talk about it here a couple a months ago. LONG PIGS at 5pm again in room 206b !

On Sunday I’ll wake up and go back in room 206b at 12pm because GRAVEYARD PICTURE SHOW will be on the screen. GPS is Seven twisted tales of the undead from some of underground horrors most notorious directors. And it appears that DiggerFilms’s director Steve Villeneuve directed one of the seven tales : NIGHTMARISH ORGASM.  The following film to see is DEAD GENESIS a Canadian zombie flick. And Finally, at 4pm don’t miss Midnight Syndicate Ed Douglas who will be in room 206A for a screening of THE DEAD MATTER. Starring Andrew Divoff, Jim O’Rear and Tom Savini .

DIGGER WEDNESDAY – Pig Hunt world Premiere

In 2008, we were making some On site report for the Fantasia Film Festival. This one is with the Pig Hunt cast & crew and the interviews were made by Tony Timpone from Fangoria.

pighuntposter-approvedWhen John takes his San Francisco friends to his deceased uncle’s remote ranch to hunt wild pigs, it seems like a typical guys weekend with guns – despite the presence of John’s sexy girlfriend Brooks. But as John and his crew trek deeper into the forest, they begin tracking the awful truth about his uncle’s demise and the legend of The Ripper — a murderous three-thousand-pound black boar! Their pursuit leads them through fields of marijuana and into the muddy landscape of Big Wallow, involving high-powered weaponry, the violent and unpredictable Tibbs Brothers, massacred emus, a machete-toting Hippie Stranger, vengeful rednecks, and throat-slitting Cult Girls who grow dope by day and worship a Giant Killer Pig by night. By the time the pig hunt is done, no one is innocent – or unscathed. Not for the faint of heart, PIG HUNT is a darkly comic horror film that combines the best of DELIVERANCE, JAWS, and DINER, but remains uniquely Nor-Cal in its tone and scope. It is cinematic punkabilly – fresh, shocking, unforgettable!

BIG NEWS CONCERNING UNDER THE SCARES !

A couple of weeks ago, DiggerFilms announced that the premiere of our their documentary Under the Scares will take place in New York City on May 29th at the Tribeca Cinemas at 7h30pm. Under the Scares primarily aims at understanding the process’ involved in the making of an independent horror film and this odd industry and interviewees includes : Robert Kurtzman (“From Dusk Till Dawn,” “The Rage”), Herschell Gordon Lewis (the Godfather of Gore, “Blood Feast”), Lloyd Kaufman (Troma Entertainment), Tony Timpone (Fangoria Magazine), Debbie Rochon (Scream Queen), Gary Jones (“Xena, Warrior Princess,” “Boogeyman 3”), Rodrigo Gudino (Rue-Morgue Magazine). But this morning, we learn that legendary horror director, Frank Henenlotter have been added to the “roster” of Under the Scares.

Henelotter’s films were inspired by the exploitation and sexploitation films he loved, the kind which played on 42nd Street in New York City in the 1960s and 1970s. His films are low-budget and filled with gore and special-effects. They are considered by many to be B-movies, but they also turned the conventions of these films upon themselves. Although many of his films are somewhat obscure, his most well-known are Basket Case, Brain Damage and Frankenhooker.

In 2008, Henellotter directed Bad Biology.

Driven by biological excess, a young man and woman search for sexual fulfillment, unaware of each other’s existence. Unfortunately, they eventually meet, and the bonding of these two very unusual human beings ends in an explosive and ultimately over-the-top sexual experience, resulting in a truly god awful love story.

To know more about the Bad Biology, check out the Bad Biology’s IMDB page.

Right now, he’s working on a documentary about Herschell Gordon Lewis ; The Godfather of Gore.
