Stars: Richard Harfst, Sian Altman, Louis James, George Nettleton, Sarah Alexandra Marks, Judy Tcherniak | Written by Matthew B.C., Scott Jeffrey, Mario von Czapiewski | Directed by Matthew B.C.
It’s usually not a good sign when a film has more than one title, so the fact that H.P. Lovecraft’s Monster Portal has been known simply as Monster Portal, as well as The Offering and Paranormal Cemetery, was a bit troubling. Being a Scott Jeffrey production It was already something of a crapshoot whether or not it would be any good so I approached it with fairly low expectations.
Director Matthew B.C. (Medusa) wrote the script from a story by Jeffrey and Mario von Czapiewski and he certainly gets things off to a good enough start. Peter records a message to his estranged daughter Celine (Sian Altman; The Curse of Humpty Dumpty) before allowing himself to be sacrificed to...

Stars: Tyler Gallant, Elissa Dowling, Sarah French, Felissa Rose, Tiffani Fest, Brandon Rhea, Kwame Head | Written by Mario von Czapiewski | Directed by Marcel Walz
Written by Mario von Czapiewski and with Marcel Walz (who remade Blood Feast back in 2016) as director, Rootwood is a horror flick about a couple of student podcasters named William and Jessica who are making a documentary about the myth of The Wooden Devil. Entering a forest by the name of… wait for it… Rootwood Forest, they, along with a recruit named Erin, go about investigating this creature and the truths about its existence. Think The Blair Witch Project with a modern twist, and you’ve got an idea of what the inspiration behind Rootwood is.
Now, as far as quality goes, this is a film of two halves, at least as far as I’m concerned. For a good 45 minutes or so I was getting...

Another found footage movie about a film crew encountering supernatural shenanigans is in production, but this one has a twist: Not only is it coming all the way from Germany, but it's also a slasher! Here's the first word on Paranormal Demons.
The film, which bills itself as "a mix of Paranormal Activity and Friday the 13th," is directed by David Brückner from a screenplay by Mario von Czapiewski. It's produced by Brückner and stars Roland Freitag, Annika Strauss, Manoush, and Michael Krug.
In addition, it was just announced that American shock rocker Demon Boy has joined the soundtrack.
Even though it's being shot in Germany this October, Paranormal Demons will be all in English and internationally sold. The project is fully funded but has a Startnext page with all excess proceeds going toward improving the quality of the film.

Director Marcel Walz posted on his YouTube Channel a video interview with Seed 2 star Christa Campbell, and we have it for you here along with some early details on the film's soundtrack.
In this chat with Campbell, she touches upon what attracted her to the project despite the grueling conditions inherent in shooting in the desert, the realistic special effects work in the film, her working relationship with director Walz, all the blood and guts of Seed 2: The New Breed, and lots more.
We also heard from Mario von Czapiewski (writer/producer of Cannibal Diner), who is arranging the soundtrack of the film. So far he's lined up The Ragdolls and popular American crunkcore group Dot Dot Curve.
