In the sun soaked citadel of Transylvania’s Sighisoara, a short carriage ride from the Carpathian mountains, something sinister is stirring. Thankfully it’s not the undead Count prepping for a local blood forage. Arrangements are underway for the third International Vampire Film and Arts Festival (also known as VampFest). The event is “an intense four day programme of film screenings, performance art, book readings, product launches, Q&As, seminars, workshops, networking events and lots of parties”, all based within the actual birthplace of Vlad Tepes (Aka the Impaler).
New films from all over the world will be screening, including Ghost Dog Films’ Crucible of the Vampire (with writers and producer in attendance), Denise Castro’s Dracula and Rose of Blood. Several short films will also be screened, all about the blood-sucking undead! And what better a location to watch a crypt full of vamp flicks than in the ancient...

Not even a year has passed since The Brooklyn Horror Film Festival emerged as a must-attend genre festival, but year two is already looking to cement such talk. We Got This Covered reported from the trenches last October, where I served as one of the festival’s inaugural judges. The films were strong and the drinks stronger, only increasing excitement for year two. Fast-forward to September 2017 and the countdown clock has just about run out. Something we couldn’t be happier for.
Birth.Movies.Death. was lucky enough to announce Brooklyn Horror’s first wave, including buzzed-about highlights such as Tragedy Girls (one of my favorites from SXSW) and Sequence Break (a Fantasia Fest favorite for me). You’ve also got Housewife, Baskin director Can Evrenol’s sophomore feature, among other notable selections. Be sure to peruse Wave 1’s sacrificial offerings, but that’s old news – are you ready for Round 2? I know,...

For several years now, I've been planning my autumn around Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, my favourite genre fest in one of my favourite places. And as the first wave of film and awards is announced, we can begin the countdown! Some of the highlights include Mateo Gil's latest Project Lazarus, about the first person to be awoken from cryogenic sleep; The Girl with All the Gifts, from Isaki Lacuesta; The Next Skin, about a disappeared boy who returns to his family, who begin to doubt his identity; and Salvation, the directorial debut of Catalan filmmaker Denise Castro. Other interesting screening include Before I Wake (Mike Flanagan), Desierto (Jonás Cuarón) with Gael García Bernal, Neon Demon (Nicholas Winding Refn), Hell or High Water...

Lionsgate announced today the limited theatrical, on demand and Digital HD release of the 2014 Sundance Film Festival documentary hit, Dinosaur 13. The film will be available day-and-date in select theaters including New York and Los Angeles, on Friday, August 15, 2014.
When renowned Paleontologist Peter Larson and his team from the Black Hills Institute made the world’s greatest dinosaur discovery in 1990, they knew it was the find of a lifetime: the largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex ever found. But during a ten-year battle with the U.S. government, powerful museums, Native American tribes and competing paleontologists, they found themselves not only fighting to keep their dinosaur but fighting for their freedom as well.
Dinosaur 13 is based on the book Rex Appeal: The Amazing Story of Sue, The Dinosaur That Changed Science, The Law and My Life by Peter Larson and Kristin Donnan.
