Get Franco! Australia bans another film Directed, co-written and edited by Alberto Viavattene, the horror short film Morgue Street, inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's story, was scheduled for a screening at the A Night of Horror Film Festival, which runs until April 21 in Sydney. However, some serious problems arose: Two days prior to the show, the Australian Classification Board, the same bastions of morality who denied a classification for Travis Mathews' gay -- and sexually explicit -- sort-of love story I Want Your Love earlier this year -- thus irritating James Franco, who created a protest video -- , put a stake through Morgue Street's heart with an Rc -- "Refused Classification" -- rating, officially as a result of "material that is considered to offend against the standards of morality, decency and propriety generally accepted by reasonable adults." Left bleeding by the Australian censorship board, Morgue Street cannot...

The theme for this year’s B-Movie, Underground and Trash Film Festival, held in the city of Breda in the Netherlands, is “Apocalypse.” So get ready to watch the world end dozens of different ways on Sept. 5-9 at various venues around the city.
The fun kicks off on the 5th with the German movie Hell by director Tim Fehlbaum. If you didn’t know, “hell” means “bright” in German and, given that title, this flick is set appropriately in a post-apocalyptic future where global warming has decimated the planet and surviving tribes battle for water and food.
Other post-apocalyptic visions include Milan Konjevic’s Zone of the Dead starring legendary zombie killer Ken Foree; Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro’s Bazillian underground hit Beyond the Grave about a world where magic and madness rule the world; and Rob van Eyck’s bizarrely twisted Afterman and Afterman 2.

~Possible spoilers ahead~"Morituris", directed by Raffaele Picchio, will always be remembered as the first slasher film to cast a crew of gladiators to do its choppings. The film starts off with a brilliant scene: a shabby 8mm depiction of a family picnic which goes awry. Two parents notice that their little daughter is nowhere to be found. The girl is actually with her loving, perhaps too loving, uncle. He's taking her far away from her father and mother so he could have his way with her. Unfortunetly for him, he just picked the worst place to unleash his cruelty: A memoriam site for the mythological gladiators. In doing so he has managed to awaken the legendary warriors from their deep muscle n' beauty sleep. Say goodbye...

Extreme horror fits extreme metal like a hand in a bloody glove, and the Italian gore flick Morituris (which we first viewed at this year's Fantasia Film Fest) is case in point. The filmmakers have premiered a trailer for the film, set to the infernal sounds of controversial black metal unit Rotting Christ. On the flipside, we've got more info on the film itself, which features makeup effects by renowned artist Sergio Stivaletti, an icon among fans of classic Italian horror. The clip features some nudity and graphic violence, so it's definitely not work-safe. Check it out below! Directed by Raffaele Picchio, Morituris is the tale of rogue gladiators from the days of Spartacus who, after going on a rampage of rape...

Morituris
Directed by Raffaele Picchio
Written by Gianluigi Perrone, based on a story by Raffaele Picchio and Tiziano Martella

Dear Ricky D,
Thank you for getting me the ticket. I know that I promised to write a review of the film, but…
This is only half a review of Morituris.
Turns out that is the kind of film where the question isn’t will you walk out, but when will you walk out.
I made it about an hour, finally giving up after the scene featuring a gagged, bound, spread-eagled prostitute, an incredibly long hollow glass tube, a mouse and a drop of acid on the prostitute’s vagina to bloody her up a little, the better to attract the mouse. Oddly, the most offensive part of that scene was the gag.
I don’t walk out of many films. It was the first film that I...

When it comes to horror films that hail from the great land of Italy, you never know what you're going to get -- but you can bet it will probably be pretty aggressive. From the classic days of Bava, Argento and Fulci to today's film festival fare, Italy certainly does deliver horror films of a decidedly controversial nature. One of their most recent exports, Raffaele Picchio's Morituris, is sure to earn itself lots of post-screening chit-chat as it bounces across the festival circuit. Rarely am I of two distinct minds on one specific film, but I really am torn on this one. Let's start with the good news: This is a brutal, unrelenting, and frequently unpredictable piece of survival horror. Although we...

Get ready for a boatload of goodies from the new flick getting ready to make its debut at the Fantasia International Film Festival 2011, Morituris! Tread carefully, though ... there's some full frontal lurking about so this stuff is Not Safe For Work. Unless of course you work here where we like the naughty bits!
Dig on the goods below for the flick, which features some top notch and gooey F/X work from the great Sergio Stivaletti.
Synopsis
Rome in 73 B.C. Spartacus led the rebellion of 200 gladiators which saw them opposed to the inhumanity Rome had forced them into. During the riot they resisted for a long time against Roman soldiers. Few against a whole army. Some of them went crazy and started murders, rapes and violence. Spartacus punished them with death. But in those lands, when blood gets shed, they come back.
