About 11 years ago, Darren Lynn Bousman first got attention for directing not just Saw II, but it’s two sequels as well, and those being the three most successful movies in the franchise, he was able to go off and do his own thing, which was the horror musical, Repo! The Genetic Opera. In the time since then, Bousman has kept with a number of more personal projects, and one of them that’s finally seeing the light of day is one called Abattoir.
Bousman came up with the idea for Abattoir as a horror comic series published through Radical Publishing before adapting it into a movie starring Jessica Lowndes (90210) as reporter Julia Talben, whose sister is killed in a violent home invasion, which leads to her investigating a strange house buyer who bought the house and removed the murder room, something he’s been doing for other scenes of violent crimes.

"They're reading a book in a strange pose."#Rio2016 with @mrdanwalker on @bbcfour - anything can happen! https://t.co/sHmEl30frP— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) August 18, 2016 The Olympics represent the best in the world, and that extends to the photobombs happening during the live coverage. BBC anchor Dan Walker found that out the hard way when what appeared to be an amorous couple locked in a not-so PG embrace on the beach wound up in the background shot of his broadcast Thursday. Eagle-eyed viewers quickly chimed in on social media to alert the network and the anchor to what was happening,...

Could this be the beginning of a new Olympic sport? BBC reporter Dan Walker got an eyeful while broadcasting live from the Rio Olympics, courtesy of a couple who appeared to be getting hot and heavy on the beach behind him. Viewers speculated about the couple’s activity on social media as it unfolded, with one Twitter user noting, “There appears to be a couple potentially shagging on Copacabana beach behind Dan Walker’s head.” Also Read: Us Swimmer Fought With Gas Station Security Guard on Night of Alleged Robbery, Rio Police Say A flustered Walker attempted to explain away...

So that's Bake Off over for another year. We've witnessed baking highs, lows and a pretty big Baked Alaska controversy - all sandwiched between innuendo-filled puns from hosts Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
As we saw Nancy Birtwhistle crowned Great British Bake Off winner 2014, Richard Burr and Luis Troyano put up a worthy fight in a week full of Viennoiserie and Victoria sponges.
Digital Spy rounds up Twitter's reaction to the tense final:
For the next hour every Brit will say the word "bake" at least 1,000 times #GBBOfinal

For some, the summer is a thing of beauty; long days of sunshine, trips to the beach, and walks in the park. But for football fans, this time of year is a living hell as we eagerly await the return of Jeff Stelling and Dan Walker and some sense of normality to return to our otherwise dark and uneventful lives.
As it stand, we are currently stuck in the middle of 34 long and uninspiring days between the World Cup Final ending, and the start of the Barclays Premier League season on Saturday 16th August, and fans are becoming increasingly desperate for a football fix.
Some will choose to while those 816 hours down by going to festivals, maybe taking a little holiday, or perhaps sticking that well worn out DVD of that famous 3-0 victory in the player just one more time and reminiscing. Others however, pour over the...

With a festival of football about to take over your TV screens for the summer, we caught up with the BBC pundits and presenters heading out to Brazil to ask the big questions.
Who is going to win it? Are England doomed? And what on earth do we do if it goes to penalties?
England's chances?
Things don't look too cheery for Roy's boys. Getting out of the group stage is being treated as a major achievement, and even getting that far is being too optimistic for some of the pundits.
Mark Chapman: "I can't see them getting out of the group. I don't know if that makes me pessimistic, realistic or what. I just can't seem them getting past Uruguay. Thankfully, I think fans are more realistic and the media are being more realistic this time. We haven't seen any England players wrapped in the St George's flag saying...

This writer caught up with genre journalist and documentary filmmaker Robert Galluzzo this past Tuesday night at the Burbank, CA hot spot of horror, Dark Delicacies, as he celebrated the release of his documentary The Psycho Legacy (which that day released nationwide via Shout! Factory) with a well attended, in-store DVD signing.
It seemed an appropriate evening to pick his brain as fans and Psycho alumni arrived en masse, as did an intimidating lightning storm that hovered over the Los Angeles basin, not unlike the one Psycho star Janet Leigh drove through on her way to her eventual demise in the original 1960 Hitchcock classic, which, along with its sequels, served as the inspiration for Galluzzo’s The Psycho Legacy.
Galluzzo happily took some time out from the festivities to wax on the trials and tribulations of his long-in-the-making documentary (read our review of The Psycho Legacy here) as well as...

As we come ever closer to the UK’s October 18th DVD and Blu-ray release of Adam Green’s Frozen, we’ve found ourselves with just the thing to keep you all warm inside: Prizes! Courtesy of our friends at Momentum Pictures, we have a copy of the film on DVD, another on Blu-ray, and two Frozen t-shirts to give away!
Synopsis:
Frozen stars Shawn Ashmore (the X-Men trilogy), Kevin Zegers (Dawn of the Dead) and Emma Bell (Death in Love; New York City Serenade) as a trio of twenty-somethings – best friends Joe Lynch (Ashmore) and Dan Walker (Zegers) plus Dan’s girlfriend Parker O’Neil (Bell) – hoping to spend some quality time skiing and snowboarding in the picturesque resort of Mount Holliston. But a typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare when they find themselves unexpectedly stranded on a chairlift shortly after the ski resort closes for the week.

X-men actor Shawn Ashmore, who played Iceman in the superhero franchise, returns to a similarly chilly role in the horror flick Frozen, released in UK cinemas this week. A trailer is included below.
Hitting UK screens from September 24, the film features Ashmore alongside Kevin Zegers (Dawn Of The Dead) and Emma Bell (Death In Love; New York City Serenade) as a trio of twenty-somethings.

But a typical day on the slopes turns into a nightmare when they find themselves unexpectedly stranded on a chairlift shortly after the ski resort closes for the week.
Dangling high above the ground and with no apparent safe way down as night begins to set in, they soon realise frostbite and hypothermia are the least of their worries.

First, we got stranded scuba diving in the ocean with sharks. Then, Boobs McGee from "Chuck" got stranded in a desert canyon. They've even attempted to strand a girl in a motherfucking parking garage and still I was able to believe it. But for the love of Odin's icicle-crackling pecker. A fucking ski-lift? A Fucking Ski-lift?! Yet, for such an unbelievably retarded premise, the first half or so of Frozen -- the third horror flick from promising newbie Adam Green -- is actually pretty goddamn good. Green does an all right job setting up the dynamic between his three collegiate victims, a viable excuse for stranding them and causing monstrous peril and panic, and then torturing them with every possible trick in his NordicSack of Evil. Oh, sure, there are logic gaps that you could lob a walrus through, but really, you just signed on to watch a movie about...

Writer/director Adam Green must have a thing against snow boarding, or he wants you to. In his newest suspense thriller Frozen (2010), he introduces us to a trio of college friends on a routine snowboarding trip, who find themselves trapped on a chairlift as the resort closes down for a week. As they come to a halt high above the mountain, the lights are extinguished along with all hope of being discovered. Chilling. As they ponder their predicament, a riveting character study unfolds to reveal how these three individuals cope with the crisis at hand. Man versus Nature seems to understate the trauma associated with events and dangers these snowboarders encounter as they struggle to survive. As their fears begin to overtake them, so do the elements. Hunger, frostbite, fatigue, dehydration, and darkness all play a villainous supporting role in the film, forever lurking in the shadows, waiting to prevail.

I was in Illinois the other day, having a beer at a tavern, when my attention was captured by a surreal commercial playing on the TV above the bar. It was the debut political ad of Andy McKenna, a businessman who recently resigned his position as chairman of the state G.O.P. so that he can run for govenor. It's a remarkable spot, in that it uses Rod Blagojevich's toupee-like mop as a symbol of all the corruption that has bedeviled Illinois for the last three decades. Three governors who were earlier convicted of crimes, Otto Kerner, Dan Walker, and George Ryan, are pictured with Blago wigs Photoshopped onto their scalps. In other words, McKenna’s team is trying to tar all of Illinois machine politics with the same Blago hairbrush, or smear it with the same grooming pomade, or—er, whatever tonsorial metaphor works for you.
