Chiller TV's made-for-tv production, Ghoul, premiered last month at the Slamdance Film Festival. Premiering Friday April 13 at 9pm, Bloody Disgusting has been provided with the official trailer for Brian Keene's flick that's based on a horror novel of the same name.

Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that Moderncine's next film will be called Jug Face and will be shooting in Nashville, Tn in April. As a fan of The Woman I'm pretty excited about the package they've put together. Lauren Ashley Carter and Sean Bridgers (both from The Woman) will be playing the lead roles of Ada and Dawai. The rest of the ensemble cast includes Larry Fessenden (Stake Land, I Sell The Dead) and Sean Young (Blade Runner, Wall Street) playing husband and wife as Ada's parents and Graham Patrick Martin ("Two and a Half Men", Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door) playing Ada's brother, Jessaby. Writer/Director Chad Crawford Kinkle will be helmer and Cinematographer Chris Heinrich will be shooting. Producers are Andrew van den Houten and Robert Tonino(Brian Keene's Ghoul/The Woman) for MODERNCINÉ. Kinkle's original script for the film won Slamdance's screenplay competition last year.

I have watched thousands of movies throughout my life and I am one of those folks who enjoys films from every single genre but in particular films that leave their mark on me long after I turn them off. I own well over 500 horror films and of those some are so disturbing that they have stuck with me to this day. Its worth noting that I am not a fan of gore and I am not a fan of films like Hostel which for me are nothing but torture porn. Gore for the sake of gore does nothing for me but movies with intricate stories and truly disturbing content and messages not only resonate with me but leave me truly terrified. This list is the 10 Most Disturbing films that offer enticing stories, great characters, and most of all a truly terrifying experience.

In the past ten years MODERNCINÉ has been dedicated to making high-quality, groundbreaking and edgy horror films avoiding clichés and complacency in favor of original ideas and memorable performances. Founded by Andrew van den Houten during his college years, Andrew began producing and directing a number of award-winning short films including the 2005 multiple award winning Headspace, MODERNCINÉ's first full-length feature. Headspace began a winning streak for Van den Houten producing Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door and Home Movie (directed by Christopher Denham [1]) which  received favorable reviews at Montreal's [2] 2008 Fantasia Film Festival [3]. Recently Sound On Sight had a chance to catch up with Andrew and discuss his recent release, Offspring. 1- Offspring is your debut feature.

Andrew van den Houten’s Offspring is pretty close to the top of my list for most anticipated adaptations of 2009. The Jack Ketchum book on which it’s based is one of my favorites, and this story has been a long time coming to the big screen!

Van den Houten recently dropped us a line with some kind words and two exclusive shots from the film! ”As a fan of Dread Central and the awesome coverage they do for the horror genre, I am thrilled to release these two Offspring photos exclusively,” he told us. “Now that we are less than a month away from completing Offspring, we are excited to start building the buzz and spreading the word about the film anywhere and everywhere. ModernCine's films heavily rely on the support of the fans first as we are a fully independently run company. The first screening for potential distributors...
