October 31st, 2007 — From The Feeds
Filmax is a very interesting company as pretty much every single one of their films are good, but for some odd reason look and feel exactly the same. Rumor has it the company is like the movie mafia in Spain and all the big names work for them and are in long term contracts (sell your soul to the devil!), which would explain why all these amazing directors keep making low budget films for them. [REC] is said to be one of their best films in years, which is why we're excited to tell you about Paco Plaza's next film, Circus, along with a few others film (you might already know about). Read on for the skinny.

We've been breaking all of the news behind George A. Romero's continuing zombie franchise and things we're not done - inside you'll find the AFM sales poster for Diary of the Dead 2! The diary saga continues. Our heroes, trapped in the mansion where we left them, battle waves of ravenous zombies, barely escaping alive. In search of a safe place to settle, they commandeer an abandoned ferry and sail to a deserted island, only to find that it is already populated by a civilization of the dead.

Romero's Diary of the Dead, the next episode of the saga is a violent siege set in the middle of nowhere, a desperate struggle for survival, and peace, between two tribes: the living and the living dead.

October 31st, 2007 — From The Feeds
While strutting along the AFM we stumbled upon an interesting piece of paper, which featured a small piece of art for Josef Rusnak's remake of It's Alive. Besides getting a sneak peak at the art, what was so interesting was that it was stamped with a February 19, 2007 release date. Obviously that can't be right, but I wonder if it was supposed to say 2008 or if this was old art from last year's AFM that we might have missed. Either way, read on to check it out. The Davies expecting a baby which turns out to be a monster with the nasty habit to kill when it's scared. And it's easily scared...
