Kingdom Come Gets A Poster to Sell at Cannes

Matchbox Pictures, the studio behind one of the most surprising  films of 2012 Devil Seed, are back with Kingdom Come. This is Greg A. Sager's follow up to Devil Seed and the sales art poster was just released and damn, it looks bad ass I must say. This film will be screening at the Cannes Film Festival thanks to Imagination WorldWide.

Plot Synopsis
"A group of strangers awake, trapped inside an old abandoned mental hospital. With no apparent way out and no one being able to remember how they even got there they begin searching for a way to escape. As they explore the cold, dark maze of corridors they realize they are not alone and that they are being stalked by supernatural forces with sinister intentions.
For Sam (Ry Barrett) and Jessica (Camille Hollett-French) keeping Celia, (Ellie O'Brien) the youngest member safe proves to be just as difficult as keeping the group together as hostilities grow between them. Everyone begins to question each others motives as secrets linking their pasts are revealed and that someone within the group is not who they say they are. One by one they begin to disappear, all that is left behind to be found by the others is the devastation and carnage of their demise.
As everything and everyone unravels they start to understand that all the windows that have been boarded up from the inside is not so much to keep them in, but keep whatever evil lurks outside…out. In this place nothing is as it seems and the decisions they make here will seal their fate forever."

The ABC's of Death Is Hoping Next Time You Will Sing With Them (Updated Story)

The unique and artistic anthology horror film The ABC's of Death is getting a sequel. Variety is saying that the producers of the original film have plans for a sequel to be released at Cannes. The only directors that have been announced for this installment is Alex de la laglesia and the director from Room 237 Rodney Ascher as well as animator Bill Plympton. We also have just learned that Twisted Twins Jen and Sylvia Soska will be attached and so will Marcus Dunstan director of The Collector and The Collection.
Art Timpson producer had this to say:

"This time around we're all determined to expand the concept to even more hyperkinetic, comically deranged and mortally dizzying heights of someone can shuffle off this mortal coil." - Art Timpson 

I still think it would be better as a TV show and instead of giving the directors 5 minutes of screen time they can give them an hour and each episode is another letter of the alphabet.
