New: It Ate His Face

Nice title, eh? It's the Truth-in-Advertising title of a new independent horror flick that features rampaging prehistoric parasites. From the trailer they don't appear to be particularly large, but they are insistent.

It Ate His Face (US-2009; dir. Aramis Sartorio)

Synopsis:
After setting out to research an unknown section of the great lakes in Michigan, four adventurous students find themselves battling crazed rednecks, and something lurking in the water the hasn’t evolved in over 250 million years. This prehistoric parasitic monster has turned the once quintessential eco-system in this small town flat on its back and all living creatures are soon finding themselves prey to it. Initially distracted by the good time they are having and the loss of their friend’s brother in a sick and twisted unexplained accident only a month before, they find themselves trapped in a gruesome situation as old as time itself - will they kill or be killed? They will discover that this evolutionary phenomenon is as deep and wide and dark as the great lake they came to research - if they survive.

Dinocorman vs Supercorman



First Roger Corman, B Film King, brought us Dinocroc (US-2004; dir. Kevin O'Neill), which featured genetic experimentation using the DNA of a prehistoric predator that has a one-night stand with the DNA of a modern-day crocodile, resulting in bloody hybrid-monster rampage.



Then Rog decided to produce an unofficial sequel called Supergator (US-2007; dir. Brian Clyde) that featured genetic experimentation using the fossilised DNA of a prehistoric alligator, resulting in bloody hybrid-monster rampage.



Now we hear that the busy Jim Wynorski is set to direct Dinocroc vs Supergator (though frankly I'm disappointed that Corman has left his proposed Dino Shark out of the mix). I have no official idea what it will be about but I suspect it will feature genetic experimentation and that the two revived dino-creatures will go on a bloody hybrid-monster rampage, culminating in a punch-up of prehistoric proportions.

Hey, it's what genetic experimentation is for!

Kirk vs the Snow Monster

A clip of the "giant monster" scene from J.J. Abrams' new Star Trek movie has surfaced, showcasing the excellent design work of monster creator Neville Page. Page was the man who designed the Cloverfield monster for Abrams in his last foray into giant-monsterdom, and the lineage is pretty obvious...
