Aside from the expected coverage of the genre's latest underground and wide-release emergences (Norway's THE TROLL HUNTER, PRIEST 3D), FANGORIA's latest issue is a retro-head's paradise. There are interviews with John Carpenter on his killer-car classic CHRISTINE; Shelley Duvall on her indelible work in THE SHINING; words with Dyanne Thorne on her iconic exploitation role as Nazi She-Wolf Ilsa; a look at Rutger Hauer (HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN)'s storied career; Nancy Allen even shares her experience on De Palma's BLOW OUT, as the film nears its coveted Criterion release.
I've got reviews on the After Dark Originals series' HUSK and PROWL, and one of David Carradine's (unfortunate) last films, DARK FIELDS, formerly titled THE RAIN. Trailers for those films are below. 303 is on shelves now, be sure to seek it out!
PROWL Amber dreams of escaping her small town existence and persuades her friends to accompany her to find an apartment in the big city. When their transportation breaks down, she and her friends gratefully accept a ride in the back of a semi. But when the driver refuses to stop and they discover the cargo is hundreds of cartons of blood, they panic. Their panic turns to terror when the truck disgorges them into a dark, abandoned warehouse where blood-thirsty creatures learn to hunt human prey.
HUSK A group of friends stranded near a desolate cornfield find shelter in an old farmhouse, though they soon discover the dwelling is the center of a supernatural ritual.
DARK FIELDS A farmer unearths an old top hat on his property and with it an ancient Indian curse that lays waste to all the farmers crops. All of the adults of the farming community are afflicted by a strange sickness that slowly dries them up until they are dust. It is only when the farmer communes with the hat does he find what it is that will save them all.
