So, what if, like, hot older women who like to score with younger dudes (you know - cougars) actually turned into - like - cougars?
Ningen Manga is the production company that brought us Women's Studies, the horrific exploration of feminist extremism and female identity. Now Lonnie Martin and Cindy Marie Martin, the filmmaking partnership, are addressing another of society's stereotypes of women. And they're doing it with a really clever twist.
Cougars is about a girl named Sasha, a teenager at constant odds with her slutty Cougar/Milf mom, Bastet. When Sasha's young friend Stuart decides to walk her home from school, she becomes forced to confront the dark secret that makes her more like her mother than she'd care to admit.
What I can only hope ate actual "cougar transformations" (please please please) are created by Spaghetti Industries FX artists Christain Quarantillo & Scott Simpson (Laid to Rest 1 & 2, Deadlands...

Ningen Manga Productions has whipped up a teaser for Cougars , a new project hitting the film fest circuit this fall. Full press release and teaser below. Since Cougars is a horror movie, it's not a spoiler alert to say some of the characters go through some literal transformation before all is said and done. Nmp teamed up with Spaghetti Industries FX artists Christain Quarantillo & Scott Simpson (Laid to Rest 1&2, Deadlands 1&2, the upcoming Area 51) to bring that transformation to life. Says Quarantillo, "Not many people are making monster movies anymore, so it was great to sink our teeth into something different. I'm really pleased with how the effects turned out." Adds Producer Cindy Marie Martin, "We've known the Spaghetti 'dudes' for a long...

Lonnie Martin and Cindy Marie Martin of Ningen Manga Productions dropped us a line with an update on Women’S Studies, the feminism-oriented fright feature that, at last report, was slated to hit DVD this year. Lonnie, who wrote and directed the movie, reveals why that hasn’t happened—and how the flick has been improved as a result.
“In October 2008, we rendered the services of a sales agent who quickly got us a direct-to-dvd distribution deal,” he tells Fango. “However, due to the economic climate, the company sat on it, giving us a vague ‘fall 2009’ release promise. As we got into this past summer, it become clear that they had lost interest in Women’S Studies. They had a couple of low-budget horror titles with no marquee stars bomb, and decided they didn’t want to release Studies. At that point, we were stuck waiting out various contracts.
“So,...

Writer/director/co-producer Lonnie Martin gave Fango the scoop that Mti Home Video has picked up his debut feature Women’S Studies. “A lot of work and love was put into this film,” he tells us, “and I’m thrilled people are finally going to get the chance to see it.”
Women’S Studies is about a graduate student in the titular subject who, along with three friends, winds up on the campus of a girls-only academy with an empowering feminist doctrine. The longer they stay, however, the more they discover about the school’s dark and violent side. The filmmaker’s wife, Cindy Marie Martin, co-produced and stars alongside Tara Garwood, Melisa Breiner, Laura Bloechl, James Radack, Kelley Slagle and Night Of The Living Dead’s Judith O’Dea.
“Mti is a perfect fit,” Martin says. “Not only do they have a lot of respect for the horror genre,...
