Mid-July is going to be a good time for DVD and Blu-ray releases featuring people getting eaten alive. Dinocroc and Supergator take time out between rounds to devour anyone in their path. Native American lycan legends go on the prowl in Maneater and Monster Wolf. Most importantly, the Australian Open Water-ish shark thriller The Reef finally surfaces on American shores.
The people chomping begins on July 12th when Anchor Bay releases the Roger Corman produced, Jim Wynorski directed, Syfy original creature feature Dinocroc vs. Supergator (review here). The late David Carradine makes one of his final appearances in this monstrous smackdown that sees genetically engineered reptilian rivals escaping their confines and chomping their way through a series of scientists, tourists, and bikini babes in Hawaii. The actors chew the scenery almost as much as the monsters.

Allison Kyler is one of the "Scream Queens" from the second season of the hit horror influenced VH1 show in which ten up and coming actresses competed for a role in Saw 3D. Even though she didn't make it to the finale where Gabby West was crowned the winner, she left an undeniable mark. Her combination of strong dancing skills, a sizzling screen presence and a tuff take no prisoner's kind of attitude made her stand out on the show while some of the other contestants faded into the background. Allison Kyler's dance skills paid off after she got kicked off from the show, because they lend themselves to an inherent understanding of how to move about on screen which gave her a distinct advantage when it came time to book jobs and take advantage of the exposure that the show granted. Some of those roles include the upcoming CW inspired slasher C.L.A.S.S.

The first trailer dropped for Michael Emanuel's spiritual creature-feature based on the Algonquian Wendigo myth and I'm still trying to figure out if it'll be worth tracking down when it finally arrives. It looks like it's well made and full of some decent creature scares, but the way the promo's cobbled together just isn't doing it any favors.
Synopsis:
A former FBI profiler, now a sheriff of a small town and a single parent of a high school aged daughter, begins to profile a series of unexplained murders only to learn that the monster he's profiling may be himself.
Maneater stars a decent cast in Dean Cain, Conrad Janis ("The Cable Guy"), Stephen Lunsford, Walter Phelan ("House of 1000 Corpses"), Maximillian Roeg and Lacy Phillips ("Pushing Twilight").
Trailer after the break.

Been a while, Maneater , since we've heard about you. Yet here you are, coming back into our lives, promising creature feature suspense with a promo trailer whipped up by Arsenal Pictures. And do you look good? Hell no. In fact, if you wind up on SyFy, I wouldn't be surprised. You do star Dean Cain, after all. Synopsis: An FBI profiler-turned-small-town sheriff begins investigating a series of mysterious murders only to discover that the monster he's profiling might be himself.

You know things are askew in Hollywood when Dean Cain joining a film warrants a mention in The Hollywood Reporter. I don’t really know how it’s possible, but for some reason the fact that Cain has signed on for Michael Emanuel’s Maneater is trade-worth information...
Maneater follows a former FBI profiler, now a small town sheriff, who begins to look into a series of murders derived from a local Native American legend. He soon discovers that the monster responsible may be himself.
Conrad Jenis (The Cable Guy), Walter Phalen (House of 1000 Corpses), Lacy Phillips (Pushing Twilight) and Stephen Lunsford will be joining Cain in Emanuel’s directorial debut. This is the second of ten planned independently financed films from Canal Street, the first being The Uninvited, which features most of the same cast.
