"It won't stop until it's finished." Gravitas Ventures has released an official US trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Shortcut, made by Italian filmmaker Alessio Liguori. This premiered at a festival in Italy last month, and opens on VOD this month in the US, if anyone is interested in giving it a watch. A group of five classmates is trapped inside their school bus after a mysterious creature invade the road. Time runs and every passing minute decreases their survival chances against the constant threats of that unknown entity. This sounds a bit like Jeepers Creepers, but looks entirely different. Starring Jack Kane, Andrei Claude, Zak Sutcliffe, Zander Emlano, and David Keyes. This looks a bit strange and isn't entirely set on the bus, but seems like a solid atmospheric horror with a creepy monster in the shadows. Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Alessio Liguori's Shortcut, direct...

Rome-based international sales outfit True Colours is launching a new platform which will enable festivals and event organizers around the world to program its films during the Covid-19 lockdown. Titled True Colours Virtual Cinema, it will be available to festivals, cultural and educational institutions, film clubs and indie exhibitors globally who are eager to continue offering product during the pandemic but do not have the technological infrastructure to set up online events.
True Colours was established in 2015 as a partnership between veteran Italian firms Lucky Red and Indigo Film. Its credits include Perfetti Sconosciuti (Perfect Strangers) which was a smash hit locally and has since become the most remade movie in history (the recent German version was that market’s No. 1 local pic of 2019). Among other catalogue titles are Edoardo De Angelis’ award winning Indivisible, Brazil’s Two Irenes, Spain’s The Open Door and genre pics The Nest and In The Trap,...

The Jack in the Box is a United Kingdom shot feature. Already released in this territory, the film is prepping for a U.S. release on DVD. In the story, a museum receives an ancient artifact. But, when the crank is turned, something emerges from within. From director Lawrence Fowler (Curse of the Witch's Doll), The Jack in the Box stars: Ethan Taylor (Blood and Bone), Robert Nairne (In the Trap) and Lucy-Jane Quinlan. The Jack in the Box is expected to release this May. A few early reviews have filtered out of the United Kingdom. Phil Wheat at Nerdly mentions the creepiness of the antagonist: "in doll form [it] is creepy enough to scare anyone but who comes alive in a more grotesque, terrifying manner when finding victims." It grows in power - the more it kills. Dante at 10th Circle also mentions how the villain stands out: "the clown that is really a demon.

Global porn icon Rocco Siffredi is set to star in “Red Academy,” an English-language horror film to be shot entirely in his academy for aspiring porn stars; however, it will not be an X-rated pic.
Rome-based True Colours has taken world sales on the film to be directed by Italy’s Alessio Liguori, whose previous chiller, the English-language “In the Trap,” was sold widely by the company earlier this year in Cannes. “Trap” signalled the resurgence of Italy’s capability to churn out genre films that can travel amid the growing global appetite for horror titles.
In “Red Academy,” two best friends named Ricky and Eve become bored with their European vacation and to spice it up visit the Rocco Siffredi Academy in Budapest. This turns out to be “a shocking journey” into a scary “underground world where mystical rituals mix with faith,” and “domination melts into adoration and violence,...

Stay out of the closet! No, seriously, you gotta stay away from that closet at the end of the hallway, because it looks like there are some nasty shenanigans going on in “Report 51″ director Alessio Liguori’s upcoming supernatural horror flick “In the Trap.” At least, that’s what I gather from the poster and a very brief, but effective teaser trailer just released for the film. Check them both out below, check them outers. So what’s it all about?
