You know exactly what you’re getting into with a film like The Disco Exorcist, especially given that the film opens with a disclaimer that exclaims the producers can’t even remember making the movie! A grindhouse-inspired sexploitation flick the film follows Rex Romanski, a swinger, a womaniser and nightclub dancer. His aim in life is to seduce women and then casually dump them. However one day Rex meets his match in Rita Marie, a conquest who also happens to be a black magic priestess. When he spurns Rita for porn starlet Amoreena Jones, she reigns all hell down on him in a rampage of demonic possession, murder and mayhem.
In all fairness I wasn’t expecting much from this film. I’ve been watching a number of low-budget,...

For 25 years the magazine has chronicled the births, marriages and lovely homes of the stars – and it has changed the media's agenda
So many contracts have been signed and so many celebrity parties photographed since the first edition of Hello! went on sale in Britain 25 years ago, it is hard to pick out the most celebrated. Would it perhaps be the wedding of Paul and Sheryl Gascoigne in 1996, or perhaps one of Elton John's regular white tie and tiara affairs? Only a few of the big ones, such as Madonna's marriage to Guy Ritchie at Skibo castle in 2000, have eluded its pages. On Wednesday, however, the magazine's joint editors, Rosie Nixon and Ruth Sullivan, will be throwing a party of their own in London "to say thank you to those who have contributed to the magazine over the years".
"It is going to be a glamorous cocktail party and very exciting,...

Stories like this one are why I love writing for Dread Central. Where else could we learn about a movie called The Disco Exorcist?!?
From the Press Release:
Scorpio Film Releasing is proud to announce that their next production will be The Disco Exorcist, a blood-soaked tale of revenge, sex, black magic, disco dancing, and mountains of cocaine. New England genre film director Richard Griffin takes on his bloodiest, sexiest film yet with a production so lurid that only a rating of Nc-17 will suffice.
As with Griffin’s spot-on genre throwback Nun of That and Beyond the Dunwich Horror, The Disco Exorcist promises to be a pitch perfect representation of the 1970’s exploitation genre. "In this age of soulless state-of-the-art, 3D, IMAX CGI-laden 'filmmaking', we thought it would be exciting to bring the art of cinema back to its most basic. Film. Real film ... with grain and scratches, warts and all.

Indie filmmaker Richard Griffin, director of Splatter Disco and Creature From The Hillbilly Lagoon among others, is getting ready to premiere his latest feature, the “splatter-filled supernatural action/comedy” Nun Of That. He has also debuted the movie’s trailer (warning: not work-safe), which you can see below.
Nun Of That, produced by Griffin’s usual filmmaking partner Ted Marr, stars Sarah Nicklin (another of his regulars) as Sister Kelly Wrath, who’s got a habit…of flying off the handle. “After being gunned down in an alley, she ascends to heaven to receive training from some of the great figures of religious mythology. She is then set back to Earth to join the other members of the Order of the Black Habit, a group of supernatural vigilante nuns, as they fight evil and seek revenge against the mob.” The cast also includes Brandon Luis Aponte, Alexandra Cipolla, Michael Reed,...
