The 2011 Viscera Film Festival Celebrates Female Horror Film Makers

Source: Rachel Grubb / Jamie Jenkins

The moment has arrived. If you think women are too soft to make cut-to-the bone horror, then this festival is for you. If you know women can be just as twisted, emotionally grinding, terror-inducing and splatter spewing as men, this festival thanks you. And if you are one of those horror chicks, this festival is because of you.

Join the celebration of contemporary female directed/produced horror films from across the globe at the 2011 Viscera Film Festival. Seating is limited and you do not want to miss this opportunity to help promote equality and creativity within the horror genre.

During the festival you will be witness to some of the most creative and original new short horror films made by women today. Some are terrifying, some are pulse pounding, and some are hilarious. All showcase what can be accomplished when twisted, cool, darkside-proud women get down to business.

It's An International Monster Movie Trailer Spectacular! SPORES / EL MONSTRO

Written By: Ken Hulsey

Sources: Avery Guerra / Robert Hood

Thanks to the advances of modern CGI effects film makers outside the United States have been able to unleash a wonderful plethora of imaginative movie monsters.

I have written alot about new monster movie projects from Asia where film makers have taken modern effects to new limits with numerous monster and sci fi films. In countries like Japan, Korea and even China traditional effects techniques have been blended to create some very good movies that in some cases rival the productions being churned out here in Hollywood.

Today I have two entries for you, one from Australia entitled "El Monstro Del Mar" where a bunch of Rockabilly chicks go on a murder spree and unwillingly unleash a monster, and yet another from Russia called "Spores" in which a meteor falls to Earth containing parasites that grow into nasty beasties with sharp pointy teeth ...... lots of em!

Now to the trailers and movie plots:

Three gorgeous but deadly hired killers, Beretta, Blondie and Snowball, hole up in a small beachside community to keep a low profile. But this town has a dark secret. The local old sea baron, Joseph, tries desperately to warn them to never go into the water. But these crazy vixens listen to no one, especially no crazy assed old fool. So the Kraken awakes! Now, along with Joseph and his beautiful grand daughter, Hannah, they must fight for their lives against this furious creature of the deep as the sea rises in a tidalwave of blood.

Starring film veteren, Norman Yemm and new comers, Nelli Scarlet, Kyrie Capri, Karli Madden and Kate Watts.

Also starring Scott Brennan (Comedy Inc, Skithouse), Steven Stagg (Flipside, Demonsamongus), Richard Wolstencroft (MUFF), Rusty Benson (Review with Myles Barlow) & David Gannon (Eraser Children).



A group of youthful friends go out of town on an outing and stumble upon an old Soviet factory. The factory has been long abandoned and is derelict. It interests them and they decide to explore and to document what they find. But their curiosity brings them face-to-face with unimaginable danger. It transpires that alien spores have come to Earth on a meteorite, and that these spores quickly multiply and take on a monstrous form once they touch the ground. Who among the group of threatened humans will fight? Who will survive? And what will the ultimate outcome of this terror be for the planet?

It has been way too long since we last checked in with one of our favorite actresses here at MIN the multitalented Rachel Grubb. Since Rachel moved from the frozen tundra of Minnesota to the ... well ..... less frozen tundra of Los Angeles she has been one busy kitten. It is for this reason that we will forgive her for not keeping us updated on all of her comings and goings. We know the girl has to work and work her ass off she does.

Today we have a few photos that Rachel has released to the public by Devon Devoor and Roberto Gamez. In both cases Devoor and Gamez have been able to capture Rachel's raw beauty.

Hats off to Devoor for the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" themed shot ..... it's really creeps

When I say Rachel has been busy I mean it. Check out this list of projects "Scream Queen Campfire", "Bad Girls Burn In Hell", "The Wasteland Horror", "Trick or Eat", "The Locals" and "Bloodstruck". There are actually more but my fingers were starting to cramp.

Here are the latest pics from Rachel's ever growing portfolio:

Star Wars Legacy Darth Talon Statue Sculpture

• Hot (but evil) collectible 12-inch resin Sith Lord statue!
• From the Legacy comic series in the Star Wars Expanded Universe.
• Darth Talon in tattoos and bikini armor with a unique lightsaber.
• She's evil, and yes, she'll go there!

It's the return of Darth Talon, Sith Vixen! A fan favorite and popular character in the Star Wars Expanded Universe, Darth Talon is cold, dispassionate and unmerciful, yet has an unshakable loyalty to the dark side. Much like the infamous Darth Maul, Talon was styled with black Sith tattoos covering her body from head to toe, each having been earned in ritual combat and inscribed by her Sith mentor... whom she killed. This expertly crafted, 1:6 scale statue features Talon's unique lightsaber and hand-painted tattoos. Standing roughly 6-inches tall, the collectible comes individually numbered with a matching certificate of authenticity. Limited edition.

Based on the long-running comic book series, the Star Wars Legacy Darth Talon Statue Sculpture is incredible! Posed using the Force and gripping her red lightsaber, this tattooed hottie is ready to slice, dice, and destroy in the name of the Sith Empire. Don't turn your back on her... but do make it a point to admire the excellent sculpting from Gentle Giant Studios!

Hey she sure is more interesting than Darth Sploder!

Sucker Punch, set in the 1950s, tells the story of Baby Doll (Emily Browning), who is trying to hide from the pain caused by her evil stepfather while imprisoned in a mental institution in which she starts to imagine an alternate reality. She plans to escape from that imaginary world, but to do that she needs to steal five objects before she is captured by an unknown adversary. In order to cope with her new stressful situation, she enters the hyper-real world of her imagination, and the lines between reality and dream begin to blur. Lessons learned in this fantasy world could help Baby Doll and her four friends escape their real-world fate.

SUCKER PUNCH - Preparing For Battle

Source: Warner Bros

Prior to filming, the five young women of "Sucker Punch" had to prepare for the physical challenges presented by the demanding action sequences in the script. They found themselves pushed to their limits in the capable hands of stunt coordinator and action designer Damon Caro and training coordinator Logan Hood, both of whom had previously worked with Zack Snyder on "300." Caro supervised the girls' martial arts, fight and weapons training, while Hood oversaw their general body conditioning.

Though training would last throughout production, it began in Los Angeles about five weeks before the cast moved up to Vancouver to start principal photography. According to Caro and Hood, the first stage provided a foundation and included basic techniques in order to assess strength and build the girls' stamina. Caro started with them each morning, running them through martial arts and empty-hand weapons choreography, tailoring each actress's regimen to her character's needs. Hood and his team, including fellow former Navy Seal David Young, took over in the afternoon with functional training, including calisthenics, weights, body-weight pull ups and push ups, jumping on and off boxes, pulling tires, dragging ropes and kettlebells and more, modulating the workouts on a daily basis. The overall focus was on strength and agility so that the girls would look more athletic in their scenes, again supporting the needs of their individual characters.

According to Abbie Cornish, "We all found this thing within us that we called 'the beast.' When you think you've reached your maximum effort, if you can just find that beast within yourself to push through, you go to a whole other level. It's such an amazing feeling, that elation that comes over you."

"I'm a very active person; I run, I play sports, but I've never pushed myself to the point where I couldn't feel my arms," Jamie Chung laughs. "We had fun together and we felt the pain together. It really brought us closer and gave us a sense of camaraderie, which we carried throughout filming."

Jena Malone found a unique way to relate the training regimen to what her character would be going through. "Waking up early in the morning, doing four-to-five hours of martial arts, another two hours of strength training and then an hour or more of guns, plus fittings for corsets—another strange form of torture—that was our insane asylum," she jokes. In reality, though, she acknowledges that it helped. "That process really contributed to how we thought about our characters, living together and sweating together, seeing what our bodies could do when we really pushed ourselves as far as we could go. It really helped us hone in on who we had to be on camera."

"The great thing about all the training was that it gave us a new self-confidence, taking us to places we'd never been to before, both physically and mentally," says Vanessa Hudgens. "You have a fire in your eyes. You tell yourself you can do anything."

Because Emily Browning had to expertly handle multiple weapons simultaneously, the right-handed actress had to learn to shoot with her left hand so she could brandish a sword in her dominant hand. She relates that she felt especially empowered by the weapons training. "Learning to fight with Damon and the boys was the most fun I've had preparing for a film. The fact that I can wield a sword and fire a gun like it's second-nature is a little scary but also pretty cool in a really unexpected way."

As the story unfolds, Babydoll's fantasies take her and the other girls into vastly different worlds where they must fight adversaries ranging from armies of the undead, to dragons to cyborgs in order to retrieve the talismans—a map, fire, a knife, a key and a mysterious fifth item—that the Wise Man has advised Babydoll she'll need to escape her captors. Of course, in order to fight these enemies, the girls had to be armed to the teeth, carrying an array of weapons, including fully automatic M4 assault rifles, a variety of machineguns and sub-machineguns, Remington 12-gauge shotguns, flintlock pistols, various handguns, WWI bayonets, broad swords and a tomahawk.

The most intricate weapon created for "Sucker Punch" is the first one Babydoll receives: her samurai sword. After much testing, the design team, led by property master Jimmy Chow, settled on a wakizashi blade with a katana handle reduced in girth to fit Emily Browning's small hands and stature. The sword featured a handle of black rayskin (the belly of the Manta Ray, favored by the Japanese for its sandpaper-like quality that prevents slipping), covered with oiled brown leather, a hand-carved tsuba, or sword guard, and hand-sculpted bronze menuki, charms hidden beneath the leather. The saya, or scabbard, was made of lacquered wood festooned with snowflakes—another key symbol in the film—with a gold braid sash to fasten the sword to Babydoll's leather shoulder holster rig.

Making the sword even more about design than function, however, Zack Snyder wanted the sides of the blade engraved with symbols that, when read chronologically, reveal the entire storyline of "Sucker Punch."

Browning found that detail particularly compelling. "I thought it was so interesting that the whole story was represented along Baby's sword, because it almost sets her fate from the very beginning," she says. "She has the whole story in her hands...she just doesn't know it."

Designed by artist Alex Pardee, the engravings required a 40-hour process per blade. Two identical swords were made for the film, as well as several aluminum and bamboo replicas for the stunt fighting sequences.

"I was truly in awe of the design and workmanship that everyone put in to the making of this critical piece of not only weaponry, but storytelling," Snyder commends. "It was precisely what I had envisioned and what the movie called for, both practically and aesthetically. I always love those symbolic touches in a film that you really have to look for, but that reveal so much when you do find them."

The director's call for symbolism required customization for many of the girls' weapons, which were thus designed to relate back to the real world of each character. Blondie's tomahawk and pistol, for example, were engraved with her signature heart, while Babydoll's 1911 Colt .45 caliber handgun was carved on the slides with key symbols that appear throughout the story, such as the stuffed animal rabbit first seen in Babydoll's home, and accessorized with charms similar to those used by Japanese girls on their cellphones. Here, symbols of youth and innocence—the bunny, a baby bottle, a teddy bear—become symbols of innocence lost: an hourglass and a skull with a bow.

Some of the major weapons in the film were not tangible, but were, rather, a creation of visual and special effects, most notably a 25-foot, machinegun-toting Meka. A Japanese anime-inspired, bipedal armored fighting vehicle capable of rocketing through the sky, it was created largely by visual effects supervisor John "D.J." Des Jardins, with only a practical cockpit built for Jamie Chung's Amber to pilot from.

Though the Meka is an imposing piece of machinery, Snyder and the designers weren't without their sense of humor, painting a battle-faded pink bunny face on its front, along with the Japanese words that translated roughly to "Danger! Woman driver!"—a phrase that should be taken quite seriously as Amber fires the Meka's multiple ammunition belts.
