A medical scientist and his family are having dinner together in their isolated villa in the hills. But just as they’re getting comfortable, the family is assaulted by three violent, masked thugs who donʼt want money or goods, they just want to humiliate and annihilate their prey both mentally and physically. The men are playing a deadly game of cat and mouse, which will lead to the certain death of the hostages.

*full disclosure: an online screener of this film was provided by Doghouse Pictures. Director: Brini Amerigo. Writers: Brini Amerigo, Andrea Cavaletto and Marco Palese. Cast: Danny Cutler, Alex Lucchesi, Alex Southern and Kate Marie Davies. Beautiful People is a film from Rome, Italy. The film features practical effects and it will be released by Raven Banner Entertainment, shortly. The film also blends two horror sub-genres: the zombie film and the home invasion thriller. The blend of genres works here, but, Beautiful People is no Funny Games (2007), nor 28 Days Later (2002). Instead, the film stumbles to find a relevant reason for all of its violence. The character Brett (Alex Southern) tries to find a moral compass and fails. All of the other characters are even more amoral. In the end, Beautiful People is an exercise in depravity. One review mentioned that Beautiful People is nihilistic. However, the trio of writers have introduced...

The cover art for Eaters proclaims that the film is “presented by Uwe Boll.” This information should be more than enough for potential viewers to make up their minds. Mr. Boll did not direct this latest take on the zombie apocalypse, nor did he have much direct involvement with the production. So if the best your Italian zombie film has to trumpet is a tenuous association with the reviled filmmaker of House of the Dead, then you’ve already set the expectation level rather low. It turns out the Boll mention was an adequate, and honest, admonition of the resulting 95 minutes.

We return with the latest edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes release details for A Resurrection, the first teaser trailer for Ten, a review of Smiley, and much more:
First Teaser Trailer for Ten: “Ten is a collectivist, post-exploitation psychological thriller devised as a possible explanation for the events of the 1972 Spektor Island Massacre. On a cold December afternoon, ten women arrive at a mansion on Spektor Island, famed for years of reported hauntings and strange activities. Will they live through the night?
The all-female cast film is a response to exploitation, slasher, and thriller films, with particular focus on the kind of storytelling prominent in b-movies and genre films from the 1950s to the 1980s. It explores the meaning and fluidity of identity and takes a number of surprising turns, paying homage to filmmakers and producers such as Alfred Hitchcock,...

Uwe Boll didn’t actually direct Eaters but he does “present” it. Don’t let that scare you off because this Italian nod to Romero-esque zombie flicks has gotten some fairly decent reviews. We Americans will finally get our chance to get eaten this coming March.
Mark March 5th on your calendar because that’s the day the dead will be devouring DVD, the date when E1 Entertainment brings Eaters to American shores. If you want to know how long it has taken for North America to get Eaters, our own UK critic “Pestilence” penned a positive review of the UK DVD release all the way back in June 2011.
Marco Risori and Luca Boni co-directed; Guglielmo Favilla, Alex Lucchesi, Steve Sylvester, Rosella Elmi, and Richard Burton co-star; and, most importantly, Uwe Boll presents!
Synopsis:
After being devastated by a deadly epidemic, the world is now governed by hordes of living dead.

*here be some spoilers.
Directors: Luca Boni and Marco Ristori.
Writers: Germano Tarricone and Marco Ristori.
Eaters or Eaters: Rise of the Dead is an Italian film in Italian that puts two characters on the road in an apocalypse. Much of the world's population is dead and those remaining shamble the earth forever. This is a tense zombie film that focuses primarily on two characters, Igor (Alex Lucchesi) and Alen (Guglielmo Favilla). Everyone else in the film, including a midget Fascist, are just a small part of this travelling zombie road show.
Much like a circus, this new world is full of perverts, mad scientists, talking zombies and even a bloodsport arena. Igor and Alen encounter all of these situations, but they deal with them in two different ways. Alen, the introvert, would rather use his guile to deal with Carvaggio, a painter of corpses and with others. Igor, the extrovert,...

Featuring Rosella Elmi, Guglielmo Favilla, Alex Lucchesi and Elisa Ferretti
There’s something magical in learning to trust again. Since 28 Days Later’s release in 2002 we’ve seen an unholy influx of zombie movies. From high budget to low, from the big to the small screen, they all seemed to be as infectious as some unnamed disease.
As the dead perpetually rise, it’s hard to maintain an unbiased view. What started as a fun, revitalizing trend for the horror genre has become a punch-line in recent years. Eaters, however, has one of the most enticing and interesting mixtures of zombie loving lineage going for it that I’ve seen in a long time. After the Golden Age of Italian zombie flicks started by some guy named Argento, this sub-sub-genre dwindled as British and American directors took on the undead and made as many...

Guest Review by Dog Ate My Wookie
Stars: Alex Lucchesi, Elisa Ferretti, Guglielmo Favilla, Rosella Elmi | Written by Germano Tarricone, Marco Ristori | Directed by Luca Boni, Marco Ristori
To feel sceptical about a film presented by cult writer Uwe Boll feels almost universal. I’m in the same boat as a magnitude of others, right? It’s dampened further with a film titled Eaters: Rise of the Dead. Another addition to the post-apocalyptic zombie features that are churned onto DVD weekly, with most failing to strike an original spark and flailing incoherently into something that merely glorifies sanguinary carnage.
The world has become ravaged by zombies, again. But this time we’re in Italy, with the female population falling not only infected first, but being deemed infertile. Our story, however, follows two zombie hunters, Alen and Igor, under the jurisdiction of scientist Gyno,...

The end of the world: Italy. First the women died, then nearly everyone else died - and then, they began to come back...
You know the scene. The dead walk, the survivors are few, and to make things worse, they're all male. In an obscure corner of Italy, zombie hunters Igor (Alex Lucchesi) and Alen (Guglielmo Favilla) provide undead test subjects for the experiments of the rather twitchy research scientist Gyno (Claudio Marmugi). Gyno's main lab-rat, however, is Alen's girlfriend Alexis (Rosella Elmi), the only female not to have been entirely 'zombified' during the Great Epidemic - and perhaps the only chance of a cure and potential future for mankind.
Trouble lies ahead when the guys discover a healthy living girl who may provide part of the answer as to how the apocalypse came to be - and what exactly the mysterious Gyno is really up to back in the lab.
