TURKISH HORROR FILM “NACIYE”

TURKISH HORROR FILM

“NACIYE”

FLIPS THE SCRIPT ON THE

HOME-INVASION SUB-GENRE

Now Available on VOD and Digital Download on AmazonVideo and Vimeo OnDemand, with Other Platforms Coming Soon!


Award-winning Turkish actress Derya Alabora (“Innocence,” “When We Leave,” “A Most Wanted Man”) stars as the title character “Naciye” (pronounced Na-djee-a) in Lütfü Emre Çiçek’s feature directorial debut “Naciye.”   The film is currently available for digital download and VOD through AmazonVideo and Vimeo OnDemand, and will be released on DVD April 11, 2017.  “Naciye” is distributed by Shami Media Group (SMG).  

“Naciye” premiered at ScreamFest LA in October 2015, where it received enthusiastic critical acclaim from both horror-film reviewers and audiences alike.  The film was released theatrically in Turkey in 2016, and is currently on Turkish cable television and streaming services.

“Naciye,” which also stars Esin Harvey and Gorkem Mertsoz, was filmed on location during the off-season on the beautiful Princess Islands off the Marmara Coast of Istanbul, Turkey.  Empty seaside mansions and gorgeous vistas belie the sinister and dangerous events about to unfold. The idyllic scene turns bloody and horrific as the body count quickly grows.

In “Naciye,” a pregnant couple travels for the weekend to check on the house they rented on a whim for the remainder of the pregnancy. On their first night at the secluded home they encounter the dangerous woman who claims to be its rightful owner.

Çiçek was born in Turkey and then moved to the U.S. after high school. Like many teenagers, he grew up watching horror films, and as a filmmaker, he has been influenced by movies like “Rosemary's Baby” and “The Hand That Rocks the Cradle,” as well as the works of Pedro Almodovar.  After he moved back to Turkey, Çiçek pursued his love of filmmaking; his favorite genre, horror films, was a natural choice for his first feature.

“With this movie I wanted to make something that would be familiar to horror fans in its homages to horror movie tropes but maintain its Turkish touches, like the island setting, the soap opera-esque hysteria of the leads, Naciye's style of clothing and the music.” said Çiçek.

Instead of making a Turkish or American horror film, Çiçek made an international horror film influenced by both his Turkish upbringing and love of American Horror films.  The result is a scary, artistic, and unique horror film.  The creative editing and sound-design in the film heighten suspense as tension builds. “Naciye” is accessible for the faint-hearted, while it also satisfies die-hard horror fans with its shocking originality.

The film was written/directed and edited by Çiçek, produced Sonbay Sanat ve Produksiyon Ltd., with stunning cinematography by Kamil Satir.

THE VHS VAULT VOL. 3 LAUNCHES ON SHOUT FACTORY TV!!

VOL. 3!

VHS Vault VOL.3

A BOY AND HIS DOGNicole Kidman stars in the raddest thing since Excitebike, BMX Bandits! When they find some state-of-the-art walkie-talkies, Kidman and her friends also find trouble in the form of bank robbers… And the result is pure awesomeness!

OBLIVIONIt’s a futuristic outer space sci-fi Western comedy movie, and if you can’t handle that you’d better take a chill pill. Oblivion pits cowboys against aliens, and surely there won’t be a more epic or popular alien movie that comes out in the next two or three years. This will definitely be remembered as the classic alien movie of the ’90s.

Q The Winged SerpentWith cutting edge stop-motion special effects, Q: The Winged Serpent looks better than any video game could ever dream of! A dragon-like Aztec god lives in the Chrysler Building and he doesn’t even have to pay rent–bogus! Can anyone in New York stop this gnarly monser??

NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIEThis secret agent action flick is all about the actors! The main cast includes two currently relevant musicians, Vanity and Gene Simmons. It might have been hard to recognize Simmons if he hadn’t just recently revealed his face without the KISS makeup. But the real breakout here is John Stamos, who will no doubt be known worldwide as a huge action star in the near future.

BMX BANDITSNicole Kidman stars in the raddest thing since Excitebike, BMX Bandits! When they find some state-of-the-art walkie-talkies, Kidman and her friends also find trouble in the form of bank robbers… And the result is pure awesomeness!

DREAMSCAPEHollywood up-and-comer Dennis Quaid stars in Dreamscape, a movie about a psycho psychic murdering people in their dreams! We’d be stoked to see a slasher movie franchise where people get murdered in their dreams. Maybe someday!

THE KENTUCKY FRIED MOVIEYoung director John Landis directs this boss sketch-comedy film spoofing many of your favorite film genres like kung fu, blaxploitation and more. Written by the new comedic team of Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker, Kentucky Fried Movie hints at great things to come from these comedic minds.

NAKED ANGELSRevenge + motorcycle gangs = excellent! Yuppies should hide their kids from this gnarly tale of outlaw bikers from Roger Corman. Hells Angels actually consulted on the film, so you know it’s not lame!

STREETWALKIN’Melissa Leo plays “Cookie,” a girl who goes straight from high school into the world of prostitution in Streetwalkin’. Cookie has to answer to her sadistic, murderous pimp Duke, and you just know some grody stuff is going to go down. 

A REAL JOBThe only thing better than working in a video store is love, and in A Real Job, John St. Clair trades his VHS tapes for a suit and tie in order to impress his new girlfriend. But what will he do when his new job threatens his old video store? Nothing could ever take down VHS, but you’ll suspend your disbelief while watching this great movie!

THE VHS VAULT PART 1

SLEEPAWAY CAMPTraumatized and shy Angela Baker gets sent to a totally bogus summer camp that doesn’t even have a Nintendo in Sleepaway Camp. Once she gets there, everything goes super smoothly–NOT. Leave your jean jacket at home so it doesn’t get covered in blood.

NIGHT OF THE DEMONSYour Swatch may say it’s time to party, but in Night of the Demons, a bunch of party animals decide to hold a seance in a funeral parlor instead of playing with pogs like normal kids. Their big mistake turns into a totally radical movie for the rest of us to enjoy.

DAY OF THE DEADFill up a fanny pack with weapons and slap bracelets, because you’re about to take on a world overrun by zombies in Day of the Dead. It follows the story of a small group of military officers and scientists living in an underground bunker without so much as a Poison cassette or a Molly Ringwald movie to entertain them!

CLASS OF 1984There’s no Brat Pack in Class of 1984, a movie about a school full of thoughtful, obedient students. As if! This movie is all about a lawless high school that would be totally tubular if it weren’t for the drug dealing thugs that have taken it over! It even features an appearance by a promising new upstart named Michael J. Fox.

EXTERMINATORS OF THE YEAR 3000Parents thought it was the end of the world when kids started wearing side ponytails, Jordache jeans and neon windbreakers, but that’s nothing compared to the gang of motorcycle psychos who run rampant on a post-apocalyptic Earth in Exterminators of the Year 3000! It’s a glorious crash of guns, nuclear fallout and cutting-edge synthesizers!

ADJUST YOUR TRACKINGFrankie says relax and watch Adjust Your Tracking, a movie about how awesome VHS is! We all knew that home entertainment couldn’t possibly get any better once we could watch our favorite John Cusack movies whenever we wanted (unless they make a 64-bit video game system, but that technology is way off). Check this film out and learn about your fellow VHS collectors.

Teenage Ghost Punk

Midnight Releasing has announced today's Digital HD, Cable VOD and MOD debut of Teenage Ghost Punk. Writer-director Mike Cramer blends the traditional haunted house narrative with the universal themes of young love and teen angst, adding a healthy serving of rock and roll. Teenage Ghost Punk is now available to rent or own on iTunes, Amazon Instant, Google Play, Vudu, XBox, FlixFling, DirecTV, Comcast, FiOS, AT&T and more.

Adria Dawn (TV's "Popular") costars with an exciting young cast of newcomers: Grace Madigan, Jack Cramer, Noah Kitsos in a family-friendly ghost tale.  Teenage Ghost Punk has screened at the Chicago International Movies and Music Festival, the Spooky International Horror Film Festival and the Geneva Film Festival, where Mike Cramer took home the award for Emerging Narrative Feature Filmmaker. 

Life changes for a cheerleader named Amanda when her family moves to an old Victorian house outside Chicago. While her newly-divorced mom struggles with a new job and her eccentric little brother seems to fit in effortlessly, Amanda tries to find her way in her daunting new high school. Meanwhile, weird things happen in the new house: Knocking sounds, strange guitar riffs in the rain, and unexplained messes. A quirky medium and a bumbling paranormal investigation team search for answers but are scared away an unseen force. 

Amanda discovers that her house is haunted by Brian, the teenage punk rock ghost who has been jamming on her roof during rainstorms for thirty years. He enjoys spirited poker nights with a local quintet of teen ghosts from different eras. Amanda and Brian forge an unlikely friendship and feelings deepen, but tension arises when Amanda asks him to the homecoming dance. When uninvited guests arrive at Amanda's Halloween party, paranormal investigators clash with Chicago's most badass spirit, and the neighborhood's past collides with its present. How will Amanda solve her future?

The Anti-Christ is Coming… to Kickstarter

The chronicles of the Anti-Christ in a graphic novel.

What if the Anti-Christ wanted no part in the end of the world? This is the question that Samantha, a woman who was genetically engineered by terrorists to bring about the End of Days wants answered. She is a pariah, trying to kill herself, but the devil won’t let her die.

Anti-Christ is a graphic novel written by James Mascia and illustrated by Osiris Junior, with 2 covers by Daniel Leister (Hack/Slash) and Mike Crome (Zenescope). Originally appearing as a successful webcomic on Webtoon.com, Dren Productions is now running a Kickstarter to put it into print. Our goal is to print 1,000 copies to fulfill backer rewards and have stock left over to bring to conventions for the next year.

It is our goal at Dren Productions to provide quality stories with great artwork to our fans, and Anti-Christ has gotten great reviews from both fans and critics. @kleffnotes from The Nerdy Girl Express said, "...what I loved was that the audience is learning alongside Samantha. We don’t know entirely what led to her creation or how she was able to survive..."

We are offering backers of this project, not only copies of the book, but also the chance to have the author, James Mascia, write a comic script for you. The length of the script will be determined by the level of the pledge. There are other great rewards planned as well, including extra incentive rewards for early backers.

The Kickstarter went live on April 3rd, 2017. We ask that people check out our page, and if they cannot pledge, to share our campaign on their social media with the #AntiChrist as a hashtag. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/drenproductions/1490631671?token=78b1dc1c

James Mascia is the writer of several comics including The Poe Murders and High School Heroes, as well as many stories including The Curse of Frankenstein and City of Darkness.

Dren Productions is a publishing company committed to providing quality, sci-fi, fantasy and horror to our fans, with a little humor on the side. We want all our fans to “live the dream.”

UMe SET TO REISSUE THE SUPREMES A’ GO-GO

UMe SET TO REISSUE THE SUPREMES A’ GO-GO IN DELUXE, EXPANDED, TWO-CD EDITION WITH OUTTAKES, RARE MONO & VOCAL MIXES, DUET, APRIL 28

The group’s first-ever #1 album (and first by an all-female group) featured the chart-topping “You Can’t Hurry Love” and covers of fellow Motown artists’ hits, new version includes covers of Dylan, Rolling Stones


By the time Motown released The Supremes A’ Go-Go, the group’s ninth studio album, on August 25, 1966, the group had already scaled the charts with hits like “Where Did Our Love Go?,” “Baby Love,” “Come See About Me,” “Stop! In the Name of Love,” “Back in My Arms Again” and “I Hear a Symphony.”

The Supremes A’ Go-Go solidified Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard’s hold on the American and global marketplace, the first of their albums to go to #1 on the Billboard 200, marking the first LP by an all-female group to do so, spawning two Top 10 hits in the #1 “You Can’t Hurry Love” and the #9 “Love Is Like an Itching in My Heart.”  The album also featured the trio tackling an array of hit cover material, mostly from their Motown stablemates the Four Tops, the Temptations, Martha & the Vandellas, Barrett Strong and the Isley Brothers, but also contemporary hitmakers Nancy Sinatra (Lee Hazlewood’s “These Boots are Made for Walkin’”) and the McCoys (Bert Berns and Wes Farrell’s Brill Building chestnut “Hang on Sloopy”).

UMe will now reissue the classic album in a deluxe, expanded two-CD edition, featuring the original 12 tracks, featuring both the stereo album, along with rare mono album mixes, alternative vocal versions and mixes, as well as a duet of “Shake Me Wake Me (When It’s Over)” with the Four Tops. There are also rarely heard album outtakes, such as covers of fellow ‘60s stalwarts Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind” and the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satsifaction.”

The Supremes A’ Go-Go remained on the Billboard chart for 60 weeks, going on to sell 3.5 million around the world, including one million in the U.S., knocking off The Beatles’ Revolver from the top spot for the honors. It also went to #15 in the U.K. album charts, with “You Can’t Hurry Love” peaking at #3 on the U.K. singles chart.

The production represented the peak of the fabled Motown team, headed by producers Brian Holland and Lamont Dozier, the Funk Brothers and even the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on hand.

This expanded edition will also contain two 24-page booklets. The first chronicles the album’s production and success, as well as a timeline, and both rare and never-before-seen photos. The second booklet is a recreation of the Supremes 1966 tour book.

Said All Music’s Bruce Eder about the album, referring to its winning formula of having The Supremes cover Motown’s greatest hits: “In fact, back in the days when vinyl was the only game in town, used copies of this record sold faster and better than any of their other common '60s LPs, and for good reason.”

APOCALYPSE CHILD Official Trailer

SYNOPSIS

What if all your life you were told that you were the son of the Francis Ford Coppola?  Myth and real-life intertwine in APOCALYPSE CHILD, a slice-of-life relationship drama from the Philippines, director Mario Cornejo and writer/producer Monster Jiminez.  Straight from an award-winning festival run, the film that the New York Asian Film Festival says is "reminiscent of the golden age of 1990s American Indie Cinema" rolls into the home entertainment marketplace on DVD ($14.99) and Digital HD on all leading platforms, including iTunes and Amazon o April 18, only from Candy Factory Films.

After Coppola shot Apocalypse Now on the sun-drenched Philippines beaches of Baler, his crew unintentionally transformed the small town into a future surfing destination after a surfboard from the movie set was left behind.  Fast forward to today, where Ford (Sid Lucero), a surfing instructor, is content to while away the hours on the azure blue waves and in the arms of his pretty runaway girlfriend (Annicka Dolonius).  But there is a restlesslessness about him that is about to unravel.  Named after Francis Ford Coppola, he may or may not be the illegitimate son of the Hollywood director.  Yet, as his mother petitions the director to acknowledge Ford as his son, Ford seems unfazed, content with his escapist beach bum lifestyle.  At least until the return of his childhood best friend, now a local congressman, threatens his dreamlike existence with harsh realities of the past.

"Apocalypse Child is one of those rare beauties where narrative plays second fiddle to a combination of perfect locations and character: stunning vistas of Baler, mystical half-tales of the past, emotional revelations and jaw-droppingly realistic character portrayals" says One Room With a View.com.  And the Toronto Reel Asian Film Festival, where the film was awarded the "Best Picture," said, "Director Mario Cornejo's laid- back, simplistic approach to storytelling takes the viewer on a compelling journey of escape into the surf, sun, and sprawling beaches -- and one can't help but want to dive in."

CRATE-DIGGERS OF THE WORLD UNITE

CRATE-DIGGERS OF THE WORLD UNITE: WARNER MUSIC GROUP OPENS VAULTS TO LAUNCH FAN-SELECTED, LIMITED-RUN VINYL LABEL, RUN OUT GROOVE

Exclusive Pressings from MC5, Echo & The Bunnymen, Golden Smog, Secret Machines and Solomon Burke Kick Off Series

Warner Music Group has announced the launch of RUN OUT GROOVE, a new fan-driven, vinyl-only record label. Each month, RUN OUT GROOVE allows fans to vote on the label’s next high-quality vinyl pressing, chosen from three selections of either unreleased material, out-of-print material, or brand new collections compiled from the Warner Music vault. Initial offerings from RUN OUT GROOVE come from an eclectic group of artists including Echo & The Bunnymen, Golden Smog, MC5, Secret Machines, and Solomon Burke.

“Warner Music Group is home to many legendary labels — Atlantic, Warner Bros., Reprise, Elektra, Sire, Rykodisc and more — which have produced a wealth of expertly curated music over the years,” said Billy Fields, Vice President, Sales, Account Management for WEA, the artist & label services arm of Warner Music Group. “What makes Run Out Groove unique is that the crate-digging community is steering the ship. We are crowd-sourcing niche, but in-demand, selections from our vast vault to be pressed on high-quality vinyl, and it’s going to be a lot of fun to see where the community decides to take us.”

“I am chuffed that our fans came out in droves and voted for us and that 'Run Out Groove' are releasing our live-in-Sweden recording,” said Will Sergeant of Echo & The Bunnymen. “It’s a historical document of another time, another place, another me and a very interesting stop off traveling the road map of the bands' life.”

He added: “I love the fact that vinyl is having an amazing resurgence and many young music fans are embracing the medium. I am an avid vinyl enthusiast and my vinyl collection is a route map to my life. Having a pocket full of mp3’s can't do that when you lay them out on your bedroom floor like tarot cards. The cover art of an LP is almost as important to me as the music. With LPs you feel like you have actually got something worth having, to hold and read while you listen. I love the organic visceral nature of the record, a piece of plastic that can bring forth such wondrous sound when a diamond is driven along the spiral road. It’s all pretty weird when you think about it, some sort of wonderful sonic voodoo.”

Each RUN OUT GROOVE release will be limited edition and individually numbered, often including previously unreleased tracks or material that has never before been available on vinyl. Each title will be available to pre-order for a strict 30-Day window via the RUN OUT GROOVE website. After the pre-order closes, the only way to purchase a copy will be via participating music retailers across the U.S., while supplies last.

The second RUN OUT GROOVE pre-order campaign — and the first to be fan-chosen — is a new live collection from Echo & The Bunnymen, It’s All Live Now.

The Hunt Is On for Fright-Rags' PREDATOR Collection

Limited edition mask box sets, shirts, & socks on sale now: bit.ly/PredatorFR

In 1987, John McTiernan's Predator was released, and Arnold Schwarzenegger taught us that "If it bleeds, we can kill it!" Although there have been numerous sequels, comics, novels, games, and a reboot movie on the way, nothing compares to the original. Fright-Rags has released the Predator Collection in honor of its 30th anniversary.

The Predator Collection marks the return of Fright-Rags' popular mask and shirt box sets. There are two versions available, each of which features an exclusive tee designed by Justin Osbourn and a retro-style ventilated mask packaged in a collectible window box. The standard version, limited to 650, is based on the Predator's appearance in the movie. The Ugly Motherf***er variant, limited to 300, is inspired by 1980s horror trading cards.

While Osbourn's shirts are exclusive to the box sets, the artwork can be purchased separately on zip-up hoodies, and the Ugly Motherfucker design is available on baseball tees. The Predator Collection also includes four shirts from artists Jason Edmiston, Paul Shipper, Chris Lovell, and Coki Greenway, plus two different styles of custom-knit socks.

The hunt is on now at Fright-Rags.com. The Predator Collection shirts are in stock, while socks will ship in approximately 10 days and mask box sets are due out in mid-June. Quantities are limited.

In addition to The Thing collection available earlier this month and the Predator collection on sale now, Fright-Rags has Chucky and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre apparel dropping next week.

UME RELEASES FIRST GREATEST HITS COLLECTION OF 50 CENT

The Double Vinyl LP/CD features Mobb Deep, Akon, Ne-Yo,
The Madd Rapper, Nate Dogg

On March 31, 2017, almost fifteen years after his explosive debut, UMe released Best Of 50 Cent. This is 50 Cent’s first “Best Of” compilation, which will be issued on CD and at all digital retail outlets. The double LP will be released on April 7. It includes classic cuts from the albums Get Rich or Die Tryin’, The Massacre, Curtis, Before I Self Destruct, Music From And Inspired By Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ The Motion Picture and the In Too Deep Motion Picture Soundtrack. Best Of 50 Cent also features the non-album tracks “Get Up” and “I Get It In,” plus the bonus cut “How to Rob.” Among his many legendary collaborators included are Mobb Deep, Akon, Ne-Yo, The Madd Rapper, Nate Dogg, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and Olivia, the first woman signed to 50 Cent’s G-Unit label.

Backed and produced by Dr. Dre, Eminem, and Mike Elizondo, Get Rich or Die Tryin’ was released in 2003. Its impact was immediate and undeniable, thanks to tracks like “21 Questions” (featuring Nate Dogg), “P.I.M.P.,” and the ubiquitous banger, “In Da Club.” Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and its combination of gangster grit and dark wit went on to sell over 12 million copies and topped the charts for nine weeks. The album has since been ranked as one of Rolling Stone magazine's top 50 albums of the (00s) decade.

50 Cent’s 2005 sophomore album, The Massacre, sold almost five million units, debuted at No. 1 in the U.S., and earned a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Rap Album. Once again co-produced by the winning trio Dr. Dre, Eminem and Mike Elizondo, as well as Hi-Tek and Scott Storch, The Massacre yielded the hits “Disco Inferno,” “Candy Shop” (featuring Olivia), “Just a Lil Bit” and “Outta Control” (featuring Mobb Deep), with “Candy Shop” hitting No. 1 and “Outta Control” peaking at No. 6 in the U.S. That same year, 50 Cent made his acting debut in the semi-autobiographical movie Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Its soundtrack produced the hits “Hustler’s Ambition,” “Best Friend” (with Olivia)” and “Window Shopper,” all featured on this compilation.

In 2007, 50 Cent's third album Curtis debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and featured the singles "Ayo Technology" (featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland), "Straight to the Bank," "I Get Money" and "I'll Still Kill" (featuring Akon), all included here. The hits "Baby by Me" (featuring Ne-Yo), from 2009's Before I Self Destruct, "Get Up" and "I Get It In" (both non-album singles) are also included on Best Of 50 Cent.

Closing with Fifty’s debut single “How to Rob” (featuring The Madd Rapper) from the In Too Deep Motion Picture Soundtrack, Best Of 50 Cent is a career-spanning chronicle of one of music’s most compelling and influential rap artists, 50 Cent.
