Backwoods Horror

Just picked up this bit of news from Fangoria’s site:

Lionsgate Home Entertainment announced that the British werewolfilm WILD COUNTRY, lensed back in 2005, will at last see U.S. DVD release December 16, and gave us a first look at the cover art. Written and directed by Craig Strachan with makeup FX designed by HELLRAISER’s Bob Keen, the film is about a church youth group that goes hiking in the Scottish highlands, during which they find an abandoned baby in a crumbling castle. When they decide to take the infant with them back to civilization, they start getting killed off by a murderous lycanthrope. Special features, if any, have yet to be announced; retail price is $19.98. Look for a set-visit article on WILD COUNTRY in Fango #279, on sale in December. -Michael Gingold

Here’s that cover art:

Could be interesting.  I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed.  I’m currently working on a story/script that, in my opinion, would be the ULTIMATE werewolf flick.

The boys over at Shock Till You Drop came across some news that Steve Niles (of 30 Days of Night fame) and company have created a new comic entitled SAVAGE.  The premise of the comic is as follows:  BIGFOOT vs. A PACK OF WEREWOLVES.  And if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a healthy dose of murderers and madmen.  This sounds like a pretty damn awesome project and I can’t wait to read it.  The book streets October 29th with the first in a four part series.  Check out the first issue’s cover art below:
