ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest II is now into it’s second week of filming and unfortunately last week Michael Biehn had to leave the film so he could film another production in Tunisia, which is a disappointment but in Biehn’s place we now have Owain Yeoman (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, The Mentalist) who will play Detective King.

So what can we expect from Laid to Rest II? Well dig on the official synopsis below:

“ChromeSkull: Laid to Rest 2 picks up three months after we last left ChromeSkull (Principe) at the end of the original Laid to Rest. Tommy (Dekker), who’s struggling to come to terms with his encounter with the masked killer, has now gone missing courtesy of the maniacal Preston (Green), a mysterious player in the sequel with a sinister connection to ChromeSkull. Meanwhile, our killer has set his sights on a new girl, Jess (Michaels), and after the young girl disappears, Detective King (Yeoman) must race against the clock to find her and Tommy before it’s too late and try to put an end to ChromeSkull’s deadly legacy.”

Chromeskull: Laid to Rest II is written & directed by Robert hall and stars Bobbi Sue Luther, Owain Yeoman, Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, Lucas Till and Johnathan Schaec.

Hideo Nakata, as you are all aware gave us Ringu & Dark Water and this will be his first full English film. The first thing that came to mind after viewing the poster & trailer, was that it gave off a Dream Warriors vibe, maybe it’s just me.

For more information check out their official website and Facebook page.

Synopsis: “When strangers Jim, Eva, Emily and Mo meet William online in his new ‘Chelsea Teens!’ chatroom, they’re completely seduced by his fast-talking, charismatic character. But beneath the surface lies a much darker truth. William is a dangerous loner, a dysfunctional teenager channelling all his energies into cyberspace. He’s become an analyser, a calculating manipulator who finds it almost impossible to interact normally with others in the real world, instead turning his hand to manipulating people online.”

Jalmari Helander’s Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale has made it’s way around conventions and it recently had it’s premiere at the London Film Festival. Rare Exports looks and sounds awesome, but this ain’t the Santa Claus you think you know, this is the real Finish Santa Claus not the modern travesty everyone has become all too familiar with.

The real Santa Claus ain’t so jolly so take everything you think you know about Santa Claus and throw it away as you are about to be shook to the very core.

Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale is written & directed by Jalmari Helander and co-written by Juuso Helander and stars Onni Tommila, Jorma Tommila, Ilmari Jarvenpaa and Peeter Jakob.

Don’t believe me? Check out the new trailer for Rare Exports below:

Synopsis: “It’s the eve of Christmas in northern Finland, and an ‘archeological’ dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn’t the one you want coming to town. When the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa’s elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare – a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern day morality.

RARE EXPORTS: A CHRISTMAS TALE is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies, and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing.”

Synopsis: “WELCOME TO ZOMBIE WORLD!

An alien-spawned, mysterious mist blankets the northern half of Japan, transforming those who inhale it into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies hell-bent on devouring the surviving human population. Plunged into chaos, Japan is torn in two—the southern half of the country, where the populace remains untouched by the deadly gas, lives behind a heavily-fortified wall, while the northern half is a lawless, zombie-infected wasteland. Political forces are locked in a stalemate over whether the living dead should remain protected as family members or exterminated like a plague. The economy withers away, and all hope seems lost for the people and the nation of Japan.

Hope arrives in the form of Kika (Yumiko Hara), a beautiful high school girl armed with a chainsaw sword powered by an artificial heart. Recruited by the government, Kika leads a ragtag group of desperados on a secret mission into the zombie-infected wilds to exterminate zombie queen Rikka (Eihi Shiina from AUDITION and TOKYO GORE POLICE) and put an end to the plague of the living dead. But the road is fraught with a thriving zombie culture that, with its own designs on the living half of Japan, refuses to lay down and die.

Visionary filmmaker Yoshihiro Nishimura’s first solo directorial effort since TOKYO GORE POLICE is an epic, apocalyptic road movie featuring non-stop action and over-the-top splatter. The long-awaited realization of his dreams, HELLDRIVER is Nishimura’s bid to create the ultimate zombie film.

The showdown for the future of Japan is at hand and no one, living or dead, may survive to see it!”
