Evil Feed BD & DVD giveaway!

Cult Projections and the lovely folk at Transmission Home Entertainment have got ten copies of the gloriously excessive black comedy action-horror Evil Feed (which I thoroughly enjoyed at last year's Monster Fest). Five Blu-ray Discs and five DVDs are up for grabs!

Drop me a line in my Letterbox and tell me what's the best cannibal flick you've seen and why? I'll pick the ten tastiest answers and send a copy of the movie your way. Don't forget to state BD or DVD preference and don't forget to include a mailing address.

Competition is only open to Australian residents, I'm afraid.

The Long Pig Restaurant is the ultimate underground restaurant sensation, where only the richest can taste the most refined meals and worldwide best…cannibalistic haute cuisine. Newly run Steven (Terry Chen) an overachieving son who delicately put his father to retirement by severing his head, the Long Pig has introduced novelty by capturing elite MMA fighters and then serving losers to their bloodthirsty customers. Perfect “Tendertainment!"

Jenna (Laci J Mailey), an aspiring stunt girl, is violently kidnapped with her friends by Triads and wakes up in the Long Pig holding cell waiting for her turn to fight in the Pit of Gore. In order to survive, she must fight her way out before being skinned alive and becoming the next main course. Throw in the Russian mob, competing cannibals, and a nymphomaniac masseuse; and you’ve got a crazy, over-the-top, sexy and bloody hell of a dinner movie!

Machete Kills 5 x double-pass giveaways!

machete_kills.jpg

The lovely folk at Icon Films in conjunction with Cult Projections have five double-passes to see the highly anticipated sequel, Machete Kills, starring the anti-hero-with-attitude Danny Trejo, and re-uniting him with maverick-with-the-most, director Robert Rodriguez, who gave us the brilliant modern grindhouse cult classic Planet Terror  and the amazing graphic novel adaptation Sin City!

 "Trained to kill, left for dead, Machete is back and this time he’s on the right side of the law. With gleefully gory comic book action, outrageously over-the-top characters and an absurd all-star cast including Jessica Alba, Sofia Vergara, Vanessa Hudgens, Amber Heard, Alexa Vega, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Mel Gibson, plus Lady Gaga and “introducing” Carlos Estevez (Charlie Sheen) as President of the United States. 

Bigger, bolder and more badass than ever, Machete Kills is one of the coolest, gore-splattered, star-studded action films ever!"

images.jpeg

Popcorn Taxi presents one of the most enigmatic and resonant movies of the year, Shane Carruth's Upstream Color, plus an exclusive chat with him live from Paris!

Shane Carruth was inspired by Robert Rodriguez’s El Mariachi to create his first low-budget ($7000) film, Primer (2004), which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, and a host of other awards. It’s now considered a classic of the time-travel genre. He recently consulted on Rian Johnson's scrpt for Looper.

Shane is a former software engineer with a degree in mathematics, who brings a unique approach to feature filmmaking – directing, writing, acting in, producing, composing and editing his work. According to Carruth not a molecule of Hollywood touched his film.

Cult Projections in conjunction with the lovely folk at Icon Films have five double-passes to see the blistering new movie from modern master filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn, Only God Forgives, which just won the major film prize at this year’s Sydney Film Festival.

“Only God Forgives is a stylish east-meets-west thriller, set in the back alleys of Bangkok’s criminal underworld. Julian  (Ryan Gosling)  runs a Thai boxing club in Bangkok, as a front for his drug business.  When Julian’s brother (Tom Burke)  is killed, after savagely murdering a young prostitute, his mother (Kristin Scott Thomas), the head of a vast criminal organisation, arrives to collect the body. Crazy with rage and thirsty for vengeance she demands the head of the murderers from Julian; but first, Julian must confront Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), a mysterious retired policeman - and figurehead of a divine justice. This sets in motion a range of events that leads to a bloody path of rage, betrayal, ultimate confrontation, and possibly even redemption.”

Drop me a private message via my site LETTERBOX telling me your favourite foreign thriller. I’ll pick the five best and send out the double-pass. Please remember to include a mailing address.
