Also in today's Horror Highlights: news that Caroline Williams will star in Ten Minutes to Midnight and release details for Shed of the Dead, co-starring Kane Hodder.

Harpoon Trailer and Release Details: "Recently acquired out of the Cannes market for Us rights by Epic Pictures, Rob Grant’s horror comedy Harpoon is thrilled to release a new hysterically deranged sales trailer.

Repped by genre sales company Yellow Veil Pictures and coming to Dread, Epic’s celebrated genre label, the film features Munro Chambers (star of Epic Pictures’ cult hit Turbo Kid), Emily Tyra (Code Black), and Christopher Gray (The Mist), Harpoon is a black comedy about the rivalries, dark secrets, and sexual tension that amount when three best friends find themselves stranded on a...

Epic Pictures has acquiring U.S. rights to Rob Grant’s horror comedy “Harpoon” for its distribution genre label Dread. The deal was announced at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

The movie stars Munro Chambers, who also appeared in Epic Pictures’ “Turbo Kid” in 2015, along with Emily Tyra (“Code Black”), and Christopher Gray (“The Mist”). “Harpoon” is a black comedy about the rivalries, dark secrets, and sexual tension that arise when three best friends find themselves stranded on a yacht in the middle of the ocean.

The film was also written by Grant and produced by Michael Peterson (“Knuckleball”), Kurtis David Harder (“What Keeps You Alive”), and Julian Black Antelope (“True Fiction”) for 775 Media Corp. It was executive produced by Laurie Venning for Venntertainment.

The deal for the film was negotiated by Patrick Ewald, CEO of Epic Pictures/Dread along with Walter Boholst, business affairs consultant on behalf of Epic and Hugues Barbier,...

In my mind, Danny Trejo is nothing short of an icon. Playing a wide array of characters including the bartender in From Dusk Till Dawn to the bartender in Anchorman, Trejo has kicked more ass in his late 60s than most of us will in our lives – but this macho Mexicano might benefit from being a tad bit pickier about what horror movies he participates in. There should honestly be a Video On Demand category titled “Movies Featuring Danny Trejo,” as so many indie hopefuls plaster Trejo’s name for all to see – no matter how small his part is. Voodoo Possession is simply the latest movie to trick Trejo fans into an ill-fated viewing, scoring Danny for a few quick scenes and then shining his name in lights as if he’s a major player. It’s Ok to say “no” every once and a while Dt (think that’ll catch on?...

Voodoo has always been a creepy subject, and a popular choice for horror films, perhaps most notably with the classic (and first) White Zombie, starring Bela Lugosi as an evil voodoo master. Now, the misunderstood religion finds itself in the spotlight once again, with FX’s hit American Horror Story: Coven. But that’s not the only horror property delving into the Haitian religion. Allow me to introduce you to Walter Boholst’s horror film Voodoo Possession, out today, January 14th, on VOD platforms. Despite the over the top name, the film actually has complicated themes (and Danny Trejo), and isn’t a straight riff on the wacky voodoo doll tropes of bad horror movies. I recently got a chance to talk with actor and star Ryan Caltagirone (The Flip Side, The Big Year), who plays the tortured protagonist Aiden Chase in the film.

Synopsis

Imagine an insatiable demon that feeds on blood, thrives on pain, and reaches from beyond the grave to torment the living and the dead. For believers and skeptics alike, there is nothing in this world or the next to rival the relentless evil of a Voodoo Possession.

Burdened since childhood with a gnawing sense of guilt, cynical Aiden Chase journeys to a Haitian insane asylum in search of his missing brother. Upon arriving, he discovers all the inmates and the hospital administrator (Danny Trejo) are seemingly possessed by a bloodthirsty voodoo spirit.

Danny Trejo might just be one of the hardest working guys in genre film. With appearances in films on a monthly basis, we might just get to a point when we watch a film and we are surprised that Danny does Not make some sort of appearance in it. As his run in 2013 comes to an end, he is already taking part in over a dozen productions in 2014. To start the year off comes his appearance in Walter Boholst's haunted asylum flick Voodoo Possession.

Seriously speaking, we have no idea whether or not Danny Trejo actually stars in Voodoo Possession. History has taught us that just because he's on the box and top billed, it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be in a flick for more than five minutes.

Still, we'll find out soon enough when Image Entertainment doles out Walter Boholst's Voodoo Possession on January 14th. Check out the new cover and trailer below.
