Elliot was once a man with a caring family, but after his daughter’s death, grief leaves him barely recognizable from who he was. One day, a cryptic message lures him toward the possibility of seeing Dotty again. Despite his doubt, his desperate longing drives Elliot to a remote island where uncanny events unfold.

Shout! Factory has struck a deal with Kennedy/Brooks to distribute the giallo-inspired horror comedy “The Editor” in the U.S., TheWrap has learned. Directed and produced by Adam Brooks and Matthew Kennedy, the stylish genre movie premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival and is scheduled to play at the San Francisco International Film Festival on May 1. Brooks and “Boardwalk Empire’s” Paz de la Huerta star alongside Samantha Hill (“Bad Meat”), Tristan Risk (“Dark Continents”) and “The ABCs of Death 2” actors Laurence R. Harvey and Conor Sweeney, as well as genre stalwart Udo Kier (“Blade”) and Kennedy.

Rey Ciso (Adam Brooks) was once the most celebrated film editor in the world, but ever since a lapse in judgement while working on the longest film ever made left him four fingers short he’s been relegated to cutting trashy genre movies for no-talent hacks. When cast members on his latest project start turning up dead the cop investigating the crimes, Det. Peter Porfiry (Matthew Kennedy), immediately sets his sights on Rey forcing the editor into a race against time to identify the real culprit before it’s too late. His efforts are complicated by several factors including the possibility that he may be the murderer after all. The list of suspects is as long as Dario Argento’s Giallo is terrible and includes Rey’s wife Josephine (Paz de la Huerta), an actor named Cal (Conor Sweeney) who’s benefiting from the newly available roles, Rey’s eager new assistant (Samantha Hill) and the head...

The new horror film "Bad Meat" from Revolver Entertainment has been reportedly fraught with production setbacks, including a shift from original director Rob Schmidt ("Wrong Turn") to total newcomer LuLu Jarmen to finish production. Yeah.

Horror movie websites have all posted the trailer, the synopsis, and some images. Some have even referenced the production problems. But no one has even bothered to ask, "Who is LuLu Jarmen?"

Because I'm obsessed with women horror directors (yes, literally obsessed) this is the first question on my mind. "Bad Meat" is her only IMDb credit; she isn't anywhere else on the Internet; no website, no Facebook page, no Twitter account, no bio on IMDb... nothing. So. It's probably just a pseudonym for director Rob Schmidt, because he's so embarrassed by how it turned out that he doesn't want to be blamed for it. You see, he had originally announced the film in 2007/2008 as...

Finally, a look at Bad Meat , the bloody horror film with a tumultuous history that was rescued and completed just in time to be presented at the American Film Market this week. A trailer is here and it's filled with plenty of gore, oddball humor and S&M maniacs running around killing off the cast. Elisabeth Harnois, Dave Franco, Mark Pelegrino, Tahj Mowry, Jessica Parker Kennedy, Joe Dinicol and Samantha Hill star. Lulu Jarmen is the credited director ( Wrong Turn 's Rob Schmidt began the project long ago). Ordered to a delinquent camp by their exasperated parents, a group of wayward teens fall foul of a deadly virus that infects the guards and turns them into flesh-eating monsters! Gristle and gore are on the menu-as are the kids in this Brat Camp slaughterhouse...

The indie pic' Bad Meat will be having its World Premiere at the American Film Market. This is a film developed by Rob Schmidt (Wrong Turn), but the director named on the title is Lulu Jarmen; this is likely a pseudoname. This title has recently completed while being developed way back in 2008. There have been some financial hurdles to scramble over and now, the first trailer is available for Bad Meat, along with a film poster.

In this clip, you will laugh, you will gag, and you will likely cry for your mommy, as several delinquent children are chased throughout a "Boot Camp." They are being chased by the camp counsellours who have eaten some rotten meat. This, strangely, turns them into killers. Unfortunately, these kids will have a long jog back to civilization as the camp is located in "the middle of nowhere." Enjoy the disturbing and surreal trailer below.
