Kill Katie Malone is a horror film from first time director Carlos Ramos Jr., which deals with a trapped soul and a cursed box. This title will release in the United States on DVD and Blu-Ray December 13th and horror fans might want to take notice. Three friends, Jim (Stephen Colletti), Dixen ( Jonathan 'Lil J' McDaniel) and Ginger (Masiela Lusha), try to solve the mystery of the box, while friends and acquaintances lose their tongues, their body parts or their lives. Proving that curses never die and that they are passed down through families, Kill Katie Malone is an enjoyable time spent in the darkness with a blood-thirsty ghost!

Jim buys a supposed haunted box off of Ubid.com for a lark. The box promises to grant wishes,...

Kill Katie Malone was picked up by American World Pictures in October of 2010 for markets. Recently, Phase 4 Films acquired video-on-demand rights for this title for a June 1st release. Now Phase 4 Films is also set to release this horror title on DVD and Blu-Ray December 13th. Dean Cain stars as a college professor, but "he is only in the film briefly" (Horror Talk). Cain's character Robert tries to save his pupils from a malevolent spirit, who has been released by a cursed box. Remember folks, don't buy haunted items on the internet! Special features for the release are sparse with only a trailer. However, this release will be for DVD and Blu-ray formats in both Canadian and Us markets.

There have been a few early reviews of this title. One review at Geek Tyrant by critic Brian S. talks of the "enjoyable twists." Steve Pattee notices "creepy elements,...

Kill Katie Malone was a movie that I’d never heard of until recently and I’m glad I got the opportunity to check it out! The first thing you notice is the familiar face of Dean Cain who appears in the horror/thriller.

The story follows a group of friends who purchase a box that supposedly has a ghost trapped inside it. The box is opened and people start to die and die horribly! As people keep getting knocked off by the angry little girl ghost the remaining survivors begin investigating where the box came from and what actually happened to the girl.

The friends find out what happened to the little girl and that over the decades whoever owned the box died horrible deaths so they decide to “un-own” her but it doesn’t work out so good. Needless to say, the girl was tortured and died a horrible death.

What could be better than purchasing a cursed box on your summer break from college, right? That is not a good idea, unless you want to be haunted by ancient Irish ghosts. Phase 4 Films has recently picked up director Carlos Ramos Jr.'s Kill Katie Malone for a video-on-demand release and it was just back in late April that this horror film's trailer debuted (Kill Katie Malone Trailer). The killing begins June 1st and horror fans can expect students to be running for their lives, rather than studying for finals, in just a few weeks! Few will graduate and the details on the Kill Katie Malone release are below, along with an updated poster, seen left.

Tagline: "Never buy a demon on the internet."

After 2002's Die Another Day was reviled by critics, many fans and by veteran Bond star Roger Moore - despite being the highest-grossing 007 adventure at that time - producers admitted they wanted to return to the traditional formula.

They hit reset and the result was 2006's Casino Royale with Daniel Craig as a more craggy, edgy 007.

It was swiftly followed by direct sequel Quantum of Solace. The next instalment - so far known only as Bond 23 - is on hold while studio MGM is up for sale so it's the perfect time to look back on Bond and find the winning formula for the next film.

In this guest article, actor/writer/producer and self-confessed movie and comic book geek Danny Arroyo - whose upcoming films include Kill Katie Malone, Groupie, and Repo Chick, which was featured on here last November - takes a look at which Bond movies deserve a licence to thrill.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Carlos Ramos Jr. has signed on to direct the comedy, "Unleaded." "Unleaded" is about a man seeking a woman to reproduce, after finding out his sperm count is declining.

Ramos's directorial debut "Kill Katie Malone" starring Dean CAin and Nick Hogan is scheduled for a release sometime in 2010. "Unleaded" will start filming in April.

Carlos Ramos Jr. has signed on to direct Tainted Films' comedy "Unleaded," about a man who's looking for a woman to reproduce since he's facing a declining sperm count. Celia Hammel is producing with Carlton Hickman as exec producer.

Ramos recently completed his directorial debut, "Kill Katie Malone," starring Dean Cain, Masiela Lusha and Nick Hogan, which is slated for a 2010 release.

"Unleaded" will begin filming in April.

Among the stars of the upcoming new movie Repo Chick - Alex Cox's so-called "official non-sequel" to his 1984 sci-fi cult classic Repo Man - is Us actor/writer/producer Danny Arroyo. 

The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September, is co-produced by David Lynch's production company (Eraserhead, Dune, The Elephant Man, Twin Peaks) and produced by Daren Hicks and Simon Tams (producers of Batman: Dead End, Searchers 2.0, Hunter Prey). 

The official synopsis of the project is: "Against the background of the credit crunch and the subprime mortgage crisis in the Us, where repossessions of homes, cars and other forms of property is at a new high, the repo business has expanded to everything from boats, houses, aeroplanes, small nations...children."
