Dead Shadows Jason: I've only got one gripe with Dead Shadows, and that is it left me wanting more. There's a lot of great ideas thrown at us that don't, for whatever reason, get followed up on. That said, none of this affected my enjoyment of what is one bad-ass movie. Not. One. Fucking. Bit. Our man John Fallon steals the show. He's got leading man charisma and comes on like a young Bruce Willis. Its a shame he isn't the lead because this is his movie. And he puts some serious foot to some creepy mutant ass. But I can't knock Fabian Wolfrom either. His is an interesting story arc. I also dug the boy-meets-girl-at-the-end-of-the-world romance with Claire. Their scenes work really well without overshadowing what I'm here to see -- the action and freaky shit. And there's a lot of awesome, original freaky shit going on here. Creepy, amorous spider mutant chick? Fuck me! Never seen that before. Dead Shadows is an ambitious movie made on a...

We are Jason and Shawn and we're back in The Basement . . . again! That's right, Season Four kicks off tonight after a five-month hiatus spent lounging on the beach, sipping reebs and enjoying time with friends and family. We also managed to crank out five -- count 'em five -- summer specials and a podcast cliffhanger with Jon Cross over at The After Movie Diner. Now we're back to our bread and butter of weekly radio shows/podcasts designed to pleasure your ear holes and celebrate all things genre cinema. So begins The Month from Hell, a four-week excursion into the upcoming horror film 6 Degrees of Hell. Things culminate with our annual Halloween Spooktacular and an interview with star Corey Feldman! First up is our exclusive talk with the screenwriter of the Scariest Movie of 2012: Harrison Smith. Then it's time to review some movies. We jump into the latest found-footage offering, The Lost Coast Tapes, which has a limited theatrical run in North America...

We've been talking about the upcoming found-footage Bigfoot movie The Lost Coast Tapes for more than a year now and FINALLY we've got a trailer upon which to pass judgement. As far as found-footage movies go, this looks pretty decent. We've got scares, a hot chick, the obligatory asshole TV-show host, and yes, Bigfoot.  But . . . and this is a heavy but . . . the only movie to do anything interesting with the rapidly fading found-footage genre as of late is V/H/S. Whether or not The Lost Coast Tapes can justify another entry we won't know until the film's release later this year. The Lost Coast Tapes stars Drew Rausch, Ashley Wood, Rich McDonald, Frank Ashmore and Noah Weisberg. As for the plot crunch: after a "Bigfoot Hunter" claims to possess the body of a dead Sasquatch, a disgraced investigative journalist stakes his comeback -- and the lives of his documentary film crew -- on proving the find to be a hoax.

We haven't heard much about director Corey Grant's The Lost Coast Tapes in a year, but word broke on the Interwebs today that the Sasquatch thriller has landed North American distribution with XLRator Media.  The deal was announced at Cannes yesterday, and potential deals are pending with G2 Pictures/Koch Media for Europe and New Select in Japan.  This is good news for what promises to be a decent horror romp. Aside from Abominable and some really shitty SyFy movies, the big hairy dude hasn't been well represented on film. The legend is due, and here's hoping The Lost Coast Tapes delivers. As for the plot, when a "Bigfoot Hunter" claims to possess the body of a dead Sasquatch, a disgraced investigative journalist stakes his comeback -- and the lives of his documentary film crew -- on proving the find to be a hoax. Drew Rausch, Rich McDonald and Ashley Wood star. No trailer yet, but we'll post one when it surfaces.

Shawn and I are completely biased in our opinions. And in our opinion there's not enough movies about bigfoot. Well, leave it to filmmakers Corey Grant and Eduardo Sanchez to tell us to shut the fuck up, bitches! Grant is the director of The Lost Coast Tapes, a new found footage film about a cynical journalist who sets out to prove the discovery of a dead bigfoot is nothing more than a hoax. You can guess what happens next. Sanchez, co-director of The Blair Witch Project, helms Exists, which has a pissed off bigfoot stalking a group of twentysomethings when they take a vacation in the woods. Both sound pretty good to us. As long as there's a bigfoot stomping on people, we're happy. That was the case with the exceptional Abominable and Shawn and I both came away with smiles on our faces. We'll keep you posted on these projects as they develop.
