JeruZalem: "If you don't believe in God... you came to the wrong city." A taxi driver's ominous warning is just the beginning of a literally hellish night for a group of Americans visiting Jerusalem. Ahead of its July 22nd premiere at Montreal's Fantasia International Film Festival, a new trailer for Epic Picture Group's found footage film, JeruZalem, teases the nightmarish creatures and devilish demons that walk the ancient city's streets after a gateway to Hell opens.
"Two American girls on vacation follow a mysterious and handsome anthropology student on a trip to Jerusalem. The party is cut short when the trio are caught in the middle of a biblical apocalypse. Trapped between the ancient walls of the holy city, the three travelers must survive long enough to find a way out as the fury of hell is unleashed upon them."
Directed by brothers Doron and Yoav Paz, JeruZalem stars Yael Grobglas, Yon Tumarkin, Tom Graziani, and Danielle Jadelyn.

Save the Monroeville Mall: Consumer-craving zombies once shuffled across its planks in George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead, and now the bridge within the Monroeville Mall is on the brink of being demolished... unless a new petition can help preserve it for future generations:
"In 1978, George Romero's Dawn of the Dead forever changed the face of horror. DOTD is not only an entertaining horror flick, it's a deep social commentary co-mingled with drama and action that still holds relevant even today.
Monroeville Mall, where a large portion of the film takes place, has since changed dramatically. One of the few staples that still remains from Dawn of the Dead, the bridge, is due to be demolished and scrapped in just a matter of days. It's not been disclosed to us what day that will be, so the need to act fast is of the utmost importance.
As the situation currently stands, the removal is already set in motion. If the bridge is demolished, it will then become property of the demolition company. It may be re-purposed or simply tossed out.
If we can garner enough signatures, we would like to house the bridge in a facility where fans can continue to visit it for years to come. Kevin Kriess has agreed to make it a permanent part of The Living Dead Museum in Evans City, PA. Our goal is for the demolition company to take it apart with care and turn it over to the Living Dead Museum to be reassembled.
If we want to save the bridge from being destroyed forever, please
SIGN AND SHARE! Thank you!"
