OUTBREAK PARK: "LETHAL Comics and HOLY CROW Press present Outbreak Park! The Walking Dead meets Jurassic Park! Writer Allan Amato and artist Andy Belanger bring you their startling vision of a post-post apocalyptic world. Humanity exists in vastly smaller numbers, within fortified enclaves mirroring the early city-states of ancient Greece. While a vaccine inoculating humans against a bite has been created, most of the planet is still subject to roving herds of undead. And equally frightening anarchist wellness Men’s groups..
In New Alhambra, Outbreak Park is built to further research into the undead phenomenon, using docile zombies as teaching tools for the children growing up in the new republic. Lest the near extinction of humanity ever be forgotten, and repeated.
But while humanity is slowly clawing it way back from the brink, underneath the veneer of civilization lies a fervent minority plotting against the yoke; religious zealots that insist god’s plan for the Rapture is being interrupted, disgraced politicians flung from the halls of power after their abysmal handling of the initial outbreak. Their plan is to release the park’s occupants back into the fledgeling city, destabilizing the new regime.
And only Jack and Beulah - two warriors grudgingly forced to work together - can keep their world from crashing back into the abyss. Especially when a bite gets through the vaccine, creating zombie hybrids resistant to everything but a heavy pipe to the back of the head!"

REDISCOVERED SHOCKER 'HOLLYWOOD 90028' COMING TO ALAMO DRAFTHOUSE CINEMAS NATIONWIDE IN JUNE: "Grindhouse Releasing proudly presents Christina Hornisher's 1973 shocker HOLLYWOOD 90028, screening at Alamo Drafthouse theaters nationwide starting June 14, 2024.
HOLLYWOOD 90028 stars Christopher Augustine as an alienated porno-movie cameraman turned serial strangler. The supporting cast includes Jeannette Dilger, Gayle Davis, and Dick Glass.
HOLLYWOOD 90028 has drawn comparisons to PEEPING TOM and TAXI DRIVER. The film boasts an early score by legendary composer Basil Poledouris (CONAN THE BARBARIAN, ROBOCOP). The film haunted grindhouse theaters and drive-ins of the ‘70s and ‘80s as THE HOLLYWOOD HILLSIDE STRANGLER and TWISTED THROATS, but has never appeared on TV or home video in the United States.
Rescued from obscurity by Grindhouse Releasing. HOLLYWOOD 90028 now comes to theaters newly restored from the original camera negatives. The 4K restoration fully reveals the poetic, artful quality of Hornisher’s film and its striking camerawork by Jean-Pierre Geuens (LEMORA), who captured a final shot that has stunned critics, filmmakers, and audiences around the world.
HOLLYWOOD 90028 screened as a classic at the prestigious Sitges festival, and recently showed as an official selection of the 2024 Night Visions Film Festival in Helsinki. The Future of Film is Female hosted a screening in New York, highlighting Christina Hornisher’s sole feature directing credit as the rediscovered work of an independent woman director.
Following sold-out screenings at Quentin Tarnatino’s New Beverly Cinema and The American Cinematheque in Los Angeles, HOLLYWOOD 90028 received raves from contemporary genre directors including Arkaha Stevenson (THE FIRST OMEN), Joe Lynch (SUITABLE FLESH), Anna Biller (THE LOVE WITCH), and Ti West (HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, X, MAXXXINE).
Hollywood 90028 screens this coming Saturday and Sunday May 18 & 19 at the Hollywood Theatre in Portland. Hollywood 90028 (hollywoodtheatre.org)

SILENT LAND: "A perfect couple rents a holiday home on a sunny Italian island in Aga Woszczyńska “frostily assured feature debut”. But the reality does not live up to their expectations when they find out that the pool in the house is broken. Ignorant of the fact that the island faces water shortage, they ask for a local to fix it. The constant presence of a stranger invades the couple’s idea of safety and starts a chain of events, which makes them act instinctively and irrationally, heading to the darkest place in their relationship. After viewing the film at TIFF, Prameet Chatterjee of High on Films said, “Vacations gone wrong” is one of my favorite sub-genres in cinema. Midsommar, The Ritual, The Hangover, Jurassic Park, The Ruins, The Descent, The Evil Dead, The Cabin in the Woods, Friday the 13th, I love them all. And Silent Land…has made its way into this list.”
