New “Saw V” Photos and Halloween Blood Drive Poster
Nearly two weeks after the release of David Hackl directed “Saw V” teaser trailer, Lionsgate Films put out two official photos of the fifth horror film. And once again this year, Lionsgate will be teaming up with Yahoo and the American Red Cross to take your blood, quite literally. They have released a brand new poster, just as they have in years past, promoting the Halloween Blood Drive.
Since the first “Saw” blood drive in 2004, “Saw” fans have donated nearly 38,000 pints of blood (not counting this or last year). Collection totals have doubled year after year: During the 2004 inaugural drive, 4,200 pints were collected; in 2005, 10,000 pints were collected; and in 2006, 23,493 pints were collected, resulting in tens of thousands of lifesaving blood transfusions.
In the fifth installment of the Saw franchise, Hoffman is seemingly the last person alive to carry on the Jigsaw legacy. But when his secret is threatened, Hoffman must go on the hunt to eliminate all loose ends.
In “Saw V” stars Julie Benz, Tobin Bell and Meagan Good. Scripted by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, it is coming out on November 24.
Movie Stills From George A. Romero’s ‘Diary of the Dead’
The master of horror returns to the kind of filmmaking he pioneered and thegenre he invented. In his first independent zombie film in over twenty years, George A. Romero takes us back to ground zero in the history of the living dead.
Jason Creed and a small crew of college filmmakers are in the Pennsylvania woods making a no-budget horror film when they hear the terrifying news that the dead have started returning to life. Led by Jason’s girlfriend, Debra, the frightened young filmmakers set off in a friend’s old Winnebago to try to get back to the only safety and security they know: their homes. But there is no escape from the crisis or any real home for them anymore.
Everything they depend upon, all that they hold dear is fractured as the plague of the living dead begins to spread. Jason documents the true-life horrors in a tense, first-person style that heightens the reality of each encounter. Even as his friends die, even as they are attacked by ravenous walking corpses at every stop along the way, Jason keeps filming, an obsessive, unflinching eye in the midst of chaos.The government first denies, then promises to quell the crisis, but can’t.
Technology fails. Communication with the rest of the world becomes impossible. Jason and what remains of his crew end up on their own, a handful of lucky survivors, reliant on no one but themselves to stay alive. They take final refuge in a fortress of a mansion, but their sanctuary turns out to be a trapfrom which there is no escape. Throughout it all, the cameras keep rolling, recording every detail for future generations…if any survive.
