R.I.P Sir Christopher Lee (1922 - 2015)


Today is a sad day in Hollywood as actor and horror icon Sir Christopher Lee passed away at the age of 93 in Chelsea, London, England. While horror fans might known him from films such as "Horror Express", "The Wicker Tree" and "Dracula: Prince of Darkness", most people know him as Saruman from "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy and as Count Dooku in "Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones" and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith". Christopher Lee was also a regular in Tim Button films as he appeared in Tim Burton's "Sleep Hollow", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Dark Shadows" and provided the voice in Button's "The Corpse's Bride" and Alice in Wonderland.

Most recently, Lee finished work on the "Angels in Notting Hill" which are all in post-production.

Sir Christopher Lee was 93 at the time of his death.

Press Release:

For a group of teenage friends, a devastating fate lurks on the other side of a computer screen in Unfriended, the first in a new generation of found-footage thrillers coming to Digital HD July 28, 2015 and Blu-Ray™, DVD and On Demand August 11, 2015, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Unfriended is a startlingly contemporary nail-biter from two modern masters of mayhem, executive producer Jason Blum (The Purge, Ouija, Sinister) and producer Timur Bekmambetov (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Wanted).

What starts as a seemingly innocent online prank produces a sequence of events that spirals out of control. During a routine group video chat, high-school friends are terrorized by an unseen figure. The anonymous intruder implicates each of them in the death of an acquaintance, revealing damning secrets and transforming trusted allies into wary adversaries. Forced into a sordid "game," the teens try to figure out who is behind the mysterious threat, but all signs point to a power from beyond the grave. Playing out in real time almost entirely on a computer screen, Unfriended features a rising young cast that includes Shelley Hennig (Ouija, "Teen Wolf"), Moses Storm ("The 4 to 9ers: The Day Crew," "About a Boy") and Renee Olstead ("The Secret Life of the American Teenager," "Still Standing").

Official Trailer and Stills for Joe Hollow's Erotic Horror Film "A Blood Story"


Brain Damage Films and Joe Hollow Production recently released stills and the official trailer for their latest release "A Blood Story". The film stars Camden Toy, Mindy Robinson, Mark Hanson, Debra Lamb and the late Robert Z'Dar.

Press Release:

Director Joe Hollow who brought you “The Family” and “Disciples” will be unleashing his latest twisted opus: “A Blood Story” the boundary pushing mix of erotica and horror that is set for worldwide release this June 9th on DVD everywhere.

“A Blood Story centers on the discovery of the legendary Fountain of Youth and the awaking of a centuries old demon that unleashes upon the guests of a nearby villa, subjecting them to unspeakable acts of depravity, perversion and murder.”

Hollow says, “This is the lowest budget film I have done to date but it’s special for a great many reasons. Robert’s passing was very difficult for us but the time we shared with him will forever live in our hearts. We were one big family on that set. And as a family I really feel we were able to tell an interesting story without all the extra characters, complex storyline and content that my earlier films are known for. With A Blood Story we had a very limited budget and a 10 day shooting schedule. So, THUMBS UP to an incredibly ambitious and inspiring cast and to Debra Lamb who muscled it through a fast moving difficult schedule as both an actor and producer. We wanted to do something different and we pulled it off . We are all very proud of this film”.

Produced by Hollow Films in conjunction with Lamblight Productions and distributed by Maxim Media Entertainment/Brain Damage Films. A Blood Story stars Mindy Robinson, Camden Toy, Mark Hanson, Debra Lamb, Melanie Robel, Linnea Quigley and the legendary Robert D’Zar in one of his final roles.
