"This is what I want to do. I want to fly." 101 Films & Trinity Creative have revealed an official trailer for The Shamrock Spitfire - a WWII thriller about the true story of a famed fighter pilot. It's co-directed by brothers Dominic & Ian Higgins, and will be heading direct-to-vod / DVD soon. The Shamrock Spitfire is based on the inspiring true story of Irish World War II hero Brendan "Paddy "Finucane, who at the age of 21 became the youngest ever Wing Commander in the Raf, and one of its most celebrated fighter pilots. The film chronicles the true story of Finucane, who was killed when a bullet from ground fire pierced the radiator of his Spitfire flying a mission over France. His leadership of the 452 Australian Squadron became the stuff of legend. Starring Shane O'Regan, Chris Kaye, Emily Outred, Eoin Lynch, Bethany Billly, Carl Wharton, Sophia Eleni, and Rafe Bird. This looks bloody awful!

Stars: Hannaj Bang Bendz, Dean Marshall, Sean Cronin, Mark Topping, Ayvianna Snow, Carl Wharton, Jasmine Sumner | Written and Directed by Steve Lawson
Amidst a busy filmography, Wrath of Dracula marks the third 2023 released feature for writer/director Steve Lawson – including the interesting Ripper’s Revenge. Inspired by Bram Stoker’s iconic 1897 novel, the story begins with Mina Harker (Hannaj Bang Bendz) receiving a letter from her husband, Jonathan Harker (Dean Marshall), about how he’s a prisoner at Castle Dracula. She travels to Transylvania intending to help her beloved, where she discovers a decimated village fearful of the mysterious Count Dracula (Sean Cronin), and the man determined to hunt the Count, Van Helsing (Mark Topping).
Considering how often vampires are brought to the screen, particularly when adapting Stoker’s novel, it becomes difficult to find a way to make these new takes stand apart within a crowded field. Despite putting the...

One year after the notorious “Jack the Ripper” murders, the killings have stopped and his identity remains a mystery. Having made his career on those stories, newspaper reporter Sebastian Stubb (Chris Bell) is struggling financially as he is given less-demanding stories which are not front-page material. As he yearns for days past, Sebastian discovers a letter in his bag that claims to be from the Ripper, highlighting that the killings have started again.
Writer/director Steve Lawson crafts a compelling tale regarding the real-life murderer, centring around a reporter’s desire to succeed in his profession. Despite using underhanded methods to persevere, his love for reporting shines through thanks to the writing and Bell’s performance. A key example is when he gives advice about viewing a story from different angles, and how a good...

Leicester-based filmmaker Steve Lawson seems to have struck up quite the partnership with UK distributor High Fliers Films, having had the last half a dozen or so films he’s made released on DVD here in Blighty – distribution that has seen his films hit supermarket shelves across the country. That’s probably because Lawson has recently focused on making genre films based on familiar tropes – Dracula, Jack the Ripper, Jekyll and Hyde; hell Lawson has even tackled the likes of the Musketeers and Dick Turpin!

Zombie Massacre is Uwe Boll's latest film. Boll is a producer on this picture and he also has a screen credit as the American President. Picturing Boll as the President is a true nightmare. Even more nightmarish is this first official trailer for the film. In the clip, a super soldier, produced by the American government, is inadvertently unleashed on a local populace. A team of mercenaries are sent in to restore order. Who will win the day: the undead or these rogue soldiers? Zombie Massacre is based on a video game from Benjamin Krotin, which is scheduled for release in 2012 through 1988 Games. However, as 2012 draws to an end, an official release date for the game has not been confirmed. For now, forget the joystick and enjoy the film's reel below. Director/writer: Luca Boni and Marco Ristori. Cast: Uwe Boll, Tara Cardinal, Mike Mitchell, Jon Campling, Christian Boeving,...
