Production has wrapped on a new documentary Best Served Cold from writer director Eric Zaldivar and we have your very first look at the project, premiering the first trailer right here, right now. Centered around a seldom-seen then buried American crime action film from 1977, David Berlatsky's The Farmer, the doc will explore the many ups, downs and huhs, during production. And because The Farmer is a story about a returning combat veteran getting caught up in the local crime scene the doc pivots towards the Vetsploitation sub-genre. Apart from interviewing everyone still around associated with The Farmer, Zaldivar also interviewed scribe Paul Schrader (Rolling Thunder) and David Morrell, the Canadian-American novelist who created the character Rambo with his debut novel back in...

For many, Christmas is an annual celebration of goodwill and joy, but for others, it’s a time to curl up on the couch in the dead of winter for a good old fashioned fright. The festive holiday season has always included a more somber side, and scary tales of child-stealing demons to ghost stories told ‘round the fireplace go back to pre-Christian celebrations. These long-standing traditions have found modern expression in Christmas horror film and television shows, a unique and sometimes controversial subgenre that cheerfully drives a stake of holly through the heart of cherished Christmas customs.
Yuletide Terror: Christmas Horror on Film and Television, the latest book by Canadian micro-publisher Spectacular Optical, offers a definitive, in-depth exploration of the history of these subversive film and television presentations that allow viewers to engage in different ways with the complicated cultural history of the Christmas season.

Over many decades there have been nearly three dozen films that have used the recognizable western name of Django. The most recent came from Quentin Tarantino in the form of Django Unchained, but the original was released in 1966 and starred Franco Nero (who had a small cameo in Tarantino's film). Since then, there's only been one official sequel, Django Strikes Again in 1987, but there's about to be another. Point Blank Pictures has sent out a press release (via Twitch) announcing that they've secured the rights to Django, and they're bringing back Nero to star in a new sequel called Django Lives, and it sounds cool. Joe D'Augustine (co-editor on four of Tarantino's films) will direct the film with a script from Eric Zaldivar and Mike Malloy that brings Django into 1915, where 's consulting on silent western motion pictures in Hollywood. But trouble brews when Django gets caught up with some...

Sergio Corbucci's 1966 gunslinger Django was one of several spaghetti Westerns the Italians created during a slump in the American genre. Its success spawned a series of imitators that starred violent, amoral heroes like Django's Franco Nero. The late 1960s saw a slew of "Django" films, although most of them had nothing to do with the original. Now, Quentin Tarantino will add his own work to the oeuvre with Django Unchained, opening Christmas day. Nero makes a cameo appearance (pictured above), but it looks like he'll also be reprising the role that made him famous in yet another Django film. The Italian actor has agreed to star in Django Lives! for producers Eric Zaldivar and Mike Malloy (Eurocrime!, The Scarlet Worm). Slashfilm shared the synopsis, that...
