IFC Midnight has set a July 3 VOD release date for visual effects artist Benni Diez’s feature film, Stung. Model/actress Jessica Cook stars as a catering employee hired for an extravagant garden party where illegally acquired fertilizer mutates Ichneumon wasps into seven-foot monsters.

An average sized wasp is enough to make the strongest of us scream and run like children. Now, imagine a giant parasitic wasp looking to lay eggs inside your body! Diez loads laughs into the outrageous horror-comedy, but we’ll be damned if it ain’t a disturbing concept. We’re buzzing with anticipation!

‘Supergirl’ Wears Prada in First Trailer Fail!

supergirl

CBS has released a trailer for “Supergirl,” its new superhero series from Warner Bros. and the producers of “Arrow” and “The Flash” on CBS sister station The CW. The trailer is more than six minutes long, but only gets interesting at the 4:10 mark when star Melissa Benoist (“Glee”) appears in costume.

The outfit is a skintight blue top and tiny red booty shorts, which Supergirl regretfully dismisses in favor for a short red skirt and cape. The skirt works and adds promise to the show—a kind of ridiculous Devil Wears Prada meets “The Hills” meets superhero mix that looks like this Black Widow SNL skit.

“Supergirl” follows Superman’s hot 24-year-old cousin, Kara Zor-El, living on earth after the destruction of her planet Krypton. Bearing the same superpowers as the Man of Steel, she sets out to save mankind.

Pernicious

Benetone Films has set a June 19 VOD and theatrical release date for writer and director James Cullen Bressack’s new supernatural thriller Pernicious. The film follows three American girlfriends on holiday in Thailand where they inadvertently disturb the malicious spirit of a murdered child.

The trio of BFFs is played by stunners Ciara Hanna (”Power Rangers”), Jackie Moore (Atlantic Rim), and Emily O’Brien (”Young and the Restless), but good luck trying to keep a boner during all that man-torture! Regardless, the story seems cool, the setting intriguing, and the ghost child very creepy.

Images from the gruesome movie have been released and are posted below. To see the trailer, go here.

First Look at Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn in ‘Suicide Squad’

margot-robbie-harley-quinn-hot

Margot Robbie plays Harley Quinn in David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, an adaptation of the DC Comic about a group of super-villains brought together by a government agency for a suicide mission. The first images of the Australian stunner in her costume have gone online, and we can rejoice!

Ayer has made the bold choice of bucking comic book movie convention in giving his female lead a sexy, revealing outfit. Sure, the boobs aren’t out enough, but them shorts are pretty tight. In these type of movies where male characters outnumber female, you take what you can, and this is more than usual.

Harley Quinn is the Joker’s (Jared Leto) emotionally damaged girlfriend, a former Arkham Asylum psychiatrist manipulated by the Joker to aid in his evil ways. The role marks Robbie’s third high-profile project following the Will Smith glossy crime caper Focus and Martin Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Street.

Sara-Fabel-Anarchy-Parlor

Gravitas Ventures has released a trailer for Kenny Gage and Devon Downs’ new slasher Anarchy Parlor (formerly titled Parlor). Releasing in theaters June 19 and on VOD May 12, the film stars Robert Lasardo as a renowned tattoo artist targeting American tourists in Lithuania for his underground art business.

Anarchy Parlor co-stars hot and talented newcomer Tiffany DeMarco, gorgeous Finnish model and tattoo artist Sara Fabel, and beautiful, busty British lad models Joey Fisher and Beth Humphreys.

We caught Anarchy Parlor’s world premiere at last year’s Screamfest LA and thought it to be one of the most enthralling and fun slashers in recent horror, chockful of outrageous gore, frivolous nudity, and twisted humor. Read our review here.

Will Schoolgirl Megan Fox Make You Shell Out for ‘TMNT 2’

SPL1012588_004

Images of Megan Fox as April O’Neil on the set of producer Michael Bay’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 have gone online. Despite a questionable blonde wig, Fox looks absolutely stunning in the shots, wearing a sexy schoolgirl getup complete with pleated skirt and knee-high socks.

The outfit provides a sigh of relief for dads who will be dragged by their kids to watch the sequel to the inexplicable 2014 blockbuster. Kudos to Bay and director Dave Green for that display of kindness.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is Bay’s reboot of the popular comic first published in 1984 by Mirage Studios. It centers on four turtles that mutate into crime fighting humanoids after being exposed to radioactive slime. TMNT 2 arrives June 3, 2016.
