To me, there are probably two genres that are the hardest for film makers to nail. Those genres are comedies and horrors. In both the writing has to be up to scratch and timing is of the utmost importance which is why there are so many failures released every year. However, more so than with comedies, every year there is a real glut of low budget horrors released both at the cinema and direct to disc with audiences seemingly lapping up what's offered despite how poor it is. The fascination is bizarre with repeatedly trying what is unlikely to be any good. Here is a thread dedicated to horrors that are more horrific because of their existence rather than the shocks they hold.
Outpost II: Black Sun
and
Outpost III: Rise of the Spetsnaz
Two sequels to the 2008 low budget horror about a group of mercenaries entering a WW2 bunker with a scientist to find an abandoned Nazi machine. Then, one by one they're picked off by what appear to be apparitions of the missing Nazi soldiers. The second film will follow and SAS team sent into the bunker to stop the Nazi force escaping, the third film will start filming soon.
Also filming around now is:
Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines
"A small West Virginia town is hosting the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where throngs of costumed partygoers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals kill the fun when they trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students."
Why? Dear god, why?
