A suitably gory new teaser one-sheet for Brian O'Malley's directorial debut 'Let Us Prey' has been unearthed. The British/Irish co-production is currently in post-production but we're certain of seeing plenty more shocks and gruesomeness along the way heading to a final official release date. The movie stars Liam Cunningham ('Game of Thrones') and Pollyanna McIntosh ('The Woman') and action takes place in a remote police station where a terrifying and influencial individual is being detained. 'Let Us Prey' also stars Bryan Larkin, Niall Greig Fulton, Douglas Russell, Hanna Stanbridge, James McCreadie, Jonathan Watson and Brian Vernel. Head below to check out the new poster.

With less than a year until the supposed release of a brand new 'Friday the 13th' movie you would think it was prudent to lock in your director!? Thankfully it seems this may now be the case as 'V/H/S' director David Bruckner looks to be the man to take on the job. The Wrap are reporting that Bruckner, the guy responsible for the "Amateur Night" segment in 2012's horror anthology 'V/H/S', is being tapped to fill the void for the new 'Friday the 13th' feature. Although it's not yet clear as to how this new project will tie in to the franchise and whether it'll be remotely connected to that of Marcus Nispel's 2009 remake. Platinum Dunes will produce.

It's time to do a little jig and celebrate the fact that the first official teaser one-sheet for Zach Lipovsky's 'Leprechaun: Origins' has been uncovered. Whether of not the franchise needs rebooting is a question that seems to have been answered positively by Lionsgate along with WWE Studios whom have teamed up to bring us this new look version which is said to be "darker and a more traditional horror." Warwick Davis ('Life's Too Short'), whom was fitted out in the fetching green attire for 6 of the previous installments, has been looked over this time around in favour of WWE's own Hornswoggle Dylan Postl. Brendan Fletcher, Teach Grant, Andrew Dunbar, Stephanie Bennett, Bruce Blain and Adam Boys also star. Check out the new poster below.

Earlier this month Jonathan Glazer’s new sci-fi thriller 'Under the Skin' arrived in US theatres and took audiences on a wild ride filled with unusualness, artiness, visual metaphor and with little Kubrikesque touches all along the way. And not forgetting an impressive turn out from the sexy Scarlett Johansson ('The Avengers') who certainly gives her all, including some full frontal nudity, in her performance. If you haven't yet seen the movie then perhaps this little featurette that includes interview excerpts with Johansson, director Glazer and producer James Wilson as well as plenty of footage from the project will help entice you further. But if the promise of Johansson flesh didn't already get yout attention then we don't know what will. Check out the featurette below.

NBC have finally dropped the official trailer for their upcoming re-adaptation of classic horror yarn 'Rosemary’s Baby'. The story has been crafted into a two part mini-series by the network who will be premiering the show on Sunday 11 May. Unfortunately you'll only be able to view the new trailer if you're US-based, due to country restrictions but hopefully these will slacken in due time. The new show stars Zoe Saldana ('Star Trek into Darkness') as Rosemary and she is joined by Patrick J. Adams, Jason Isaacs ('Harry Potter'), Carole Bouquet and Christina Cole. 'The Killing's Agnieszka Holland directs the project from a script adapted by James Wong ('Final Destination') and Scott Abbott ('Queen of the Damned'). Check the new trailer below.

Legendary and Warner Bros. Pictures have unveiled yet another piece of cool 'Godzilla' artwork as part of the promotions for their upcoming WonderCon 2014 appearance this coming weekend. The presentation kicks off at 11:00am at the Anaheim event which is preceded at 10:30am with the appearance of director Gareth Edwards who will be on hand to sign copies of this very poster! 'Godzilla' stars an impressive line-up that includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson ('Kick-Ass 2'), Bryan Cranston ('Breaking Bad'), Elizabeth Olsen ('Silent House'), Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins ('Made in Dagenham'), David Strathairn ('Lincoln'), Ken Watanabe ('Inception'), Richard T. Jones ('Event Horizon'), Patrick Sabongui, Yuki Morita, Brian Markinson,  Akira Takarada, Victor Rasuk, C.J. Adams and Ken Yamamura ('The Wolverine'). Check the new poster below.

Jeff Baena's new zombie comedy horror 'Life After Beth' is all set to arrive in limited theatres across the US this Summer. A24 who picked up the distribution rights earlier this year have announced that the feature will be released on 15 August 2014 pitting up against the likes of action sequel 'The Expendables 3'. 'Life After Beth' stars Aubrey Plaza ('Safety Not Guaranteed'), Dane DeHaan ('Chronicle'), Anna Kendrick ('Up in the Air'), John C. Reilly, Alia Shawkat ('Arrested Development'), Cheryl Hines ('Curb your Enthusiasm') and Molly Shannon. DirecTV will also be able to screen the movie for 30 days before the theatrical release.

Sexy star of 'The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev (below) is the latest actress to sign on for Todd Strauss-Schulson's ('A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas') new horror comedy 'The Final Girls'. The 25 year old has signed on to Groundswell Productions' latest offering and is set to play the former friend of Taissa Farmiga's ('American Horror Story') character. Farmiga finds herself trapped inside a horror film in which her now dead mother (played by the hot Malin Akerman ('Watchmen')) starred in during the 1980's. So there's plenty of scope there for genre in-jokes, references and hopefully a whole lot of horror. Sony Pictures will be distributing the feature which begins shooting this month in Louisiana.

Fox Searchlight have released a new official trailer for the sci-fi drama 'I Origins' which comes courtesy of 'Another Earth' writer/director Mike Cahill. Michael Pitt ('Funny Games') stars as a molecular biologist whom along with his assistant uncovers startling evidence that may fundamentally change society. Cahill also reteams with Brit Marling ('Sound of My Voice') and William Mapother ('Lost') whom both starred in his previous effort which also had Marling on board to lend her co-writing talents. 'I Origins', which hits theatres this July, also stars Steven Yeun ('The Walking Dead'), Archie Panjabi, Cara Seymour and the sexy Astrid Bergès-Frisbey (below). Check out the new trailer below.

Empire have uncovered a couple of new gruesome stills from Marjane Satrapi's new comedy thriller 'The Voices'. The stills feature star Ryan Reynolds in a couple of uncharacteristic poses. The first which sees our lead stabbing away at a mysterious woman and the second which features Reynolds feeding cereal to a decapitated head on his breakfast bar! The movie revolves around Jerry who begins hearing evil talking voices from a cat and dog that leads him into a whole world of bizareness and murder. Gemma Arterton ('Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters'), Anna Kendrick ('Up in the Air') and Jacki Weaver all co-star in 'The Voices'. There's no official release date plans at the moment but we're sure it won't be long now. Check the stills below.

Whilst NBC have been happy to drop in the teasers and images from upcoming horror TV adaptation 'Rosemary's Baby' the network was very tight lipped regarding the actual air dates. The two part series has finally been gifted with that of an official release date and Rosemary will be up the duff in time for the premiere on Sunday 11 May with the second and final installment airing on the network on Thursday 15 May, and both showing at 9pm. The new mini-series stars Zoe Saldana ('Star Trek into Darkness'), Patrick J. Adams, Jason Isaacs ('Harry Potter'), Carole Bouquet and Christina Cole.

'Godzilla' is the main star of the latest 'Godzilla' still, as well he should be. Our atomically challenged leading lizard takes centre stage for the pic featured in Entertainment Weekly's new Summer movie preview. The beast is loitering around a bridge whilst taking some major blasts from those pesky army types below and doing his best to contain his anger. Aaron Taylor-Johnson ('Kick-Ass 2'), Bryan Cranston ('Breaking Bad'), Elizabeth Olsen ('Silent House'), Juliette Binoche, Sally Hawkins ('Made in Dagenham'), David Strathairn ('Lincoln'), Ken Watanabe ('Inception'), Richard T. Jones ('Event Horizon'), Patrick Sabongui, Yuki Morita, Brian Markinson,  Akira Takarada, Victor Rasuk, C.J. Adams and Ken Yamamura ('The Wolverine') all head up the cast set to face the destructive force of the scaly one! Head below for the new pic.

At last we get a great new batch of ape-based stills hot from Matt Reeves' upcoming simian sequel 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes'. The new pics come courtesy of USA Today and they certainly make a change from the stack of MoCap ones we've seen to date. This time we get plenty of monkey business and some fresh poses from stars Jason Clarke ('Zero Dark Thirty') and Gary Oldman ('Bram Stoker's Dracula'). DOTPOTA also stars Keri Russell ('Dark Skies') Kodi Smit-McPhee ('ParaNorman'), Enrique Murciano, Kirk Acevedo ('Fringe'), Judy Greer ('Archer'), Andy Serkis ('The Hobbit') and Toby Kebbell ('Black Mirror'). Head below to check out the new stills.

Brit actor and all round nice guy Nick Frost (below) is moving behind the camera to make his directorial debut on a new horror short. According to the guys over at The Wrap the 42 year old actor and star of movies such as 'Shaun of the Dead', 'The World's End' and sci-fi comedy 'Paul' is hoping to shoot his new short which he also wrote this coming May or June. There's no real details about the short itself at this time other than it will be genre related but being such a talent himself and having spent years working alongside fellow geniuses such as Simon Pegg and director Edgar Wright we're certain he's picked up all the necessary skills and adeptness in handling this. We can't wait!
