This week has seen Cannibal Holocaust come up more often than even that time I went to the Cannibal Holocaust convention. First Bloody Disgusting reported that CH director Ruggero Deodato was making a cameo appearance in Eli Roth’s Hostel: Part 2. Then we relayed to you Ryan “Rotten” Turek’s look at Welcome to the Jungle, … Continue reading
Good day! I figured I’d share the entire old EPK with you since the style and shape of the CHUD.com branded movie is changing. No more digital video for us, nope. Film, baby.

The Hughes Brothers have been in director jail* since 2002’s From Hell was so fucking terrible. Just completely fucking awful. But now they’re coming back, and it’s with a project that a number of directors have been eyeing – a big screen version of the David Carradine TV show Kung Fu. The script is being … Continue reading
