Your dad (Master P)'s Pig People want to eat you and steal your stylishly accessorized hoodies! Plus, there's a trailer for the cute little love story Nightfur.


Lil' Romeo and Master P's horror movie The Pig People has two trailers full of scared teens and strange looking, erm... um... well... Pig People. Check it out - They have little ears, a snout, and love devouring human flesh and wearing outfits, just like Wilbur.



Nightfur:

Okay, so this is what I think happens in this movie: There is a romance between a voyeuristic astrophysicist and a short-haired girl. Anyone else know anything about this? I'm crazy confused. For some reason it reminds me a bit of I Heart Huckabees, with the cloudy plot.


Humains
Here is the full official trailer for the French movie Humains. It's your standard, "many people go into a cave, and only a few come out" story. But these monsters aren't pigs or crawlers, but the missing link. Let's be honest; there is NO WAY these monkey people could top the gray gorillas from Congo, unless they can talk... Can they talk, Jacques-Olivier Molon? And if they do, do they sound like Nell, but with a Swedish accent, since it's set in the Alps? Thanks for finding this trailer Quiet Earth!

Humains

La Horde:

We're very sorry we missed this little behind-the-scenes look at French zombie film La Horde, but it gives a close look into how they will be dealing with zombie crowd control (here's a hint it involves death and guns):

<![CDATA[Nessie's Long Lost Cousin Is Discovered By Energy-Producing Trees]]> This week on Cult Movie Worship, we follow a half naked amnesiac through an underground world full of science experiments gone wrong and powered by tree roots in Eden's Log, meet a new type of man and meet Nessie's relative before she devours a group of unlucky fishermen. Who could want more to bring your weekend to a happy ending?

Eden Log:
Dystopian paradise Eden Log wants to offer you a passport, but before you accept, be aware that that may mean waking up naked and covered in mud in the bottom of a cave. At least, that's exactly what happens to main character Tolbiac, who awakens without any memories or knowledge as to how he got to this strange place. He's then informed by "digital phantoms" that he is in a city that runs on energy produced from the roots of a giant tree, and that he has to journey through the bottom of this world chased by mutants - created from the Eden Log laboratories - and phantoms. This French film, directed by Franck Vestiel, has been making the festival rounds and was recently at the Toronto Film Festival.

Humains (Humans):
When a band of researchers travel to the Swiss Alps hoping to find out more about the evolution of man, what they encounter is an entirely new species of human-like creature... and the new "man" is pissed. Like all good thrillers, the scientific journey goes terribly wrong and it's human versus new man. My money is on the ape people.




Monster Movie:
A group of buddies head out on their annual trip and encounter a terrible Nessie-like monster, recording the whole experience on their shaky cam like the good post-Cloverfield and Blair Witch characters that they are. Okay, the monster is pretty plastic looking, but aren't all good B monster movies supposed to be like that? Plus points to the creators for rounding up their friends for all the side characters. You can preorder your DVD at Tempe; it hits stores this September 15.

<![CDATA[Carnival Tourists, Evolution And Crazy Mutants In New French Horror Films]]> Here's the new poster for Mutants, a new French movie about a married couple trying to escape from a pack of bloodthirsty mutant types. We've got the full poster, plus one other, below. Another new vaguely post-apocalyptic looking horror film from France, Humains, released a few spooky stills. Both films seem to stick to the tried-and-true convention of a few survivors fleeing something awful. Could we be seeing the rise of F-horror? Spoilers ahead.

Here are the two Mutants posters. One was posted at Shocktillyoudrop, the other went up on director David Morley's MySpace page.

Not much is known about the film, except that our couple is being chased by "primitive and bloodthristy creatures," and things get nastier after one of them gets bitten. I'm guessing there will be running through dark tunnels and stuff. Shocktillyoudrop has a couple of stills, which look like they may take place in some kind of underground complex.

Meanwhile, we know a bit more about Humains, which released some stills through German site BlairWitch. Here's a synopsis from Twitch:

A team of several researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery on human evolution. A family of tourists who have come to take part in the famous carnival. The trip, however, turns into a deadly fight for survival when everyone crashes into a gully and find themselves falling prey to someone...or something.

It's got everything! Researchers, evolution, tourists, carnivals, and dark caves. Also, the tagline "Are we the only human beings on Earth?" suggests some kind of huge genocidal catastrophe. Also, judging from the stills at BlairWitch, there's a car crash, someone gets injured, and there's a mysterious skeleton. And then someone almost drowns in a flood. At left is a poster (where the cave sort of looks like a monster face) and here's one of the new stills:
