The Transient
Student film The Transient follows a hobo hero who fights zombies and VAMPIRE LINCOLN, who is kind of a dick to his Spike vampire rip off, but we love him anyway. Here's the official synopsis:

Filmed in Champaign-Urbana Illinois, THE TRANSIENT is the story of a homeless vigilante and his case worker, Steve, as they try to thwart Vampire Abraham Lincoln and his gang of 1980's punks from sucking the blood of four-score and seven virgins.

The entire movie is here, but I'm going to use this grab of Lincoln teasing the tied up ladies as a screen saver.

Rat Scratch Fever
We've shown you stills from Rat Scratch Fever, so now check out the next trailer for these hairy beasties that want to take over the world... starting with your apartment.

Chohatsu Daikaiju Gehara:

The wonderful horror fiends at Bloody Disgusting have pointed our attention at a fuzzy wuzzy Godzilla-like creature called the Gehera. It's a short film about a hairy monster (who sadly is in dire need of some Rogaine for his noggin) that unleashes chaos on a city.



Inhabited Island 2
And finally it's no secret that I'm in LOVE with the lost in space Russian astronaut, those eyes my god those eyes. Well the first Inhabited Island flick, based off the novel from the Strugatsky brothers, came and went without too much hub-bub (and we're still awaiting the international release). But the teaser trailer for the second film (with the supposed all out war scenario between the curly-headed hero and the evil government) is out. Take a peek, not enough Maxim Kammerer for my taste, but god, willing there will be more.

We found an adorable little short about two boys who stumble across a magical toaster that turns ordinary breads into solid gold! The Toaster That Toasted the Golden Toast was written and directed by Danny Bourque and can be viewed in its entirety here. We grabbed a few fun pics below.

In other funny scifi indie news, we've got the trailer for Thor At The Bus Stop (Thanks to Quiet Earth for pointing out this little gem). Don't let the generic indie guitar music fool you, this looks like quite a little cutie. The film follows Thor, the Norse God, on his last day on Earth, as he knows he must die to save the planet. On his final day, the fearless warrior traverses about a little suburb meeting people and causing a chain reaction through each character.

Thor At The Bus Stop Trailer:

And finally, feast your eyes on the amazing new trailer from Russian scifi epic Inhabited Island. This is how you make a space movie: Find a pretty boy, put him in space, and then get him all dirty and angry. In Inhabited Island Maxim Kammerer crashlands on a planet wasted by nuclear destruction and ruled by unknown "fathers" who govern with mind-control towers.

Inhabited Island
The new Inhabited Island trailer is out, shedding some light as to what sort of alien creatures our hottie hero will encounter on the foreign planet. It's the year 2157, and a pretty-boy space pilot wrecks his ship on Saraksh Planet. Now it looks like he's going to have to fight werewolves and other beasties.

Splice
New pictures from Guillermo del Toro's Splice have arrived over at Shock Til' You Drop. This lovely bald baby is Dren who was conjured up by the mad scientists played by Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley. Dren is an unethical combination of both human and animal DNA.

Antibody
This weekend saw the New York Horror Film Fest, which debuted a few new indie shorties including a 20 minute short film called Antibody. This short focuses on patients being kept in a crappy prison for being infected with something that sounds like a zombie infestation. The main character is locked up in a prison with a wheezy next door cellmate and a penchant for vomiting. The audience experiences the whole zombie outbreak from inside the cell of one poor victim. You can watch the entire short movie here.

Burying The Ex
And finally, another zombie flick screened this weekend was Alan Trezza's Burying The Ex. Which has the adorable John Francis Daley from Freaks And Geeks and Bones, as Zak the boy who can't seem to get over his ex girlfriend, especially when she rises from the dead. I'm all aboard for scifi horror comedies as long as the continue to use stellar actors like Daley, and keep it short and funny. There is no need for any more Eva Longoria "back from the dead" romcoms.
