Camp Motion Pictures has send us over information and stills for their upcoming release on "Atomic Brain Invasion". The film is latest film from director Richard Griffin (Nun of That, The Disco Exorcist). Special Features on the DVD include audio commentary by director Richard Griffin, Producer Ted Marr and cast members David Lee White and David Wilson and Camp Motion Pictures trailer vault. "Atomic Brain Invasion blasts of on October 2nd .

Press Release:

A small New England town circa 1956 is the setting for Richard Griffin’s delightful homage to “B” sci-fi cinema, Atomic Brain Invasion! The feature marks Richard’s first foray into family-friendly science fiction, employing plot, character development, production value and gobs of goo-spewing alien brain creatures to stunning success. The director elaborated:

“For all of us involved, Atomic Brain Invasion was a wonderful way to make a horror film not only for adults to enjoy, but also to reach out to young people who were our age when we first discovered horror/sci-fi films in our pre-teens. Making a movie that will both entertain children and adults is always a risky venture, but we feel that Atomic Brain Invasion includes enough action, humor, romance and... of course... gruesome monsters... to thrill and excite audiences from 8 to 80! Plus, who doesn't want to see the King of Rock and Roll go toe to toe with slimy brain creatures from outer space?"

Synopsis

“They Came for the King!”

When a mysterious spacecraft carrying a deadly intergalactic plague crash-lands in a small New England town, it’s up to a group of misfit high schoolers and an alien abductee to stop the army of slime-spewing brain creatures from their one goal: kidnapping Elvis Presley!

Oozing with ‘50s pop-culture affection, Atomic Brain Invasion is a gleefully gooey homage to classic sci-fi cinema that the critics call “a success on every level, quick on its feet and packed with in-jokes for the seasoned genre film fan.” Kristofer Upjohn, Corazine.com

Theatrical screening and early press on Atomic Brain Invasion concludes:

"Half of the joy of watching 1950s "B" sci-fi movies was rooting for the cast to triumph over, not only the monster, but the monstrously small budgets. Atomic Brain Invasion is a delightful homage to that genre, successfully walking that fine line between high camp and well-crafted kitsch. It looks beautiful and, seriously, any movie that has a plotline involving aliens out to kidnap Elvis? Two tendrils up!" Ed Naha, Screenwriter "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids"

“It’s sharp, it’s funny and it’s the kind of thing that makes me hope that Griffin never stops making movies”. Cinema-Suicide.com

“a triumph” e-film critic.com

So, blast-off this October with Atomic Brain Invasion, a must-see for fans of “B” and sci-fi cinema!

Available to digital and home entertainment markets for the first time, Atomic Brain Invasion is presented with commentary by director Richard Griffin, Producer Ted Marr and cast members David Lee White and David Wilson, as well as a robust Camp Motion Pictures trailer vault.

Scorpio Film Releasing recently send us over some new stills and upcoming screening information for "The Disco Exorcist" and "Atomic Brain Invasion".

Press Release:

A duo of matinees are set to highlight Rhode Island’s premiere film production company, Scorpio Film Releasing, with a showing of their latest films ATOMIC BRAIN INVASON and THE DISCO EXORCIST gracing the screen of the historic Cable Car Cinema in Providence Rhode Island.

Critics have praised THE DISCO EXORCIST as “a lovingly created homage to the golden age of porn, bad hair, and grindhouse horror” (Killingboxx) and “an example of what happens when every single member of your cast and crew are synced up on the same page and moving in the same direction” (Twitch Film). THE DISCO EXORCIST will play Saturday April 16th at 2:30 pm. Because of the adult nature of the film, nobody under 18 will be admitted into the showing.

ATOMIC BRAIN INVASION, just off of its run at the Boston Underground Film Festival will play Sunday April 17th at 2:30pm. ATOMIC BRAIN INVASION follows a bunch of misfit high-schoolers as they band together to stop an army of brain creatures from outer space that intend to kidnap Elvis Presley when he performs in their small New England town.

Both showings are fundraisers for Scorpio Film Releasing’s next film, EXHUMED, set to begin shooting in areas around Rhode Island in May. EXHUMED is an edgy horror film, anticipating a move away from current, more supernaturally inclined fear flicks, towards something nastier and moodier. EXHUMED deals with a twisted family that is seemingly unable to leave their own home. Their gnarled existence and mounting animosity finally gives way to violence and visceral panic.

If you are unable to attend the screenings, but would still like to help make the film, visit the EXHUMED kickstarter campaign at http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/917322639/exhumed and donate to receive some great items.

"THE DISCO EXORCIST" Stills






"ATOMIC BRAIN INVASION" Stills

Scorpio Film Releasing is proud to announce that their next production, and most ambitious to date, will be the feature film 2009: MUTANTS OF THE APOCALYPSE, a unique vision of a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by outlandishly deformed mutants, ruthlessly violent gangs, corruptible leaders, wasteland temptresses, and the most badass antihero in movie history; Python Diamond. New England genre film director, Richard Griffin tackles his loftiest vision yet, in an epic production of grand scale action and science fiction.

As with Griffin’s other films NUN OF THAT, BEYOND THE DUNWICH HORROR, ATOMIC BRAIN INVASION, and upcoming THE DISCO EXORCIST, 2009: MUTANTS OF THE APOCALYPSE will be a genre inspired adventure movie much like Escape From New York, or the Italian “Spaghetti-Apocalypse” films Bronx Warriors, The New Barbarians, and Fall of New York. Griffin explains that “with Mutants of the Apocalypse I wanted to return the sci-fi/action film to it's roots. Real mayhem and not endless CGI. When you see the action and stunts in the movie, you'll know it's the real thing with real stunt men and women putting their lives at risk for your viewing entertainment."

2009: MUTANTS OF THE APOCALYPSE is loosely based on Scorpio Film Releasing’s short film, Mutants of the Apocalypse, their multiple award-winning entry into the 2010 Providence 48-Hour Film Challenge. Expanding on the themes of this ambitious low-budget short, the feature film will broaden the world presented into a full-scale land of chaos, decay, and plays of power, in some ways mirroring our current political situation. You can watch the original HD short film and link it here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qmvJqbYXP0

Currently in the pre-production stages, 2009: MUTANTS OF THE APOCALYPSE has a tentative shooting date set for early Fall 2011. Because of the level of design and production work, the filmmakers are taking their time to make sure every aspect of this world they are creating is memorable and exciting. Griffin is set to direct with Ted Marr producing. The screenplay is written by Tony Nunes (Zombie Allegiance) and Guy Benoit (Atomic Brain Invasion).

2009: MUTANTS OF THE APOCALYPSE has yet to be cast outside of the lead role of Python Diamond to be played by Gio Castellano (Atomic Brain Invasion & The Disco Exorcist). Casting for the film is expected to continue until late Spring.

Also on the Scorpio Film Releasing docket is the 1970’s set THE DISCO EXORCIST, Griffin’s bloodiest, sexiest film yet, which just wrapped principal photography last week, and will most likely premiere in February of 2011. The 1950’s Sci-Fi monster movie, ATOMIC BRAIN INVASION, also directed by Griffin will be available soon on DVD. Watch www.scorpiofilmreleasing.net for preorder details.
