Leslie Van Hooten (Stephens) is mourning the anniversary of her boyfriend’s murder. Her father (Moseley) and mother (Easterbrook) leave her at the family’s isolated estate with her fellow grad students. The weekend takes a turn for the worst when Cliff Rifton (Kayser), a recently released career criminal, and Buzz Schenk (Willis), his drug addict sidekick are hell bent on raging a torturous killing spree. The killers soon realize all is not as it seems in the house. As the body count begins to rise, it seems death is the only escape from the house.

Here is the brand new trailer for the upcoming documentary Filmed In Supermarionation, featuring digitally remastered clips from the iconic 1960s shows. The film will be out in October 2014.

Directed and produced by Stephen La Riviere (The Story Of Upstairs Downstairs, We Were ‘The Champions’), Filmed In Supermarionation is the definitive documentary on the work of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson and the iconic puppetry and animation technique they developed through the 1960s including Stingray, Captain Scarlet, and most famously, Thunderbirds.

One of the UK’s most succesful independent film franchises comes to a conclusion with “White Collar Hooligan 3: Revenge in Rio”. Following on from “The Rise & Fall of a White Collar Hooligan” and “White Collar Hooligan 2: England Away, the trilogy concludes as Mike and Eddie manage to track down the villain responsible for the death of Katie to exact their revenge, but all does not go according to plan in Rio against the backdrop of the World Cup. 

Nick Nevern (The Hooligan Factory) and Simon Phillips (He Who Dares) won audiences over with their portrayal of the hooligan fraudsters in the first two films and the third sees rising star Josh Myers (Green Street 3) join the franchise. Familiar faces Rita Ramnani (Jack Falls), Rebecca Ferdinando (Bonded by Blood) and Vas Blackwood (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) also reprise their roles from the first installments. As with the first two films, the third is written and directed by Paul Tanter.
