SCREAM QUEENS ON VIVA TV (UK)
At the bleeding heart of every horror film is a strong and sexy
woman with a cracking set of lungs – a Scream Queen. VIVA’s brand new show,
Scream Queens, will search for the ultimate horror babe, giving her the chance
to win a breakout role in Saw VI which is in cinemas now.
Through a series of increasingly outrageous challenges the
contestants are forced to leave morals at the door and turn to backstabbing and
bitchiness to rise to the top of this cut-throat challenge!
Diving into a pool of disgusting blood and gore; being shoved
into a body drawer in a morgue; covering yourself with thousands of cockroaches.
It's all in a week's work for the six remaining actresses vying for the breakout
role of a lifetime in Saw VI.
The show airs on Monday 23 November at 10pm on VIVA, channel 358
on SKY or Freeview channel 21 (cable viewers, check you EPG).

EXAM TIME IN JANUARY
Eight talented candidates have reached the final stage of
selection to join the ranks of a mysterious and powerful corporation. Entering a
windowless room, where an armed guard keeps watch, they are given 80 minutes to
answer one simple question. The invigilator outlines three very specific rules
that they must obey – and if they don't, they will be disqualified:
1. They must not speak to the invigilator or the armed guard by the door.
2. They must not spoil their papers.
3. They must not leave the room.
The invigilator starts the clock and leaves. The candidates turn over their
question papers, only to find… they’re completely blank. Tensions rise as the
clock counts down to zero, and each candidate must decide how far they are
prepared to win the ultimate job.
The film stars Colin Salmon and Natalie Cox and will be in UK
cinemas January 2010.
DESCENT 2 WEBSITE ONLINE
With "Descent Part 2" due out at UK cinemas in December, the
distributors at Pathe have launched the official website at
http://www.thedescent2.co.uk/
Described as the "Shit Scared film of 2009", Shauna Macdonald
returns as Sarah, the sole survivor of 2005’s original horror thriller The
Descent, in which a group of young women disappeared during a caving trip in the
Appalachian Mountains.
Emerging from the cave system alone, distraught and covered in the blood of her
missing companions, Sarah is incoherent and half-wild with fear. Sceptical about
her account of events and convinced Sarah's psychosis hides far darker secrets,
Sheriff Vaines (Gavan O’Herlihy) doesn’t waste time. Along with his partner Rios
(Krysten Cummings), and their cave rescue team Dan (Douglas Hodge), Greg (Joshua
Dallas), and Cath (Anna Skellern), Vaines forces Sarah back into the caves to
help the rescuers find her friends.
But what await them below?
The official site is now online, featuring clips and multimedia
from the film and will feature a new exclusive clip each week from now until its
release on December 4th.

THIRSTY FOR KOREAN VAMPIRES
Korean Vampire film "Thirst", from director
Park Chan-wook (Old Boy, Lady Vengeance) is coming to UK cinemas in October.
Continuing his explorations of human existence
in extreme circumstances, the director spins a tale that he conceived and then
developed over several years with co-screenwriter Chung Seo-kyung.
Sang-hyun (The Host) is a priest who cherishes
life; so much so, that he selflessly volunteers for a secret vaccine development
project meant to eradicate a deadly virus. But the virus takes the priest, and a
blood transfusion is urgently ordered up for him. The blood he receives is
infected, so Sang-hyun lives – but now exists as a vampire.
The film hits UK cinemas on 16th October
