The theme for this year’s B-Movie, Underground and Trash Film Festival, held in the city of Breda in the Netherlands, is “Apocalypse.” So get ready to watch the world end dozens of different ways on Sept. 5-9 at various venues around the city.
The fun kicks off on the 5th with the German movie Hell by director Tim Fehlbaum. If you didn’t know, “hell” means “bright” in German and, given that title, this flick is set appropriately in a post-apocalyptic future where global warming has decimated the planet and surviving tribes battle for water and food.
Other post-apocalyptic visions include Milan Konjevic’s Zone of the Dead starring legendary zombie killer Ken Foree; Davi de Oliveira Pinheiro’s Bazillian underground hit Beyond the Grave about a world where magic and madness rule the world; and Rob van Eyck’s bizarrely twisted Afterman and Afterman 2.

Break
Stars: Marina Anna Eich, Lili Schackart, Ralph Willmann | Written and Directed by Matthias Olof Eich
Four young girlfriends head out to the Canadian woods for some downtime. But downtime turns to terror time when they discover a pile of intestines and a pair of severed feet dangling from a tree. The friends begin to realise humans are the preferred prey and that they are being hunted. Armed with bows and arrows, two brutal rednecks are on the rampage and the girls’ face a blood-soaked battle if they are to survive.
Directed by Matthias Olof Eich, this brutal game of sadistic cat-and-mouse between the sexes has been described as a return to the slasher movie extremes and I can see why. With a complete disdain for its female cast, Break is a real throwback to a time when slasher movies were all about women getting naked and getting sliced and diced…...

Indie director Matthias Olof Eich, who brought us Break in 2009, plans on a grand return next year with the release of his upcoming Cerusit, on which filming is currently under way.
Everything is being kept very hush-hush on this project, but from what we've been able to gather, it stars Aciel Martinez Pol and Patrick Jahns. For all other available info, visit the official Cerusit website and the Cerusit Facebook page, or follow the film on Twitter(@cerusit_movie).

Independent film director Matthias Olof Eich has started shooting his third feature film. After the backwoods slasher Break (2009), which debuted in the UK, Australia and the United States in 2012, and an arthouse project called Rest im Glas (2011), the Oberammergau-based filmmaker continues with Cerusit – a film about the dark past of his village.
Cerusit was the code name of a WWII subterranean production hall in Oberammergau (in Bavaira,...

Trinity X have announced they are to give a DVD release to the graphic German ‘backwoods slasher’ Break on April 16th 2012. Directed by Matthias Olof Eich, this brutal game of sadistic cat-and-mouse between the sexes goes to the extreme – so extreme in fact that the film has suffered cuts at the hands of the BBFC, who have trimmed 53 seconds from the film. According to the BBFC decision the cuts were: “…required to remove elements of nudity from a scene of sexual violence that eroticise sexual violence in a potentially harmful manner. Cuts required in accordance with BBFC Guidelines, policy and the Video Recordings Act 1984″.
Check out some screenshots from the film below, along with the trailer and official synopsis:
