I’m so wondering how good or bad this is going to be. The network that years ago was all about music videos and nowadays is about reality garbage launches teen wolf series. It kind of sounds like a really bad joke, then again it’s MTV….need I say more? Take a look at the trailer and tell me what you think.

Synopsis: A remake of the 1979 controversial cult classic, I Spit on Your Grave retells the horrific tale of writer Jennifer Hills who takes a retreat from the city to a charming cabin in the woods to start on her next book. But Jennifer’s presence in the small town attracts the attention of a few morally deprived locals led by JOHNNY, the town’s service station owner, his two co-workers, ANDY and STANLEY, who along with their socially and mentally challenged friend MATTHEW, set out one night to teach this city girl a lesson.
They break into her cabin to scare her. However, what starts out as terrifying acts of humiliation and intimidation, quickly and uncontrollably escalates into a night of physical abuse and torturous rape. But before they can kill her, Jennifer sacrifices her broken and beaten body to a raging river that washes her away.
As time passes, the men slowly stop searching for her body and try to go back to life as usual. But that isn’t about to happen. Against all odds, Jennifer Hills survived her ordeal. Now, with hell bent vengeance, Jennifer’s sole purpose is to turn the tables on these animals and to inflict upon them, every horrifying and torturous moment they carried out on her…only much, much worse!

Spanish Broadcasting System and Echo Bridge Home Entertainment have entered into a distribution agreement to release the mega-series that captivated audiences worldwide, “Gabriel Amor Immortal,” on DVD on Tuesday, Feb. 9th, 2010.
This exclusive box-set will include all the episodes of the series, along with behind the scenes footage, deleted scenes including the famous love scene between Chayanne and Angelica Celaya that was too hot to show on television, and music videos featuring songs by Chayanne, and Jose Luis “El Puma” Rodriguez.
“It was something that fans kept asking for and we felt it was time for the series to be released on DVD,” said Agustin, Creator, Writer and Director of Megaseries “Gabriel.” “The DVD allowed me to include things that I wasn’t able to show on television, like more blood, more action and more passionate scenes. Additionally, what we have included on the DVD set is what most resembles my vision for the Mega-series.”
Winner of six Suncoast Regional Emmy(R) Awards and produced by
Megafilms and DirecTV Mas, “Gabriel” is the first scripted dramatic
Megaseries filmed in high-definition with 3-D animation and special effects.

CHAYANNE ES GABRIEL
Chayanne portrays the modern day vampire, “Gabriel,” a tortured being whose only hope of salvation lies in reuniting with his reincarnated soulmate, Eva, played by the Mexican starlet, Angelica Celaya. Eva was killed over 300 years ago when Gabriel was still mortal and his village was attacked by the bloodthirsty, conquistador-turned-nightstalker, Pizarro, portrayed by Jose Luis “El Puma” Rodriguez.
Doomed to roam eternal darkness after being cursed by an Inca princess as revenge for the destruction of her village, Pizarro threatens to once again rob Gabriel of his long-lost love.

We haven’t talked much about Daybreakers, the upcoming vampire film by writer/director siblings Michael and Peter Spierig, but the release of the film’s extended TV trailer seems reason enough to shed some light on it. The film stars Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe in a world where vampires rule, and humans are a minority hunted for blood. In the trailers it’s revealed that the vampires blood supply is dwindling, and that they’re searching for a synthetic blood substitute. There’s also talk of a “cure”—apparently the worldwide vampirism was caused by a plague of some sort.
I like the film’s reversal by making vampires the dominant group, and overall it looks like a perfectly stylish blend of sci-fi and horror. Quite honestly, I was hoping we’d eventually see a film with this premise in the Blade universe, but we can thank David Goyer for running that into the ground with Blade: Trinity.
Industry insiders praise the film for its high concept, some action sequences, and the Spierig brother’s ability to get a lot out of a low budget. Overall, it was better than they both expected. Apparently, Daybreakers was delayed for some time since its completion, which had them both worried about its quality going in.
