A sales trailer for Vantage Media International’s newly acquired supernatural thriller Pernicious has gone online.

Written and directed by James Cullen Bressack (Unmimely Demise), Pernicious follows a group of American girlfriends in Thailand for the summer to teach English and party hard. Things go terribly wrong when the spirit of an abused eight-year-old latches on to them, looking to unleash its anger.
Eye-popping images have gone online for director Victor Matellano’s remake of recently deceased Spanish fright master José Ramón Larraz’s 1974 classic Vampyres, a kink-fueled tale centered on a pair of lesbian vampires and the victims they lure to their lair with promises of hot orgy sex.

Like the ending to all of our college dates, Oblivion star and Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko is topless and in tears in French photographer Stephane Coutelle’s new portrait. It’s unclear what the meaning behind the arty, black-and-white shot is, but at least you can feel cultured while rubbing one out.
Kurylenko is coming off director Mark Waters (Mean Girls) and screenwriter Daniel Waters’ (Heathers) adaptation of Richelle Mead’s bestselling young-adult book series, The Vampire Academy.
Up until Oblivion with Tom Cruise, Kurylenko was best known for her portrayal of revenge-seeking Bond girl Camille Montes in the James Bond film Quantum of Solace. The Ukrainian stunner can also be seen in Neil Marshall’s Centurion and the big-screen video game adaptations Hitman and Max Payne.

The official synopsis reads:
It’s 1946, and peace has dealt Peggy Carter a serious blow as she finds herself marginalized when the men return home from fighting abroad.

Her role as Agent Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger and Captain America: The Winter’s Soldier, along with her big, beautiful, white and creamy breasts, has catapulted the British stunner to the A-list.
Atwell will next be seen in The Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Porn star Tera Patrick has seen a lot of dicks in her life, but none more dangerous than the one she meets in TomCat Films’ new horror indie Angel of Darkness: The Legend of Lilith. Patrick plays the girlfriend of a small-time hood who takes her on a crime spree that comes to an unexpected supernatural end.
Patrick tells AVN:
I play Vicki, a totally twisted opportunist. My boyfriend Stu [Rhine] is a low-life criminal who leads the way down a twisted path of home invasions, murder, mayhem, and I’m happily along for the ride!
I’ve been a glamour puss for all my life and career so if the opportunity presents itself for me to get battered and bloody I welcome it! It’s a nice change to be dark and sinister. I hope I get to do more horror movies!
Angel of Darkness: The Legend of Lilith is set at a fetish club party where attendees have gathered to celebrate its owner’s new art piece, an ancient Sumerian statue that holds the powerful succubus Lilith captive. Unbeknownst to the guests, they are part of a ceremony meant to free it.
