Road Kill, starring Xavier Samuel (Eclipse), to be released via Fangoria Frightfest
Road Kill (formerly Road Train) was actor Xavier Samuel's final motion picture prior to becoming a household name after being cast in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Shot in the spring of 2009 on his home turf in Adelaide, South Australia, the film is a supernatural thriller about a group of teenagers menaced by a driver-less triple-trailer truck in the Australian outback. It was back in early November 2009 when I posted the official sales trailer for the movie as it was about to be exhibited by worldwide sales representative Lightning Entertainment at AFM in Los Angeles, the industry film market that runs concurrently with the public AFI Film Festival.
Now comes word that Road Kill has secured a distribution deal unlike any other, via Fangoria Frightfest. This unique new partnership between Fangoria, the genre magazine/website, and distributor Lightning Media would be fascinating even if not for the fact that this highly anticipated thriller is one of the eight titles included in the package. Road Kill will be released onDVD
, Video On Demand (VOD), and available as a digital download on a date to be announced. In addition, if fans go online and vote for it, the film will be slated for theatrical distribution in late July.
"Xavier had 'movie star' written all over him the minute he walked into my casting room," said director Dean Francis. "When he told me after wrap that he was trying out for Twilight, we all had no doubt he'd get the role -- he was extremely thorough on Road Kill, a real perfectionist, great in rehearsal and as a result gives a great performance. Xavier is the real deal, and no doubt he'll be on our screens for many years to come. He's also the perfect sexy vampire!"
The other titles in the competition include Pig Hunt, Fragile, Grimm Love, Dark House, Hunger, The Haunting, and The Tomb. The public is invited to visit FangoriaFrightFest.com to view trailers and special features for the eight films, then vote for the one they want to see on the big screen. Polls will be open from June 22 to July 19.
"Fangoria, both the magazine and on the web, is the leading resource for fans looking for a range of horror film styles," said Thomas DeFeo, president of Fangoria Entertainment . "We are excited to be able to team with Lightning Media to bring to the marketplace more of what we hear an array of fans -- people from diverse demographics with divergent tastes -- are asking to see. And that's top-quality production values, outstanding star power and variety of choice."
"The Fangoria FrightFest lineup represents a diversified lineup of quality genre entertainment, ranging from supernatural chillers to psychological horror and slasher flicks," added Lightning Entertainment Group co-president Rich Goldberg. "We want to embrace horror fans of every demographic. And Lightning Media wants to offer producers an alternative, multi-platform delivery system that provides greater awareness and accessibility to reach their audiences."
In addition, starting June 21, television viewers will be able to view 8 Fangoria Frights, a half hour special available for free via On Demand on most cable systems. Hosted by Cabin Fever star Vincent Cerina, the show will include clips, featurettes, and interviews with directors of thefilms .

Road Train
Xavier has another movie called Road Train, which he shot before landing the role of Riley in Eclipse. It is a thriller, that to me looks very scary (but I do get scared easily). They are putting the trailer out in hopes of getting a distribution deal. Below is the trailer, let us know what you think about it.
“Road Train” OFFICIAL TRAILER, starring Xavier Samuel of “Eclipse”
I've been following the career of Australian actor Xavier Samuel for several years. He starred in Newcastle, which was one of my Top Picks from the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival. He also appeared in 2:37, one of my favorites from the Santa Barbara Film Festival in January 2007. In an exclusive audio interview after the World Premiere of Newcastle in New York last year, I sat down with Xavier, his castmates, and director Dan Castle to discuss the film. I was the only American journalist there -- I was joined by two Australian reporters.
Since then, almost overnight, Xavier Samuel has become a household name and I've stayed on top of the news. On July 16th I reported on the casting of Samuel in the forthcoming The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Then on July 22nd I was happy to pass on the news that his new film The Loved Ones would be having its International Premiere at TIFF, and on August 20 I was especially thrilled to announce that Xavier's attendance at the festival had been confirmed.
Prior to the screening I was invited to a party thrown by programmer Colin Geddes to celebrate the 10-night Midnight Madness series and the debut of The Loved Ones. Cast and crew of the film attended the event, including Xavier Samuel and Victoria Thaine. I posted some of my photos from the pre-party as well as pictures from the post-screening Q&A, along with a few shots of Samuel in the lobby afterward.
The Loved Ones continues to play the film festival circuit and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is set for release June 30, 2010.
Xavier's filmography continues to grow, and here is the official sales trailer for his new film Road Train, a supernatural thriller about a group of teenagers menaced by a driver-less triple-trailer truck in the Australian outback. The film is currently being exhibited by worldwide sales representative Lightning Entertainment at AFM in Los Angeles, the industry film market running concurrently with the public AFI Film Festival. The trailer is aimed at acquisition reps in hopes of landing a distribution deal.
This was Xavier's final motion picture prior to being cast in Eclipse. Shot this past spring on his home turf in Adelaide, South Australia, the shocker is currently in post-production for a 2010 release.
