The trash film maker The Asylum landed their biggest hit to date eight years ago with the "Sharknado" series, which triggered a real hype and was even shown in cinemas and sold millions of copies on DVD and Blu-ray Disc. The consequent further development of this - without a zombie shark, but with plenty of other zombified inhabitants of the sea - is now called "Aquarium of the Dead" and delivers exactly what the less imaginative, but once again on an upcoming blockbuster (Army of the Dead) promises: An aquarium full of mutated octopuses, sea lions, crabs and even starfish looking to get back at their human tormentors! Why is this all happening? Because – as so often – a scientific experiment fails. Now security officer Clu (Vivica A. Fox) has to ensure law and order.
In this context, who doesn't like to remember the famous «Tomb Invader», trip to «Triassic Park» or the horrifying «Megalodon», Asylum's answer to The MEG? If any indie studio knows how to learn from the big names in Hollywood, it's The Asylum. In fact, the trash film forge has even specialized and shot in exactly that. Copies and imitations are made here without even remotely approaching the quality, cost or class of the templates. But that is of course calculation and quite intentional. Because no matter how trashy and (in)voluntarily funny many of the idiosyncratic Asylum productions may be – they have their fans and therefore at least a certain right to exist. So-called mockbusters are produced like on an assembly line, i.e. films that are deliberately cheaply produced imitations of well-known Hollywood blockbusters and at best pass as well-intentioned, but rather moderately to poorly implemented parody.
Behind the potential trash pearls is director Glenn Miller, who had his fingers in the pie with previous Asylum works such as "Zoombies" and "Zoombies 2". And in case the main character seen in the trailer from «Aquarium of the Dead» looks familiar, the movie reunites with Vivica A. Fox, who starred as Will Smith's wife Jasmine in Roland Emmerich's Independence Day films! On October 8th - and thus just in time for Halloween - the "Aquarium Of The Dead" will finally open for German guests, either on DVD and Blu-ray or digitally.

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
