SCI FI Channel and RHI Entertainment have entered into a network license agreement for a slate of U.S. premiere television movies, the network announced.

The deal includes basic cable rights for five new horror and thriller projects.

Hellhounds - Stars Scott Elrod as a Greek warrior who fights against the demonic hellhounds of Hades in order to rescue his bride (Amanda Brooks) and bring her back to life. Directed by Ricky Schroder

So... Rick Schroder basically combined 2 myths: Orpheus and Hercules.... fun

Rise of the Gargoyle - Stars Eric Balfour as a struggling author in Paris who finds himself face to face with a horrific monster: a live version of the stone gargoyles he’s devoted his life to studying. The film is directed by Bill Corcoran.

Boy there sure are alot of movies about Gargoyles these days...

Alien Western - Set in the 1890s, about monstrous buglike machines from another world that attack anyone who gets in their way

So... Starship Troopers but in the old west?

Carney - Based on the Jersey Devil legend, about a fiendish carnival sideshow attraction that escapes and terrorizes a Depression-era town

This is the one Im most interested in. Particularly as to what the Jersey Devil looks like. TMNT's like the only movie I've seen that has the Jersey Devil so a live action film about him is way kewl.

Sand Serpents - About American combat soldiers in the Afghan desert who must battle both the Taliban and a horde of giant carnivorous wormlike serpents.

Hey! That's a great idea!! Lets remake Tremors and have it in Afghanistan! :roll:

Yay more poorly written, poorly shot, poorly directed films staring a cast of talentless nobodies and featuring bad CGI.

QFT. When I hear the words "A Sci-fi Channel original movie." a shiver runs down my spine. And not one of fear, one of, "Gah, more lousy movies."

Oh well, my sad attempt at a web series will go on thanks to them....hey wait, I should be elated that Sci-fi is doing more bad movies. Hooray!

Has anyone seen Bruce Campbell in Alien Apocalypse tho? That was, well, good isn't the right word, but it was very entertaining. I'd watch it again.

But I'm sure it wouldn't have been the same with "Ash" :lol:

Sci-Fi Originals are great for a laugh. I don't know why anyone takes them seriously. Frankly, I'm getting sick of seeing the old movies with mutated animals and such. I want to see some new stuff, so I'm glad that this is happening. And, if nothing else, this is perfect fodder for Jester's M-Cubed videos.

Speaking of which, Jester, I think you should review Mansquito sometime down the line.
