So apparently Ms. Tara Reid has a new horror flick called Incubus, and you won't find it in theaters, on TV, or scattered amongst the DVD stacks. Nope, the only way to enjoy the flick, as explained last month by Ms. Kimmy V., is by downloading it from AOL Red, which I'm told is AOL's teen-centric department -- although someone oughtta tell the Red folks that Tara Reid is as much of a draw to teenagers as Ruth Buzzi is a draw to teenagers.

Directed by first-timer Anya Camilleri and written by also-newcomer Gary Humphreys, Incubus is about a group of teens (one of whom is played by Reid, giggle) who run afoul of a psychopath who has the power to control their dreams. Wow, that's completely unique. I've never heard of a horror series in which a bunch of teenagers are horrified and harrassed by a psycho with dream-powers!

Previously known as Heart Stopper, and then Nightmares and Pulse, Incubus debuts today on the AOL Red network. The price is $3.99 for a rental and $7.99 for a purchase. Interested parties may want to check out the trailer and/or the press release before parting with their cash, but hey, if Incubus is even half as hilarious as Tara Reid's last horror flick, I'd say that's $3.49 VERY well spent!

[Thanks to Movie City News for the tip. It gave me a hearty chuckle indeed.]

On Halloween, the filmmakers behind Incubus, a horror film starring perennial party girl Tara Reid, will attempt to boldly go where few filmmakers have gone before: they will premiere their film online at AOL Red*, AOL's site for teens, as a direct-to-download movie for $7.99. The plot of the film sounds kind of comedic: A medical student, played by Reid (ahem) and her friends, are stranded after a car crash and stalked by a deranged killer (I'll bet you $7.99 right now that Reid's cleavage has a starring role in the film).

Under the deal, AOL will have exclusive rights to distrib the film through their teen site before the film goes to DVD. The deal came about after the film's producer, Adam Shapiro, and his partner, were unable to secure a good deal for theatrical distribution. AOL Red is using the film's premiere as part of the relaunch of their site; Red currently gets about 4 million teen visitors a month as part of its subscription service, but relaunches in the open internet market on October 17 at b-red.com (and no, we have no idea who picked a URL that looks like "bred.com" for a website targeted at teens, but we'll just pretend we didn't notice that).
