If you’ve been sitting around grumbling that not enough films star Jean Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren these days, then you are in luck, as Dark Castle and After Dark are about to launch After Dark Action.

After years of the After Dark Originals and 8 Films to Die For horror brands, the new franchise will launch in May with five movies that will open theatrically and On Demand in the US May 11th.

And what are these films?

Well, there’s Transit (“the camping trip was meant to reunite the Sidwell family... it's not. When they are hunted and terrorized by violent bank robbers their very survival will depend on working together”) starring Jim Caviezel.

Van Damme in Dragon Eyes (“in St. Jude, drug dealers and corrupt cops have destroyed an urban neighborhood. But newcomer, Hong, has the fighting skills and moral vision to save this town from itself”).

Philly Kid (“a former NCAA champion wrestler is paroled after 10 years in prison. Now to save a friend's life in a series of cage fights he must agree to do the impossible... lose”) directed by Jason Connery.

Stash House (“Dave and Emma have found the perfect house until they discover a stash of heroin and end up imprisoned in it by violent thugs”) with Dolph Lundgren.

and El Gringo (“a man crossing into Mexico with a satchel of $2,000,000, and a bloody past, finds himself under sudden attack in the sleepy town of El Fronteras") starring Christian Slater.

“Our mission is to create innovative, first-rate entertainment for action lovers everywhere” says After Dark CEO Courtney Solomon. How successful that mission is remains to be seen…
