With Apocalypse Tape 1990, OTX.LAB launches a new chapter in its experimentation with extreme horror cinema.
Billed as an "extreme splatterfest," the film pays homage to the most ferocious, transgressive, gory, pornographic, and sexually extreme horror cinema of the '70s and '80s, drawing on numerous subgenres including erotic tentacle films, cannibal cinema, zombie movies, and sci-fi splatter.
Paolo Del Fiol, active as a director since 2002, won the "Joe D'Amato Horror Festival" in 2005 with Where Am I?. His recent feature films include Devils Times Two - quando le tenebre escono dal bosco and A Melty Kiss Lost in the Abyss - Un dolce bacio perduto nell'abisso, both already distributed internationally. The original soundtrack is composed by Antony Coia, founder and owner of the extreme labels TetroVideo and Goredrome Pictures, who previously collaborated with Paolo Del Fiol on the films Kokeshi (2013) and Neo Sekigun (2015).
With this project, Paolo Del Fiol creates a work destined to carve out its place in contemporary cinema. The director has crafted a 95-minute horror feature entirely generated through artificial intelligence, built around a complete linear narrative with protagonists, dialogue, and genuine narrative development—producing what is currently being presented as the world's first AI horror film.
Below are the statements from Antony Coia, founder of OTX.LAB, regarding the future of artificial intelligence in extreme horror:
"My deep love for horror cinema, which has haunted my nightmares since the Eighties, guided me toward this choice, controversial for many. OTX.LAB represents a parallel path: we have always supported and will continue to support traditional cinema. From today, alongside this journey, we're also embarking on a new one. I love extreme horror, but today it's impossible to ignore a certain creative stagnation: too often everything appears derivative, predictable, trapped by exhausted formulas. Over the past twenty years, the genre has continued to push toward violence, but rarely toward imagination. Today, artificial intelligence represents a tool capable of reopening doors that have remained closed for too long, allowing us to explore visual and narrative territories that traditional horror cinema struggles to reach. We're still facing an immature, imperfect technology full of limitations, but already concretely usable and equipped with enormous potential. For me, AI must be a creative tool and never a shortcut".
OTX.LAB
OTX.LAB is the neural division of OutroNox, dedicated to research, experimentation, and production of new forms of horror through artificial intelligence.
The project was born with the goal of expanding the expressive possibilities of horror cinema, transcending the production limits of the traditional model. From this perspective, artificial intelligence is used as a creative tool to experiment with new visual and narrative solutions and give shape to imageries that would have been difficult to realize just a few years ago, without proposing itself as an alternative to traditional cinema.
