The Making of The Wolfman

A few days ago Variety reported (you kind of have to mine for it in the article) that veteran editors Mark Goldblatt and Walter Murch were being brought in to recut The Wolfman, even though the release date is only a few months away, on February 12, 2010. This could be a very bad thing for the film,...

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009) Movie Review

The midnight showing was sold out and electricity rocketed through the air from the excitement. It was as if a viewer was attending a midnight mass for a Goth Christmas, and when everyone got home, Edward and Jacob would have visited and left presents under the posters bearing their likeness. BOOYAH!!...

Underworld 4 Gets a Writer, But Still Lacks a British-Accented Heroine Babe

With a fourth “Underworld” entry already greenlit by the studio, the biggest question on everyone’s mind (or at least, everyone who thinks werewolves and vampires fighting in a gothic setting with dark-blue scenery is awesome, anyway) is whether either of the franchise’s two British...

Brittany Murphy Gets a Call From the Past. The Deadly Past!

Former “8 Mile” star Brittany Murphy has been cast as the female lead in Matthew Parkhill’s horror/thriller “The Caller”, the premise of which sounds a tad sci-fi to me, or at least, a little “Twilight Zone”-ish. She joins a cast that already includes “True...

New Daybreakers Quad Poster Asks you to Side with the Dude with the Crossbow

If the last “Daybreakers” poster wasn’t “Matrix”-y looking enough for you, the new quad poster from across the pond tries to re-enforce the point home. And oh yeah, it also apparently has a little dash of “28 Days Later” in it, although from what I’ve seen,...

New Daybreakers PSA is Surprisingly Awesome

Indie filmmaking duo Michael and Peter Spierig’s upcoming vampire saga “Daybreakers” looks to be a nice departure from the romantic bloodsucker angle we’ve forced to endure as of late. I, for one, don’t mind the picture’s “Equilibrium” meets “The...

Courteney Cox Knows Almost as Much about Scream 4 as We Do

Or perhaps even less? At least, that’s the impression she gives (possibly on purpose) to the AP, who has a short article on Cox and the upcoming “Scream 4″, and for some reason insists on announcing all the actor’s age. Does that, um, really matter? I guess it does to the AP....

Yam Laranas’ Patient X Attacks with a Trailer and Poster

Filipino director Yam Laranas did such a bang-up good job with his 2004 horror movie “Sigaw”, that he repeated the process on 2008’s “The Echo”, an English-language remake of “Sigaw” that went straight to DVD. Laranas is back with a new horror movie called “Patient...

Kevin Williamson to Indulge in More Extramarital Sex and Serial Killing

Let’s face it, after Kevin Williamson willingly came back to do not one, not two, but three new “Scream” movies, it’s beyond reason to expect the guy to go back to original material. So when he announces to MTV that he plans to remake Curstin Hanson’s 1987 movie “The...

Liam Neeson Admires Christina Ricci in After.Life Poster

First official poster for Liam Neeson and Christina Ricci’s “After.Life”. Written and directed by Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo, the film stars Ricci as a young woman caught between life and death, and Liam Neeson as the funeral director who appears to have the gift of transitioning the...

Korean Trailer for Anthony DiBlasi’s Clive Barker Adaptation Dread

As a long-time Clive Baker fan, I’ve been anxiously awaiting for Anthony DiBlasi’s upcoming horror outing “Dread” to make an appearance in my neck of the woods. However, recent adaptations of Barker’s work have been somewhat of a challenge; “Midnight Meat Train,”...

Simple Yet Effective Poster for Matt Reeves’ Let the Right One In Remake

Am I excited that the guy responsible for “Cloverfield” is helming the remake of Tomas Alfredson’s “Let the Right One In?” Not really. I suppose, if you’re illiterate or have something against Swedish cinema, the Americanized version is a good thing, as it allows you...

The St. Francisville Experiment (2000) Movie Review

As with any massively profitable film, “The Blair Witch Project” quickly became the foster parent to a legion of parodies and imitations trying to cash in on the hype. It didn’t matter that the franchise quickly had its’ wings cut and was buried in a shallow grave under tons of...

Sky Tentacle Monsters Attack in Kaare Andrews’ Altitude

Tentacle monster in the clouds? Yeah, that seems to be the premise of “Altitude”, a new creature feature/horror movie from Kaare Andrews. And before you say I’m giving away any spoilers, I’m not — the tentacled monster is clearly shown in the trailer and in the poster that...

Saw 7 Will Get Even Saw-ier — IN 3D!!!!!!

Okay, the extra exclamation points aren’t exactly necessary, and it doesn’t mean I was shaking in my boxers when I typed it. This is expected. The horror genre is like this — when something works (i.e. makes money) everyone follows suit like monkeys. Hence, everything is now being shot...

Tommy Wirkola’s Hansel and Gretel Gets a Writer

As a fan of director Tommy Wirkola’s Nazi zombie opus “Dead Snow,” I’m super jazzed about the filmmaker’s upcoming Stateside project “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters,” a film that’s being produced for Will Ferrell’s Gary Sanchez Productions. According...

Mad Men Writer Stakes a Claim to Fright Night Remake

Now before you get your panties into a bunch and start decrying a writer from a show about chain smoking ad execs in the ’60s writing a horror-comedy vampire reboot, consider this: before she landed on the award-winning “Mad Men” on AMC as writer/producer, Marti Noxon was a writer on...

Because You Need It: The New Puppet Master Teaser Has Arrived!

Back in the day, I was a Full Moon Entertainment fanatic. The creepy, strange-smelling video store near my childhood home always carried the latest FM flicks, and I was always one of the first to check them out. It’s probably the reason why I’m still addicted to Charles Band movies, despite...

Plot Details for the Howling Remake Reveals Werewolves in High School

Apparently the Powers That Be (aka the guys who own the rights to the franchise) have decided to reboot “The Howling”, a series of werewolf movies from the ’80s that, like all ’80s horror movie franchises, spawned a series of wholly unnecessary (and, presumably, increasingly shitty)...
