Romero’s Dawn of the Dead is Back in 3D — and a Sequel?
The horror fiends over at Fangoria has a couple of very interesting news tidbits concerning George Romero’s original “Dawn of the Dead” movie. The news comes from the mouth of producer Richard Rubinstein, who informs them that they’re planning a re-release of Romero’s original 1979 “Dawn of the Dead” — in 3-D! Yes, 3-D. They [...]

I remember reading about how the filmmakers and producers behind the Filipino horror movie “The Echo” created the film with the express purpose of getting it remade by Hollywood and cashing in on the then-current Asian horror movie craze. Well it’s been four years since the original “Echo” came out, and director Yam Laranas has [...]

“Saw 5: Even Sawier Than Usual!” Or maybe not. Hey, that would have been a better title, at least it would signal that the filmmakers behind the neverending Halloween franchise knows that they’re not doing anything artistic and that at this point it’s all about squeezing as much blood out of the horror freaks as [...]

You’ve seen the bootleg “Twilight” teaser trailer, the officially released “Twilight” teaser trailer, and you’ve seen all the behind-the-scenes featurettes. There were the stills, official and otherwise, and all they did was serve to get you crazy “Twilight” kids more pumped for your movie. But, just in case you still don’t know what all the [...]

Not all that long ago, there was a rumor that to help sell her new horror-comedy movie “Jennifer’s Body”, star Megan Fox would be showing off a little bit more of her body. As in, topless. Or as close to topless as you’ll find, anyway, with those blasted “pasties” covering most of the, as it [...]

Witches, dark museums, and Rome. Oh my! All those things and more in Dario Argento’s “Mother of Tears” (aka “La Terza madre”), starring his daughter Asia Argento and Israeli model Moran Atias as — get ready for it — an ancient evil witch who is resurrected in present-day Rome to wreak havoc. This is the [...]

Supposedly based on a true story, “The Strangers” stars Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman as a couple that is seemingly randomly selected to be victimized by a small group of strangers wearing funky masks, played by Kip Weeks and Gemma Ward, and one more would-be killer. Here’s a clip from the movie that was released [...]

I have to admit, I didn’t think “Twilight” had a whole lot of potential until I saw the teaser trailer (here, if you haven’t seen it yet), which is really, really good. Not least of which because it defied my expectations (The OC with vampires? Not even close.), but also because it actually looks like [...]

Timur Bekmambetov may have broken the hearts of Russian movie fans everywhere when he kinda let the cat out of the bag that he wouldn’t be completing his “Night Watch” trilogy, at least not anytime soon. But cheer up, fans of Russian sci-fi/fantasy/horror, because Universal has just picked up a spec script by Adam Torchia [...]

Word from last week had the first teaser trailer for Catherine Hardwicke’s “Twilight” showing up in front of the Wachowski Brothers’ “Speed Racer”, but apparently that’s either erroneous or been scrapped, or neither, because the teaser has since appeared online on Myspace and it looks pretty good. Even as a non-fan of the book (not [...]

Just got the DVD cover art and specs for George Romero’s latest zombie opus, “Diary of the Dead” in the mail. In the film, students shooting an indie horror movie discover that the world is literally ending around them as zombies rise from the grave to, well, you know, do what zombies do — eat [...]

Yes, that’s right, this is another “Twilight” update. Why? Because people are psyche about this movie, and although I haven’t read the books, or know who is who and what they’re doing and why, it’s hard to ignore all the enthusiasm the kids have for this thing. (And yes, I’m so old now I actually [...]

John Carpenter has been variously labelled a “maverick”, a “horror director”, an “auteur”, even “the last genre filmmaker in America.” Unlike some of his more talkative and self-reflective colleagues like David Cronenberg or George Romero, he has always remained rather tight-lipped when it came to deeper analysis of his motifs, themes and ideas, preferring his [...]

This is interesting. Unless I’m mistaken, a lot of the fanbase for the teen vampire movie “Twilight” (the majority of whom are girls, as far as I can tell) won’t be voluntarily going to see the Wachowski brothers’ “Speed Racer”, so the movie studio putting the first-ever trailer for “Twilight” in front of “Speed Racer” [...]

I haven’t seen Neil Marshall’s “The Descent”, even though I’ve always meant to. I actually have the DVD on my shelf, but everytime I think I should watch it, another, more recent movie always interrupts. Oh well. In any case, from people whose opinion I respect, the first “Descent” was apparently a rollicking bloody good [...]

Wesley Snipes may be going into the klink for some time thanks to some unpaid taxes (you’d think a millionaire movie star wouldn’t be so skittish about paying the taxman, but you’d be wrong), but that doesn’t mean the show shouldn’t go on. With Snipes, the star of the horror/Western “GallowWalker” scheduled to do a [...]

For a country that barely tolerates any movie that does anything other than show Thailand to be “The Land of Smiles”, it’s curious that Thailand is home to one of the goriest horror franchises out of Asia, the “Art of the Devil” movies. The third part in the franchise recently opened to big numbers, outdueling [...]

I’m a fan of Lucky McKee, ever since he burst onto the screen with the oddball, but just fantastic “May” in 2002. But Lucky hasn’t done a whole lot of movies I’ve liked since, including “The Woods” (which I heard was good) and “Roman” (which I tried to watch, but couldn’t get through). His latest [...]

Director Guillermo Del Toro loves his “Hellboy” franchise, but he doesn’t love it that much. Or maybe it’s because he does, in fact, love it that much that he has promised that, should the second movie, “The Golden Army” do well, he would like to return for a third installment, but after that, there should, [...]

I have zero investment in the possibility that Timur Bekmambetov’s upcoming “Wanted” with Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy will be anything other than a mindless popcorn action movie, but for a while there, I did think the man had plenty of talent to spare, and was very interested in what he would do next. I [...]
