As his father continues to attempt to rejuvenate his seemingly never-ending “Dead” series, Cameron Romero follows up his debut “The Screening” with another slice of familiar horror in “Staunton Hill”. Although this may sound a little cynical, the film really is pretty basic stuff, being a...

“Knife Edge” sees the return to the horror genre of director Anthony Hickox, who back in the late 1980s and early 1990s turned out a string of popular, offbeat favourites including “Waxwork”, its sequel “Lost in Time”, and “Sundown: the Vampire in Retreat”, the latter two featuring the...

Official Plot Synopsis for the 30 Days of Night Sequel
We already told you who would be starring in the “30 Days of Night” sequel “Dark Days”, and we assumed the plot would pretty much follow that of the original comic book the sequel is named after. Apparently that might not be the case, according to this THR article, which regurgitates...

Harry Potter + Twilight = Wicked?
The last time I thought Hollywood had found the perfect blending of two popular teen franchises, “Harry Potter” and “Twilight”, it was “House of Night”, a series of young adult novels by by P.C. and Kristin Cast. There hasn’t been a whole lot of movement on that...

Blood Soaked Trailer For Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl
Call me crazy if it makes you sleep better at night, but I simply cannot get enough of this new wave of extreme Japanese cinema that is currently making the rounds as of late. “Tokyo Gore Police” and “The Machine Girl” are incredible films, mostly because they pack more arterial...

7eventy 5ive (aka Dead Tone, 2007) Movie Review
“Se7en”, “s1m0ne”, “Thr3e”, “Thir13n Ghosts”, and now “7eventy 5ive”. All movies bafflingly fond of placing needless numbers in place of letters in their titles. A moot point yes, but an important one, for apart from “Se7en” (also...

Who’s Ready For A Scary Movie Reboot? That’s What I Thought.
As far as I can tell, the only people — and I use that term loosely — who continue to watch the “Scary Movie” franchise are horny teenagers, corrupt government officials, and those with exceptionally bad taste in film. Regardless of what my elitist opinion may be, somebody out...

Subtitled Trailer For Danny Pang’s Upcoming Seven 2 One
Hong Kong director Danny Pang’s cinematic output is certainly a mixed bag. Sometimes he can knock one out of the proverbial park — 2006’s “Re-cycle” immediately springs to mind — though this is usually followed up with something along the lines of “The Eye 10″...

Wes Craven May Return to Direct Scream 4
I don’t know whether the world is ready for another Scream film. They were timely back when the slasher/horror genre was tired enough to make fun of but still coherent. Now, even the Scary Movie franchise (which, by the way, might be receiving a reboot, however that would work) doesn’t even...

Plot Synopsis and Images from John Carpenter’s The Ward
Will John Carpenter’s “The Ward” finally be the movie that brings the horror master back to prominence, or just another middling horror movie with the name “John Carpenter” attached to it? Who knows, but STYD has uncovered the full plot synopsis and poster for the movie....

News Bits: The Tourist, Wanted Sequel, The Living
After lots of fits and starts, and a star or two falling by the wayside, Spyglass is getting some traction on their “The Tourist”, a remake of the French film “Anthony Zimmer”. Besides swapping Angelina Jolie for Charlize Theron (an upgrade, in my opinion), the studio now has...

Mike Mitchell’s Monster Squad Is Not A Remake
When I first read the headline today that Mike “Sky High” Mitchell was selected to direct the upcoming Warner Bros. project “Monster Squad,” my initial reaction was one of confusion and outright agitation. Misguided nerd rage eventually immediately set in, and I quickly began...
