Official Twilight Cast Picture

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...

The Cinema of John Carpenter: The Technique of Terror (2004) Book Review

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...

Twilight Trailer May Show in Front of Speed Racer

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...

More Returnees for The Descent 2

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...

Movie Trailer: Wesley Snipes’ GallowWalker

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...

Thai Gore-Horror Art of the Devil to be Remade

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...

Magnolia Picks up Lucky McKee’s Red

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...

Del Toro: Hellboy 3 and No More

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...

Timur Bekmambetov: Dusk Watch on Hold

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...

Lost Boys 2: The Tribe DVD Cover

A lot of people were pretty excited about a sequel to “The Lost Boys” (for whatever reason; I thought the original was mildly interesting, but far from great), but after the trailers were released — well, I think a lot of that excitement went out the window. But for those of you still...

A Look at Matthew Hope’s The Vanguard

I’ve been reading about Matthew Hope’s “The Vanguard”, the latest horror movie out of the UK for some time now, with a lot of the horror sites seeming to really dig it. After seeing the trailer for the film (below), I have to admit that yeah, this thing looks like it has promise,...

Twilight: Behind-the-Scenes Featurette

Here’s another behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming teen vampire/werewolves/supernatural movie “Twilight”. This was originally run by MTV, but some clever fellow with YouTube know-how managed to rip it and put it on YouTube for all to see. God Bless those YouTube kids. Catherine Hardwicke...

Hollywood has remade horror movies from Asia about pretty much anything and everything, including videotapes, cellphones, and houses, so why not mirrors? That’s the haunted object in the upcoming Alexandre Aja horror movie “Mirrors”, which is based on the 2003 South Korean horror movie...

Wes Craven Replaces 25/8 Lead

Usually the lead in a teen horror movie has to wait until the very end to get killed off, if he’s killed off at all, but an illness has done Henry Lee Hopper in. Hopper, son of Dennis and the would-be star of Wes Craven’s new horror movie “25/8″, was replaced by actor Max Thieriot...

The Cook (2008) Movie Review

I was taught, in school, that when you write a journalistic article that you never write in the first person. I just broke that rule. That’s going to be the first of many in this brief and very caustic review for The Cook – Unrated, produced by The Cook Movie, LLC and Red Gourmet Productions...
