Another comic book, another movie adaptation, and another script being written by Hollywood wunderkind Justin Marks, who is, at the moment, seems to be writing every comic book movie adaptation that David S. Goyer hasn’t gotten his little hands on. Marks’ latest is a movie adaptation of the...

New Images from Zombie Strippers

“Zombie Strippers” have the potential to be a major cult classic on DVD. Well, okay, probably not, but it has the potential to be a good enough time for the undemanding viewer who demands little more than a few gags, buckets of blood, and plenty of T&A from their DVD rental/purchase....

Hellraiser Remake Directors Have Quit?

It looks like the French duo of Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury (pictured, left) have walked off the remake of Clive Barker’s “Hellraiser”, or at least according to horror-movies.ca. Why? No one knows. This has yet to be confirmed, so it’s just a rumor for now. Fans of the...

Amanda Righetti Joins Friday the 13th Remake

You know, I’m glad I never really “got into” a lot of the horror franchises out there, or I would be apoplectic about all the totally unnecessary franchise remakes, reboots, re-imaginings, or what have you that is currently going on. Of all the franchises, I’m only really invested...

New Batch of Hellboy 2: Golden Army Images

To be honest with you, I was surprised that the studio greenlighted Del Toro’s “Hellboy 2: The Golden Army”. As I remembered it, the original wasn’t exactly a beast at the box office, but I guess it must have done gangbusters on DVD, because from everything I’ve seen, the...

Zombies vs. Vampires in Last Blood

The rush by Hollywood to snatch up every comic book property in existence, and some that still hasn’t even been published yet (or will never be, actually), continues unabated. The latest victim — er, I mean, comic book property to get rounded up in hopes of turning it into a movie is the...

Set Pics from Feast 2: Sloppy Seconds

I am a big fan of the first “Feast”, a horror gem born out of the stillborn TV show that was Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s Project: Greenlight. Pretty much every movie critic who gets paid to critique movies hated it, but ask anyone else, and they thought it was a pretty entertaining...

First Look at Twilight – Set Pics

I had no idea who Stephenie Meyer was, or what her series of vampire novels “Twilight” was all about, until — well, Hollywood decided to make a movie about it, and set Catherine Hardwicke to direct (from a script by Melissa Rosenberg). The books seem to have quite a following, if all...

Hopper, Three More for Wes Craven’s 25/8

The biggest hype surrounding Wes Craven’s “25/8″ is that it will, in the man’s own words, unveil a “signature villain, a serial killer who turns up 15 years after his purported death”. Now Craven has his cast, led by young Henry Lee Hopper, son of the kooky Dennis...

Is a Poltergeist Remake/Reboot On the Horizon?

They’re baaaaaaaaack. Is MGM planning to either remake/reboot or do another sequel to the popular horror franchise “Poltergeist”? The better question is, with all the unnecessary remakes of horror films from the ’70s and ’80s, why wouldn’t MGM dust off “Poltergeist”...

Rusty Nail is back, and so is the trailer for “Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead”. This time, Rusty has set his sights on yet another blonde cutie who will, invariably, end up being the Final Girl in his twisted road games. And apparently Rusty has gotten a lot hornier since we last saw him, if the...
