New Daybreakers Trailer

July 2nd 2009 01:53
Daybreakers Poster


Ethan Hawke, Sam Neill and Willem Dafoe star in a damn cool looking new vampire flick set in a world where pretty much everyone is a vampire. With humans being farmed for blood, and the supply dwindling, they need to come up with a new food source or else...

A fine looking trailer. Hopefully the movie delivers. It's directed by the Spierig brothers who brought us the decent low-budget Undead a few years back. It'll be interesting to see what they do with some money and a big name cast.

New Doghouse Trailer

Doghouse Poster


Jake West's new horror-comedy Doghouse hits UK theaters June 12th and so far it looks like it's going to be a blast.

No official word on a US release, but it seems likely that it will at least show up on DVD in the (hopefully) not-too-distant future.

I'm really looking forward to this. Great production quality, solid actors and what appears to be tons of comedy and gore.

If you're in the UK and manage to see this one, let me know what you thought.

Gory New Halloween 2 Pics

June 12th 2009 03:29


Rob Zombie posted a few behind-the-scenes effects shots from his upcoming H2 film. Some really nice effects work by Wayne Toth on this one.

Zombie is promising "more bloody Fxs than 1000 Corpses, Devil's Reject and the first Halloween combined."

From the look of these pics he may not be exaggerating.

Megan Fox Buffy Rumor Quashed

Megan Fox
According to the always reliable folks at BloodyDisgusting the rumored casting of Megan Fox in the upcoming Buffy film is completely false.

They called the producers yesterday and confirmed that they are not in talks with Fox to appear in the film. Check out the BD story here.

The original [REC] was a ton of white-knuckled fun (as was the decent US remake Quarantine). Although the sequel looks quite similar it appears they have upped the ante in terms of number of infected and the fire-power to fight them.

I agree. Nice to see something a little different too. We'll see what happens...

Well since it doesn't look like she will - who do you think would be a good Buffy?

It's not going to be easy to replace SMG, that's for sure.

Not easy to pick just five, but here goes...

1. The Thing (Carpenter)
2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Hooper)
3. Dawn of the Dead (Romero)
4. The Exorcist
5. Braindead (Dead Alive)

FX: The Thing (Carpenter/Bottin)
Monsters
Gorehound

Great post! Looking forward to the results.

Yeah, me too.

Oh well - was fun to think about. And it is pretty early in the new Buffy project (not even sure they have a script yet) so anything can happen...

Great pick! I've always liked this film and I don't think it's ever really gotten its due.

Is it a masterpiece? Hell no. It's just a damn good monster movie that delivers exactly what it promises. Goofy dialog, a big nasty critter to fight and just enough gore to keep it interesting. Fun stuff.

I think it's time to re-screen this one myself...

Thanks for the review!

on Megan Fox as Buffy?

As rumors go it's a fun one for sure. Of course she's probably the most in-demand actress in her age range at the moment - so her plate is most likely pretty full.

Hopefully she's a Buffy fan...

Thanks for the encouraging news about her comedic potential - you've got me sold!

I didn't actually hate this one. It was pretty much exactly what the ads promised. Not that they promised much.

Typical dumb Statham film. Just fun enough to hold my attention for 90 minutes.

What I don't understand with many of these remakes is how they can totally miss the social satire of the originals. Rollerball has to be the biggest offender here - not only missing the point of the original - but actually becoming exactly the kind of junk "entertainment" that the Jewison version was warning against. Sad.

This movie makes me sad - the novel was actually damn good. It just didn't translate to film for whatever reason.

The only good thing about the movie is the poster - it makes me want to see the movie again even though I know it will still suck.

I'm a sucker for marketing. Sad, I know.

And you are wise to avoid Get Carter and The Italian Job...I wish I had those hours of my life back. Ugh.

I agree - although I really did like Evil Dead 2.

As for the PG-13 rating - yeah, it's damn near impossible to make a decent horror film with that rating; at least the kind that I like. I suppose some ghost-stories like The Changeling might have been a PG-13, but they're not really my thing.

The only one I think of that I really enjoyed, aside from the two you mentioned, was Gremlins. But, that said, it would have been much better with the R-rating the script intended.

Wow. Thanks for saving me an hour and a half of my life.

I was ready to watch this based on Henricksen's appearance. Glad I read this first. Very disappointing.

Nice review. Thanks!
