More

April 28, 2009

If Reddit is good for anything, it’s random videos. Our newest entry is a short claymation film called “More” by Mark Osborne. It’s depressing and absolutely brilliant. The song is “Elegia” by New Order, and it complements the video perfectly. Enjoy.

Germans do everything better

On the heels of the gory work safety video is a bunch of German chicks ripping off limbs and biting off ears for lingerie.

Is it weird that I’m a little turned on?

AntiChrist

Pseudo-pornographic horror starring one of the ugliest actors in the history of cinema by one of the coolest directors alive, Lars von Trier. To say I’m excited is an understatement. For those unfamiliar with von trier, check out Dancer in the Dark. Not only will the ending make you depressed as Hell, but you’ll rethink [...]

God bless Reddit.

Review: Martyrs

Director: Pascal Laugier
Year: 2008
Country: France
I’ve been doing a bit of research for a chapter in the book I will probably never write on the “New Wave of French Horror,” the foreign bastard cousin of torture porn that seems to have taken the world of horror by storm. Ostensibly a subset of the “New French Extremity” [...]

sublime

Director: Tony Krantz
Year: 2007
Country: USA
Horror is a delicate genre and perhaps the most difficult to execute properly with any sort of consistency. All too often the genre lapses into self-parody, and the intent of the filmmaker is lost. This can occur through a variety of reasons; some more common than others, especially given the subjective [...]

This review might contain some minor spoilers.
I honestly don’t know where to start with this review. I was going to start off with a Uwe Boll joke, but that would be unfair to Uwe Boll. At least he tries. Then I was going bring into question the credentials of the writer [...]

TIME: Zombies are the new vampires…?

April 13, 2009

I suppose with the recent passing of Easter and all things zombie Jesus, an article on the walking dead is appropriate.
If there’s a social hierarchy among monsters, zombies are not at the top of the list. They may not even be on the list. They’re not cool like werewolves. There’s no Warren Zevon song [...]

Review: Stuck

stuckposter07

Director: Stuart Gordon
Year: 2007
Country: USA
Stuart Gordon is an adaptation whore. Though he has relegated his career primarily to the absolute bastardization of Lovecraft’s greatest works, he has branched out and directed adaptations of other novels; most of it managed to be total crap, but that’s beside the point. Most recently, however, he borrowed from real [...]

“I wrapped a movie called ‘Zombieland,’ in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character,” Harrelson said in a statement issued Friday by his publicist.
“With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie,” he [...]
