MTV Brings Horror Home with “Home is Where the Horror Is”

February 14, 2010

MTV-Logo
Last night (2/13) at 10 PM, MTV kicked off a seven week movie series, affectionately referred to as “Home is Where the Horror Is,” with the dreadful Paris Hilton vehicle House of Wax. Although kicking off with a terrible remake starring a chlamydia-infested socialite who got famous for being a chlamydia-infested socialite, four of [...]

Animated Zombie Flick “A.D.” Set to Rape Your Face With Awesome

February 3, 2010

A.D. – Screenshot

Whether you want to admit it or not, zombie movies are becoming passe. Animated zombies films, however, are still pretty cool. If you need evidence of this, scoot on over to Zombie Info for a bunch of hi-res images and an exclusive interview with the creators, who hope to turn the awesome trailer [...]

Sold on the “The Signal”

January 25, 2010

This trailer sold me completely on The Signal, which currently stands as one of my favorite horror films. It’s a damn shame it had be taken down due to the unauthorized use of Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day,” covered in by Jon Thomas Hall in a delightfully appropriate rock styling. The Signal also made me realize [...]

Why am I Writing About “My Super Psycho Sweet 16″?

October 20, 2009

Sadly, this film is not a documentary detailing the unfortunate demise of a vapid whore who cries when her daddy doesn’t get her the right car for her birthday, but instead an original made-for-MTV horror flick airing this Friday at 10 PM.
To get straight to the point, I do not think this movie will be [...]

Trailer for the “Crazies” remake is a steaming pile of….

October 4, 2009

A lot of people have been saying good things about the trailer to Romero’s classic flick The Crazies. I don’t see it. The egregious use of Gary Jules’ cover of “Mad World” is grossly inappropriate for the tone trying to be conveyed throughout the film. I do understand why they used the song – contrasting [...]

Jennifer’s Lack of Talent

September 3, 2009

The hullabaloo surrounding Jennifer’s Body is predicated upon two factors:
1. The success of Diablo Cody’s screenwriting debut Juno
and
2. Megan Fox

The first one is more or less a moot point. I enjoyed Juno the first time I saw it, then all subsequent viewings rendered me incapable of appreciating its zany dialogue, unbelievable characters and bizarre psuedo-pedophiliac [...]

Trailer: Humains

July 10, 2009

I know my love for French horror is, oh, a little extreme, but the trailer for Humains, directed by Jacques-Olivier Molon and Pierre-Olivier Thevenin looks pretty solid. The plot is as follows, thanks to imdb and my inability to sum up movies without sounding retarded:
A team of several researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to [...]

Daybreakers trailer

June 26, 2009

The trailer for Daybreakers has hit the interblags, and while I’m not expecting much, it does look like a fun fuckin’ movie, on par with Doomsday but not retarded or completely unoriginal.

And is that…Placebo playing over the end of the trailer? Awful, awful choice.
For fun racial musings, check out Horror’s Not Dead’s piece on [...]

The Box promises more of the same, and The Saturn Awards are just plain ridiculous.

June 25, 2009

Thebox2009posterteaser
Based on the Richard Matheson short story “Button, Button,” which was adapted into a Twilight Zone episode, The Box synopsis belies the Saw-like qualities found in the trailer. B-D mentions a particular grievance with the use of the Saw theme, though I find this less of an annoyance than the fact that the movies bares [...]

Spierig Bros. next film – Daybreakers

June 22, 2009

Undead, the the zombie-alien mashup from first time writing/directing team the Spierig Brothers, was to me a monumental disappointment. What started as a hilarious and bloody good zombie movie eventually degraded into a near-nonsensical alien flick that sucked all the entertainment out of what could have been a solid zombie film.
Despite this, I am looking [...]
