Sorority Row (2009) Theatrical Trailer
Took me a while to digest the trailer for SORORITY ROW (2009). While HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW (1983) is my favorite retro slasher, this redux is one of the increasing number of “requels” – remakes that feel more like sequels. At the very least I’ll be watching to play catch-out on a number of confirmed [...]
Exclusive Interview With SORORITY ROW’s Margo Harshman
INTERVIEW: Christian Sellers
How did you first develop a taste for acting and what was your first introduction into the industry?
Now Showing: The Last House On The Left (2009)
The second LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT movie (third, if you rightly count THE VIRGIN SPRING as the first) is now in theaters across the ol’ USA. Worldwide release dates vary (I sure won’t be getting here it down under in anytime soon).
H2 Coming Along Nicely, Bloodily
You’ve got to hand it to Rob Zombie, you really do. Some of you may think dude don’t know how to make a horror movie, but he sure knows how to harness the infinite power of the internets. Whereas other major genre productions would make every effort to keep photos to themselves before dumping them [...]
My Bloody Valentine 3D Part 2?
If you can’t get enough of Todd Farmer in MY BLOODY VALENTINE 3D where he not only wrote the screenplay but beared his sweaty muscled flesh on film (talk about a dedicated guy!), you’ll get a kick out of his Official Site where he maintains a journal that seamlessly mixes industry experiences with family life.
While [...]
Extreme Makeover
Fangoria got some exclusive pics of what FX maestro Gary Tunnicliffe would do if he got the chance to encore on the revamped Pinhead makeup for the upcoming reboot of Hellraiser (to be helmed by The Martyrs director Pascal Laugier).
While it’s definitely an interesting article, I have to say I don’t like his take at [...]
Madman Returns?
Eerie sightings began occurring at horror cons over the past year….Paul Ehlers – the one, the only, Madman Marz – began turning up with his superbly crafted fantasy knives, and a very interesting sign in tow….
The warm, viking-like Ehlers began proclaiming that he was eager to launch a sequel/reboot to his beloved retro slasher Madman, [...]
Burning remake still smoldering?
Within the last year or so, rumblings of a remake of the Weinsteins’ 1981 slasher classic The Burning began to surface, coinciding with both the original film’s release on dvd, and the box office success of the revamped Halloween (also from the Weinsteins). All has been quiet for the time being, but on the eve [...]
My Bloody Valentine: The Remake
As remakes of slasher films go, My Bloody Valentine is the best one so far. To be fair to this film I’m trying to curb my comparisons between it and the original. I’m also keeping this mini review bare bones because I don’t want to spoil the surprises. The audience screamed, begged [...]
Rob Zombie’s H2
The man that said he’d never remake a horror classic and reneged later said he’s never do a sequel. News flash – he’s turned around on that one, too. Because Rob Zombie is such an artist of conviction. Heh – okay, I’m not one for negativity so I’ll balance the preceding snarky comment with an [...]
