by Britt Hayes The Human Centipede crawled into theaters last weekend, and with the exposure to a wider audience, I’ve heard opinions left and right on the film. Unfortunately, these aren’t necessarily critiques of the film; instead, what I’m hearing a lot of is, “It was okay, but it wasn’t as fucked up as (insert [...]

by Britt Hayes The South by Southwest (SXSW) festival is held every March in Austin, Texas (aka The Greatest City Ever), showcasing the newest, bestest, and brightest of film, music, and more. This year’s SXSW film festival takes place March 12th-20th, and this week the official site posted the list of films we can look [...]

by Britt Hayes October has been an insane month for horror releases, for obvious reasons. There have been some great titles, and some awesome surprises, but looking at the grand scope for this month’s releases, I find myself underwhelmed. Here we are in our last week, and I think it’s the best yet: Black Devil [...]

by Britt Hayes Besides being in 3D, what else can we expect from the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre when Twisted Pictures put their spin on it? Shock Til You Drop has an exclusive with producer Mark Burg. In the conversation, Burg says, “What we’re going to do with it is bring it to 2010.” Okay, [...]

Fantastic Fest: September 29, Day 6 … I think -Kayley Viteo Today was short and sweet. Interestingly enough, three movies has become a “short and sweet” day to me. Nonetheless, I will admit to being tired, which may explain why this blog is shorter than usual. Rampage: I took the plunge and decided to give [...]

by Britt Hayes From the moment I laid eyes on images from The Human Centipede (First Sequence), I was irrationally fearful. How is this possible? In my film food triangle, horror is the fruit and veggies, meaning that I watch it more than any other genre (hence why I write here for you lovely people). [...]

Fantastic Fest: September 28, Day 5 -Kayley Viteo Well. Day five started out interestingly, what with me having to refresh my browser for twenty minutes to buy my VIP badge for next year’s festival at 10AM this morning. Not sure why they go on sale so fast (this year’s fest isn’t over until Thursday), but [...]

Fantastic Fest: September 27, Day 4 -Kayley Viteo I had to think what number of day this was, and yesterday I thought it was Friday, so everything’s starting to blend together. Today flew by in kind of a haze – I took the morning off to catch up on some sleep and, as much as [...]

Fantastic Fest: September 26, Day 3 -Kayley Viteo My eyes feel like someone slapped me with a handful of sand. I reached my goal and saw five movies today – actually, the most I’ve ever seen in one day – and all of this occurred while running off four hours of sleep. This also happened [...]

FANTASTIC FEST: September 25, Day 2 -Kayley Viteo Ah, reality sunk in a little today. And it kind of hurt. This morning I woke up with a pounding migraine, completely eliminating possibility of going to my first two screenings. I eventually forced myself out, completely unwilling to miss Antichrist and Trick r Treat (which I’ve [...]

by Britt Hayes According the The Hollywood Reporter’s Risky Business blog, David Cronenberg is working on a reworking of some kind of The Fly. He is set to direct, but there’s no word on if he’ll be writing as well (fingers crossed). No other details have been released as of yet, but this is a [...]

by Britt Hayes Bloody Disgusting broke the news yesterday that Philip Seymour Hoffman is not cast in Let Me In. No word if Kodi Smit McPhee and Chloe Grace Moretz are verified casting. Bloody Disgusting has also broken the news today that Let Me In begins filming in November in New Mexico (…what?) and that [...]

by Britt Hayes Just like Friday the 13th had its own documentary release this past year with His Name Was Jason, A Nightmare on Elm Street is getting its own feature documentary titled Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy. Dread Central has the scoop, as their own Andrew Kasch co-created the doc. Never Sleep [...]
