I Spit On Your Grave (2010) Fantastic Fest 2010 Directed by: Steven R. Monroe Starring: Sarah Butler, Chad Lindberg, Daniel Franzese, Jeff Branson, Rodney Eastman Review by:Britt Hayes Every once in a while, a film comes along that will rattle you furiously. If you’re lucky, the same film may reward you for enduring the atrocities [...]

by Ben Bussey Okay, try to contain yourselves now… it’s been announced by Entertainment Weekly that Dimension Films is starting development on a sequel to Piranha 3-D. And… yeah, funnily enough, that’s pretty much all we know at this point. Now this is some fascinating news in many respects. Piranha’s opening weekend only earned them $10 million/6th place at [...]

by Britt Hayes Initially, I wasn’t going to do a write up on this. Several writer friends of mine have already tackled the topic, including John Gholson over at HorrorSquad and Scott Weinberg at Cinematical, and it seems redundant to echo the sentiment here. That said, I’d be remiss if I didn’t attempt to valiantly [...]

by Ben Bussey The plot thickens on Craig Gillespie’s Fright Night remake. Not so long ago we learned that Anton Yelchin will be taking the pivotal role of Charley Brewster, the potentially paranoid adolescent who believes his new next door neighbour to be the undead. This was inspiring news. Even more inspiring is today’s news on who will be filling the [...]

by Britt Hayes Thanks to the awesome Drew McWeeny of HitFix for sending this my way since our e-mail from Anchor Bay somehow got lost. I’ll blame the interweb trolls. Like dryer trolls, only more evil. Anyway. I interviewed the four leads of director Steven Monroe’s remake of I Spit On Your Grave over the [...]

Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Directed by: Samuel Bayer Studio: Platinum Dunes Starring: Jackie Earle Haley, Rooney Mara, Kyle Gallner, Katie Cassidy, Thomas Dekker Review by: Dustin Hall Like so many readers, I’m sure, who come to this site, Freddy Krueger is, for me, an icon. As Superman has become an icon of heroism and Americana, [...]

by Ben Bussey The old slasher supervillians just can’t get a break at the moment, it seems. First Patrick Lussier’s Halloween 3-D fails to get beyond the drawing board, and now it’s come to light that the sequel to Platinum Dunes’ Friday the 13th reboot has also been shelved. And, as is rapidly becoming the norm, [...]

by Britt Hayes I hope everyone has their tickets because Texas Frightmare Weekend is only a few weeks away. We’ve just gotten word that Anchor Bay will be on hand to show some footage from director Steven Monroe’s remake of I Spit On Your Grave. In addition to Monroe, stars Sarah Butler, Chad Lindberg, and [...]

by Britt Hayes Anchor Bay has acquired Cine Tel Film’s remake of I Spit on Your Grave (aka Day of the Woman). You’d think with Anchor Bay’s acquisition we’d only get a DTV release, but that’s not so. Anchor Bay plans on releasing the film in the US, UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. The [...]

by Britt Hayes For years there has been discussion of a possible prequel or sequel to John Carpenter’s The Thing. The Thing was itself a remake of the 1951 film, The Thing From Another World, which was in turn based on a novella by John W. Campbell Jr., titled Who Goes There? For a while [...]

by Britt Hayes Oh hey, look! There’s another remake! And guess what, you guys?!?! It’s going to be in 3-D! While the news of yet another remake should come as no surprise (and if it does, you have more optimism left in your precious head than I), a remake being done in 3-D….well, that’s not [...]

by Britt Hayes Rob Zombie recently took to his Twitter to share with the public, in 140 characters or less, what he’s up to: “Just finished doing the director’s commentary for the DVD of Halloween 2. Love the new cut. This is the real film.” He also previously mentioned that this version is “very different” [...]

by Britt Hayes It’s been 30 years since Phantasm first hit theater screens and introduced the Tall Man to the movie-going public in 1979. The classic film tells the tale of a young boy and his friends who must fight the evil, grave-robbing Tall Man, a mysterious foe armed to the teeth with terrifying weaponry. [...]

by Britt Hayes From Bloody-Disgusting comes word that MGM has put their Poltergeist remake on hold. Naturally, this shouldn’t have an effect on most fans, since I can’t think of too many people who actually want to see this remake happen. The film was originally set to release November 24, 2010, but now MGM says [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
