What is it about taking away, as opposed to adding, features to a person’s face that makes it look so creepy? A new movie from Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, the director of “28 Weeks Later” looks like it’s going to answer that question, while also seeking the answer to what really scares us.

“Paranorman” looks like a lot of fun. If I wasn’t already convinced that I wanted to see the movie, the dial tone scene toward the end really sold it for me. There’s also the title, which is really, really cool.
James Wan‘s “Insidious” earned almost $100 million worldwide, while Oren Peli‘s Paranormal Activity films combined earned almost $600 million dollars. Big deal, you might say–and it is–till you realize that “Insidious” cost only $1.5 million to make, while the Paranormal Activity films COMBINED cost just over $8 million. That’s a lot of return for minimal […]
Those of you that read Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead,” know who ‘The Governor’ is (and I don’t mean Arnold Schwarzenegger), and with the Third season of the zombie series he will be played by David Morrissey. He’s the second British actor in the cast, the first being Andrew Lincoln, who plays Sheriff Rick Grimes.
The second episode of the bifurcated Second season of AMC’s “The Walking Dead” aired last night, and it’s quite possibly the best episode so far. “Triggerfinger” expands upon a theme not unique to, though more clearly evident in the prior episode, “Nebraska,” that, as dangerous a threat as the re-emergent dead are, they don’t hold […]
“If you value your very soul (or at least your hard-earned cash) see “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” only from the relative safety of cable, Netflix or Redbox (when it’s available).” I wanted to like Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor’s “Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance” because I thought that Mark Steven Johnson’s original film wasn’t […]
“Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter” is very high concept, though Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Day Watch, Wanted) is a director that I don’t find particularly interesting–which is a bit odd because I tend to enjoy the subject matter that he tends to make movies about–so I am not quite sure how I feel about this film. […]
There’s talk about a sequel, starring Will Smith, to Francis Lawrence’s version of Richard Matheson’s story, “I Am Legend,” which is an interesting since Smith’s character dies at the end of the film. Now, if the story takes place prior to “I Am Legend,” I could see the logic, though logic would dictate that Will Smith […]
Yesterday’s return of “The Walking Dead” to AMC made cable ratings history, earning more than 7 million viewers. That being said, I am a bit torn. While I am glad to hear of it’s success–Heck, any show with zombies on a consistent basis I am glad to know is successful–though I still can’t quite get […]
Here’s the trailer for the latest film in the Resident Evil Saga, (sorta) based on the Capcom videogame. This is not something that I would pay to see, because I have seen the prior entry, and don’t quite see the point of these films any longer. While parts on an ongoing series, they don’t feel […]
