‘John Dies At The End’ Trailer

Don Coscarelli has never been what one would call a prolific director (his last film was 2002’s “Bubba Ho-Tep,” though he directed the “Masters of Horror” episode, “Incident On and Off A Mountain Road” in 2005) but he’s at least an interesting one.  His films tend to be a bit uneven, but strange enough to […]

‘The Divide’ Trailer

I actually saw the trailer for Xavier Gans’s “The Divide” sometime in 2011, though it’s nice to see it’s finally coming out.  Despite some cataclysmic event that brings a group of strangers together, it seems that their greatest enemy is themselves.

‘Tucker And Dale vs Evil’ Streaming

Tucker & Dale vs Evil, currently streaming on Netflix, is a horror/comedy with more levels than similar films.  It can be taken as a cautionary tale about the perils of prejudging people, or if that goes over your head, then perhaps a story about the perils of making hair-trigger assumptions. Or you can take it […]

Underworld: Awakening Trailer

I don’t think that I posted this, so here goes.  I do so not because I expect the film to be that good–I don’t–but because I dig the genre.  That being said, how is it that Selene was able to be captured by humans?  If you take a look at the trailer, she makes short […]

Prometheus Teaser Trailer

Now this is how to cut a trailer!  I know virtually nothing about Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus,” other than it makes use of the “Space Jockey” from the Alien films, and contains no xenomorphs.  That being said, the trailer makes it seem like there’s a “Ghosts Of Mars” vibe going on. By which I mean that […]

Insidious

I recall former Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders saying, in reference to abortion, that “We must stop our love affair with the fetus.” I feel the same way about horror films (as well as abortion, but that’s another matter) because too many of them treat children as if they’re weak, and far more fragile than they […]

‘Bloodrayne: The Third Reich’

When I heard that Uwe Boll is considered by many to be one of the worse directors ever (though he deserves credit for an ability to somehow secure funding, seemingly despite himself) I didn’t believe because, while hyperbole isn’t exactly unknown among bloggers, I wanted to give him a chance. Then I saw “Alone In […]

‘Pontypool’ Is Streaming On Netflix!

The first video is for Kate Bush’s “Experiment IV.”  The high-concept song revolves around the idea of a military experiment that creates a sound that–literally–possesses the power to kill. As an aside, the video has a scene that appears to be a homage to the scene from “Raiders Of The Lost Ark,” when the ark […]

John Carpenter’s ‘The Ward’ Is Streaming!

Edited 10/26/11 For a while Netflix really bothered me.  First there was the price increase, which I understand the necessity of, though it was handled really, really badly.  Then there was the whole Quikster debacle, and recently not only has the company lost somewhere around 800,000 viewers in the United States, but the stock price […]
