All Things HORROR

Well said Orph. Add in the fact that Perkins was so completely comfortable in the part...his performances alone justify watching the sequels.

Have you read the Robert Bloch Psycho novel?

If not you should.

Norman Bates is pretty much portrayed as a middle aged overweight guy, which is obviously different from the younger and better looking Perkins.

Good article, but shame on you R.L. Stine and Elvira...nothing scares you???? Hey Stine, the thought that your 'adult' horror novel will expose you as a horrible author doesn't scare you???? Elvira...really? AGING doesn't scare you??? LIARS!!!!!!!!

And I become more and more convinced that Joe Hill is a clone of Stephen King.

You know what scares me? Never reading another King book. And spiders.

Reckoning, A (2009) | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

There are films that get distribution that viewers MUST see because they are good films. Then, there are films that get distribution and fans wonder how on earth THAT happened because the films are crap. Then there are the films that everyone talks about but which never seem to get their fair time in the distribution sun. A Reckoning, written and directed by AD Barker and starring Dog Soldiers and The Descent actor, Leslie Simpson, is one such film.

A Reckoning, originally titled Straw Man , is basically a one-man show about a man living all alone in an abandoned village, where he goes to school each day to ?teach? the straw children he has created to keep him company and returns to the sty he calls ?home?, sometimes pausing to chat with a straw neighbor or two. Is this man living in a post-apocalyptic world? Is he the ultimate loner, withdrawing from society to live as a half-mad hermit? Or is he completely insane? Many questions arise from this film which are answered, in their way, but many more remain unanswered. Who is the ethereal Woman in White (Axelle Carolyn) who comes to The Man when he seems to be on the brink of giving up. Is she an angel or the embodiment of death? Who are the strange creatures who appear as if in a parade through the village; one dressed all in a red robe with what appears to be a beak protruding from where his face should be, like some medieval plague doctor.

The visuals in A Reckoning are almost a third character, after The Man and the village. Shot during England?s worst winter in decades, the snow adds a beauty to the weirdness going on and Director of Photography Adam Krajcznski captures some truly stunning images from everything from the sky to the seaside to the straw people to The Man and The Woman in White. Keep an eye on Krajcznski ? his talent should take him far.

Then there is the wonder of this film ? watching stage-trained Simpson put on a show that rivals, if not blows away, Sam Rockwell?s performance in Moon. Giving a physically and emotionally shattering performance as The Man, you can only applaud Simpson and what all he must have gone through to portray such a character. He can go from calm, rational-sounding ?teacher? to raving madman in no-time flat. But his performance is not off-putting. You really feel sorry for The Man ? not knowing how he came to be in the circumstances he is in. There are scenes showing him trying to escape to something or someplace better and the sadness as he marks off how far he made it from the village on his latest attempt is palpable. This role SHOULD get Simpson the recognition he truly deserves as an actor, if the film ever gets the release it SO richly deserves.
 
Thomas Mann May Join Fun Size | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

Trick or treating has long been a Halloween tradition, and the beauty of the yearly holiday in general is that it can be hilarious, spooky, and fun all at the same time. That's exactly what Paramount in banking on for its new upcoming look at All Saints Day, Fun Size.

According to The Hollywood Reporter Thomas Mann (It's Kind of a Funny Story) is close to signing onto the Paramount Halloween comedy being described as a cross between Superbad and Adventures in Babysitting that is set on Halloween.

The comedic script, by Colbert Report scribe Max Werner, centers on a sarcastic teenage girl (Justice) who is forced to take her little brother trick-or-treating on Halloween, then loses him and must find him before their mother finds out.
A spring shoot in Minnesota is being planned for what Paramount envisions to be a PG-13 project.
We don't know exactly how much horror will be making it in with the comedy just yet so this may be the last you hear of the movie around these parts, but we'll keep our ears to the ground for you.
 
Fading of the Cries Gets Its Release Date | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66WvMkryc2A&feature=related"]YouTube - Fading of the Cries Official Main Trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=[/nomedia]

This looks like something far removed from the average indie film; boasting over 1,100 effects shots and genre mainstay Brad Douriff. Quite frankly, I'm also kind of a fan of Thomas Ian Nicholas. No I'm not kidding, he entertains me.

Fading of the Cries stars Brad Dourif, Thomas Ian Nicholas, Mackenzie Rosman, Hallee Hirsch, Julia Whelan, Jessica Morris, Lateef Crowder, Elaine Hendrix and Jordan Matthews; and is written & directed by Brian A. Metcalf (making his debut), with Karoline Kautz, Thomas Ian Nicholas and Brian A. Metcalf serve as producers.

Synopsis
A young man armed with a deadly sword, saves a teenage girl named Sarah from a malevolent evil that has begun plaguing a small farmland town, while in search of an ancient necklace that had belonged to Sarah?s Uncle. The two set out to get to Sarah's home safely, running through streets, fields, churches and underground tunnels, while being pursued by hordes of demonic creatures.


Kinda looks like ass, hope Dourif got paid for the 2 or 3 days he was on set.
 
HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET Starring Jennifer Lawrence Set for February 3, 2012

Relativity Media has set Mark Tonderai?s thriller House at the End of the Street for February 3, 2012. The film stars Jennifer Lawrence as a teenager who moves into a new home with her mother (Elisabeth Shue), but then discovers that their home is next door to the site of a double murder. She makes friends with the massacre?s sole survivor (Max Thieriot). If it turns out he was the person responsible for the double murder, I?ll be very disappointed.
