All Things HORROR

Stupid question (there aren't any stupid questions, just stupid people) since it might had already been mentioned here, did anybody see Carpenter's The Ward? And if so is it worth watching?

Hahaha! I think Amber Heard is cute though. I can't wait for The Rum Diary!

Another Orphy derailment? :facepalm:


Scroll back a few...there are dvd release dates and some 'wanted to like it but couldn't' reviews. BTW Amber Heard don't like boys...so that is either a plus or a minus(I vote plus). You should see Drive Angry. :yo:
 

Holy crap Adgy...you should have quoted this

I love that attitude. Now, you’ve got a new film in the works; tell me about The Benders.
Go online and look up the Benders — holy God! They were a family of German immigrants in the 1870s who murdered people along the road, travelers, and took all their money, their horses, their gold teeth, slit their throats, hit them over the head, kept them under the house, and buried them. It’s just incredible. [The script] has this amazing female character who’s the come-on, she was out there sexually luring them in there, and nobody knows what happened to the Benders. There are a lot of theories and we use one in the story. We’re working on it now, and it could be great. We’re in the scripting process. Could be good.

Rob Zombie just came all over hisself reading that synopsis. Course he would set it in the 1970's
 
Foreign Objects: We Are the Night (Germany) | Film School Rejects

There are few genre character-types as tired and overdone as the vampire. They?re rarely scary, usually uninteresting, and often terribly predictable. They?ve become so mundane and commonplace that any attempt to shake up the norm automatically raises a film?s value and may help offset other issues. 30 Days Of Night for example trades the sexy, vampiric allure for some truly effective and horrific monsters. Daybreakers adds a unique, sci-fi twist that made vamps the normal citizens and humans the ones hiding in the dark. Let the Right One In is a coming of age tale that happens to feature a vampire. We Are the Night isn?t quite up to the standards of that Swedish chiller, but it?s definitely as good or better than the other two.

Keep reading good reviews on this.

Anchor Bay Brings Home Bereavement | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

The highly-anticipated prequel to the 2005 cult hit Malevolence, Bereavement stars Michael Biehn (Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, The Rock, Tombstone), John Savage (The Deer Hunter, The Godfather Part III, Hair, The Thin Red Line, Do The Right Thing), Alexandra Daddario (Hall Pass, Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, ?White Collar?), and Brett Rickaby (The Crazies, The Assassination of Richard Nixon).

In 1989, six-year-old Martin Bristol (Spencer List) was kidnapped from his backyard swing in Minersville, PA. Graham Sutter (Rickaby), a psychotic recluse, kept Martin imprisoned on his derelict pig farm, forcing him to witness and participate in unspeakable horrors. Chosen at random, his victim?s screams were drowned out by the rural countryside.

Martin?s whereabouts would have remained a mystery, until 17-year-old Allison Miller (Daddario) comes to live with her Uncle Jonathan (Biehn). While exploring her new surroundings, Allison discovers things aren?t quiet at the farmhouse down the road. What started as an innocent exercise in satisfying her curiosity will soon disturb a hornet?s nest of evil and despair. For everyone involved, there can only be two outcomes: bereavement or death!

THE LAST CIRCUS Red Band Trailer

A red band trailer for director Alex de la Iglesia?s (The Oxford Murders) The Last Circus has landed online and it is borderline insane. The film is set in 1937 during the Spanish Civil War and centers on a circus clown who joins a militia and begins dispatching people with max prejudice. There really isn?t a lot else to be said about the cut except that it succeeds in peaking my interest regarding the film (a fact that makes me really question the type of things I?m interested in).

Unless you?re already afraid of clowns (in which case, I apologize for the dual-wielding one pictured above), I suggest you watch the restricted trailer after the jump. Magnolia is releasing The Last Circus, starring Carlos Areces, Antonio de la Torre, and Carolina Bang, to select theaters on August 12th.
 
Jason Keller Tapped to Write Matt Reeves THE PASSAGE

Here’s the synopsis for The Passage:

An epic and gripping tale of catastrophe and survival, The Passage is the story of Amy—abandoned by her mother at the age of six, pursued and then imprisoned by the shadowy figures behind a government experiment of apocalyptic proportions. But Special Agent Brad Wolgast, the lawman sent to track her down, is disarmed by the curiously quiet girl—and risks everything to save her. As the experiment goes nightmarishly wrong, Wolgast secures her escape—but he can’t stop society’s collapse. And as Amy walks alone, across miles and decades, into a future dark with violence and despair, she is filled with the mysterious and terrifying knowledge that only she has the power to save the ruined world. [Amazon]

Was a decent read. Kind of felt like two distinctly different books(if you read this you know what I mean). Reeves is a good choice for director, hopefully this guy writing it can tighten up the story A LOT. It's a big book, but it sprawls like crazy, so there is a lot of room for improvement.
 
Wake Wood (Blu-ray / DVD) | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

Overall, Wake Wood is an effectively creepy exploration of some of life's biggest moments (birth and death) and is definitely worth checking out when it makes its DVD debut in July. With hints of The Omen, Orphan, Pumpkinhead and oddly enough Hot Fuzz, Wake Wood is a prime example of why you don't always need a high-concept horror movie with huge gore effects to be an effective film-watching experience.
