Yeah, I'm not missing this. If it plays at the Block in Orange, though, like most of the other BloodyDisgustingSelects stuff has, I'll probably just go see it there.

EDIT: Wait, THAT'S IT?! WTF?!!?!? I'm going to be out of town those days. Goddammit.

I think an edited cut is going to be in the usual places. The unedited is showing in art houses for the obvious reasons...this must be some heavy violence.

Maybe I should have said rated vs unrated. AMC is doing what they can, but as they proved with Hatchet 2 the unrated issue is a little more than they care to take on. I commend them for what they are doing and I am not sure what the numbers have been like but I can't imagine they are doing booming business with niche programming. The fact that they have stuck with it and Bloody Disgusting Selects keeps booking more movies is a good sign. Try not to be too mad Adgy-san, they are already taking pre-orders for the(I believe) unrated dvd.
 
I'm not mad at them. I agree with you.

If I wasn't going to be out of town for those Cinefamily dates, it wouldn't really matter, either. But I am, so it does. :)
 
UPDATED: BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: New Evil Dead Film Actually Gearing Up for Production! | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

When it comes to anything regarding the next Evil Dead flick, there's been so much said that we never know just what is or is not concrete anymore. However, an interesting and solid little tidbit has fallen right into our laps.

Dread Central has it on good authority from a very reliable source that long-time Sam Raimi editor Bob Murawski (Army of Darkness; Spider-man, Drag me to Hell) has packed up and headed out to Detroit to begin work on the long talked about fourth entry into the Evil Dead franchise, which will be "a small indie thing like the first two."

We'll get you more details as they come, but it looks like this IS happening. Will it be the fourth in the series? Will it be a remake? Stay tuned. News is coming.

Update
According to Bruce Campbell's official website, BruceCampbell.com, Bruce officially joined Twitter over the weekend (follow @GroovyBruce). On his Twitter site Bruce was questioned by a fan who stated, "I won't believe in a new Evil Dead film until I see it. Or at least not until @GroovyBruce tells me to believe in it," to which Campbell responded, "Believe in the remake, dawg! The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell." More as it comes.

At the risk of posting yet another false start...this one sounds like it may be real. I still think Raimi needs to get the taste of Spiderman out of his mouth, and although it was fun, looking back on it now DocNaysay may have been a little more right about Drag Me To Hell then we all wanted to admit...but that goat scene is still the ****!
 
Federico Alvarez to Direct THE EVIL DEAD Reboot





If you’re Bruce Campbell or Sam Raimi, you must live in constant dread of being asked about the future of The Evil Dead franchise. There hasn’t been a new entry in the series for 19 years (unless you count the hilarious stage musical) and yet the franchise is currently more popular than ever. Today the internet is abuzz because Bruce Campbell tweeted that the long discussed Evil Dead remake will finally be kicking off in the next few months. Sam Raimi is currently in his old stomping grounds of Detroit finding a cast of fresh faces to be possessed and torn to bits. But while Raimi will be supervising the project through his company Ghost House Pictures, his commitment to Oz, The Great And Powerful will keep him out of the director’s chair. However, we’ve recently learned who will be directing the Evil Dead reboot for Raimi and it’s Uruguay-native Federico Alvarez. Don’t be surprised if you haven’t heard the name because he hasn’t directed a feature yet. We do have a short film of his for your viewing pleasure though and the guy just might have the talent it takes to make Deadites walk again. Hit the jump for more.

Federico Alvarez might not have been on many horror fans’ radar before Bloody Disgusting’s report today that he will be directing the Evil Dead remake, but he has been making of a name for himself on the festival circuit with some impressive genre-flavored short films. Here’s Alvarez’s 2009 sci-fi short Panic Attack that caught the attention of Hollywood. It’s only 5 minutes long, but it’s an apocalyptic action scene worthy of blockbuster comparisons.

It’s a simple short, but stylish, impressive, and proof that Alvarez has a knack for working with the complicated and low-budgeted digital effects that will inevitably be a part of the Evil Dead remake. This movie could be decent even if it’s disappointing that the long awaited new Evil Dead film will just be the latest classic horror reboot rather than a new original entry in the franchise. While any sort of Evil Dead sequel this far down the line would probably be a disappointment, it is sad to know that Raimi and possibly Campbell won’t be returning to the chainsaw one last time (Drag Me To Hell did prove that Raimi’s still got a knack at generating jump scares and blood-drenched laughs after all). A remake is probably as close as we’re ever going to get to a new Evil Dead movie, so at least it’s nice to know that Raimi will be supervising the production in some way and a talented newcomer has been hired to make his mark with the franchise that put Raimi on the path to becoming on of Hollywood’s biggest directors. Hopefully, this reboot captures a little of the Evil Dead magic even if digital sheen will likely replace the latex and karo syrup joys of the original.

Rest in Peace: Roberts Blossom | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

His name may not ring a bell at first, but chances are you're quite familiar with the work of character actor Roberts Blossom. Sadly, Mr. Blossom passed away last Friday in Santa Monica, California, at the age of 87.

The New York Times posted quite a nice tribute to the quirky actor, excerpts of which follow:

Roberts Blossom was known for playing cantankerous old coots, both comic and sinister, but may be best remembered as the kindly next-door neighbor in the comedy Home Alone. He was an ill-fated patient in the George C. Scott film The Hospital, the delirious Wild Bob Cody in Slaughterhouse-Five, Paul Le Mat?s ornery father in Citizens Band, the farmer who once saw Bigfoot in Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the convict who paints the warden?s portrait in Escape From Alcatraz, and the irate judge who sentences Michael J. Fox to community service in the local hospital in Doc Hollywood.

In a rare starring role, he was Ezra Cobb, a crazed farmer who unleashes mayhem, in the cult horror film Deranged. Posters for the film bore the tag line: ?Pretty Sally Mae died a very unnatural death ... but the worst hasn?t happened to her yet!?


His other genre roles included appearances in Christine and the TV series "Amazing Stories," "Tales from the Darkside," and "The Twilight Zone" (circa 1985/87).

The Howling: Reborn Trailer Bares its Fangs | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

Well, this is unexpected! The trailer for The Howling: Reborn has quietly made its way online, and we have every pixel of it here for you curiosity seekers out there! Dig it and tell us what you think!

From the Press Release: It?s official! The Howling is reborn. One of the most admired horror franchises in screen history is about to run wild again, and this time it aims is to grab an even wider audience. Anchor Bay Films is proud to announce that it has acquired all rights for English speaking territories to the eagerly anticipated The Howling: Reborn, an all-new, totally original chapter written and directed by Joe Nimziki.

The legend of The Howling began more than 30 years ago, with the publication of Gary Brandner?s best-selling novel and the subsequent film adaptation written by Academy Award? nominated John Sayles (Lone Star, Spiderwick Chronicles) and directed by Joe Dante (Gremlins, InnerSpace), the success of which ushered in a new screen era of werewolves. Before there was ?Team Jacob,? there was Karen White, and Nimziki?s reboot of The Howling saga is being described in industry circles as ?Twilight with bite? with the deft mix of romance and action that audiences worldwide are craving.

?Genre films have always been special at Anchor Bay,? said Kevin Kasha, Executive Vice President of Acquisitions and Co-Productions. ?Given our success with many of the classic franchises and their honored remakes, The Howling: Reborn is the perfect addition to our family.?

?It is Joe Nimziki?s drive, creative vision and execution that has taken this franchise to the next level,? commented Etchie Stroh, CEO of Moonstone Entertainment. ?Joe, along with [producer] Joel [Kastelberg], has worked very hard to make sure the film reaches an even wider demographic while preserving the original storyline.?

Wow, do we miss Eddie Quist. Sigh.

Hi-Def Reviews - Horror Digital: The Nesting

All these great vague two word eighties titles imply that there’s something odd, inexplicable and affecting lingering about, and in the case of The Nesting, Blue Underground has a solid unseen gem on their hands here. With a mature story, accomplished performances, creative camerawork and some scary set pieces, it’s a shocker that definitely deserves a look. Blue Underground’s transfer gets top marks all around, and the deleted scenes and the surprisingly robust still gallery help round off a fine release. It had been awhile since Blue Underground put out a horror property that hadn’t long been in their possession, but hopefully they’re nesting more gems like this one. I could deal with being an agoraphobe pretty easily with titles like this in my collection. Recommended!

This is the second review of this Blu that I've read and the other was also really positive. I may have to pick this up.
 
Blue Underground does tremendous work as far as cleaning up and dressing up their dvds with quality extras. I've been waffling on this, may have to pick it up.
