And that is why the Hellraiser flicks are doomed. Doug Bradley has put SUCH a stranglehold on that part. Any attempt to replace him is pointless. You had a grip of movies that were fair to middling, yet his PRESENCE carried them through ups and downs. Barker is a twisted sick **** and all of his stories deal from perversion and body horror. No way the Weinsteins ever get that right...and without Bradley's Evil English Gentleman presence to usher a new Hellraiser flick...well, it's just gonna suck hard and blow hairballs. The ****ed thing is...the Weinsteins have chosen wisely repeatedly, but they just do not have enough faith that making a HR flick that is dangerous is going to work. Hey Weinsteins, i guarantee you, safe is death when it comes to this franchise.
 
The Creepshow roach scene is a little sloppy, check the Barney Rubble black pupils, so I might drop this 'un in...


It's from a rarely seen Yuzna flick called SOCIETY which is a pretty f'd up '80's horror flick.

Ben Stiller to Direct THE MOUNTAIN


20th Century Fox has acquired the spec script The Mountain for Ben Stiller to direct. The script comes from Helen Childress, who also wrote Stiller’s 1994 feature directorial debut Reality Bites. Deadline reports that The Mountain is a horror project based on characters from Edith Wharton’s novel Summer. Set in the 1900s, the story centers on “a young woman who struggles to confront her destiny after stumbling upon a mysterious object that forces her to examine the secrets of her past.” The tone is said to be along the lines of Rosemary’s Baby.

While the dramatic material may seem an odd fit for Stiller, the comedic actor had previously been attached to direct Aaron Sorkin’s political drama The Trial of the Chicago 7 (though word on that project has been mum for quite some time). He’s also developing a remake of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty which he’ll direct and star in. Then there’s Zoolander 2 that he plans to direct, though Paramount is dragging their feet in bringing that project to fruition. For shame, Paramount, for shame.

AICN Exclusive! DUCK HUNT Meets CUJO In Sam Balcomb's "The Hunt"!
Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.

If you bought an Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986, most likely your console came with two games: GYROMITE and DUCK HUNT. The latter required synchronization with a robot, and wasn't much fun; the former, however, simply asked players to point their "NES Zapper" at the screen and blast waterfowl for hours on end. This was fun - save for the hunting dog that'd pop up and snicker at you every time you missed your target. That was rage inducing.

Twenty-five years later, director Sam Balcomb and producer Joe Lynch have channeled this fury into a short called "The Hunt". It's part of Lynch's Epictober Film Festival for G4 Films, a series of shorts that infuse well-known video games with more disturbing, if not outright horrific elements. You'll get to see all three movies on G4tv.com next week (10/24, 10/25, 10/26), but for a taste of what's in store, check out the trailer for "The Hunt" right here!

Fair enough. It took me a while to embrace the ending too. That's really the litmus test of these found footage flicks too, I get it. They have to have that gut punch ending that justifies the buildup. While I had trouble with the brevity of the ending...at first(the more I chewed on it the more that it worked for me) the rest of the movie was done well enough for me to deal with it. They are working on a sequel and as sketchy as the ending for the first one was I am afraid they are going to try to overexplain things if they try to go back to the well.

I just finished watching this as well. What's funny is leading up the ending I was thinking to myself, "this has been so clear cut and I know where it's leading." Then wham, a complete change of pace. I appreciated the additional questions/thoughts that were created and I loved Cotton's reaction. It fit perfectly IMO with his psyche/personality (ego) established throughout the movie.
