The outstandingly freaky teaser trailer for the upcoming horror flick Frogz Legz capitalizes on the popular American male fantasy of meeting a sexually uninhibited European girl. All well and good until you fatally discover she’s descended from a race of man-eating were-frogs.

Twitch Film brought word of a very cool looking creature flick in the works from music video director Corin Hardy and screenwriter Tom de Ville entitled Frogz Legz that puts a new spin on territory previously mined in movies such as Species and Decoys.

In the film a class of English teenagers go on a French exchange to a remote town in Brittany and discover that the inhabitants are all were-frogs, intent on turning them into a new spawn.

The French have been called “frogs” for years but never has it been this literal.

The teaser for Frogz Legz has already accumulated a ton of hits on YouTube, no doubt because the makers slyly posted it under a heading more likely to catch the eye of guys prowling the website looking for videos of hot French gals. I’m sure those people got more than they bargained for, much like the characters surely will in the movie.

Guillermo del Toro-Produced Mama Enters Crowded Month for Horror in 2013 | Shock Till You Drop

Universal has announced Mama, from director Andy Muschietti, is set to hit theaters on January 18th, 2013. The inclusion of this film officially makes January a very, very busy month for horror.

2013 kicks off with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D on January 4th which is followed by Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters on the 11th. And on the 25th, we have James Wan's The Conjuring.

Will one of these titles move to make breathing room? Time will tell. The month already has two victims of a "release date push" - Paramount bumped H&G from early 2012 to 2013 and Lionsgate did the same for TCM3D, shoving it out of this fall and into January.

Genre fans will complain that January is a terrible month for horror, but not box office-wise. The Underworld films have turned a nice profit during this time and The Devil Inside was considered a hit during the normally quiet month. My Bloody Valentine 3D, The Unborn and Cloverfield all performed quite nicely as well during their January releases.

Mama, based on the short film of the same name, stars Jessica Chastain, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau,Megan Charpentier and Isabelle Nelisse. Read on for the description:

Guillermo del Toro presents Mama, a supernatural thriller that tells the haunting tale of two little girls who disappeared into the woods the day that their mother was murdered. When they are rescued years later and begin a new life, they find that someone or something still wants to come tuck them in at night.

The day their father killed their mother, sisters Victoria and Lilly vanished near their suburban neighborhood. For five long years, their Uncle Lucas and his girlfriend, Annabel, have been madly searching for them. But when, incredibly, the kids are found alive in a decrepit cabin, the couple wonders if the girls are the only guests they have welcomed into their home.

As Annabel tries to introduce the children to a normal life, she grows convinced of an evil presence in their house. Are the sisters experiencing traumatic stress, or is a ghost coming to visit them? How did the broken girls survive those years all by themselves? As she answers these disturbing questions, the new mother will find that the whispers she hears at bedtime are coming from the lips of a deadly presence.

Blue Hours Reviving Horror Radio Anthology Suspense to Air on SiriusXM This Fall | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

This latest bit of news should be music to the ears of all our readers who enjoy a bit of horror radio now and again. Blue Hours Productions is reviving the classic radio anthology series Suspense, and it will begin airing on SiriusXM Satellite Radio this fall.

The original Suspense, which ran from 1942-1962, was known as “radio’s outstanding theater of thrills” and featured a virtual 'who’s who' of Hollywood stars, including horror legends Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Vincent Price, and Peter Lorre. Though many of its episodes were murder mysteries, the original Suspense made many forays into pure horror, such as its adaptations of H.P. Lovecraft’s The Dunwich Horror and Curt Siodmak’s Donovan’s Brain.

The new Suspense, however, will go in a somewhat different direction, notes Blue Hours' John C. Alsedek. “While we’ll still be doing mystery stories, we’re also going for some bone-chilling horror... real pulp-era stuff!” Among the classic stories being adapted for the initial batch of episodes are: ‘Cool Air’ (by H.P. Lovecraft), ‘The Fire of Asshurbanipal’ (by Robert E. Howard), ‘The Graveyard Rats’ (by Henry Kuttner), ‘The Return of the Sorcerer’ (by Clark Ashton Smith), and ‘The Horla’ (by Guy de Maupassant). There's also the original 'Essence,' starring Skyler Caleb, Elizabeth Gracen, Dana Perry-Hayes, Steve Moulton, and Adrienne Wilkinson.

Alsedek and his partner Perry-Hayes will be drawing heavily on their highly experienced core group of voice talent, including Wilkinson (‘Xena’, ‘The Clone Wars’), Gracen (‘Highlander’), Daamen Krall (‘The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari’), and Tucker Smallwood (‘Star Trek: Enterprise’). “We’re very fortunate to have such marvelous actors and actresses to work with, along with some great guest stars; they allow us to really bring these amazing tales to life!”

Suspense will begin airing on SiriusXM Channel 80 this fall. However, complete episodes will also be available for MP3 download on the Suspense website, effective immediately.

Brian Yuzna's Amphibious: Creature of the Deep Finally Surfacing on US DVD | Horror Movie, DVD, & Book Reviews, News, Interviews at Dread Central

It's been over two years since we last reported anything about Brian Yuzna’s Amphibious so it goes without saying that this DVD release is a long time coming. The giant sea scorpion flick finally surfaces this October, albeit under the new title Amphibious: Creature of the Deep.

The director of Bride of Re-Animator, Beyond Re-Animator, Return of the Living Dead III, and Society traveled to Indonesia to produce his newest creature feature starring the venerable Michael Pare and Dutch actress Janna Fassert.

Synopsis:
Marine biologist Skylar Shane hires an expert charter boat captain, Jack Bowman, to help her find prehistoric life form samples in the north Sumatran Sea. During the expedition they meet a gang of smugglers headquartered on a fishing platform in the middle of the sea with a young orphan boy among them who begs Skylar to take him away. She is determined to help him, not knowing what lurks beneath the dark inky water, waiting to surface.

Yuzna originally shot the film in 3D, but it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting the three-dimensional version when Vivendi Entertainment releases Amphibious: Creature of the Deep on DVD October 9th.

Sad to see a guy who is just as important as Stuart Gordon as far as Re-Animator goes, relegated to making some **** movie that seems like it's SyFy material. A few flashes of practical fun in the trailer, but you can see the cgi creep in and overwhelm.
 


Movie Review: The Awakening | Geeks of Doom

While the early 20th century ghost hunting techniques are an original and enjoyable addition to the story, the majority of The Awakening doesn’t feel like something you’ve never seen before. This is then magnified by the ending, which almost felt to me like the filmmakers weren’t quite sure how to bring it all together, ultimately deciding to go with the always risky twist ending. Obviously I’m not going to spoil what happens, but it’s not exactly what I would call satisfying. Perhaps if other movies with similar twists were never made it would be much more effective here, but you’re not likely to be shocked by what unfolds, unfortunately.

Still, The Awakening is a movie I think fans of ghost stories could find enjoyable. The ending isn’t what I wished it would be, but the movie as a whole has a solid story, some spooky scares, strong acting all around, and a dark and beautiful old England setting to help enhance everything.

[BD Review] ‘The Hunt’ Shoots the American Screenplay Right Between the Eyes | | Bloody DisgustingBloody Disgusting

The Hunt plays out beautifully, well paced and delicately shot by DP Anna Naigeon and camera operator Sylvian Bourjac, wiping away any of the grime or amateurism a low budget film would normally stain viewers with. The acting is just emotional enough, and the sounds (such as struggling to breathe from a mouth without a tongue) of survival rise above the script. The music is sometimes reminiscent of John Carpenter’s early work (Assault on Precinct 13), and the chases mimicking how you might see a tiger chase down a gazelle – its a visceral experience that you feel and become embedded in, as opposed to reading subtitles and being told a story verbally – and this works, top to bottom.

The air of danger and survival is fairly palpable, which gives The Hunt a worthy score in my book. The gore and graphic violence headed by David Scherer has its see-through moments at times (for instance, discolored latex across the throat), but there is an ample amount of blood splashing from injuries, as you’d expect from a French horror film. Its not anywhere near the power of Inside, or Martyrs, in comparison, but you wont be left without the attempted violence you’d expect from a film like this.

As far as special features, the DVD that is available now comes with nothing extra, not even a trailer. But, its being sold at a very modest price (just above ten dollars), which is a relief in itself for the new releases department.

What is most likeable about The Hunt, is how it all plays out. While I’m dying to spill what makes this screenplay so outstanding from the main, and unpredictable, to do so would ruin the film. At 78 minutes, it flies by and wastes no time with unnecessary filler. It pretty much takes the American 90 minute script format, as Syd Field might propose, and shoves it up your ass and does its own thing. While some who are conditioned to Hollywood endings might cry foul, its a fresh step away from expectations, and makes The Hunt an enjoyable horror film that stands out from the pack.

Sounds like a nice little find.
 
Review: Rebecca Hall Chiller 'The Awakening' Is Flawed, But Also Kind Of A Blast | The Playlist

And British chiller "The Awakening," while certainly commercial, is a more old-fashioned kind of ghost story, firmly of a piece with recent genre hits like "The Others" and "The Orphanage." With backing from BBC Films, and a strong cast led by Rebecca Hall, Dominic West and Imelda Staunton, it certainly seems to be on the classier side of the horror movie spectrum, and our hopes were high that it might provide a little change of pace. And so it did. The film, the debut from TV director Nick Murphy, has more than its share of flaws, but it also gets its balance of tones right, proving spooky, involving and occasionally resonant, while still managing to bring something new to a well-worn tale, and providing a terrific lead part for one of the most promising actresses of her generation.

Opens in limted release this week, I believe.
 


Love these things. Had the sound down and Static-X's DESTROYER blasting...was a nice mix. I know Luc'll give it a try.
