All Things HORROR

Apologies. I'm not. And your quote was my initial response. Wasn't assuming your feelings but I wanted to attribute the words in my head to the right person. See Doc...you are in my head.

SIGHTSEERS Review. Ben Wheatley?s SIGHTSEERS Stars Alice Lowe and Steve Oram | Collider

Below the radar release out this weekend. Kill List, his last flick...is very abstract and divisive. I have heard this is more straightforward...very funny and VERY dark.

Review: Ben Wheatley's 'Sightseers' - Or 'Natural Born Campers' - Is A Black-Comedy Holiday Hoot | The Playlist

"Sightseers" never becomes a one-joke film, though, in no small part due to the smarts and sly comedy of Lowe and Oram's script and performances. A group of hikers staring deadpan at a public outrage is nigh-perfect, while Tina and a upscale yuppie's discussion of interior design strategy turns into a semantic struggle about "decor" versus "clutter." Wheatley's film is a look at what happens when lives of quiet desperation become very, very loud, and how fast a couple can go from co-dependents to co-conspirators. "Sightseers" homicidal holiday isn't just a pitch-black comedy made with skill, will and brains; it's also another demonstration that Wheatley is, to use an all-too-appropriate phrase, going places.

Review: 'Black Rock' A Back-To-The-Wilds Slasher With Brains & Bonding To Go With The Blood | The Playlist

Some more strident and narrow-minded horror fanatics -- not fans, but fanatics -- will possibly find "Black Rock" too talky, or not violent enough. Then again, character development and establishment of relationships has never been too much of a priority for non-judgmental horror junkies who are, traditionally, more interested in seeing a woman's heart or mind in a clenching hand or on a sharpened blade than actually understanding said woman's heart or mind. At the same time, Aselton doesn't strain to underline or highlight the subtext with droning speeches or heavy-handed clumsiness, getting in, getting on with it and getting out in a crisp and chilly 83 minutes. "Black Rock" isn't going to become the sort of classic that "Deliverance" was, but if you like your scares smart, and like them to happen to people you actually care about, then Aselton's island of friendship and fury is a nice place to visit.

Kickstarter Spotlight: CGI-Free Creatures Movie ‘Harbinger Down’ From ‘Alien,’ ‘Tremors’ FX Team | Geeks of Doom

Here’s what the movie will be about:

A group of grad students have booked passage on the fishing trawler Harbinger to study the effects of global warming on a pod of Orcas in the Bering Sea. When the ship’s crew dredges up a recently thawed piece of old Soviet space wreckage, things get downright deadly. It seems that the Russians experimented with tardigrades, tiny resilient animals able to withstand the extremes of space radiation. The creatures survived, but not without mutation.

Now the crew is exposed to aggressively mutating organisms. And after being locked in ice for 3 decades, the creatures aren’t about to give up the warmth of human companionship.
Now, although the movie’s creatures won’t be made using CGI—this is, after all, a movie to celebrate practical effects—that doesn’t mean that there won’t be digital tools used for certain things like falling snow and breath vapor, to remove things that shouldn’t be there, and to enhance the overall look of things.

So if you’re a fan of practical, non-CGI creatures in your horror movies, be sure to help Harbinger Down become awesome by heading to their Kickstarter page. The goal that’s been set is only $350,000 (small for a movie, especially one with lots of special effects) and they’re currently halfway through the $70Ks with 21 days to go, but, obviously, the more they get the bigger and more awesome the finished movie will be.

Oh, right, and one more thing: Lance Henriksen. That is all!

I am quite fond of Prince of Darkness despite the fact that people say it's one of his worst films, lol!
Click to expand...

The only problem I ever had with Prince of Darkness is that the first two acts are so unbelievably good and so far ahead of their time that the third act had trouble paying it off properly. Considering many of the films that have transpired since it was first released, I find it easier to watch as a whole now.
 
Cannes Review: Cannibal Tale ‘We Are What We Are’ Threatens To Give Horror Remakes A Good Name

But really, “We Are What We Are” is just a great yarn, well-acted, elegantly shot and put together cleverly so that even its more visceral delights feel well-earned. It will likely disappoint the “buckets of blood” brigade, but for anyone looking for a horror movie with smarts, that stops just shy of being anything as po-faced as “thought-provoking” in favor of just being a great time at the movies, “We Are What We Are” entirely delivers. Enjoy with some fava beans and nice Chianti. [B+]

The Scream Factory Launches YouTube Channel - Dread Central

From their Facebook Page...

We’re happy to announce again that we have a new “view” into all things Scream Factory! Head on over to our new Scream Factory YouTube Channel, where we have things broken down into four frightfully fun categories:

TRAILERS: All coming attractions for our Scream releases will reside here. Currently we have trailers up to the 7/30 release of The Fog and our upcoming fall release of Cockneys vs. Zombies.

FEATURED: Sneak peeks of original content (i.e., interviews with cast or crew) from our releases. Right now you can check out clips from our Blu-ray/DVD releases of The Burning and The Town that Dreaded Sundown.

RETRO GRAVEYARD: Shout Factory released a lot of horror and sci-fi films prior to creation of the “Scream” line in 2012, so this is where you can see trailers from some of our greatest hits from the past including The Stepfather, Visiting Hours, Bad Dreams, a lot of Roger Corman releases (Piranha, Death Race 2000, Slumber Party Marty Massacre, etc.) and several others.

SCREAM PICKS: Each Friday we will choose 5 horror or sci-fi related clips (that currently exist on YouTube) as our Top 5 “Picks” of the week. For instance, to celebrate this week's release of The Burning, see what other 5 summer camp/in-the-woods slasher pics we highlighted as our favorites or guilty pleasures (they’ll likely be some of yours too). On the next Friday (the 24th), we’ll swap that out for a new theme and 5 more clips. The possibilities are endless…

This is just the beginning, and the site will evolve this summer. After we get our feet wet, we’ll want YOU to participate in the horror, too!
