All over it sir. Especially since the deputy is the 'Don't touch my percocets, and do you have any percocets'guy from Goon
 
Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator) Talks Ti West’s The Sacrament | The Talkhouse Film

I wish I could say that I enjoyed The Sacrament more than I did, but unfortunately the overdone conventions of the almost 35-year-old found-footage subgenre ends up doing it in. It also doesn’t help that the actual event they are presenting is even older. I just saw a rebroadcast of a real documentary of the Jonestown Massacre on CNN and found it about a hundred times more disturbing.

I saw it about a month ago and have yet to post a brief review but I found myself in a similar position. I thought it was well done and well acted for this type of low budget flick and I even think it's worth seeing. Ultimately though, I didn't find it scary and its inability to differentiate itself in any way from the a much scarier real life incident is really it's downfall. There is just nothing new here to see in either form or direction.
 


This now 3 year old movie is finally getting a push. The company line is that it took that long to digitally add the horns to each frame, I smell bs. It has screened to mostly even(some good/some not) reviews. Getting put out at Halloween, so that will garner some cash. I think in the end this is just gonna be a curiousity. Aja was once a very promising director...not so much anymore.

I can't imagine there being anyone in the country right now who feels like another Dracula or Frankenstein movie would be a good idea.

Oh I would love one. I think the Frankenstein stuff on Penny Dreadful was the best part of the show...so it can be done. I just don't think that relaunching the brand as a tentpole collective is a particularly good idea. Niche stuff coverted to mass market is just going to dilute and sabotage any chance of a respectable end result. Kids just won't buy in and adults(who are the market) will just turn away. They have done this time and time again with the same results.

Monster Squad?! Yay, Fred Dekker!!!

(I also used to like the TV show Monster Squad, but that probably is just an indicator of how old I now am.)
 
[Fantasia '14 Review] 'Late Phases' Is a Badass Werewolf Shocker With Loads of Heart -

Late Phases is certain to satisfy fans of the classic creature features of the ’80s who crave a practical werewolf transformation. The crack special effects and makeup team (headed by From Dusk Till Dawn‘s Robert Kurtzman) put together some wonderfully gory gross-out shape-shifting moments. Sweeping CGI aside, they went practical with werewolf suits and they’re huge and AWESOME. Their faces look more like Critters than wolves, but that’s part of their charm.

We told you during our continuing coverage of the San Diego Comic-Con that Ivan and Sam Raimi are working on developing an "Evil Dead" TV series and that franchise star Bruce Campbell would be involved somehow.

Campbell has been known to say lots of things only to recant a short time later so break out that grain of salt, kids! Nothing is solid just yet!

Stay tuned.
