Horror

I like the actor in The Stepfather (the guy from Nip/Tuck, my guilty pleasure), but I'm not sure about Saw VI. The original Stepfather was excellent, but these constant remakes are making me weary, and I love nearly everything horror! Zombieland looks pretty damn good and Romero's new one is getting close (maybe next year, who knows). We've suddenly taken a sharp turn back to the typical, Hollywood fodder.  It's fun to watch, but not much more.  I'll stick to my collection for now.

They'll all suck, I'm sure. The only one I have any hope for is Zombieland, honestly. But for some reason I have a vibe that it's going to suck. I really think all the movies I'm anticipating for the rest of the year aren't horror at all. Kind of sad actually.

Anyone totally STOKED about Trick 'r Treat? Out on DVD October 6th.

Looks awesome and it's been getting raving reviews.

Also, unrated version of Drag Me To Hell out Oct 20.

[bright lights, big city]

All I need is Drag Me To Hell. Best horror movie of the year, can't wait for the dvd.

Another remake?  That doesn't make any sense. The newest two were retellings (remakish) and the last one, Next Generation, was a remake/parody. Tobe Hooper should be pissed lol.

haha it's no surprise, slasher films are the first to be whored out for money.  Friday the 13th remake last year, Nightmare on Elm Street remake in April...that putrid sequel to Rob Zombie's boner Halloween.  Scream 4 starting shooting soon.  The slasher is seriously in a state of extreme decline...thankfully, we can now get some more plot-driven horrors!

edit: and trust me, I like the occasional slasher.  But it's getting more and more ridiculous and more and more tame.

I'm holding out for a Killer Klowns From Outer Space remake. That would be a decent flick to reboot for today's audiences.

What an AWESOME movie. Every horror fan should check this out. Absolutely fantastic Halloween-themed movie.

Great.

A Nightmare on Elm Street
The Crazies

I'm looking forward to The Crazies, actually.

Yeah, me too.

The only reason why I have a slight interest in the Elm Street remake is because of Jackie Earle Haley

EVIL DEAD TO RISE AGAIN IN THEATERS IN 2010

Before there was Spider-Man, Sam Raimi began his multi-billion dollar career with little more than $375,000 and a script for a schlocky X-rated horror film. But when Evil Dead was released in 1981, its gore and wit garnered it a cult following, amassing box office earnings of $2.4 million in the U.S. and over $29 million worldwide. Its success led to several sequels, a stage musical, and cult fame for its writer-director and its star, Bruce Campbell.

Now, 28 years later, Raimi, Campbell and producer Robert Tapert plan to re-release the film in theaters. In 2010, the creators and Grindhouse Pictures will offer midnight showings of the cult classic at select Landmark theaters in the U.S., Mayfair Cinema in Canada, and more venues will be announced after the first of the year.

The always unconventional Campbell has this to say about the release: "Nothing can prepare an audience for what they are about to see, because nothing punishes an audience like Evil Dead — especially on the big screen. I'm really glad it's back. People are gonna be hurt."

Bring on the pain.



FUCK YES!

[theis]

Haha, that's fucking awesome. I'd love to see it on the big screen.

[defskull]

I'm definitely doing this.

watched Paranormal Activity tonight, the original version. didn't even know there were different version until after I watched it, but oh well.

I like it, it was pretty creepy and nicely done. but never as outrageously scary as I thought it would be. seems like it's been overhyped a bit.

I'm gonna check out 4th Kind soon btw, sounds like it's a bit more scary. anyone seen it yet?

[bright lights, big city]

Fourth Kind does look interesting. I plan on seeing it in the cheap theaters this week sometime. Too bad it got some pretty crappy reviews.

[Jacob]

I don't care one bit about reviews to be honest.

let me know what you thought once you've seen it.

[theis]

Watched Rob Zombies Halloween II.

I was expecting the worst movie ever, but I gotta admit I liked it. Sure, as a Halloween movie, it fails on every level but if you look away from that you got yourself a damn entertaining slasher/horror flick.

I certainly enjoyed it.

7/10.
