http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...84140265652123


1. Unrest


Alison Blanchard begins her journey to become a physician in her Gross Anatomy class, where she must confront rows of cadavers and her own fearof mortality. When the sheets are drawn back revealing her cadaver, Alison senses a presence in the lab. Her jaded professor chalks it up to first year "jitters" but her worries increase when a friend is found dead in the basement. Alison must find out the truth behind her cadaver before its angered spirit can wreak further vengance on those who dared to disturb the body.





2. Penny Dreadful



Penny, (Rachel Miner: "The Black Dahlia", "Bully", "The Memory Thief"), a young woman traumatized by a childhood auto accident that killed her parents, accompanies her therapist, (Mimi Rogers: "Austin Powers", "Someone To Watch Over Me"), on a road trip back to the scene of the accident as part of her therapy to overcome her fear of cars. But, when the two women accidentally cross paths with a dark and mysterious Hitch Hiker on a lonely stretch of mountain highway an attempt at healing suddenly takes a terrifying detour into a horrorific life and death struggle with a ruthless, deranged killer bent on preying upon Penny’s worst fears.




3. The Gravedancers



"Old-school terror the way it should be." Winner of rave reviews at the Tribeca Film Festival. A group of friends' lives are invaded by a trio of hostile ghosts after they engage in a drunken bout of gravedancing during a wake for an old chum.



4. The Hamiltons


The highly-acclaimed winner of the Santa Barbara International Film Festival and the Malibu Film Festival. The Hamiltons seem to be the picture-perfect American family. They are hardworking community members; giving to their local charities, attending town hall meetings and always respectful of their neighbors... except for the fact that they usually end up killing them.



5. Reincarnation


From the director of "The Grudge" and "The Grudge 2" comes Reincarnation,a suspenseful psychological horror film that deals with the topic of reincarnation.




6. Dark Ride


Ten years after he brutally murdered two girls, a killer escapes from a mental institution and returns to his turf, the theme park attraction called "Dark Ride". About to crash his path are a group of college kids on a road trip who stumble across the park, unaware that this thrill ride is the last one they're ever going to take.



7. The Abandoned
Called "Truly frightening and Original". A film producer who was adopted as a baby and sent to America, returns to her native Russia and the family farm. Once there, strange things begin to happen including the disappearance of her guide, the manifestation of ghosts (including her own!) and the appearance of another man who has been drawn to the farm for the same reasons. Directed by Spanish Director Nacho Cerda (Ataudes de Luz, Genesis).





Film 8 is unknown

I' mostly want to see Reincarnation, The Gravedancers, Dark Ride, and The Hamiltons. Which ones will you see?

[outsyder]

I have never heard of any of these films. Are they new?

You probably don't know them because they're eight of the more disgusting horror films, and were deemed way too violent/ disturbing to be shown to the public before.

But this studio is going ahead and screening them anyway.

[Tyler_Durden_208]

Am I the only one tired of "psychological horror" and Japanese horror directors mixing? It's beginning to be one of the most tired genres ever.
However, some of the other films do interest me.

Nah, Tyler, your not the only one man. I too am sick of the epidemic that has become "psychological horror" and believe it must be stopped at all COST!

That actually sounds like the premise to a sweet horror movie. Danger and Durden: The Psychological Horror Incident - and the sequel - Danger and Durden: The Psychological Horro Incident 2: The Awakening

Lets kick some Psychological ass Tyler.

Considering I not only live in the boonies, but this is being shown in select theaters as well, I won't be seeing it. Unless of course they release a DVD, then I can get it off netflix. Killer (oh, pun baby!).

[someguy]

Hahaha, what an awful marketing ploy. Too disgusting for the public!!!! That's why they'll be STV in a few months where the public can rent them at Blockbuster anytime I assume?

[ZenDude]

Every single one is a must see for me.

Hah. That sounds like a good plan. I do like some psychological horror, but not this recent trend in psychological means some "ghost" or something. I like psychological to be just that, psychological.

There are some good psychological horror flicks, such as The Shining and Mercy, for example, but it seems that anything to come out of the genre nowadays is complete crap, like The Grudge or its most certainly equally stupid sequel, but that's delving into the Japanese remake issue, which envokes a great and furious anger within me I wish not to discuss.

Heck, to me, it's not even just the Japanese remakes. Some of the Japanese psychological horror I've seen follows suit. Just because a ghost "scares you psychologically" doesn't make it psycological horror. Someone should tell these people that. I'm really trying to think of a good example of a recent psycological horror movie, but I can't think of one for the life of me.

[someguy]

I've never seen The Ring, The Grudge, etc. referred to as psychological horror. Not once. It's a horror movie first, the only thing coming close to psychological horror recently from that group of movies is Marebito and A Tale of Two Sisters. Also, what assumption do you have that Reincarnation will be a typical J-horror and not psychological? Have you seen any trailers at all or just the poster along with 'from the maker of The Grudge' and assume it's a J-horror. Maybe it's just me, but I've rarely seen psychological horror thrown around with the movies you guys are talking about.

The best of these movies is that they are NOT remakes!

[someguy]

You quoted that whole post for that?

[Scarfather]

Overwhelming chances are that they're shitty B movies that were too plotlessly grotesque and pointless to get a real release, but whatever.

I've seen several things about the film, and even read an early review of it a while back. And I don't refer to those types of films as "psycholigical" but I've seen many others that do.
Speaking of misclassified movies, for some reason, NARC (the one with Ray Liotta) was in a bin with a bunch of horror movies for sale at Wal-Mart. When did it even become a horror/thriller movie?

[someguy]

I wouldn't exactly put a teenager judging a movie's genre by it's cover in Wal Mart as people seeing Narc as a horror. I still haven't seen most J-horror movies referred to as psychological horrors though, it's always a horror movie or a J-horror movie.

What they said. It's sort of like when everyone was claiming that Hostel was going to be the goriest flick of all time or whatever. It's just all marketing and hype to get people to see a few below-decent projects.

Don't you think that the big studios want to deliver something truly terrifying to the general public? OF COURSE THEY DO! Any studio would love to have the next "Halloween" or "Exorcist" on their hands.

With all that said, you still might have a good time with these flicks if you don't buy into all the hype. Just like how I loved Hostel by not expecting anything close to the goriest movie of all time.

I see movies like The Ring and The Grudge falling under psychological horror simply for the fact that they can't fall under anything else. I suppose you could label them "Ghost horror" if you felt like it, but what exactlly does a ghost story entail? For the most part, ghosts cant hurt you physically, they can only manipulate you into doing things, or, through some exestential loophole, hurt you in some very specific way. Not to mention, if you follow the ghost story rules of engagement, they almost always lure you into some eerie setting and play with your head through ambient noises and empty hallways. Hence, they fuck with you psychologically. If a ghost takes physical form and just simply kills people through the usual means, it become a slasher.

Japanese remakes suck.

[someguy]

It has it's own genre. Horror, and sometimes I see thriller thrown around. That's a dumb explanation on why they call it psychological, in fact you're kind of justifying the thing you're arguing against. Nobody looks into it that much, and like I have said I haven't seen psychological horror used on The Grudge, The Ring, Pulse, etc. They are horror films, and to be a bit more specific J-horror. I just want to see some proof of this.

[Tyler_Durden_208]

On the NARC thing, it was a Paramount display box for Halloween. So it was Paramount's decision, not some dumb teenager. But I digress.
Regardless of what you call them, I'm sick of J-horror, it's imitators, and whatever films like these or somewhat similar are classified as. Let's just agree to disagree.

It's moot what you call the sub-genre, the topic is just how BAD it is. The genre is Horror, yes, but the sub-genre, as it were, is phsycological horror. It has little actual meaning, its like an infamous pet name on Seinfeld, its only there for classification. You obviously have your mind set on "J-horror", which, if I may be so bold to assume, is supposed to stand for "Japanese Horror." Brilliant. It seems your a little too focused on what to call it, when you should just be focused on the negative impact it has on the horror genre as a whole. Specifically, the psychological horror SUB GENRE, which most people (obviously not you, however) associate them with. Which, might I add, is all IM talking about. WTF are you talking about exactly?

[God of War]

Hey, peoples. I had made some screen caps of this trailer. And I just stumbled across this thread. Jigsaw666, hope you don't mind, dude?

Wow.... their marketing got you hook, line, and sinker. Do you always believe everything you see in trailers or on TV? Some of these flicks actually have MPAA ratings. They are standard DTV fare, being groomed and marketed by a studio trying something different with them. That's all it is.

Gravednacers looks the best! None of the theatres are in ny though.

What I posted was copied and pasted off another site. That was in no way my opinion.

[RandalGraves]

These flicks look crazy!

[Psychocandy]

I've been and gone and done a bit of research on these here movies. And it's looking pretty damn positive. I found reviews of half a dozen of the movies and mostly the response has been positive. I've actually got Reincarnation on DVD and plan on watching it in the next few days. Yeah it's a bit of a publicity stunt but who gives a shit about that when the content looks likely to come close to living up to the hype (i'm not buying the way too violent/disturbing for public consumption tagline).
