It is being reporting that the Rob Schmidt horror film BAD MEAT has been effectively shut down due to lack of funds, with no light at the end of the tunnel in sight… Always sucks when something like this happens,...

New Road pics!

The NY Times has a very cool article about the making of THE ROAD – or more specifically, the dynamics of the story’s central relationship, between “Father” Viggo Mortensen and “Son” Kodi Smit-McPhee. The adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize...

CAN: Eden Lake poster!

Our head-honcho and resident lucky bastard The Arrow is in Cannes this week (I’ll reiterate: lucky bastard!), and being there he’s been able to come across some sweet things. No, I don’t mean it that way (although it’s probably true),...

Naughty Wanted trailer!

A deliriously wacky new WANTED trailer has popped up over at Filmz.ru. It’s in Russian, but that matters not too much when the visuals are as blissfully kinetic and eye-opening as the ones you’ll see HERE. Though it appears director...

Explicit Fear?

I’ve been dubious about NBC’s FEAR ITSELF ever since it was announced. I mean, MASTERS OF HORROR barely worked on pay-cable, why would it succeed on broadcast television? Nevertheless, the series – premiering on June 5 – has racked up...
