Wenders/Dafoe in Miso

Horror is obviously going arthouse nowadays (or is it the other way around?) – and I like it. Call this an older “new-wave” of horror directors: we’ve already told you how visionaries like Lars Von Trier and Werner Herzog are...

Obsessed cast grows

Last we told you about the FATAL ATTRACTION-style thriller OBSESSED, Idris Elba, Beyonce Knowles (below), and Ali Larter (above and below) had all joined the cast of the Steve Shill-directed movie, about an asset manager (Elba) with a beautiful wife...

Meat Train moves. Yawn.

Last I wrote about MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN, I reported that it was going straight-to-DVD. Turned out I was semi-wrong, as it’s going straight-to-DVD in CANADA, not the U.S. (At least that was the story at the time.) Since then, it’s...

Thirst promo poster!

Insects invade Argentina!

Seems like every other week we’ve got news of an end of the world and/or alien-invasion film. Not complaining mind you, I love that stuff – especially when giant insects are involved. Which brings me to EL ETERNAUTA, a horror/sci-fi...

Cool Hap’nin poster!

Now that’s what’s Hap’nin! A fairly cool German poster has been displayed over at BlairWitch.de, showing what’s either part of the film’s mysterious central plague, or the fallout after of the movie’s premiere, as a disillusioned and disgusted audience resorts...

Dawn/Dead 3D!

Don’t panic, this isn’t a sequel to that dreadful NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD 3-D piece of filth; this isn’t even Zack Snyder’s DAWN in 3-D. Nope, this is the best one, the 1978 George Romero classic we’re talking about....
