When it comes to horror comedies, they either turn out awesome (Shaun of the Dead) or utterly pooptastic (Scary Movie). Tucker & Dale vs Evil looks like it falls under the “awesome” category.
Alan Tudyk (Firefly, Dollhouse, V) and Tyler Labine (Zack and Miri Make a Porno) star as two kind-hearted hillbillies who just want to relax and enjoy their vacation at a cabin in the woods, but some way-too-judgemental college kids who’ve obviously seen one too many slasher flicks presume that the rednecks are ruthless serial killers. Hilarity and gore ensue.
Check out the trailer:
Tucker & Dale vs Evil looks like a much-needed breath of fresh air in a genre that’s slowly become stale and full of cliches. No release date has been announced yet, so keep checking back for more info.
There’s a horror maze in Japan called Saikyō Senritsu Meikyū (”Ultimate Horror Maze”) that’s supposed to be the longest, scariest haunted attraction in the world. When the actors playing zombies started to alack and get a little less scary, the park closed down temporarily so that the employees could go through rigorous zombie training.
This sounds like the plot of a b-grade J-horror flick.
Warner Bros. sent the guys over at /Film some hi-res pics of Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Krueger from the Nightmare on Elm Street reboot set to hit theaters next year.
If there’s one thing we film nerds don’t like, it’s change. You wanna’ change the ending of Watchmen and get rid of the giant squid? We’ll hate you for it. You wanna cast Dennis Hopper as Bowser and make him a weird lizard man and give Mario stupid jump boots? Go ahead, but we’ll hate the shit out of your guts until we die. You wanna’ replace Robert Englund aka the best horror actor in the history of ever and re-cast someone else as Freddy muther-effing Krueger aka the dude that’s haunted our nightmares since we were little kids. FUCK YOU UP THE ASS!!!
At least, that seems to be the typical reaction. I, however, welcome change. No sense in telling the same story twice, so go ahead and cast the dude who played Rorchach in Watchmen. It’s better than casting Billy Bob Thornton anyway.
If the above trailer for Treevenge moved you as deeply as I think it did, you’ll most likely be touched by the entire movie which is embedded after the break.
It’s official: French horror flicks are the new Japanese horror flicks. With such intensely violent movies like High Tension, Frontière(s), and Martyrs, I’m almost ashamed to admit how creeped out I was when I first saw The Grudge and Ringu.
The Horde, produced by Xavier Gens aka the director of Frontière(s) and Hitman, is about a group of mobsters who team up with some cops to fight legions of the undead. It sounds a whole lot like a short story that I wrote a few years ago, only all the mobsters in my story wound up being the multiple personalities of a crazy guy.
The Horde will be making it’s debut at this year’s Frightfest.
If the combination of campy teen horror dialogue and Megan Fox’s sexiness don’t sell you on this flick, then you’re obviously a terrorist.
It’s probably worth mentioning that the script for Jennifer’s Body was penned by Diablo Cody, aka the chick who wrote Juno. Although I wasn’t a huge fan of Juno’s the-main-character-has-a-snarky-comeback-for-everything- ness, I think it could work in a stupid horror flick starring a hot chick. All you really have to say is “Megan Fox gets possessed by a demon and starts killing dudes” and I’m sold.
