Trailer for Insidious
A teaser trailer (and I do mean teaser) is finally out for the upcoming frightener, Insidious, brought to us by those quality folks behind Paranormal Activity and Saw. The film’s director, James Wan, was responsible for the very first Saw, which was arguably the only one of value in the entire line. He also helmed [...]
Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale
If you happen to be in the D.C. area this holiday season (or one of these other lucky locales), head on over to E Street Cinema and catch what has to be the pick for holiday family movie, Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale.
The Rite Trailer
Hang onto your crucifixes! Nothing scares like a good film that plays to the darker corners of religion and hides behind the veil of “inspired by true events.” That appears the direction of The Rite, Anthony Hopkins’ new film where he assumes the characteristically sinister old dude; this time a seasoned priest skilled in exorcisms. [...]
Trailer for My Soul to Take
A trailer for Wes Craven‘s latest, My Soul to Take, is finally out. And it’s pretty classic Craven fare, which is about its only redeeming quality. The film promises a high-school scare (literally and figuratively) and a formulaic OK time. Each wondering teenager tries to discern the killer in the dark; each gets offed one-by-one (some will likely be getting off at the same time); ultimately one will remain to reveal the truth ahead of a conclusion that is surely to glimpse the possibility of a sequel. The film is borderline interesting, but the 3D angle, which seems to be infecting almost every film as of late, makes it a real toss-up.
Poster for Monsters
Six years ago previously, a NASA probe returning to earth with samples of an alien life form, crashed over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear, and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain “the creatures”… The story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken American tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.
Devil Trailer
“Set in an office building, five strangers enter an elevator that suddenly stops between floors. As they try to find a way out, even as the building’s security works to free them, strange and inexplicable things begin to happen. As the events increase in violence, the five prisoners realize one of them is the Devil.”
The Human Centipede
Somehow, The Human Centipede (First Sequence) has slithered its way into theaters. Arguably, this indie horror, written and directed by Tom Six, should have never made it out of the damp corners of a genre geek’s hard-drive. But it did, and we have IFC to thank. Or hate. Centipede is surely to draw strong opinions on both sides, but what’s certain is that it’s a film that cannot be unseen.
A Nightmare on Elm Street
With a rash of slasher film remakes in the past decade, it was inevitable that Nightmare would get its own update. In the company of more conventional films like Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday the 13th, and countless imitators, there’s probably no other horror movie of the era more worthy of a fresh look by a new audience.
