Derek Mears & More Head Into The Swamp For Hatchet 3!
13 hours ago | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Adam Green’s Hatchet films have built a reputation of not only being incredibly gory & jaw-droppingly inventive thanks to the advent of good ‘ol practical effects, but also for it’s casting which is essentially The Avengers of the horror genre. Green’s debut film assembled horror titans such as Kane Hodder, Robert Englund, Tony Todd & effects legend John Carl Buechler, while the sequel expanded on that – adding new blood into the mix with cult-fan favorites Danielle Harris, A.J. Bowen, R.A. Mihailoff and even veteran director Tom Holland!
The currently deep in pre-production Hatchet 3 (they begin filming next week!) is definitely honoring that tradition by adding a heap of newcomers to the film including neo Jason Voorhees Derek Mears, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2‘s Caroline Williams, The Collector‘s Diane Goldner, The Fp & upcoming Vs Jason Trost and last but not least The People Under The Stairs‘ Sean Whalen!

Twilight's Taylor Lautner, X-Men's Wolverine, The Hangover's Heather Graham and Sin City's Jessica Alba: Who are the sexiest strippers and scariest werewolves on screen?
17 May 2012 8:34 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
To Mark the recent release of Strippers Vs Werewolves on DVD and Blu-ray comes a new battle between both sides of the monstrous mash-up.
Kaleidoscope's British comedy-horror flick sees sleazy werewolf Mickey (Martin Kemp) killed in a strip club. The girls who work there have until the next full moon before his bloodthirsty brethren seek murderous retribution. Among the cast is glamour model and former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Lucy Pinder (above).
So who leads the pack in the film world as a whole? An infographic from the film's publicity people (see below) ranks the contenders.
Vying for the title of Sexiest Stripper are Heather Graham in The Hangover, Jennifer Beals in Flashdance, Demi Moore in Striptease, Jessica Alba in Sin City and Salma Hayek in From Dusk Till Dawn.
The contenders for Scariest Werewolf were: Taylor Lautner's character Jacob in the Twilight films; Michael J. Fox's Scott »

Mark Kermode's DVD round-up

War Horse; Strippers vs Werewolves; Four; Buck
Among the charges most regularly levelled at Steven Spielberg is that his movies are over-egged puddings that trade in rank melodrama and infantilising sentimentality. A whinnying chorus of such dismissive jeers greeted the arrival of War Horse (2011, DreamWorks, 12) late last year, with some predictably sniffy manure being thrown at this most populist auteur's emotional Grand National. Admittedly neither understatement nor brevity has ever been Spielberg's strong point, hence the much repeated joke: War Horse walks into a bar, barman says: "Why the long film?"
Yet to complain that this nostalgically cinematic adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's bestselling book (and feted stage adaptation) is somewhat soft around the edges is to forget that the source story was specifically aimed at younger readers. No, this is not a four-legged revisiting of the beach scenes from Saving Private Ryan, which portrayed the horrors of war in shockingly visceral form. »

The HeyUGuys UK DVD/Blu-Ray Release Round-Up – 7th May
7 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Over the past few months, we’ve added a weekly Friday feature rounding up the new releases coming to the big screen each week, courtesy of our Mr. Rob Keeling, giving you a taste of all the brilliant(/not so brilliant) films entering your local cinemas at the weekend.
It recently occurred to me to start up a similar weekly feature, instead rounding up all* the films making their way to the shelves of your local video stores (and of course, increasingly, supermarkets) at the start of each week.
There are so many brilliant films often released in close proximity to each other that sometimes it’s just not possible to see everything you want to see on the big screen, not to mention the fact that not all films are released in a nearby cinema (particularly if you live outside of London). I’m a big believer in the »

This week's new films
27 April 2012 4:07 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Damsels In Distress (12A)
(Whit Stillman, 2011, Us) Greta Gerwig, Analeigh Tipton, Adam Brody, Ryan Metcalf, Megalyn Echikunwoke. 99 mins
Stillman casts a wry eye across the college campus, and settles on Gerwig's clique of preppy girls who confuse charity with condescension. The result is distinctively articulate, witty, gently surreal and hilariously sarcastic. But as well as parodying these misguided teens, Stillman clearly has great sympathy for them. It's good to have him back.
Avengers Assemble (12A)
(Joss Whedon, 2012, Us) Samuel L Jackson, Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson. 142 mins
Considering the lack of leeway Whedon had with this superhero juggernaut, he pulls off a remarkable feat, keeping all the plates spinning with as much irony as he can get away with. It descends into a numbing effects orgy, but it's fast and fun along the way.
Albert Nobbs (15)
(Rodrigo García, 2011, UK/Ire) Glenn Close, Mia Wasikowska. 113 mins
Close's committed performance anchors this »

Spirit Camera Retrospective: 976-evil
26 April 2012 9:00 PM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
With the release of the Nintendo 3Ds title Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, Shock will be rolling out a series of retrospectives that look at tales of terror that tie together technology and horror. Games, cameras, phones, computers, televisions...you name it.
Hoax is a socially awkward teenager. His overbearing mother makes his already strained social interactions even more challenging. Hoax begins calling a horror-scope line for kicks and what seems like good advice. This is bad news for Hoax but good news for Satan.
I’ve never been a big fan of 976-Evil. It’s the kind of movie I will put on when there’s nothing on TV and I’m sick of every other movie in my film library. I don’t hate it. I just really don’t care too much for it. The premise is good. If executed with greater prowess, I think it could have been great. »
Movies That Might Have Been - Batman Triumphant
26 April 2012 4:51 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Gary Collinson ponders the fate of the Dark Knight had the stars aligned differently in Movies That Might Have Been...
What We Got…
Having produced four Batman movies in the space of eight years, Warner Bros. found their lucrative feature film series lying in tatters following the disastrous release of the Joel Schumacher-directed sequel Batman & Robin in the summer of 1997. Despite turning a profit, the overtly toyetic, neon-soaked abomination met with a deservedly hostile reception from fans, critics and audiences alike, and it was clear to all and sundry that the ailing franchise was in desperate need of an overhaul. However, due to the fall-out from Batman & Robin, it would take another eight years for that to be achieved...
Succeeding where the likes of Boaz Yakin (Remember the Titans), Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream) and Wolfgang Peterson (A Perfect Storm) had all failed was Christopher Nolan – an up-and-coming »

Film Review: 'Strippers vs Werewolves'
26 April 2012 2:00 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ It's probably unwise to analyse films like Strippers vs Werewolves (2012) too closely. Peel away the gimmicky editing (which is effective in a naive comic-book way), and what's left of this British produced horror-comedy from director Jonathan Glendening (responsible for the recent horror release Night Wolf (2012)) lacks any real guts. Starring Robert Englund, Steven Berkoff and newcomer Martin Compston, the presence of such stalwarts is really all that's of interest in this amateur tale of Lycanthrope activities in London's clubland.

To celebrate the release of the prolific Elm Street documentary Never Sleep Again, My colleague and horrorphile Zak Hepburn recently had the chance to have a discussion with Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) about his thoughts on it. Zak was kind enough to share this excellent and exhaustive (the man can talk!) session with me and Twitch, so read on folks... Never Sleep Again is out on DVD in Australia the 23rd of May from Eagle Entertainment. Freddy Krueger; the child killing, dream stalking horror culture icon is the centre piece of the four hour documentary Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy.

Strippers Vs Werewolves Review
23 April 2012 1:58 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Jonathan Glendening
Cast: Adele Silva, Barbara Nedeljakova, Billy Murray, Martin Compston, Ali Bastian, Robert Englund
Running time: 93 minutes
Certificate: 15
Synopsis: When stripper Justice (Silva) accidentally kills a werewolf, his ‘pack’ head to her club for revenge. Justice and her girls prepare to do battle, but what she doesn’t know is that her boyfriend Scott (Compston) is one of the bloodthirsty lycanthropes…
It would be easy to assume that a film entitled Strippers Vs Werewolves would – to coin the old cliché – do what it says on the tin. How curious then, that the last effort from the now-defunct Black and Blue Films should be surprisingly light on stripper-werewolf action. Unfortunately, this is not the only vital ingredient missing from the horror-comedy, most notably both horror and comedy…
That the film is short of scares is not the its biggest flaw however. Any film titled Strippers Vs Werewolves is sure »

'The Mummy' Gets Brand New Universal Reboot
5 April 2012 10:33 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
The studio that brought us classic monster movies during the 1930s to the late 1940s has been resurrecting their fearless creatures for remakes like 2010's "The Wolfman" starring Benicio del Toro and Anthony Hopkins. Now, Variety brings news that the studio wants to reboot their "Mummy" franchise (again!), and they've hired "Prometheus" writer Jon Spaihts to pen the feature.
You probably remember the 1990's take on "The Mummy" starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. "The Scorpion King" was the 2002 spin-off starring then action newb Dwayne Johnson, which saw equal success. Fraser made his way back to the story in 2008's "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," which raked in $401 million worldwide. Judging by the numbers, the studio feels there is still life left in the ancient corpse. So where does scribe Spaihts want to take things?

Robert Englund is one of the most recognizable names in the horror biz, credited for being the first "modern day" horror star of our generation, he's best known among horror fans for playing the fictional serial killer Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Streets series.

Robert Englund on the Nightmare Remake and Unproduced Prequel

At age 65 Robert Englund has pretty much done it all in the business, including helping to create an iconic character that people will be fearing for generations to come alongside heavyweights like Dracula and Frankenstein's monster.
Recently the actor sat down with our friends at MovieHole to talk about two very interesting subjects - the Nightmare on Elm Street prequel that never was and the reasoning behind why he chose not to don the make-up for the Platinum Dunes remake.
"There was a great kind of 'Portrait of a Serial Killer' kind of docudrama script around, where you see Freddy and his first kills and the courtroom scenes where these really horrible, terrible lawyers keep getting him off; great corrupt lawyers getting him off and then the vigilante parents. Finally in the climax, burning him alive, and maybe you see him manifest, and show up on Elm Street at the very end, »

After seeing the extremely warm reception Robert Englund’s work on the Nightmare on elm Street franchise drew via my “Top 10 Robert Englund” piece, I knew had to revisit the past. So, let’s take it back to the days of old, before Jackie Earle Haley donned the chilling visage. The original Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) is one of horror’s most iconic figures; plain and simple. The hideous past, the hideous face, the easily anticipated, but humorous one-liners, they’ve all helped to create a star that continues to shine today. »

During a recent interview, Robert Englund provides details on the aborted A Nightmare on Elm Street prequel and talks about handing off the role of Freddy for the remake. A Nightmare on Elm Street prequel was something that was often talked about, but never saw the light of day. While talking to Moviehole, Robert Englund gives details on what we would have seen:
“There was a great kind of ‘Portrait of a Serial Killer’ kind of docudrama script around, where you see Freddy and his first kills and the courtroom scenes where these really horrible, terrible lawyers keep getting him off; great corrupt lawyers getting him off and then the vigilante parents. Finally in the climax, burning him alive, and maybe you see him manifest, and show up on Elm Street at the very end, where his sort of revenge, reign of terror would be hinted at.”

Tonight on Criminal Minds: Matthew Gray Gubler Directs (Sneak Peek)
Matthew Gray Gubler has stepped behind the Criminal Minds camera once again as he directed tonight's episode "Heathridge Manor." The team heads to Oregon to investigate what appears to be a series of ritualistic murders; these crimes center around a now abandoned asylum that treated the criminally insane. Tonight's guest stars are from suitably creepy previous projects; Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) is playing Detective Gassner who is assisting the Bau and Juliet Landau (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is taking the Drusilla approach as psychiatric patient Catherine Heathridge.
What the team find is evidence of tactics that were used during the Salem Witch Trials, including how the bodies have been dressed; what links this old asylum with this time in history? What we do know is that a brother and sister are suffering from delusions that their »
