Fantastic Fest 09: Fear The Children

5 October 2009 9:24 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

You might want to re-think having kids after seeing the British horror film The Children, directed by Tom Shankland. It’s certainly the best advertisement for contraception ever committed to celluloid, firmly moving past former reigning champion of the terrorizing-tots subgenre Devil Times Five (1975), starring Leif Garrett. In fact, it’s a note-perfect and, dare I say, masterful entry into the genre as a whole and one of the clear standouts at this year’s Fantastic Fest.

The idyllic Norman Rockwell-esque house where a pair of charming young British families go to spend quality time together over the Christmas holidays is slowly revealed to be a ruse of sorts, as we start to see their relationships play out on screen. Once their kids begin exhibiting strange behavior, screaming wildly and grabbing the nearest sharp objects, the character dynamics play out in an unexpected ways as the strangeness suddenly turns to tragedy. »

Cjamango

Sergio Corbucci's Django revolutionised the Spaghetti Western genre in many ways. The low-budget retelling of Sergio Leone's A Fistful of Dollars – itself a remake of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo – ramped up the violence, the amorality, the bloodletting and the insanity factor to an unprecedented scale, spawning a glut of rip-offs, cash-ins and unofficial sequels of varying degrees of quality. It also, quite unintentionally, began a trend for titular heroes whose names ended in the letter 'o' and when said quickly enough could possibly be mistaken for Django.

There was Anthony Steffen - the Spaghetti Western standard-bearer, himself no stranger to playing Django - starring as the main man in both Garringo and Shango. 'Sword and Sandal' star Brad Harris as the fast gun in Durango is Coming, Pay or Die. Montgomery Clark (Dante Posani) as the gambling gunslinger in Djurado and Ivan Rassimov in this, 1967's Cjamango. »

Jonas Brothers Film Flop: Beginning of the End?

2 March 2009 2:59 PM, PST | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience has proven to be a less-than-rocking box-office experience, with its $12.5 million over last weekend landing far behind Madea Goes to Jail, a film starring a man dressed as a middle-aged black woman. Who goes to jail. What does it mean? Could the lack of audience response indicate that the Jonas phenomenon is over, and that the three lovable lads can take their zesty pop tunes and purity rings and reserve a seat on the has-been bus to nowhere alongside Hanson, 'N Sync and Leif Garrett. Is it all downhill from here? Tell us what you think. null »
