17 May 2013 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
Memento Films International are ramping up a new prequel and a sequel to Jim Mickle's upcoming remake of 'We Are What We Are'. Yup, without the English-language redo even gracing theatres yet it seems a planned trilogy of sorts is high on the agenda giving tremendous faith in Mickle's project which screen's during this week Cannes festival. The prequel is set to be named 'What We Were' and will be directed by Finnish helmer Aj Annila and penned by Nick Damici ('Stake Land'). The project will begin shooting in 2014. The upcoming remake stars Kelly McGillis, Odeya Rush, Ambyr Childers, Michael Parks ('Red State'), Wyatt Russell, Julia Garner and Bill Sage. 'We Are What We Are' is based on the original Mexican cannibalistic horror thriller 'Somos lo que hay' from writer/director Jorge Michel Grau which was released back in 2010. Grau himself will tackle the planned sequel. »

We Are What We Are is being shown off at Cannes and we have a new clip from the upcoming cannibal movie. The film was directed by Jim Mickle, who previously helmed Stake Land and Mulberry Street, and premiered as part of the Sundance Midnight selection.
“A seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank rules the roost with a rigorous fervor, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost. As a torrential rainstorm moves into the area, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris and Rose are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family. The most important task the girls face is putting meat on the table— but not the kind that can be found at the local supermarket. As the unrelenting downpour continues to flood their small town, local »

Robert Rodriguez developing From Dusk Till Dawn TV series
16 May 2013 4:08 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
It looks like the bloodsuckers of True Blood and The Vampire Diaries will be getting some competition on the small screen. We've already seen the first trailer for NBC's upcoming 10-part Dracula 'retelling' earlier this week, and now Deadline has revealed that Robert Rodriguez's El Ray Network is to partner up with Univision Networks for a TV series based upon From Dusk Till Dawn.
Directed by Rodriguez from a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino, From Dusk Till Dawn was released in 1996 and starred George Clooney and Tarantino as two outlaw brothers who kidnap a family (Harvey Keitel, Juliette Lewis and Ernest Liu) en route to Mexico, where they happen upon a bunch of bloodthirsty vampires at a remote brothel called the Titty Twister. The film also featured Salma Hayek, Cheech Marin, Tom Savini, Danny Trejo and Michael Parks, and went on to spawn two direct-to-video follow-ups, From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money »

Movie Review: 'The Town That Dreaded Sundown' Blu-Ray
15 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
"Based on actual events" is a phrase you'll hear in a lot of movie trailers and see emblazoned across endless horror movie posters, but the truth about the "truth" is this: it's bullshit. For example, both Psycho's Norman Bates and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface claim to be "loosely based" on the notorious monster known as Ed Gein. So while it's probably true that the writers of both stories used their knowledge of Ed Gein to create a creepy villain, it's not like either film is a re-telling of the actual Ed Gein story. (For that you'll want to check out 1974's Deranged.)
And most "based on actual events" horror movies lack even the tangential connection that Psycho and Chainsaw do: someone once heard about a terrible exorcism gone wrong in South America, and voila: instant "fact-based" horror movie. That's not to say the statement is outright marketing b. »

Quentin Tarantino is 50, Let's Rank His First Eight Movies
27 March 2013 1:26 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Today, March 27, 2013, Quentin Tarantino turns 50-years-old. To celebrate, I figured why not take a look back at the eight films he's given us over the last 21 years, from Reservoir Dogs to Django Unchained, and do a quick ranking of the lot. I actually did this four years ago, just prior to the release of Inglourious Basterds and the ranking has changed a bit, though I have to say right now, there isn't a single Tarantino film I do not enjoy. The man has a way of tapping into exactly the kind of stories I find immensely entertaining and his visual style, use of music and affection for dialogue (as long-winded as he may be) is something I can't help but love and look forward to whatever it is he may deliver next. That said, let's dive in and see what's left on the other end... #8 Death Proof Photo: Dimension Films »

See Jack Kirby's Concept Art the CIA Used to Fake 'Argo'
25 February 2013 12:00 PM, PST | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
We lost American comic book legend Jack Kirby, whose artworks have influenced generations of comic book nerds (professional artists included) in the 1990s, but actor Michael Parks recently portrayed the artist in the Oscar-winning film Argo. Based on the Iran hostage crisis in '79 and '80, the film follows how the CIA used a fake sci-fi movie to rescue U.S. diplomats in Tehran. The legendary Kirby's concept art was used to add a realistic addition to the CIA's cover plan. We've shared several of the artworks below. If they look familiar, that's because we touched upon them when we mentioned the Kickstarter project Science Fiction Land a few months ago. The upcoming, crowd-funded documentary digs into the real story behind Argo the film, and Kirby's...

Exclusive Interview - Jim Mickle Explains Why ‘We Are What We Are’
29 January 2013 1:00 PM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Mulberry Street and Stake Land director Jim Mickle came to Park City this year with his third film, a remake of 2010’s We Are What We Are and walked out of Sundance with a deal to release the critically-acclaimed work nationwide. Premiering at midnight on the first full day of the fest, We Are What We Are was instantly acclaimed and marks a notable growth in style and ability by its talented creator. Starring Ambyr Childers, Julia Garner, Bill Sage, Michael Parks, Wyatt Russell, and Kelly McGillis, We Are is the story of a family of cannibals but it’s not the blood-and-guts extravaganza you may be expecting. With an eye for composition that reminds one of Guillermo Del Toro’s horror films and a strong vein of surreal tension a la David Lynch, this is one of the most memorable scary movies to premiere at Sundance in years.

It Is What It Is: Mickle’s Latest a Subpar Remake
Director Jim Mickle’s latest, We Are What We Are, is a remake of the excellent 2010 debut from Mexican director Jorge Michel Grau, where a family of urban cannibals struggles to continue on with its precarious rituals after its patriarch unexpectedly dies. Unfortunately, in his attempt to put his own stamp on the morose material, Mickle gracelessly butchers the previous film’s subtle commentaries on socioeconomics and dangerous patriarchal traditions and instead gives us a half-baked exercise that only becomes more strangely ridiculous as it tries to explain itself with some B cheapie writing flourishes in its second half.
In rural Upstate New York, the Parker clan has kept to themselves, isolated from their fellow community members, regarded as a bit strange but hardly dangerous. When a torrential rainstorm hits the area, Emma Parker (Kassie Depaiva) unexpectedly dies, leaving »
