A Woman Under The Influence Review Pt.2: Gena Rowlands Madness Unconvincing

8 December 2011 11:42 AM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Gena Rowlands in John Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence A Woman Under The Influence Review Pt.1 Eventually, Mabel's eccentricities — her chattiness, her nervous ticks, her habit of talking to herself — are seen as severe mental problems. Nick's mother (Katherine Cassavetes, the filmmaker's real-life mother), fearing for the safety of her son and grandchildren, wants Mabel sent to a mental institution. Nick eventually acquiesces and has his wife committed for several months. When Mabel returns, she's a mere shadow of the woman she used to be. Gone are her chattiness, her eccentricities — and her personality. In his own inarticulate, boorish manner, Nick tries to get his wife to return to the way she used to be. Throughout it all, Gena Rowlands telegraphs her encroaching madness by proportionally increasing her number of ticks, grimaces, and half-smiles. (Rowlands and John Cassavetes should have taken a good look at Ingmar Bergman's Through »

Bloodfest Club is Coming! Check out the Trailer!

20 June 2011 7:07 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

Anyone who saw the Late Night Grindhouse screening of Hobo With A Shotgun at The Hi-Pointe Theater a couple of weeks ago saw the big-screen premiere of the trailer for Bloodfest Club that played before the feature. Bloodfest Club exists at this time only as a trailer, but the filmmakers are hoping the positive buzz the trailer is generating will help raise money to finance a feature-length version of the film. Bloodfest Club will be the second film from the writing team of Oscar Madrid and Jim Ousley. Their first, Hooch & Daddy-o, was an award-winning mock documentary (available on Netflix). about a fictional 80′s cop show directed in 2005 by Donna Northcott (who directed the recent Abominable Dr. Phibes stage show that was part of Vincentennial). Bloodfest Club will mark the directorial debut of Madrid and stars writer Ousley as Sonny Kane, a slow-witted, Chuck Norris-obsessed janitor at a High »

The Director Of The Backwoods Returns With Perros Muertos

5 April 2011 3:21 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

Spanish director Koldo Serra received a lot of love in these pages with his debut film, The Backwoods. A dark thriller starring Gary Oldman and Paddy Considine the film was dumped to DVD and left largely unsupported in North America but it made fans of us here and while Serra has kept busy in television since we've been waiting for his return to features.And here it is. Perros Muertos - literally Dead Dogs - is an upcoming Spanish language horror picture from Serra. Early on I was told that - true to the title - there were zombie dogs in the film somewhere but what we get in the freshly released trailer is children. A bunch of 'em. And they don't look happy.Check the »

It's a zombie children standoff in Dead Perros (aka Perros Muertos) teaser

5 April 2011 1:37 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

According to DC, Koldo Serra's Dead Perros is like "From Dusk Till Dawn meets Spanish B movies -- especially the 70s-80s sub-genre of "quinqui" movies, featuring mop-haired, drug-addled criminals, still only in their teens." Sounds cool, but unfortunately we're not seeing that in the film's first teaser trailer. There's more spaghetti western going on here I think.

Synopsis:

"Perros" has a petty criminal, Cocacolo, pulling a Barcelona bank job and fleeing south, just as a family leaves Northern Spain for holidays. The motley group join together in the Spanish countryside to battle a zombie outbreak sparked by the locals' consumption of adulterated rapeseed oil.

More coming in from Koldo Serra's Dead Perros (aka Perros Muertos), and it's not just a couple of quick announcements or minor updates. We're talking eye candy and a trailer, folks! Just in time for lunch!

Serra co-wrote Perros with Carlos Garcia Miranda, who penned smash hit TV skein "El Internado". It stars Spanish heartthrob Hugo Silva. Nava said Perros plays like From Dusk Till Dawn meets Spanish B-movies -- especially the 70s-80s sub-genre of "quinqui" movies, featuring mop-haired, drug-addled criminals, still only in their teens. According to Nava, the budget is around E4 million ($5.6 million).

Dig on the plot crunch -- Perros has a petty criminal, Cocacolo, pulling a Barcelona bank job and fleeing south, just as a family leaves Northern Spain for holidays.

Insidious review

4 April 2011 9:00 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Lots of 70s haunted house movies were watched before Insidious went into production, it seems. It helps, too, says Ron in his review...

On the surface, the Lambert family has it all. Father, Josh (Patrick Wilson), is a successful teacher; mother, Renai (Rose Byrne), is a songwriter. They have three children and have just moved into a large old house. Things are going great, except for a few little problems. Dalton (Ty Simpkins) is exploring the attic when he falls, bumps his head, and slips into a coma the following day, despite not having any serious injuries. As if that wasn't bad enough, Renai keeps seeing demons and ghosts in their house. And I thought termites were the worst thing you could find in a house you just bought!

There's a family move to a new house, but as it turns out, the Lamberts' problems don't stay at the old residence. »

Actor Brendan Parry Kaufmann Talks Aussie Horror

7 January 2011 6:14 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Dread Central recently had an opportunity to chat with actor Brendan Parry Kaufmann about the Australian film industry and particularly Aussie horror. Brendan's resume lists his performance skills as ranging from firearms handler to improvisation, comedy, and hosting along with voiceover talents and stage combat.

I can say it was one of the more interesting and amusing interviews I've done in some time!

El: Thank you for taking time to talk with us, Brendan. First off, how about a bit on you and your acting background?

Bpk: Thank you, Elaine – and thank you to all of your readers, who've supported Australian films with their patronage.

I came to acting reasonably recently, and a little later in life. I was originally a musician, though I had done a bit of theatre here and there. I've done a couple of feature films, some television, theatre, and many, many short and experimental films. »
