‘The House By the Cemetery’ Finds Lucio Fulci Scaring Up Gory Thrills and Unintentional Laughs With Blood, Boobs and Bats
18 May 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
The Italian cinema scene has felt a bit tepid in recent years with only the occasional title making waves internationally, but once upon a time the country was a movie-making powerhouse. One of its biggest areas of export throughout the 7’0s and 80s was the horror genre with big names like Dario Argento, Mario Bava and Lucio Fulci churning out stylish frightfests oozing atmosphere and gore. Like all things they varied in quality, but the films were rarely less than entertaining. Fulci was easily one of the most prolific of the bunch often filming and releasing two to three movies per year. That pace continued through his final film in 1991, but his commercial and creative peak was arguably the early ’80s. The House By the Cemetery is sometimes referred to as the third in Fulci’s apocalyptic horror trilogy alongside City Of the Living Dead and The Beyond (reviewed by me here and here).

Blu-ray Review: The House by the Cemetery
6 May 2012 1:03 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Catriona MacColl, Paolo Malco, Ania Pieroni, Giovanni Frezza, Giovanni De Nava | Written by Lucio Fulci, Giorgio Mariuzzo, Dardano Sacchetti | Directed by Lucio Fulci
Lucio Fulci sure had a way with films, especially his “Gates of Hell” trilogy. Arrow Video now complete their Blu-Ray release of the trilogy with The House by the Cemetery (the other two being City of the Living Dead and The Beyond) and what a release. With an excellent picture quality and a disk full of extras this could arguably be the best way to experience the film, other than on the big screen of course.
The House by the Cemetery starts off by throwing blood and gore at you then changes tone with a Shining style warning to a boy from a picture of a little girl at the window of the titular house not to enter it. In a »

Review: City of the Living Dead (Blu-ray)
17 April 2012 8:49 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Also known under the title The Gates of Hell, this 1980 film has Catriona MacColl as a psychic named Mary Woodhouse (a reference to Rosemary’s Baby perhaps?) and Christopher George playing a reporter named Peter Bell. During a séance, Mary has a vision of a priest that commits suicide and the opening of a gateway to hell.
She must find a way to close it before a full-blown zombie apocalypse takes place, and teams up with Peter to find the location of the priest’s death. The two race toward the inevitable showdown with the living dead, and in a nod to H.P. Lovecraft, Fulci has the priest commit suicide in a cemetery in the small New England town of Dunwich.
Typical of any film by Fulci, there will be two things: a plot that moves about as fast as the walking dead and at least fifteen zooms into gratuitous gore. »

Review: The House by the Cemetery (Blu-ray)
14 March 2012 8:34 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Lucio Fulci’s The House by the Cemetery (Quella villa accanto al cimitero) is a wrap to a loosely connected trilogy of films regarding the boundaries between the living and the dead, and Catriona MacColl is in all three.
In The Gates of Hell, a priest’s suicide unleashes a zombie apocalypse. The Beyond is about an old estate in Louisiana, which is discovered to harbor one of the gateways to hell. And lastly, in this film, a family is haunted by the undead owner of their new home.
Catriona MacColl and Paolo Malco play a couple, Lucy and Norman Boyle, who move to a small town in Massachusetts so Norman can complete the research of a colleague who committed suicide. Naturally, the couple goes to live with their son Bob in the same house the man committed suicide in. The house was built and inhabited originally by a Dr. »

‘Season of the Dead’ – Zombies invade the Horror channel
13 March 2012 9:31 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Horror Channel have announced a double bill season of brain-munching zombie movies. Including five UK TV premieres. Rising up from the Friday 6th April are a putrid plethora of zombie movies, both contemporary and classic, celebrating the popularity of one of the genre’s most enduring archetypal villains. The season reflects the diverse range of metaphors these ungodly creatures represent – from the breakdown of society to our addiction to consumerism and taste for the military.
6th April @ 22:55 – Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
The season kicks off with the genre classic, George Romero’s Night Of The Living Dead. It’s 1968 and America watches horrified as grimy black and white news footage from Vietnam reveals the true monsters in this world – us. It was this political backdrop that spurred Romero to make his ground-breaking movie, harnessing the horror of watching a national disaster unfold on the news – before it comes »

New italian giallo ‘Tulpa’ begins five-week shoot in Rome
5 March 2012 8:10 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Italian production company Idf, owned by actress Maria Grazia Cucinotta (Il Postino) has begun principal photography on Federico Zampaglione’s eagerly-awaited third feature, Tulpa.
Award-winning actress Claudia Gerini, who has just completed a leading role as Marie Cecile in Christopher Smith’s TV adaptation of Labyrinth, stars as Lisa Boeri, a respectable and upwardly mobile businesswoman who, by night, frequents the notorious sex club ‘Tulpa’ in search of dangerous forms of pleasure. When her lovers start getting murdered in horrible ways, to avoid a personal scandal, she tries to deal with it herself with truly nightmare consequences. Tulpa also stars Michele Placido (Romanzo Criminale), one of Italy’s most renowned actors/directors, alongside Nuot Arquint (Shadow) and Michela Cescon (Sacred Heart).
Federico, who is described as Italy’s Rob Zombie, said today:
I’m very excited to start shooting Tulpa, but I’m aware it’s a very difficult film to make, »

New Images and an Update on Federico Zampaglione's Tulpa
24 February 2012 4:23 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
It's been close to a year since we've had any sort of update on Federico Zampaglione's Tulpa, but today we have a few screenshots and more to share on the Italian Giallo homage, which begins a five-week shoot in Rome on March 5th.
First, however, on February 25th Zampaglione will screen the opening sequence of Tulpa in Glasgow at the Film4 Frightfest.
Tulpa is based on a treatment penned by Dardano Sacchetti (The Cat o' Nine Tails, A Bay of Blood, City of the Living Dead and many more masterpieces) and then developed by Federico Zampaglione with Giacomo Gensini.
The film, which promises a lot of extreme gruesome death scenes, is about Lisa Boeri (Claudia Gerini), a rich businesswoman totally devoted to her work. She is alone, without any serious relationship, and while during the day she is almost a cold money machine, at night she becomes another person. Every »

Rachel Kneebone: Regarding Rodin Brooklyn Museum Through August 12, 2012
Vitruvius, in The Ten Books on Architecture, proposed that the perfected form of the human body could be diagrammed by being placed inside both a circle and a square. Though he himself did not provide illustrations, Leonardo da Vinci made a drawing demonstrating this proposition to illustrate Paciolio's On Divine Proportion (1509). This was more than a geometric exercise, as Vitruvius imbued the square and the circle with divine attributes: the circle represented the cosmos and the square, those things secular. In the Middle Ages, artists painted the crucifixion both as a representation of Christ's divinity as well as his incarnation as an earthly being. Five hundred years later, August Rodin upended many of these concepts regarding the proportion and deportment of the figure in sculpture with his monumental The Gates of Hell and Monument to Balzac.

'The Theatre Bizarre' Review
30 January 2012 5:08 PM, PST | MoreHorror | See recent MoreHorror news »
by Colleen Wanglund, MoreHorror.com
While I’ve seen more than a few indie horror anthologies of late—some good, others forgettable—the anthology film seems to be making a comeback. Like the classic George Romero/Stephen King Creepshow (1982) and the impending The ABCs Of Death due out later this year, The Theatre Bizarre (2011) is one of those films that lives up to its buzz….and fans’ expectations. Six shorts linked by framing scenes make up The Theatre Bizarre, a film being distributed by Severin Films.
The film’s opening and framing segments, directed by Jeremy Kasten (Wizard Of Gore {2007}) titled “Theatre Guignol” star the wonderfully bizarre Udo Kier as a life-size marionette and story teller in an abandoned theater. Virginia Newcomb plays a young woman obsessed with the old theater, who sneaks into it one fateful night to hear the strange stories. Throughout the segments are a cast of weird, »

Witchcraft Resurfaces in a Planned Remake of The City of the Dead (aka Horror Hotel)
27 January 2012 10:08 AM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Not be confused with Lucio Fulci’s “City of the Living Dead” (aka “The Gates of Hell” in the Us) or Umberto Lenzi’s similarly sounding “Nightmare City” (aka “City of the Walking Dead” in the Us), this is actually the 1960 supernatural thriller “The City of the Dead” by John Llewellyn Moxey. Got that? Good. Now, moving on… Pillay-Evans Productions has announced today that they’ve teamed up with producer Adam Stephen Kelly to develop a remake of the Moxey film, which is also known as “Horror Hotel” in the States. The remake will be directed by S.J. Evans (“Dead of the Nite”), who promises: The remake of The City Of The Dead will stay true to the original and concentrate on atmosphere and good old fashioned storytelling, instead of relying on gore or CGI to move the plot along. I grew up watching the classic Universal horrors and was »

Daily Briefing. La Cava, Fulci, Franju
27 January 2012 9:15 AM, PST | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Gregory La Cava and Irene Dunne
"An extraordinary movie is being screened at Anthology Film Archives [today] through Sunday," writes the New Yorker's Richard Brody: "Unfinished Business, a bitterly passionate romantic drama with a relentless comic tone, from 1941, starring Irene Dunne and Robert Montgomery and directed by Gregory La Cava. It's part of the ongoing series Stuck on the Second Tier: Underknown Auteurs, programmed by Miriam Bale, and you can't get it on home video." And it's "a minor masterwork of performance, direction, and screenwriting."
Unknown Auteurs is actually a set of series running at various locations in New York, with Anthology focusing on La Cava; the Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of the Moving Image, for example, will have other editions soon, but for now, Michael Rawls has an overview of the La Cava selections in Cinespect and David Cairns wrote about Unfinished Business here in the Notebook yesterday. »

An avid podcast listener (like me) could hardly stumble across better news today than this fresh item from the Zellner Bros: "Mike Plante has great taste and a vast knowledge of film. His venture Cinemad has been many wonderful things; a zine, a blog, a DVD almanac, a distributor and podcast. His latest podcast installment interviews the Zb's, hopefully we did it justice. A lot of important issues were covered from Sasquatches to Salo to Chuck Berry."
What's more, this is Cinemad's sixth podcast and, as it happens, for nearly every one of them, there's a relevant upcoming event worth noting. David and Nathan Zellner's new feature, Kid-Thing, for example, will be making its premiere at Sundance in a few weeks. As for the other five:
Nina Menkes. We've got a cinema devoted to her films even now; its virtual doors are open through July.
