Icons Exclusive Interview: Director Darren Lynn Bousman
11 May 2012 9:46 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
*Editor’s note: This interview originally appeared on Icons Of Fright’s sister site Massive Hysteria back in September of 2010. With this week’s DVD/Blu-Ray releases of both Mother’S Day and 11-11-11, we thought we’d present it again to the Icons audience completely unedited and uncut. Check it!
Considering director Darren Lynn Bousman’s impressive body of work, which spans over 3 Saw sequels, the crazy rock musical Repo! The Genetic Opera, an episode of NBC’s short lived Fear Itself TV series and the upcoming remake of Mother’S Day, it’s a surprise that we never got him in the hot seat for an extensive Icons Of Fright interview. So, with the launch of Massive Hysteria, we decided that he would make for the ideal interviewee to kick things off in style!
Bousman invited Mh over to his place for our career spanning lengthy chat, »

Annette Bourdeau: When Fictional Cult Leaders Make Us Believe
3 May 2012 1:01 PM, PDT | Aol TV. | See recent Aol TV. news »
Ah, cult leaders. So evil. So persuasive. Such great fodder for movie and TV characters! Cult leaders (and the hapless souls who follow them) have proven to be endlessly fascinating -- both on-screen and in real life. Remember when the Waco siege in the early '90s made David Koresh a notorious household name? People just couldn't learn enough about this nerdy dude who convinced dozens of devout followers that he was a true prophet.
It's easy to wonder how one person (or, in some cases a small group) can talk others into a blind adoration. That's probably why cults are such popular subject matter for the big and small screen alike. Last year, we saw a psycho hippie cult leader creep out Elizabeth Olsen in Marcy Martha May Marlene. Another cult-focused flick, Sound of My Voice, has been generating buzz since it opened at Sundance. The movie, which is opening in limited release now, »

There is Something Lurking in The Fields: A Movie Review
14 March 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
*full disclosure: a screener of this film was provided by Breaking Glass Pictures.
Directors: Tom Mattera, and David Mazzoni.
Writer: Harrison Smith.
Cast: Tara Reid, Cloris Leachman and Brian Anthony Wilson.
Horror films and films in general have been set in cornfields for generations. From the original Children of the Corn (1984) to Jeepers Creepers II (2003) and more recently in The Maze (2011), cornfields can fill the viewer with dread. There is just no way to find your way out once in head height stalks. In The Fields, the cornfields host a supernatural force whose purpose is both malicious and purposeful. The one chosen to resolve this tension is Steven (Joshua Ormond) and with a 10 year old character leading the charge, you just never know what is real and what is imagination.
The story begins with the protagonist Steven and his bickering parents. There are stresses involving infidelity and violence with Steven »

Glasgow Frightfest 2012 Review: Rites of Spring
26 February 2012 2:32 PM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Anessa Ramsey, Aj Bowen, Katherine Randolph, Sonny Marinelli | Written and Directed by Padraig Reynolds
In the spring of 1984 five teenagers went missing including Mississippi Beauty Queen Tara Grinstead. Then suddenly, the disappearances stopped. But the following spring it began again with the vanishing of a string of young girls, most notably Wendy Mullins, honours student and valedictorian of her graduating class. For the next 24 years the disappearances continued. No bodies were ever recovered.
Flash forward to 2008 and after a night out drowning her work-related sorrows, Rachel and her friend are drugged and taken captive by a strange old man right in the parking lot. At the same time a group of kidnappers hatch a plan to take and ransom the daughter of a wealthy industrialist. However their plan goes awry, and not just because one of the gang plans to double-cross his fellow kidnappers…

Doctor Gash's Tip of the Scalpel: A Tribute to Stephen King Part 1
23 February 2012 10:05 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it?"
"The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a tellar but for want of an understanding ear.”
This is one of my favorite quotes. »

First Look at UK Thriller Community
5 February 2012 11:01 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The UK-based psychological horror film Community is nearly wrapped and ready to get your skin crawling. The trailers look slick with some interesting characters trapped in a morbid, deadly situation. This tale of the Drayman Estate urban legend is filled with drug addiction, murderous children and scenes of brutal violence. Sounds like a Gash family reunion.
Community definitely feels like a modern, urban version of Children of the Corn. The adults are doped out of their minds, and the kids are running rampant. No word yet if one of the characters is named Malachi or not, but if one is, be sure to watch Community with the lights on. The film is written and directed by Jason Ford.
Community stars Jemma Dallender, Elliott Jordan, Paul McNeilly, Terry Bird and Oliver Stark. Take a look at the creepy trailers below, and then head over to the Community Facebook page and give »

The Secret Circle 1.13 Review - Psyched!

The Secret Circle 1.13 Review - Psyched!
The Secret Circle returned with new episodes for February sweeps and boy they did not disappoint. We gained more pieces to the overall mythology puzzle, saw what danger lied ahead for the Circle, and our beloved characters got some closure while opening up a few doors in the process.
Psyched!
Cassie was duped again by someone who claimed they wanted to help Cassie and the Circle. By this time, you would think the newbie witch would have learned her lesson when it comes to people, especially adults, who want to help her (or the Circle) with their powers. However, Lucy Gibbons (the psychic/traitor) had a tricky way of sneaking into Cassie's trust in the form of the memory spell of the boat incident. I'm glad the writers didn't wait a long time to return to that puzzling moment in "Witness," because not only »

Foxes trap a couple on an empty housing estate (trailer)
21 January 2012 10:47 AM, PST | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
The first thing I thought of was Children of the Corn, with Foxes. A couple is trapped in an estate of empty houses, surrounded by twilight and shrieking foxes. The cinematography is appropriately atmospheric and absolutely stunning. Directed by Lorcan Finnegan, Foxes is funded by the Irish Film Board and I'm betting this is going to garner some serious festival interest along with talks of a possible feature. This is one to keep an eye on.

Where Are They Now? The Kids of Horror Flicks
18 January 2012 10:00 AM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Child stars get a tough rap. With headline-grabbing trainwrecks like Lindsay Lohan and the kids from Differn't Strokes, it's not surprising that kids in the spotlight have a tough time of it. Some make it through without any major missteps; others shun the spotlight all together. We take a look at five horror kids - and where they are now. John Franklin - Isaac in Children of the Corn (1984) As Isaac in Children of the Corn, John Franklin (then in his 20s) played the leader of a cult of kids who believed that adults needed to be sacrificed to "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" in order to ensure a bountiful harvest. This was John's first feature role. He had a smattering of roles since that first film »
Retro Active: Who Can Kill a Child? (1976)
12 January 2012 4:17 PM, PST | GreenCine Daily | See recent GreenCine Daily news »
by Nick Schager
What's new is always old, and in this recurring column, I'll be taking a look at the classic genre movies that have influenced today's new releases. In honor of Lynne Ramsay's creepy-kid drama We Need to Talk About Kevin, this week it's Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's cult classic Who Can Kill a Child?
Violence is a dangerous inheritance in Who Can Kill a Child?, Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's haunting 1976 horror story about childhood malice and adults' compromised response to it. Based on Juan José Plans' novel, and spiritually emulated a year later by Stephen King's Children of the Corn, Serrador's film opens with a grim newsreel-montage credit sequence of atrocities from WWII, the India-Pakistan and Nigerian civil wars, and Korea and Vietnam, with a narrator and onscreen text taking great pains to lay out the hundreds of thousands of kid casualties in each conflict.
