The bullying of ‘Bully,’ and other musings on screen violence
24 May 2012 1:44 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
And so, the war over The Weinstein Company’s provocative documentary, Bully, ends – to use an exhausted cliché – not with a bang, but with a whimper. Since its release at the end of March, the doc has grossed approximately $3 million; not bad for a reality piece, and, measured against the flick’s $1.1 million budget, it means TWC will go home with some money in its pocket. But considering the thundering opening bombardments which accompanied the film’s debut, it’s hard not to look at that sum as a bit of a disappointment. After all, Disney’s warm and cuddly and topically irrelevant doc Chimpanzee, released almost three weeks later to a lot less fuss, has earned over $27 million.
Undoubtedly, there are going to be those who think Bully was hobbled at the box office by its nasty run-in with the MPAA. But I keep looking at Bully’s $3 mil, »

TV Reviews: “Grimm” Season 1, Episode 20, “Happily Ever Aftermath”
7 May 2012 2:43 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
“Happily Ever Aftermath” Air Date: 5/4/2012
Winding down on its first season, Grimm continues its up and down pace with an uneven episode. We open on a few pictures of a seemingly happy couple, the images of a “happily ever after,” and then an anonymous man shoots himself. The dichotomy there is great. Then we cut to Arthur, the man from the wedding photos, frantically calling Spencer, because his finances are now frozen, as he invested them all in his now deceased man’s business. Whoops. He returns to find his beautiful blonde wife Lucinda fresh from a shopping spree, and showing him her new dress and underwear to prove it. Good deflection.
Arthur, along with Spencer, who is Lucinda’s godfather and an old friend of her dead father (not to be confused with the dead businessman pre-credits) visit Lucinda’s stepmother Mavis, a witch straight from Cinderella (like »

Metalocalypse Director Jon Schnepp and Zenescope's Benjamin Jackendoff Talk Animating Grimm Fairy Tales
26 April 2012 11:31 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
There are a number of popular amped up fairy tale projects out there right now. One need look no further than NBC's "Grimm" or ABC's "Once Upon a Time." However, Zenescope Entertainment's comic series Grimm Fairy Tales is about to take things to a whole new level.
"Metalocalypse" director Jon Schnepp is teaming with Titmouse Animation Studio, Benjamin Jackendoff and Zenescope to create an animated project based on the long running Grimm Fairy Tales comic book series. "Ben and I had done a couple of horror shorts over the last two years," Schnepp said. "He started working for a company called Zenescope and was like, 'Yo, dude, you've gotta check out this company. I had been doing 'Metalocalypse' for eight years and wanted to do something on my own that's like a Heavy Metal movie, so I started writing this horror anthology movie. Ben was like, 'You »

The Devil’s Carnival (2012)
16 April 2012 9:20 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Written by: Terrance Zdunich
Directed by: Darren Lynn Bousman
Featuring: Emilie Autumn, Sean Patrick Flanery, Bill Moseley, Ogre, Alexa Vega, Dayton Callie, Briana Evigan, Jessica Lowden, Terrance Zdunich, Paul Sorvino, Marc Senter
For the diehard fans of Repo! The Genetic Opera, when whispers began over a year ago that Darren Lynn Bousman (director of Mother’s Day, 11-11-11 and several of the Saw films) and Terrance Zdunich (Repo!, The Molting comic book) were teaming up once more for another musical endeavor, the project couldn’t debut fast enough. Promotional images promised a whimsical goth-tinged carnival spearheaded by Lucifer himself, and early glimpses of soundtrack bites included performances from iconic genre staples like Emilie Autumn, Ogre (Skinny Puppy) and Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch). The project was not a studio endeavor; rather, it was filmed in about seven days, produced almost exclusively by Zdunich and Bousman themselves, with help »

'Child's Play' Family Featured In Rumored Spin-Off: 'Revenge of Chucky'
28 March 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
Next to "Tales From the Crypt" and The Evil Dead trilogy, my favorite franchise growing up was easily the Don Mancini-created Child's Play, Tom Holland's 1988 horror film in which a petty thug possesses a "Good Guy" doll. While rumors swirled of a reboot almost exact a year to this day, nothing has come into fruition. Nothing ever does, which is why the following should be taken with a grain of salt -- although, it should be acknowledged that MGM - the franchise rights holder - has sorted their sh*t out, and has been moving on quite a few projects... Our friends at Moviehole are reporting that there are reportedly two Childs Play projects in the works: the aforementioned remake and a spin-off of sorts involving Chuckys immediate family, Revenge of Chucky. The news came out of a reunion panel at The Mad Monster Party in Charlotte »
Short Film Review: ‘Affliction’
28 March 2012 5:31 AM, PDT | Destroy the Brain | See recent Destroy the Brain news »
At one time or another, we’ve all asked ourselves this one very crucial hypothetical question… “If I could have any one super power, what would it be?” For myself, it’s always been a toss up between invincibility or a Wolverine-like healing factor that’s off the charts. Then again, there’s something very intriguing about the powers of the mind. For Marvel comics fans, you understand the allure of Charles Xavier and Jean Grey, holding telepathic abilities with no rival, but with these great powers — no, I wasn’t going to say “comes great responsibility” — with these powers come a certain threat to one’s own sanity, in theory.
By now, you must be wondering why I’ve been rambling on about super heroes. To clarify, Affliction is not about super heroes… well, not in the traditional sense. This 15-minute short film, written and directed by Amir Masud, »

Exclusive Interview: Riley Rossmo talks Zombie Miniseries Rebel Blood
21 March 2012 3:01 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
We’ve covered Riley Rossmo’s previous work on Green Wake and I was excited when I first heard about Rebel Blood last year. Zombie comics are not uncommon, but this series does something different by focusing on infected animals. I’m really interested to see where they take the series and have a brief Q&A with creator/artist Riley Rossmo, who lets readers know what to expect from Rebel Blood:
Thank you for taking the time to talk with Daily Dead. Can you tell us a bit about what inspired you to create Rebel Blood?
Riley Rossmo: I’d been thinking about trying to plot a book for a while. I wanted to do a short horror narrative, My brother and I had been watching a lot of horror films and started talking about building a narrative that might measure up to some of the films we had been watching. »

Review – Freddy’s Nightmares: A Nightmare on Elm Street The Series – Ep 1: “No More Mr. Nice Guy”
8 March 2012 11:10 AM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
After reading Robg’s nostalgic post about Freddy’s Nightmares and seeing the warm reception it received got me wondering, has any die hard “Fred Head” completely viewed the series from start to finish? Having never been released officially in it’s entirety, save for a couple random episode VHS tapes, a couple years ago I was lurking around an Elm Street forum (I spend my time wisely…) I came across a seller with the complete, unedited Freddy’s Nightmares collection on DVD-Rs which I bought immediately, where they in turn went into my closet, unwatched. Until now! I figured now’s the time to dust off the set and provide what may be the first episode-by-episode reviews of this semi-forgotten series, one week at a time. Join me, won’t you?
It’s August 19th, 1988 and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master, the latest installment in »

Graphic Novel ‘Trespassers’ Getting Adapted By ‘Back to the Future’ Co-Writer Bob Gale
6 March 2012 5:58 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
There are few movies that exist which earn the people involved a “lifetime pass” for the rest of their careers, but I consider Back to the Future one of them. Those of you who have seen the movie just nodded your head in agreement; those of you who haven’t seen it aren’t reading this because you don’t exist. Much of the reason Back to the Future is so beloved is due to the script co-written by Bob Gale. If you pay attention to the other film writers and the people in the Twitterverse, people gush about how perfect the screenplay is from a storytelling standpoint and considering my statement at the beginning of this article, I’m definitely on their side.
Because of this (and the 1989 sequel Back to the Future: Part II, which I consider to be way more fun despite being not as good »

Paolo Has a Serious Case of Blue Balls in Short Film The Headless Lover
6 March 2012 3:18 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
We recently got a tip on a Danish short film entitled The Headless Lover, and keeping to our promise to bring you the best of horror from across the globe, we checked it out. What we saw made us cringe, made us laugh and was almost certainly the best made short film we've seen in a while.
Written, directed and produced by Kim Lysgaard Andersen, The Headless Lover is actually part of a larger anthology project entitled The Book of Horror. This trilogy of films is inspired by and written in tribute to the "Tales from the Crypt." And immediately upon viewing The Headless Lover you'll see just how spot-on the filmmakers were. This could easily have been an outstanding episode of the much-loved HBO series.
Do yourself a favor and check this out. It runs about 25 minutes long and you'll dig every bloody second. Maibritt Saerens is outstanding in »

Bob Gale To Adapt Trespassers Graphic Novel for the Big Screen
6 March 2012 3:00 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Back to the Future screenwriter Bob Gale has been hired to write the script for the adaptation of Scott Hampton's supernatural graphic novel Trespassers.
I've never read the comic, but it sounds like it has a fun story that will make for a good horror film. According to Variety, the story "centers on a group of mythbusters, set on debunking the legend of a famous allegedly haunted house. They have their scientific rationality tested when they discover demonic guardians, a gateway to hell, and the fact that not all of them are exactly who they claim to be."
It's cool that Gale is on board to adapt the movie. On top of writing Back to the Future, he wrote Tales From the Crypt and 1941. It's strange to think that he hasn't done a lot more movies over the years.
The movie is being produced by Ryan E. Heppe who »
