Tribeca Review: Kiwi Cannibal Comedy 'Fresh Meat' Is A Silly, Tasty Treat
25 April 2013 1:57 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
There’s a certain expectation that comes with attending a horror-comedy with a ridiculously on-the-nose title. And in that respect, “Fresh Meat” delivers on its promise as a deliriously off-the-wall splatterfest with absolutely zero pretension. You could guess that Kiwi director Danny Mulheron was a Peter Jackson acolyte (he worked on Jackson’s puppet classic “Meet The Feebles”) by just closing your eyes and listening: the smack of slabs of meat slapping against each other, the screams of proudly ridiculous mega-acting, and the perfectly-calibrated physical violence that suggests a silly symphony of onscreen slapstick are all strengths that used to be exhibited in the work of Mr. Jackson, before he traded his integrity for some elf ears in Hollywood. This restless stab-fest lacks nuance and depth for the most part, which the film wears as a strength during its breathlessly paced first forty-five minutes. Two clans are in a collision »

Tribeca Serves Up 'Fresh Meat' Trailer
5 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Danny Mulheron, better known to some as Heidi the Hippo from Meet the Feebles, has a new horror comedy Fresh Meat premiering at the Tribeca Films Festival on April 23, 2013. FEARnet has a first look at the very fun trailer and one sheet here.
Synopsis: When a dysfunctional gang's prison breakout goes violently wrong, they need a hideout in a hurry. Picking the McMansion of a middle-class family in the suburbs seems like a safe bet, until it becomes clear that this particular family has reintroduced some very old-fashioned cuisine to their table. Will the Tans escape the trap, or is there gangster in the casserole tonight? A gruesomely funny, no-holds-barred comedy with style to burn, Fresh Meat will leave you hungry for more.
Fresh Meat - Trailer
Fresh Meat is available nationwide on VOD beginning April 16.

3 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Evil Dead. The remake we've all heard so much about. We've seen the impressive trailers, we've read the glowing reviews. We're all waiting with bated breath for the April 5 release of Evil Dead. In celebration of the film, we've got a new list for you to chew on.
Sure, chainsaws and axes are scary implements of murder, but there are plenty of items of death, doom and destruction that can be found right in the home. Just look around your kitchen and you'll see plenty of things that can separate a man from his breath in a big hurry. Read on for our Top Five Heinous Household Horrors!
Microwave Oven-Gremlins
Joe Dante's holiday-themed romp was memorable for so many reasons: the cute and cuddly Mogwai, Gizmo; the sinister and scaly Stripe, who was as devious as he was ugly; and the humor and F/X that are laced throughout this horror-comedy film. »

10 Films The Irish Censors Hated
5 March 2013 9:53 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Britain was often given stick for having the strictest film censorship in the Western World, but Ireland was pretty slapdash with their censor cutting scissors too. Tons of movies were heavily cut for cinema release or video release or else the film classification age was put ridiculously high. To see unexpurgated or banned films, one had to be a member of a private cinema club.
The tide turned in the mid 1990s with the increased liberalisation of Irish society. Nowadays, there is little in the way of film classification and films are rarely cut.
In the run up to St Patrick’s day, it is time to take a nostalgic look back to the dark old days of Irish film censorship and the films that got the censors in a twist.

5 Reasons To Go And See Avenue Q
26 February 2013 3:13 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Originating in America as a rejected concept for a TV programme that became an Off-Broadway musical and moved to Broadway within four months, Avenue Q is the story of two young people who fall in love and their quirky neighbours. Sounds pretty standard, doesn’t it. Well it would be if the majority of the characters weren’t puppets
Described by many as “Sesame Street on acid”, Avenue Q takes the broad tropes of Sesame Street and similar productions and proceeds to affectionately rip them to shreds with the puppet characters getting drunk on absinthe cocktails, having one-night-stands (Before you ask, yes you do see the sex), and contemplating suicide among other things
The show came to the West End in 2006 after several Tony Awards and massive critical acclaim in the Us and ran regularly until October 2010 when it left the West End and began to tour annually. Sadly there »

Women in Horror '13: Q+A with Adele Hartley of Scotland's Dead by Dawn Festival
24 February 2013 11:06 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
It's no secret to anyone who knows me that I am a big fan of Scotland, and that I would move there in a heartbeat if we didn't have these dumb things called international borders. Edinburgh in particular is a breathtaking city that still has architectural remnants of the middle ages, with windy little cobbled streets, claustrophobic closes and even a castle atop the hill right in city centre.
It's also a city proud of its morbid history bodysnatchers Burke and Hare have a bar and a strip club named after them (not to mention a booklet made out of Burke's skin on display at the Royal College of Surgeons), a sprawling, noticably lumpy city park sits atop masses of graves left over from plague times, and the ghost-walk business is booming.
But as if this weren't enough to lure me to Auld Reekie every year, it's also home to »

5 Films That Would Win Oscars In A Bizarre Parallel Universe
20 February 2013 5:10 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Not all films are polished masterpieces with excellent scripts and cinematography. Some are slyly subversive or positively wallow in their own crapulence. It may not be accepted practice for the Academy to recognise such films and probably most people would prefer to watch something boring like Brokeback Mountain or Lincoln.
However there is a select group of us who would love to see our favourite movies given the recognition that they deserve. How much more cool would it have been to see Peter Jackson collect Best Director award for Meet the Feebles than The Lord of the Rings? Could you imagine the outrage if Zombie’s Lake had been voted Best Picture? It could only happen in a parallel world inhabited by people like me (and the other one).
So I present a mercifully short list of 5 films that would win an Oscar in a freaky parallel universe.
