Review: Mother’S Day

11 May 2012 9:50 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »

Mother’S Day: First Look -Robg.

Let’s just get this out of the way right off the bat. Mother’S Day is a very unpleasant movie. I tend not to enjoy this particular sub-genre of horror movies that consist of films like Last House On The Left or Funny Games. I completely respect and understand their importance, but these are not the types of movies I break out on a Friday night when I have friends over for some beers and fun.

That said, Mother’S Day is by far the best of this sub-genre of horror movies. It’s by far the best film Darren Lynn Bousman has directed. And it’s also the best ensemble cast you’re probably ever going to see in a genre film of this sort. And while that praise makes it sound like the film is flawless, it’s definitely not perfect. »

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, »

Horror's Top 10 Most Frightening Women

11 May 2012 1:57 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

With the upcoming release of the creepy Hammer film The Woman in Black on DVD May 22nd, we thought it would be a good time to look back at some of our favorite frightening women from horror films of the past. Believe me; these aren't your average scream queens. These women bite back...hard!

To prime the proverbial pump, we have some honorable mentions for those who just missed the list. Who wasn't creeped out by Cécile De France in Haute Tension (High Tension) or Isabelle Fuhrman in Orphan. I remember looking through my fingers at the woman-thing at the end of [Rec], and Rebecca De Mornay was simply cold-blooded in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. Rie Ino'o gave us an iconic image in Ring, which Daveigh Chase duplicated in the American remake. And Lina Leandersson was eerie as Ellie in Lat den ratte komma in (Let the Right One In). Hell, »

Fifth Mother's Day Clip Shatters a Cardinal Rule

'Cape Fear' 50th Anniversary: Robert Mitchum's Max Cady Fathers Modern Movie Villainy

18 April 2012 4:57 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

For some reason, Robert Mitchum's Max Cady in the original "Cape Fear" lands at only No. 28 on the AFI's list of the top 50 on-screen villains of all time. (That's just one notch above Mitchum's Rev. Harry Powell in "Night of the Hunter," a similarly terrifying killer, the one with "L-o-v-e" and "H-a-t-e" tattooed on his knuckles.) Really, Mitchum's Cady ought to be much higher up. After all, there are plenty of stalkers and murderers on the list, but how many also imbue their characters with such a perverse air of sexual menace? Only a handful: Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper) in "Blue Velvet," Noah Cross (John Huston) in "Chinatown," Alex De Large (Malcolm McDowell) in "A Clockwork Orange," and Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins) in "Psycho." "Psycho" was clearly a touchstone for "Cape Fear," which marks its 50th anniversary this month. Besides a villain with a dark sexual history and twisted tastes, »

The Hunger Games Box Office: First Since Titanic with Key Female Role, Staying Power

15 April 2012 1:09 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman, Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen, The Hunger Games The Hunger Games has topped the Us/Canada box office for the fourth weekend in a row. Starring Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone), the Gary Ross-directed blockbuster scored $21.5 million according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. The dystopic action-drama was down a relatively modest 35% compared to Easter weekend. Prior to The Hunger Games, the most recent movie to achieve the four-weekend-in-a-row feat was James Cameron / Sam Worthington's Avatar in early 2010. In fact, Avatar remained at the top for seven consecutive weekends. The Hunger Games, however, won't get that far. Next weekend, it'll surely be unseated by Zac Efron / Taylor Schilling's The Lucky One. Among the nearly 30 movies that have managed to be no. 1 for four weekends in a row are Christopher Nolan / Christian Bale / Heath Ledger's The Dark Knight (2008), Peter Jackson / Elijah Wood »

Mouse House: Upcoming Blu-ray Titles from Disney To Be Released

2 April 2012 7:53 AM, PDT | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »

It seems like these days the possibilities are endless in how film fans can enjoy their favorites at home, from renting through Netflix to downloading online via Amazon. But perhaps the most rewarding format – well, for this old-fashioned guy, at least – is to purchase the movie on Blu-ray. While many major studios – including Disney – have generally decreased the amount of bonus features and other special content offered on home video, this company consistently delivers an overall strong value to their Blu-ray releases. In this edition of the Mouse House, I’ll as share some thoughts on yet-to-be-released Blu-ray offerings.

Coming Soon (Announced)

Recently Disney announced over 30 titles from their library – some of them classics, others surprisingly forgettable – to be released on Blu-ray for the first time this year. Many also hold the title of “anniversary” editions, celebrating 10, 15, 20 years or more since their original debuts.

'Mother's Day' Trailer: Worth it for DeMornay

27 March 2012 2:47 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »

Darren Bousman's new horror film (no, not that one) Mother's Day actually looks really awesome. And it's all because of Rebecca DeMornay.

Rebecca DeMornay, who cemented her intensity as a Barbara Hershey+ for all eternity as the evil nanny in the original bad-babysitter movie The Hand That Rocks The Cradle (come on, with Ernie Hudson as the mentally challenged gardener? You can't have missed that), is "Mother," a woman who apparently will help her ne'er-do-well criminal, rapist, thieving white trash sons no matter what bad shit they perpetrate on the innocent.

It stars Jaime King and Frank Grillo as an unsuspecting couple who are terrorized by the ol' timey family gang of criminals over some missing money.

Check out how awesome DeMornay is in this otherwise average story line: She's evil, intense and pretty much holds the whole trailer together. She's pretty much a good enough reason to watch the film, »

Rebecca De Mornay Is Up to Some Risky Business in 'Mother's Day' Trailer

27 March 2012 1:38 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

We hope you cleaned your room, brushed your teeth and combed your hair nice, 'cause momma just might tuck you in with a baseball bat.

In the tradition of "My Bloody Valentine" comes a holiday horror movie you won't soon forget since this "Mother's Day," its time to give the gift of terror, thanks to the new trailer from Yahoo! Movies.

Rebecca De Mornay ("The Hand That Rocks the Cradle") is Natalie Koffin, the mom in question, who has a brood of three hyperviolent sons on the run from Johnny law after a bank robbery gone awry (is there any other kind?). With one of the boys wounded, they attempt to hide in their mother's safe house only to find she sold it to some innocent folk who are about to become hostages.

The supporting cast includes Jaime King doing the whole scream queen thang again after "My Bloody Valentine 3D »
