Paramount, Pitt Reach Out to Fans and Celebs to Build Buzz for 'World War Z' (Video)
23 May 2013 12:47 PM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Paramount has always been innovative about going straight to the fans with its films, from "Paranormal Activity" to Jason Reitman's "Young Adult." (Last year Weinstein Co. borrowed a page from their playbook with a series of 70 mm previews of Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master" before it could screen at film festivals.) This week, Paramount took Brad Pitt on the road to New York's Museum of Modern Art Wednesday night for an early sneak peak at Marc Forster's long-delayed "World War Z," in order to build some early buzz with celebrity guests, from Katie Couric and Bruce Willis to Jimmy Fallon and Gayle King. Pony-tailed Pitt--who has had much on his plate with Angelina Jolie's surprise announcement last week) also schlepped to Hoboken, New Jersey to introduce the film before surprised moviegoers. From what I saw of the movie at CinemaCon, Forster's picture looks expensive, which is »

Blu Review: Dark Skies (Vic's Review)
20 May 2013 9:00 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Cinelinx has a close encounter with the new Dark Skies Blu-ray!
This review covers the Blu-ray/DVD 2-pack version. (Note: The video clips do reveal some plot spoilers)
The Set-up
A family discovers a mysterious, terrifying entity is stalking them, leading them all to the brink of madness as they try to discover the truth. Stars Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton.
Written and directed by Scott Stewart
The Delivery
Jason Blum, the producer of Paranormal Activity and Insidious, brings us another low-budget film with big-budget thrills, thanks to the writing and deft direction of Scott Stewart. Dark Skies is an entertaining scare-fest that doesn't rely on CGI, but rather on crafting a truly creepy atmosphere in which the characters reside.
I won't give too much of the plot away, as that would ruin much of the movie for you, but it does involve a series of situations that makes a young suburban family think someone, »

Dark Skies – The Blu Review
20 May 2013 6:40 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Dark Skies was a derivative yet engaging affair that hit the spot and gave me 97 minutes of genuine chills and thrills. It was not well-received when it opened theatrically in February and I never got around to seeing it. Maybe it was bad timing, what with its ad campaign that made it look like the Paranormal Activity movies, which it is similar to except it plays as a thriller instead of a found-footage tape, and with aliens as the home invaders rather than evil spirits. That’s a shame, because despite some forgivable flaws, Dark Skies is a genuinely scary movie. Now it can be rediscovered on the new Blu-ray disc from Starz/Anchor Bay.
Dark Skies a supernatural/sci-fi thriller that follows a young family living in the suburbs. As comfortably suburban husband and wife Daniel and Lacey Barret (Kerry Russell, Josh Hamilton) witness an escalating series of disturbing events involving their family, »

Blu Review: Dark Skies
17 May 2013 11:20 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
When first viewing the trailer for Dark Skies, I was immediately excited to see it. It appeared to be another supernatural horror film concerning a creepy little kid. You can never go wrong using that concept. My interest waned a bit upon learning the movie revolved around an alien encounter. I don't dislike movies about aliens, but they just don't excite me as much as a good ghost story or haunted house flick.
I still held on to hope as I put Dark Skies in my Blu-ray player and settled in to watch it. I can happily report that my hopes weren't dashed. The commercials and trailers for the film captured its essence perfectly.
Daniel (Josh Hamilton) and Lacey Barret (Keri Russell) and their two children are just like any ordinary family struggling to make ends meet and pay the mortgage on their suburban two-story house. That is until a »

Paramount Home Media Acquires “Ghost Team One”
16 May 2013 5:08 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
You can expect to see a whole lot more of Ghost Team One. The horror comedy was picked up by Paramount Home Media.
The film was an official selection of Slamdance this year and stars Carlos Santos, J.R. Vilarreal, Tony Cavalero and Fernanda Romero. Ben Peyser and Scott Rutherford direct. Here’s the synopsis:
In order to impress a girl, two roommates set out to make a documentary about a murder that took place in their house decades ago. The girl thinks that the victim’s ghost still resides there, and the two guys think that making a movie with her will get them laid. But after setting cameras up around the house, the legitimately supernatural occurrences that follow make it apparent that the ghost is not only real, but that she’s a vengeful Vietnamese madame from the 1930’s that’s become smitten with our guys.

Official Sales Art - The Paranormal Diaries: Clophill
15 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Alrighty, kids! On tap right now is the official sales art for the steller new spooker from Kevin Gates and Michael Bartlett, The Paranormal Diaries: Clophill (review). Dig it in all of its spooky glory!
"We shot The Paranormal Diaries: Clophill during the pre-production of Zombie Diaries 2 when there were a whole series of setbacks with funding the sequel," says Kevin Gates. "During the pre-production period I was itching to get something shot, and there was just time to squeeze in an 'in-between' film. The idea of taking back control, making the kind of film we wanted and could take our time over, was very appealing."
Gates continues, "I grew up in an area of Bedfordshire in the UK rich in legends of witchcraft and knew of a local ruin that had a history of black magic and the occult and always thought it had potential for a film. »

Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass to Lead Medical Thriller 'Reawakening'
14 May 2013 8:04 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Lately producer Jason Blum and his Blumhouse productions have been on a string of horror hits with the Paranormal Activity franchise, and also new franchises launching from Insidious and Sinister. Now Lionsgate is behind Blum's newest producing effort, a medical thriller called Reawakening with Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass starring in the film for Jiro Dreams of Sushi director David Gelb. The script comes from Luke Dawson and Jeremy Slater (who worked on Fox's reboot of Fantastic Four) and follows a team of research students that discovers the secret to bringing subjects back from the dead. More below! But, of course, their work results in a series of sinister consequences and terror. This is another interesting project for the increasingly versatile Mark Duplass. The actor is also a powerhouse in the indie world as a writer and director, and most of his acting roles have been in similar low key releases. »

Olivia Wilde & Mark Duplass Are ‘Reawakening’ In David Gelb’s Thriller
13 May 2013 10:25 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
David Gelb may be best known for his stunning documentary Jiro Dreams Of Sushi, but his next effort will be taking a decidedly darker route. Gelb’s feature length fiction debut, titled Reawakening, will star Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass as research students who happen to discover how to bring the dead back to life, or ‘reawaken’ them. As you can imagine, it doesn’t quite go according to plan. The script is being written by Luke Dawson and Jeremy Slater. Dawson wrote the 2008 American remake of Shutter and Slater is set to script the upcoming The Fantastic Four reboot.
Lionsgate are behind the scientific thriller which will be produced by Jason Blum via his Blumhouse banner. Blum is no stranger to horror thanks to his work on Paranormal Activity and Sinister. Here’s hoping that this will be a lot different than just a Zombie film.

Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass to Star in Medical Thriller Reawakening
13 May 2013 3:36 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass are set to team up for a new thriller set within the world of medicine. Variety reports that Wilde and Duplass will lead Lionsgate's Reawakening, which “follows a team of research students that discovers the secret to bringing subjects back from the dead—however, their actions result in a series of sinister consequences.” So it’s kind of like a horror film version of Flatliners with more dead people. Jiro Dreams of Sushi director David Gelb will be taking the helm, with Luke Dawson and Jeremy Slater handling scripting duties. Horror guru Jason Blum—who is behind the Paranormal Activity series, Sinister, and a number of other spooktacular films from the past few years—will produce the pic through his Blumhouse banner. The incredibly busy Duplass recently committed to starring in an HBO comedy pilot that he and his brother Jay Duplass created, and Wilde »

10 Disturbing Moments In Non-Horror Video Games
10 May 2013 6:57 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
There’s nothing quite as enjoyable as watching or reading something disturbing, and letting it seep into your consciousness for it to haunt you at the most inconvenient moments. We all love a good Creepypasta, horror film or even video game. I think the cathartic enjoyment of being scared is an inherent aspect of the Human condition; the curse of having an imagination is that our fears are free to run wild, but at the same time, believing our fears to be imaginary allows us to take away its power. Whatever the reason, exploiting your fears and scaring you is big business for content creators.
But perhaps what’s even more effective, are the disturbing moments which sneak into otherwise normal media. The moments that leave us with an uneasy feeling, like when you stay at that off-road motel that has plenty of cars parked outside but no sign of any customers. »
