The latest news from Hollywoodland is that two horror powerhouses – Seth Metoyer and Bill Obert Jr’s Dismal Productions and Maria Olsen’s MOnsterworks66 – have joined forces to bring their rabid horror fans Squeal: The Harvest, a dark and sordid feature that will leave audiences gasping and, yes, squealing!
Michael Hultquist (Arena, Victim) has written a cracker of a script exploring murder, mutilation and mayhem, and the cast will be headed by the ultra-creepy Oberst as Uncle Ollie. Oberst is probably best known for winning a Daytime Emmy award for his role in the internet sensation Take This Lollipop, which was actually blocked on Facebook under suspicion of being a malicious app when it was first released. His other on-screen horror triumphs include Children of Sorrow, Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, The Shunning and Deadly Revisions.
Squeal will also feature Olsen in a supporting role, and »

The Cabining: “Todd and Bruce, a hapless screenwriting team, get one last shot at success thanks to Todd’s wealthy stepdad, Serge. If they pen a worthy horror script, Serge will fund the entire project. But there is one condition – the script must be complete in two weeks. With the deadline looming and no fresh ideas, Todd and Bruce head to Shangri-La, a serene artist’s retreat, with the hope that the peace and company of fellow artists will inspire greatness… or, failing greatness, at least enough for straight-to-dvd. Shangri-La proves to be anything but serene, as the artists die off one by one, seemingly by accident. Bruce convinces Todd to soak in this »

One would think that any lawsuit over Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman.s Paranormal Activity 4 would be from the directors. own Paranormal Activity 3, thanks to the fourth film running the franchise into the ground while boring the shit out of viewers. But today there was a much more practical lawsuit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Michael Costanza, writer and director of the zero-budget 2002 independent horror film The Collingswood Story, has filed a claim against Paramount Pictures as well as producers of the Paranormal Activity franchise, stating that he presented sections Collingswood to the studio in 2010 for a pitch meeting that ended with his material being turned away, and that portions of the fourth entry of the found footage horror series are almost exactly the same as the ideas he brought to them.

To celebrate the release of Paranormal Activity 4 on DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital Download, we’ve put together a “Fright Factor” guide for all of the movies in the series.
Paranormal Activity 4 is available to released on February 25th and can be ordered here. The DVD and Blu-Ray include the theatrical version of the film as well as an extended nine minute cut, and “The Recovered Files” – 30 chilling minutes of found footage, not shown in cinemas.
The story of Katie and Micah on a mission to film spooky goings on in their house seems relatively
restrained now, but it is all the scarier for it. A great start to the series, with some major jumps!
Fright Factor: 8/10
The sequel focuses on the Rey family who set up security cameras to investigate a series of break-
ins. Switching between home footage and CCTV cameras to capture the thrilling drama, »

Rob Zombie‘s four previous features have left audiences divided between those who find them dull in their barrage of uninteresting, poorly acted, white trash characters meeting bloody and blunt endings and those who, well, are wrong. I kid! His latest film, The Lords of Salem, hits theaters in April and was just announced today as one of the Midnighters premiering at next month’s SXSW film fest. The story follows a woman (Sheri Moon Zombie) with bad hair and worse fashion sense who gets caught up in supernatural events occurring in modern-day Salem, Ma. Ghosts, demons, cults and more slowly envelope her world until only darkness remains. Check out the trailer after the break. Well, it doesn’t look terrible. It plays like a riff on Rosemary’s Baby and the third act of Paranormal Activity 3, but I do like the seeming variety of threats that Heidi is facing from psychotic humans to unnatural happenings »

Set five years after the events of its predecessors, “Paranormal Activity 4″ focuses on a Nevada family that includes cute teen girl Alex (Kathryn Newton) and her adopted kid brother Wyatt (Aiden Lovecamp). When a neighbor her brother’s age has to move in with them following the hospitalization of his single mother, however, strange and bad things start to happen, leading Alex to wonder what’s going on. The construction of this sequel, from “Catfish” and “Paranormal Activity 3″ co-directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, follows the same, laid-out rules of the spooky, bump-in-the-night franchise, consisting of found footage recovered from the victims prior to their hauntings. This tack definitely shows [ Read More ]

The controversial Cannibal Holocaust (1980) followed Professor Harold Monroe as he travelled to the treacherous jungles of South America to seek the whereabouts of a film crew who disappeared while making a documentary on the primitive cannibal tribes that lived there. After finding the remains of the crew at the home of one of the tribes, he also discovered several reels of their undeveloped film.
With this, the concept of ‘found footage’ in cinema was born – a concept that would develop into one of the most loathed, overused and uninspiring sub genres in filmmaking.
The Blair Witch Project achieved cult status because of its original take on the horror genre, letting audiences see through the eyes (or lens) of the film’s characters for a feature length period for the first time. Clever and convincing viral marketing combined with the documentary style format to uncomfortably blur the lines between fact and fiction, »

It was a good weekend for young zombies with Warm Bodies, less so for new movies featuring actors with one foot in the grave (Stallone, Pacino, Walken). Meanwhile fairy tale monster slayers prove they have more life in them than Leatherface.
The tweener romantic zombedy Warm Bodies breathed life into the Super Bowl weekend box office with $20 million. It’s also received pretty solid reviews and a “B+” Cinemascore so its long-term prospects look good. Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate may have their new youthful franchise to fill the Twilight void.
In somewhat of a surprise, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters did not suffer the sort of box office freefall that befell Texas Chainsaw 3D a few weeks back. Despite middling reviews for the film, the fairy tale witch slayers only dropped 52% - about on par for a second week genre flick - landing in second place with another $9.2 million. That puts it at around $34 million. »

On what will likely be one of the slowest weekends of the year, Warm Bodies successfully counterprogrammed the Super Bowl with a first place opening just over $20 million. The male-oriented newcomers didn't fare nearly as well: Sylvester Stallone's Bullet to the Head bombed, while Stand Up Guys failed to even crack the Top 15.The Top 12 earned an estimated $68.5 million this weekend, which is off a whopping 27 percent from Super Bowl weekend last year. This discrepancy can be blamed on a quiet late January and the lack of a second strong newcomer this weekend. Including $520,000 from preview shows on Thursday, Warm Bodies grossed an estimated $20.03 million this weekend. That ranks seventh all-time among Super Bowl openings, and is generally in line with last year's Chronicle ($22 million) and The Woman in Black ($20.9 million). While it was also off a bit from Zombieland's $24.7 million, this is without-a-doubt a strong start for »

Driven primarily by December holdovers, total domestic box office in January came in at a decent $826 million. That's close to 2012 ($832 million), but way off the all-time high set in 2010 ($1.06 billion). The modest performance can be attributed to a terrible slate of new releases: the top four movies in January were technically all December releases, which is the first time this has happened since January 2002.While it never claimed first place over a full weekend, Django Unchained took the top spot in January with $79.3 million. The movie has earned an excellent $147.9 million so far, which makes it the highest-grossing Quentin Tarantino movie ahead of Inglourious Basterds ($120.5 million). It's also still tracking ahead of 2010's True Grit, though it will ultimately close below that movie's $171.2 million. After opening in limited release on Dec. 19, controversial CIA thriller Zero Dark Thirty expanded nationwide on Jan. 11 and grossed $71.1 million during the month of January. In total, »
