Night Terrors in the walls as The Dead Files visits Missouri and Haunted Castle House

This week on The Dead Files, Steve Dischiavi and Amy Allan head to Missouri where paranormal activity is keeping the customers of one bed-and-breakfast awake at night. Brumley, Missouri, might be a small village with less than 100 people but it is also home to the Haunted Castle House Bed and Breakfast, that claims to be the most haunted house in the Midwest. The house was built back in the mid 1800’s by Dr. Walter and Martha Dixon who had been inspired by similar stone build mansions they’d seen whilst travelling in England. Steve’s investigates the background of the place...read more

'Chappie', 'Clouds of Sils Maria' and 'The Cobbler' in Today's MPAA Ratings

While I'm not the big cheerleader of Neill Blomkamp so many others are, I will commend him for the fact he makes the movies he wants to make and he's not making test audience-approved, PG-13 material and while I have zero interest in seeing Chappie, kudos once again for giving us another R-rated film where in the hands of others it would most likely be a soft lob down the middle, PG-13 waste. Also in today's bulletin we have Olivier Assayas' Clouds Of Sils Maria starring Juliette Binoche and Kristen Stewart. This one has received plenty of good word of mouth and seems like a must see once it arrives in April. On the flip side of that we have a rating for Thomas McCarthy's The Cobbler starring Adam Sandler, which walked away from the Toronto Film Festival last year as the most loathed release of the fest.

The Sad, Final Days of Florida's Miracle Strip Amusement Park

The Sad, Final Days of Florida's Miracle Strip Amusement Park
First built in 1963 in Panama City, Florida, the Miracle Strip Amusement Park was a small park across the street from the beach, whose claim to fame was the Starliner wooden roller coaster, the first roller coaster in Florida and the only ride to have existed throughout the park's duration. The park was segregated until the late 1960s, which is about when expansion on the park started, and more rides were added throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

The Miracle Strip Amusement Park closed in September 2004, due to waning attendance and increased expenses. Many of the existing rides were sold off to other amusement parks. Those that remained turned into the terrifyingly beautiful abandoned constructions you see here.

Dante's Inferno

Clearly, walking through the gaping maw of a lecherous cartoon demon is weird enough; add the ravages of time and disrepair, and it is enough to give you chills. When operational, Dante's

Why Imax is still the way forward for cinema

The big news in cinemas over the last couple of years has been the return of 3D, but it's Imax that's now coming into its own and really transforming the movie-going experience

The future of cinema is here. It's been around for years but, as studios now struggle to find a way to offer audiences a spectacle that can't be replicated by downloads or illegal streams, it's currently enjoying a quiet renaissance. It has revolutionised the way we consume movies, and an increasing number of well-respected film-makers are seeking it out as a creative outlet. 3D? Don't be daft – 3D is the medium of cut-price dance films; the medium of Piranha and Yogi Bear and that terrible Clash of the Titans remake. No, I'm talking about Imax.

More than anything – more than 3D, more than digital projection, more than crazy schemes where you have to pay 30 quid to see a

Fly Me To The Moon

In keeping with the increasing specialization of entertainment media, seniors who want to bond with their 4-year-old grandkids now have their very own film, the 3-D non-spectacular Fly Me To The Moon. The crudely made CGI effort follows three adventurous young flies who stow away on Apollo 11's 1969 moon shot, hoping to be the first insects in space. But the computer animation looks 20 years old, and the story's crass Cold War stereotypes feel even older. Fly Me To The Moon at least makes interesting use of 3-D: Startling jabs at viewers' eyes are replaced by long tracking shots that venture deep into the screen. Director Ben Stassen (fresh off the likes of Haunted Castle and Wild Safari 3-D) is playfully specific about what it might be like to sleep inside a rubber glove, get trapped inside a test tube, or just be a tiny fly on a...

3D Man Stassen Preps Horror Tour

Ben Stassen, the Belgium director behind such 3D ventures as Haunted Castle and the upcoming Fly Me to the Moon, an animated story about houseflies aboard the Apollo 11, is prepping a new project that will hopefully be of interest to us fans called Horror Tour.

No plot details, or any kind of details for that matter, were revealed, but THR did state that Hour Tour would be a stereoscopic live-action film, and he plans to start shooting it next summer. So it could be quite a while before we hear anything solid on it.

What I’m hoping for is twisted story about betrayal and revenge, all told from the perspective of a murder weapon. Or, since it’s called Horror Tour, maybe it’ll be a really technically advanced look at famous horror locations across the globe? When we know, you’ll know!
