INBRED Goes Old School With New Poster

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 02:00 PM PDT

Alex Chandon's grim, grimy, and funny Grand Guignol style film Inbred has a brand new poster, which in my opinion kicks ass. Being the old geezer I am, and growing up on painted style posters, this piece of throwback style art is right up my darkened alley. It's no secret to those that know me that I have been calling Inbred the best gory genre offering in a long, long time. Harkening back to classics such as An American Werewolf In London, The Hills Have Eyes, and a plethora of what I call "Cornish Terror Flicks", this tale of a group of troubled youth and their counselors running afoul of a very nasty clan of "inbred" townsfolk on a very unlucky weekend is essential viewing...

Gorgeous First Trailer For Lovecraftian Horror CALEUCHE: THE CALL OF THE SEA

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 01:30 PM PDT

After winning a loyal cult following around the globe on the strength of his festival hits Eternal Blood (Sangre Eterna) and Descendents (Solos), Chile's Jorge Olguin appears poised to break through on another level entirely with upcoming effort Caleuche: The Call Of The Sea. A project which had Guillermo Del Toro attached as a producer at one point - though he dropped out of the project somewhere in the development process - Caleuche gives Olguin resources he has never had at his disposal in the past and it certainly appears as if he has made good.The story revolves around Isabel (Giselle ItiƩ), a Boston based marine biologist who opts to return to her family home in ChiloƩ Island following a serious illness. What she discovers...

Fantastic Fest 2012 Review: FUCK UP Doesn't Fuck It Up

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 01:00 PM PDT

The Norwegians are leaving, and this time you can't blame Audrey Horne. Another Fantastic Fest has come and gone, and our Scandinavian brethren have returned to the land of ice and snow of their own volition, not because a young, pretty girl told them her friend was murdered. They were well represented this year, with a number of interesting film, television, and video game projects. There was the TV series Hellfjord, the unsettling short film Videoboy, and something called Vikings on Trampolines, which sounds pretty awesome. There was also the understated possession documentary, The Exorcist in the 21st Century. But by far the most impressive Nordic entry into this year's festival was the aptly titled Fuck Up, directed by Oystein Karlsen, the man behind the...

Though news from upcoming Donnie Yen star vehicle Special Identity has been dominated by on-set turmoil - Yen and original co-star Vincent Zhao clashed on set, leading to Zhao being replaced by Andy On and a whole lot of public mud slinging - things are now wrapping up, meaning it's time to focus on Donnie doing what Donnie does best: Whupping ass.A variety of behind the scenes shots and a few images that appear to be actual stills have turned up over the past while and we've culled three of our favorite stills in the gallery below.

Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan And Rosamund Pike Are Headed To THE WORLD'S END

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 12:15 PM PDT

The end of the world - and of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's Cornetto Trilogy - is coming.Production is now officially underway on Edgar Wright's The World's End, the film that reunites the director with stars and co-writers Simon Pegg and Nick Frost from Shaun Of The Dead and Hot Fuzz, and that means - among other things - that they have now revealed the rest of the cast.Rounding out the pub crawl to the end of the world will be Martin Freeman (The Hobbit), Paddy Considine (Dead Man's Shoes), Eddie Marsan (Tyrannosaur) and Rosamund Pike (An Education). The absence of Dylan Moran in the core cast is a surprise, given that the story appears tailor made for him, but I'm not ruling out a...

Joseph Gordon Levitt Talks Redemption, Art And LOOPER

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 12:00 PM PDT

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is like a poster child for what there is to admire about American cinema today. Between really entertaining ambitious films he's made any number of powerfully good small indies. I myself am a big fan of Mysterious Skin (2004), The Lookout (2007),  and 500 Days of Summer (2009) which not only showed off the young performer's range but also signaled changes in American cinema itself. But none of those indies was odder than Brick (2006) directed by a then unknown Rian Johnson. A stunning mix of 1940's noir patois, and modern teen melodrama set in a high school the film exploded Johnson's career and also signaled that Gordon-Levitt was likely to remain full of surprises. Cut forward a few years and sure enough...

VIFF 2012 Dispatch: SLEEPLESS NIGHT and SORRY, I AM SO SORRY

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:00 AM PDT

Korean filmmaker Jang Kun-jae (whose Eighteen won the Dragons & Tigers award, VIFF's prize for new Asian directors, in 2009) delivers a heartfelt, sweet, genuine, yet never cloying portrayal of an average married couple in Sleepless Night. Essentially a series of snippets from their (charmingly mundane) life together strung into 65 minutes, the film succeeds thanks to the naturalistic performances and script--which seems as though it could have been largely improvised. The couple's life together seems to be on a kind of healthy cruise-control, somewhere far between saccharine fairy-tale perfection and Cassavetes screaming matches. Tension finally arises when the two come to a difference of opinion about when to begin planning for parenthood, but beyond that it's mostly laughter, tame sex, bike rides and yummy-looking...

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 10:40 AM PDT

Ah, fall. Such a wonderful time of the year. The leaves on the trees begin to turn their vibrant colors. The air has a bit of nip to it. Frost glazes over our car windows each night. Fall also harkens the anticipated arrival of another edition of the Toronto After Dark Film Festival. It is truly a wonderful time of year.

And today festival organizers released the second and final wave of titles for this, the seventh edition of the festival. It was supposed to be ten titles but one of the films from the first wave,...

DARK BLOOD Has Finally Made It To A Silver Screen

Posted: 29 Sep 2012 10:31 AM PDT

Last Thursday at the Dutch Film Festival in Utrecht, George Sluizer's "new" film Dark Blood premiered in front of a non-paying audience. The few Dutch reviews which are slowly appearing on the Internet are favorable, yet the question if there ever will be a commercial screening of this film is still unanswered. It sure took long enough to get even this screening arranged: all footage of Dark Blood was shot in 1993. The road from then to the world premiere has been very bumpy. Back in the early 90s, Dutch director George Sluizer was able to start several projects after the international success of his 1988 film Spoorloos (The Vanishing) and the 1992 US remake of that film, which he also directed himself. In 1993...
