Watch: Tony Ukpo's Creepy Horror Short ABOUT CLAIRE

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 07:15 PM PST

What is about Claire that makes two other women so agitated and nervous? To find out, watch About Claire, the new short film from writer/director Tony Ukpo (Random 11 and others). With a simple set-up, sharp moments between the two women (including Emily Lucienne) in a diner, a menacing sound design, and a concise running time of just over 5 minutes, About Claire fits my definition of an effective horror short: evocative and to the point, with a moody hint of its inspiration in character-based, creepy horror movies that were common in the 70s. Ukpo is currently in post-production on his sci-fi drama After the world ended.. Below you'll also find a teaser for Ukpo's Random 11, which our own Todd Brown wrote about last...

Tom Cruise Quips More, Still Kicks Ass in JACK REACHER TV Spots

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 05:01 PM PST

The first trailer for Christopher McQuarrie's Jack Reacher presented Tom Cruise as a laconic tough guy, but two new TV spots show he's as handy with his smart-ass quips as he is with his hands, fists, and feet. Cruise plays the title character, a former military officer, called in to help an old friend who's accused of murder. As before, he drives fast and is prone to beating up strangers, yet his ready wit is deployed as a weapon too. From reading several enjoyable installments in the long-running book series by Lee Child, I don't recall Reacher as such a quip-minded character, though it may be that McQuarrie fleshed out that side of his personality to compensate for Cruise's real-life dimensions, which are significantly more...

FrightFest Launches Limited Edition Screen Print Collection with ZOMBIE FLESH EATERS and More

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 04:12 PM PST

FrightFest is the premiere festival in the UK for fantasy and horror pictures, as demonstrated by its loyal base of local fans and overseas visitors -- see, for example, one of the reports filed by our own James Marsh about the 13th edition, held this past August. And now they're launching a collection of limited edition screen prints. The first print announced was inspired by Lucio Fulci's 1979 classic Zombie Flesh Eaters. In a prepared statement, artist Nat Marsh commented: "Zombie Flesh Eaters is for me THE defining zombie movie. They're coming out of the ground, they're all messed up and they're shambling, very slowly, towards the living. Brilliant! That's the feeling I wanted to put across in this design - that slow march of...

Morbido 2012: Mexico, Mezcal And A Morbid Fascination With Vampires!

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 01:00 PM PST

As I write this opening memoir about the Morbido Festival Internacional De Cine Fantastico Y De Terror I am trying to remember a few things. First, which day is it? Second, how many shots of Mezcal did I end up doing last night at the opening party? I believe the answer to the first question is Friday. And I am pretty sure the answer to the second question is "You'll have to ask the Aussies I met and see if they remember". I'm pretty sure it is Friday because I arrived in Mexico City Wednesday night and spent the night there. So that means that yesterday morning was the beginning of Thursday and two van loads of international filmmakers and this Canadian oaf, armed...

Opening: SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK Features Terrific, Winning Performances

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 08:00 AM PST

For his follow-up to 2010's The Fighter, which won Academy Awards for supporting actors Christian Bale and Melissa Leo, writer/director David O. Russell has adapted a novel by Matthew Quick into another film that is receiving plaudits for its performances. Silver Linings Playbook revolves around Pat, a man with Bipolar Disorder who has recently been discharged into the care of his family. Our own Jason Gorber saw the film when it screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and made the following observations about the actors: it's clear that Bradley Cooper is the perfect choice for the film. His mix of wry humour and pleasant looks ... is apt for the role of Pat.Forgetting Winter Bone and her Katnissing [in The Hunger Games], this is...

MOBIUS Teases Jean Dujardin Thrills With a Heavy Hand

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 07:32 AM PST

As someone explains the concept of a Möbius strip, the heavy-handed music begins pounding. Then Jean Dujardin is revealed, looking worn and haggard (i.e. the exact opposite of what audiences might expect next from the star of The Artist). Welcome to the teaser for Möbius, written and directed by Eric Rochant, a thriller due out in February 2013 -- and not to be confused with Lynn Ramsay's Mobius, a science-fiction version of Moby Dick currently in development. This particular Möbius concerns an officer of the FSB (an acronym for the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) who falls in love with a woman who works at a Russian bank. High finance and money laundering seem to be topics of the moment, and with the...

BIFF 2012 Interview: FATAL Director Lee Donku Talks Violent Sex Crimes, Working in a Bathhouse, and Respect Towards Women

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 07:01 AM PST

One of the most talked-about films this year at the Busan International Film Festival was the low-budget debut feature Fatal, which screened as part of the event's signature 'New Currents' competition. It's a section of the festival reserved for first or sophomore features from Asian filmmakers that has discovered such respected works as The Journals of Musan (2011) and Bleak Night (2011). Fatal director Lee Donku took some time out of his busy festival schedule to sit down and talk with Twitch. Where did the inspiration for your film come from? Firstly, when I began work on this story I wasn't sure about its tone, I didn't know whether it would be dark or bright. One thing I was sure about was the character who...

SAIFF 2012 Review: VALLEY OF SAINTS, In The Heart Of Darkness There Is Light

Posted: 16 Nov 2012 06:00 AM PST

In the northwest of India, there is a mountainous region known as Kashmir. For decades dominion over this region has been a matter of dispute between India and Pakistan. The terrain is very harsh in many places, making it difficult to identify any lines of demarcation. As a result of this uncertainty, Kashmir has also become one of the most dangerous parts of India; constantly under threat from terrorists, mired in perpetual instability, and sects on either side of the official border insistent that they are being robbed of their land. It is industrially underdeveloped, politically unstable, and constantly besieged by one threat or another. It is in this darkness and mire that the story of Musa Syeed's Valley of Saints unfolds. Specifically, the story takes...
