Trailer For Argentina's ENTRE LAS SOMBRAS Brings The Jump Scares

Posted: 21 Jun 2013 02:00 PM PDT

It is a known fact that horror movies don't need ballooning budgets or huge special effects displays to work. All it takes to scare the pants off of viewers is some effective mood and a lot of ingenuity.This is especially true for Argentina's Entre Las Sombras, the feature film debut for Samot Marquez and Pablo Legeren. With almost no budget or funding of any kind, the duo shot the movie in a single location over a two-year period with just one camera. Legeren even took on acting duties as a young man who volunteers as caretaker for his in-laws' weekend getaway home, with the horror starting soon after. Sounds an awful lot like Uruguay's The Silent House, minus the "shot in a single take" gimmick.Legeren...

Dolph Lundgren Taps BEAUTIFUL BOXER Director For SKIN TRADE

Posted: 21 Jun 2013 01:15 PM PDT

Upcoming Dolph Lundgren / Tony Jaa star vehicle Skin Trade has its director and according to a post on Lundgren's Instagram account the job is going to Beautiful Boxer helmer Ekachai Uekrongtham. It's an interesting choice for while Uekrongtham has showcased action chops and an interest in broader genre film in his past work he's still primarily viewed as an arthouse director and it's a safe bet that he'll push both Lundgren and co-star Tony Jaa harder on the performance side of the equation than normal, which could be a very good thing.Skin Trade is an international action picture set against the backdrop of the sex trade in Bangkok. Lundgren wrote the initial draft - since worked on further by Universal Soldier veteran John Hyams -...

Posted: 21 Jun 2013 08:00 AM PDT

The films of the Cannes 2013 official competition will be arriving to Mexican cinemas little by little. It's very likely that we won't get to see some of them until next year (or maybe just on Blu-Ray), but for now the company Mantarraya, through its distribution division ND Mantarraya, has confirmed the release date for Amat Escalante's third feature film Heli, which is Mantarraya's own production and the only Mexican film selected this year for competition.
