| Korean Box Office: HIDE AND SEEK Eeks Out Another First Place Posted: 25 Aug 2013 11:18 PM PDT  In the last weekend before many schools start their new terms, business had a last hurrah with 3.24 million tickets sold over the frame, approximately 30% more than last year. A new Hollywood release dampened the market share somewhat, but the take for local product still came in at a powerful 63% (versus 78% in 2012). Title Release Date Market Share Weekend Total Screens 1 Hide and Seek 13/08/14 33.60% 1,080,521 4,078,258 659 2 Now You See Me (us) 13/08/22 28.40% 917,545 1,068,885 691 3 The Flu 13/08/14 13.10% 430,601 2,695,052 508 4 Snowpiercer 13/07/31 10.30% 322,228 8,795,972 443 5 The Terror Live 13/07/31 5.50% 173,845 5,401,252 335 6 Epic (us) 13/08/07 2.30% 84,711 945,589 252 7 R.I.P.D.

| Macabro 2013, Opening Day: Jeremy Gardner And Adam Cronheim Present THE BATTERY Posted: 25 Aug 2013 06:00 AM PDT The opening day of Macabro 2013, Mexico City's annual horror film festival, kicked off with a screening of The Battery, with director/star Jeremy Gardner and co-star Adam Cronheim in person. No need for more. One cleverly funny zombie movie (with a great soundtrack) and a couple of energetic and very kind guys (Gardner and Cronheim) were more than enough for a memorable evening at Cineteca Nacional (the Cinematheque). The crowd started gathering around 5 PM, more than two hours before the showing. It was a sold out event but some people didn't know that and soon the festival's organization became a little messy. There was just too much demand (some members of the press had to leave), confirming that Macabro keeps growing as a festival and requires... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Frightfest 2013 Review: THE DESERT is an Intense Post-Apocalypse Love Story Posted: 25 Aug 2013 05:00 AM PDT  To paraphrase Jean-Paul Sartre, post-zombie-apocalypse hell is other people. This is the situation that three people find themselves in Christoph Behl's fiction feature debut The Desert. But unlike most horror film, the zombies rarely make an appearance. This is about the other people and the false intimacies that form in such an entrapment, the rivalries, the strange behaviours, the jealousies, and the odd love. By far the best film I've seen so far at Frightfest, and one of the best of the year, it is an intimate, intense love story that will put a knot in your stomach, and is far more frightening because of its focus on the humans rather than the monsters.Ana (Victoria Almeida), Jonathan (William Prociuk) and Axel (Lautaro Delgado) have survived...

| Full Disclosure: Twitch's Lists Of Shame - August Posted: 25 Aug 2013 04:00 AM PDT This month's Full Disclosure includes some real highlights of the early Hollywood era, including pivotal works from Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Howard Hawks. Our team also widens its experience of World Cinema by catching up with top-tier offerings from Federico Fellini, Fritz Lang and Nicolas Roeg, while yet another of our contributors takes the plunge and watches Victor Fleming's epic Gone With The Wind. Add to this a couple of more modern classics, in the form of Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, and you have yet another fruitful month of shame reduction for the ever-growing Twitch team. ...
