Crowdfund This! Shoestring Horror Flick IN RESIDENCE

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 03:00 PM PST

Around the Twitch offices (we don't have offices) we love to point each other towards quality film projects trying to raise some coin on the various crowdfunding platforms. Well our attention has just been drawn to a very interesting project on Kickstarter from filmmaker/musician/podcaster/Fantastic Fest patron Tim Buel and co-conspirator Cody Rhyse. Titled In Residence, this ultra-low budget horror is a labor of love in which the filmmakers promise to "shoot something both memorable and inventive, using the restrictive limitations of "no-budget-filmmaking" to our advantage by harnessing every trick of the trade we've collectively picked up together over the years." Here's more on the film: After the mysterious death of his mother, Caleb Wright returns to his estranged childhood home to deal with his...

Review: Amnesia Thriller OPEN GRAVE Doesn't Forget About Character

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 11:00 AM PST

Sharlto Copely is the secret weapon of the amnesia thriller Open Grave. The District 9 actor easily flits between monster, savior, and victim in a role that demands that he  not know whether he's any of the above. His work here is strong enough that it allows some of the deficits of Open Grave to slide. Copely's a John Doe who wakes up in a pit of dead bodies, bloodied, alone, and with no memory of his identity or how he got there. Making his way to a nearby cabin, he discovers other survivors who've found scraps of their identity, but still don't know what they were doing out in the middle of the woods or if they can trust this armed newcomer. Working from...

Twitchvision: Jason Gorber's Top 5 Films of 2013

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 10:30 AM PST

It's that time of year for lists, and I completely admit that I'm quite loose with my selections, sometimes providing different answers for different contexts. Having to pick only five, I chose one doc, one Canadian film, and three films that I thought spoke well to the year, this remarkable period of fiction cinema where a mix of the populist and the artfilm was found in a few exceptional productions.Ask me again only a few minutes later and I'm sure I could come up with a few more to fill in these spots! For now, however, let these serve as my top 5 films of 2013....

Destroy All Monsters: Thinking Better Of The Wolves

Posted: 01 Jan 2014 07:00 AM PST

I still don't know exactly where to come down on The Wolf of Wall Street. In the first part I don't think it's a particularly great movie, though of course being a Martin Scorsese picture, it's a hell of a lot better than most. Is it just warmed-over Goodfellas (or rather, warmed-over Casino, which was warmed-over Goodfellas)? I don't know, but Wolf does feel repetitive. The scenes are new (the extended sequence of a Quaalude-paralyzed Jordan trying to get into his Lamborghini like an angry puppet with its puppeteer on a smoke break is among the funniest things I've seen all year), but the rhythm is the same. (For alternate takes on the film, see Peter Martin's review and Michele Galgana's feature.) We could deduct...
