Mexico City, HERE COMES THE DEVIL

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 02:00 PM PST

Winner of every horror category at Fantastic Fest 2012, Adrián García Bogliano's Here Comes the Devil (aka Ahí Va el Diablo) was filmed entirely in Mexico and its cast and crew are mostly from one particular Mexican city: Tijuana, Baja California. As part of Masacre en Xoco, the film finally had a Mexico City premiere back in December 2013, but it was a single screening at the National Cinematheque (Cineteca Nacional). And now those who missed this will have another chance to watch Here Comes the Devil on the big screen thanks to Cine Tonalá, a small movie theater located near downtown Mexico City. Cine Tonalá is hosting a very limited run, with one showing per day from February 8 to 13 (excluding Monday the...

PUZZLE Trailer: Prepare For Another Japanese High School Bloodbath

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 12:00 PM PST

Prepare for another blood-soaked high school massacre! Apparently, making brutal and shocking films that focus on poor students taking part in life-or-death battles is becoming a sort of trend in the enigmatic world of Japanese cinema. I'm pretty sure many of you, dear Twitch readers, are huge fans of such pictures as the successful and enormously entertaining Battle Royale and the shockingly hilarious pastiche Lesson of the Evil.It feels like only yesterday that Miike Takashi revealed his next project As God Says, a survival thriller based on a popular manga of the same name, where a group of students is forced to participate in a mysterious and violent game. If you think that's still not enough, well I've got good news for you. Just a...

Watch The First Trailer For Nature-Friendly Japanese Comedy WOOD JOB!

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 11:30 AM PST

Japanese filmmakers have that special ability to turn even the seemingly completely unappealing  ideas into truly heart-warming, crowd-pleasing pictures of the most entertaining kind. Given that Wood Job!'s main storyline focuses on a high school graduate, who moves from his hometown to a remote village in order to work as a forestry trainee, the first 90-second trailer feels surprisingly inviting and pleasurable and promises a lot of laugh-inducing moments (almost naked tree riding, anybody?).Based on Miura Shion novel of the same name, Wood Job! is directed and scripted by Yaguchi Shinobu, whose works include such fine and amusing comedies as Adrenaline Drive and Swing Girls. The film will premiere on May 10, 2014 in Japan.Yuki Hirano (Shota Sometani) wants to live an easy life, like working a...

Check The First Images From Fruit Chan's THE MIDNIGHT AFTER

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 09:00 AM PST

When director Fruit Chan last took a trip to the darker parts of his brain the result was Dumplings, one of the most disturbing horror films of recent years - so much so that I cannot imagine myself ever wanting to sit and watch it again, not despite but precisely because of how incredibly well made it is. And so the idea of Chan going dark once again with Berlin selection The Midnight After is more than a little intriguing.Imagine that the entire population of the planet has vanished, except for you and 16 other people. Do the moral principles and religious beliefs we live by still apply? If civilization has collapsed, how do we survive? How far would you be willing to go to...

Here's something unusual from Denmark: While details are still being kept somewhat out of the public eye Jonas Alexander Arnby's When Animals Dream presented footage in the in-progress section of the Nordic Film Market at the Gothenburg Film Festival and it would appear that we've got a very smart, character driven creature feature on our hands.Marie is a beautiful and lonely 16-year-old who lives in an isolated village on a small island of the west coast of Denmark. Marie's mother is seriously ill, suffering from an unknown disease - on medication, mentally absent and tied to a wheelchair.

Jason Clarke Out, Colin Farrell And Rachel Weisz In For Lanthimos' THE LOBSTER

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 07:00 AM PST

With the start of principal photography on Yorgos Lanthimos' (Dogtooth, Alps) debut English language feature just around the corner there has been something of a shuffle in the cast with word that previously announced leading man Jason Clarke is no longer attached to the project and has been replaced by Colin Farrell. Also joining as the female lead is Rachel Weisz, joining a cast that already includes Lea Seydoux, Ben Whishaw and Olivia Coleman. Typically, for Lanthimos, it's gonna be a weird one:The Lobster is a story about love, without being a conventional love story. It observes the ways and reasons certain people come together to form couples, while others don't. It is a story about the terrifying effects of solitude, the fear of dying...

70s Rewind: TWO-MINUTE WARNING, A Sniper Threatens The Big Game

Posted: 03 Feb 2014 06:00 AM PST

Snipers entered the public conciousness in the U.S. on August 1, 1966, when Charles Whitman shot dozens of people from a tower located on the University of Texas campus in Austin, Texas. Whitman's shooting spree claimed the lives of 14; earlier, he had killed his wife and mother in their homes. The mass murder was unprecedented in American history, and Whitman's motives remain unexplained. * Two years later, Peter Bogdanovich borrowed that story as the basis for Targets, in which a sniper on an oil tank in Los Angeles first shoots motorists driving on a nearby freeway, then flees to a drive-in theater, where he resumes his deadly attack. Nearly seven years later, in 1975, George LaFountaine's novel Two-Minute Warning appears to have been published...
