Trailer: Feel The Wrath Of Nakata Hideo's MONSTERZ

Posted: 27 Feb 2014 02:00 AM PST

Remarkably intense and perfectly intriguing, this might be one of the best trailers I've seen in quite a while. Nakata Hideo's Monsterz looks like a bloody good time, and for all the right reasons. The indisputable Master of J-horror is definitely in his comfort zone with a dark and moody picture that somehow immediately brings to mind the usual Miike Takashi madness.A remake of the highly successful but mildly entertaining 2010 South Korean thriller Haunters, Monsterz focuses on a mysterious man who has the power to control others just by looking at them with his piercing blue eyes (so vividly depicted in the video). A man (Fujiwara Tatsuya) possesses a special ability to manipulate others with just his eyes. Because of this special ability, he killed his abusive...

Adam Driver: A STAR WARS Villain For A New Generation

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 01:30 PM PST

With production on Star Wars: Episode VII scheduled to begin in April, it seems inevitable that official casting announcements will begin any moment now. Jumping the gun, Variety says that Adam Driver is "close" to signing a deal to become the villain. Driver's chief claim to fame has been his role in Lena Dunham's HBO series Girls; he plays her layabout boyfriend. From watching only three episodes of the series, my only impression is that his character is annoying and insufferable. Does that make him suitable for a galactiic villain? Maybe. He also had a small part in the Coen Brothers' Inside Llewyn Davis, as the cowboy hat-wearing folk singer Al Cody. Until Disney confirms, we'll mark this as a rumor, but if this proves...

Totally Manic Trailer For Turkish Horror AMMAR Evokes Old School Raimi

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 01:00 PM PST

As the saying goes, talent borrows while genius steals. And while stealing certainly isn't enough to make you a genius if you're going to steal you should steal from the best and Ammar director Özgür Bakar - to say nothing of his trailer editor - has clearly been watching a lot of old school Sam Raimi films.The synopsis for the upcoming Turkish horror film reveals very little, promising only that some sins will be quickly punished, and while you're not likely to get a lot more specifics from the trailer you do get a lot of screaming, moving furniture, creepy transformations and roving demons of some sort.Yes, the budget limitations are clear but this one looks like great, trashy fun. Take a look below....

Turkish Boogeyman Lurks In The Woods Of GULYABANI

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 12:30 PM PST

Dear women of Turkey, or at least women of Orçun Benli's Gulyabani: If you happen to find yourself alone in the remote woods when you stumble upon a sealed well in the middle of nowhere, just leave it sealed. Don't open it. That's a bad idea .... oh, too late.Yes, the basic premise of Benli's upcoming Turkish horror film is a familiar one, for the most part, but 'cabin in the woods' movies keep popping up because they keep proving popular and while I don't know if I'd enjoy the trailer for Benli's offering nearly as much if I could understand what they're actually saying, well, it's a whole lot of fun this way thanks to its weirdly cartoonish villain, massively camp fortune teller, a...

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 12:00 PM PST

As our own Andrew Mack reported, México Bárbaro is an upcoming Mexican horror anthology featuring cinematic adaptations of traditional legends from this country. It was conceived by Lex Ortega (sound designer for Frankenstein's Army) and will be offering segments by such directors as Somos Lo Que Hay's Jorge Michel Grau, Alucardos, Retrato de un Vampiro's Ulises Guzmán, and The Incident's Isaac Ezban. The anthology instantly became one of the most anticipated and promising Mexican films of the year. I had the fortune and honor to interview for Twitch six of the eight directors involved: Ortega, Guzmán, Ezban, Rue Morgue's Aaron Soto, M is for Matador's Gigi Saúl Guerrero and Babtized's Laurette Flores. In the gallery below you can read each interview and learn more about...

OPEN WINDOWS: Black Leather, New Poster For Nacho Vigalondo Thriller

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 11:00 AM PST

I had the opportunity to see Nacho Vigalondo's third feature Open Windows at the European Film Market in Berlin earlier this month. And while I can't tell you any details, I can say that it was pretty incredible: intelligent, innovative, brilliantly executed, and edge-of-your-seat exciting.Nick Chambers has won a dinner with Jill Goddard, his favourite movie star. But on the evening, he is told by Chord, a representative of the film company, that Jill has refused to attend the dinner. The next thing he knows, Nick is given access to Jill's mobile phone, seeing and hearing her most intimate moments on his computer. But that is only the beginning of what seems to be a much larger, darker plan.I am jealous of all those attending SXSW...

David Fincher Eyeing Aaron Sorkin's STEVE JOBS

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 10:15 AM PST

Now that Aaron Sorkin has completed his adaptation of Walter Isaacson's mammoth biography Steve Jobs for the big screen, the project needs a director, and producer Scott Rudin knows just the man: David Fincher. Fincher is in early talks to direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He worked with Rudin and Sorkin on The Social Network, so a reunion would be a natural. And for those concerned that Fincher might be repeating himself -- what? another film about a Silicon Valley billionaire? -- Sorkin has reportedly structured the film around three important launch days in Apple's history, which would set the film apart in the annals of biographical pictures. Fincher is finishing up the thriller Gone Girl, due out later this year. He has a...

Review: TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT Boldly Exposes The Dark Side Of Police Work

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 09:30 AM PST

Though still on the verge of being Poland's new voice of morality, Wojciech Smarzowski (The Wedding, The Dark House) has undoubtedly found a very convincing way of exposing the country's greatest and most frustrating absurdities. Never far from controversy, Smarzowski's unflinching directorial eye became the key to his huge success. In just four films he established an unmistakable style, which distinguishes him from other modern Polish auteurs. Amid accusations of being inappropriate and plain rude, Smarzowski proved how valuable it is to have one's own sense of self-determination. Even though his films are definitely not to everyone's taste, they're nevertheless works of an individual capable of being a perceptive observer of the world that surrounds him.Ironically, Traffic Department, a picture that ponders a seemingly serious and...

Destroy All Monsters: Paramount, Netflix And The End of the Physical World

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 07:00 AM PST

It took me till the second- or third-last episode of the second season of Netflix's House of Cards to really look at the series' opening credits again. They show a Washington devoid of people, a faded mausoleum of formerly tangible power whose sun is setting, while the theoretical purpose of it all - the citizens - have been rotoscoped out of the frame altogether. Their cars occasionally flit by, sped-up streams of information as night falls and currents of light overtake the metropolis. That this unsettling visual metaphor should grace the head of every episode of House of Cards, the beacon of Netflix's self-generated content strategy, is probably accidental; but as night falls on the era of physical media thanks to digital content providers like...

Now on DVD: ANGRY NAZI ZOMBIES Exploits A Very Specific Niche

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 06:30 AM PST

Some horror anthologies ambitiously aim for the broad and global (The ABCs of Death) while others are shaped by old-school appreciation of horror (V/H/S). And then there's Angry Nazi Zombies, now on DVD, which presents three stories involving the unhappy undead -- all set in England during World War II! Does such a narrow approach beget greater creativity? Click through to discover the answer....

70s Rewind: AIRPORT, The Movie That Made Me Afraid to Fly

Posted: 26 Feb 2014 06:00 AM PST

Look, not every flight can promise Liam Neeson will be on board as your personal air marshal, ready to kick ass as he foils an extortion plot, as in this week's Non-Stop. Without that assurance, anyone might be afraid to fly. But my fear of flying started long before 9/11 and the Age of Terrorism, stretching back even before Erica Jong published Fear of Flying in 1973 and introduced the idea of the "zipless ----," which, in turn, made me terrified of women and what they might expect of me. No, I blame one movie in particular for making me afraid of stuffing myself like a pork sausage into a casing that is far too small for my size. Airport (1970; d. George Seaton). I...
