| Watch The Trailer For Indie Thriller BAD TURN WORSE (aka WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE) Posted: 10 Oct 2014 04:00 PM PDT  A selection of the 2013 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival - back when it was known as We Gotta Get Out Of This Place - Zeke and Simon Hawkins' indie thriller Bad Turn Worse hits limited theatrical release, VOD and iTunes on November 14th and there's a new trailer out there to entice you.Here's how Toronto described it:Tipping its hat from the start to the classic novels of pulp crime master Jim Thompson, We Gotta Get Out of This Place is a tight nouveau noir by first-time feature directors Simon and Zeke Hawkins. The Hawkins brothers have crafted a tense thriller in their story of three teens, on the verge of escaping a dead-end existence in their cotton-mill town, who get sucked into...

| Vancouver 2014 Review: EXIT Feels Pretty But Shallow Posted: 10 Oct 2014 03:00 PM PDT  Chienn Hsiang's second feature, Exit, is lovely to look at, and pleasant enough to watch, but ultimately feels inconsequential. Chen Shiang-chyi stars as Lingzi, a childlike middle-aged woman finds herself alone for a few weeks while her teenaged daughter visits her father--Lingzi's estranged ex-husband. Her thankless job as a seamstress is mostly solo work, and her hospitalized mother is too frail and ill to be much of a conversationalist, so Lingzi increasingly winds up daydreaming, and wandering through life in a bemused haze.In what is seemingly the core development of the film (though it, like other plot stands in the movie, never really goes anywhere), Lingzi fosters a strange bond with a man who is suffering in the same hospital room as her mother. He... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Busan 2014 Review: SUNRISE Plunges Us Into Noirish And Riveting Tale Of Child Abduction Posted: 10 Oct 2014 12:00 PM PDT  Indian cinema provides another jolt of electricity to the thriller genre with Sunrise, a tight, punchy neo-noir about child trafficking in Mumbai. Taking place at night, frequently under heavy rain and driven forward by a pulsating minimalist electro score, the sophomore feature of Partho Sen-Gupta comes fully stocked in the style department yet never loses sight of its narrative core, that of a detective haunted by the abduction of his daughter. Aruna disappeared at the age of six and ten years later her father, Detective Joshi, is still looking for her, traumatised by the loss and forced to care for a wife who was driven to insanity by the abduction. One night he discovers Paradise, a dark bar filled with sweaty men and suspiciously young... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Review: FURY Treads On Unsettled Ground Posted: 10 Oct 2014 11:00 AM PDT  I found myself liking Fury almost against my best judgment, ignoring some of its overt flaws in favour of enjoying the ride. It might be because I'm a sucker for claustrophobic battle films. It may have been Das Boot or Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan that first gave me those chills, but the notion of telling a story with the heightened action of life-or-death battle, combined with a claustrophobic setting, provides a raw kind of thrill. Plus, the notion of tank battles has long fascinated me. A tank is an impressive weapon until it's not, a rolling steel fortress that seems immune to all attacks until it's suddenly vulnerable, rendering it a sitting target. Some of the most taut moments in Saving... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Review: This ANIMAL Has Little Bite For So Many Teeth Posted: 10 Oct 2014 10:00 AM PDT  Five friends go for a hike into the woods. For two of them, siblings Jeff and Alissa, it is one last visit to an area where their family used to go camping, before developers take over the land. Alissa's boyfriend Matt is eager to impress her brother. Jeff's girlfriend Mandy might be out of her element in the woods. And fifth wheel Sean is along for the ride. They stay out later than they hoped and it is soon dark. On the way back, they come upon this Animal in the woods. It is a very aggressive animal that soon chases them to a boarded-up cabin. There they find other survivors from a prior attack. As the animal prowls around the cabin, looking for ways in, the... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Panna Rittikrai Exits In Style With Balls-Out Insane VENGEANCE OF AN ASSASSIN Trailer Posted: 10 Oct 2014 09:30 AM PDT  Weep for the loss of Panna Rittikrai for when the acclaimed Thai fight choreographer succumbed to illness earlier this year the fight world lost a simply enormous talent. While Rittikrai has often been viewed as a secondary player in the rise of Tony Jaa and Thai action cinema, known primarily as Ong Bak director Prachya Pinkaew's go-to fight guy, I have long been of the opinion that putting Rittikrai in any sort of secondary role does him a great disservice. As a performer and director he laid the groundwork for everything that Pinkaew has done since and, frankly, I think Rittikrai was a better director - one who knew his audience better and would go to absolutely any lengths to deliver adrenaline fueled thrills. Case... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Five Questions For HOUSEBOUND Director Gerard Johnstone Posted: 10 Oct 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Yes. Housebound is that good. No. We will not stop talking about it. When the opportunity came up to fire off some questions to the director, Gerard Johnstone, I went to the rest of the Twitch Film crew and by committee we came up with some questions for him. Twitch: During the Q&A at Fantastic Fest, producer Ant Timpson noted that you re-worked the movie extensively after the first rough cut. What were you aiming to achieve that was different than what had been shot originally? Gerard Johnstone: The movie had no soul. It was just Kylie saying witty one-liners. I stripped a lot of the dialogue out and tried to give it some space to breath. Mainly I was just trying to make it better. But yes, I... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Posted: 10 Oct 2014 08:30 AM PDT  The Morelia International Film Festival announced the final details for its 12th edition, which kicks off next Friday (October 17). It is overall a really impressive lineup and - as usual - Morelia will be premiering in Mexico some of the hottest films of the year. To begin with the latest announcements, we have confirmation that - as everyone predicted - the festival's opening film is Alejandro González Iñárritu's Birdman. The Mexican director himself will present the Michael Keaton starring picture in Morelia. The festival also confirmed the following Mexican premieres of international films: Black Coal, Thin Ice, Two Days, One Night, Diplomacy, Force Majeure, Goodbye to Language, Leviathan, Maps to the Stars, Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet, Timbuktu, Whiplash, and - on a very special 4DX screening...

| Posted: 10 Oct 2014 08:05 AM PDT  This week, Mitsutake Kurando's Gun Woman was shown at the Sitges festival, part of its worldwide tour since its world premier in Yubari (where our own James Marsh saw and reviewed it). The undisputed centerpiece, title character and star of Gun Woman is Japanese actress Asami, who impressively lifts the film to a higher level whenever she is on-screen. Her career path as an actress has been a strange one, starting in the hardcore adult industry and becoming more and more mainstream by way of extreme splattergore. But from the very first film I saw her in, she's managed to make me laugh. There is a kind of mischievous goofy face she can pull, combined with a talent for comedic timing, which renders me powerless... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Exclusive Clip: THE HACKER WARS, Trapwire, Hacktivists, And You Posted: 10 Oct 2014 07:00 AM PDT  What is "Trapwire," and why does it matter to U.S. residents? In an exclusive clip from The Hacker Wars, a documentary by Vivien Lesnik Weisman that opens in New York on Friday, October 17, we get a glimpse into the world of "hacktivists" and their dedicated efforts to open up things like Trapwire that the government wants to keep secret. Here is a lengthy description of the film, from its official statement: Get ready to be shuttled between story lines at lightning speed mirroring the disjointed lives of the protagonists and life on the Internet. The Hacker Wars - a film about the targeting of (h)ac(k)tivists and journalists by the US government. Hacktivists are either terrorists or freedom fighters depending on one's perspective on who should control information.Meet... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
