Mr. Video
Mr. Video is a fifteen minute horror/comedy short that I was glad to be able to check out that comes from us courtesy of our friends from across the pond in the U.K. Usually in these films the comedy is sometimes lost in translation and I can tell you I am definitely one of those people who doesn’t get a lot of it. But this short still manages to keep its comedy intact and entertain with some great horror elements as well.
Pathology Red Band Trailer
I didn’t know this movie was going to be as sexual. Be careful watching this if you are at work.
When med school student Ted Gray (Milo Ventimiglia) graduates top of his class he joins one of the nation’s most prestigious Pathology programs. With talent and determination Ted is quickly noticed by the program’s privileged and elite band of pathology interns who invite him into their crowd. Intrigued by his new friends he begins to uncover secrets he never expected and finds that he has unknowingly become a pawn in their dangerous and secret after-hours game at the morgue of who can commit the perfect undetectable murder.

BioShock 2 Announced
According to the game gurus at IGN BioShock 2 is set for release in October ’09. This game has gotten INSANE rave reviews. I tried to play it on my computer which is a top of the line Toshiba with ALL the bells and whistles but it ran like shit so I gave up. To give you an idea I run Half Life 2 jacked up on the highest settings. So I was shocked Bioshock wouldnt play for me. But I am sure those of you who have played it are stoked for #2 since the first one has gotten such rave reviews.
New Alien Destruction in Uprising
There is a new flick in the works called UPRISING. Its a common theme done many times, its about an Alien race that conquers earth and how mankind must unite to throw off the yolk of those darn evil aliens. You ever notice how Aliens are never loveably and cuddly? They always have ray guns or three heads with two that want to eat you and the third one that is in-different.
Wolfgang Peterson will direct and the script is being written by Charles Leavitt who wrote Blood Diamon according to Variety. I am all for SciFi horror so i will give this one a shot.
Lena Headey Joins Tell Tale Heart

The MTV Movies blog caught up with stars Brian Cox and Josh Lucas who revealed a couple details about the film.

Well, the first one will be a Mad Max game. Because what happened was, we were all ready to go, within eleven weeks of shooting the next Mad Max movie, Fury Road. Read the rest of this entry »
Top 10 Horror Remakes That Dont Suck!
Top Ten ACCEPTABLE Remakes:
10. Halloween (2007) I know I’m gonna catch a lot of heat right out of the gate for this one, but I don’t care. Carpenter’s Halloween is one of my all-time favorite films and I have a sentimental attachment to it as well. I love this movie as much as you can love a movie but I can still appreciate Zombie’s effort. Let me tell you why. Rob Zombie is a fan. He didn’t remake this film for revenue and he didn’t change it up (like the TCM remake). He kept the same characters, the same plot, the music, the mask, etc. This was a loving homage done in his style. I can dig that. If anyone else had done it and attempted to copy the perfection that is the original, I would have blasted it to Hell. Trust me, you know I don’t stand for that. But Zombie’s film is a tribute done the way only Zombie could do it. Of course I have some issues with it (a little too heavy on the white trash angle if you ask me) but I can appreciate where he was going. Plus it has a kickass soundtrack.

Dead By Dawn Coming Soon
Backwoods Entertainment are currently working on a couple of horror films. But the one that has really caught our eye is called Dead By Dawn. The title alone could inspire plenty of different horror stories but this one in particular is going to take place during the most wicked night of them all.. Halloween.
