The Last Exorcism

Here's a cool new trailer that popped up online at Yahoo Movies for the upcoming (looks like August) film The Last Exorcism. Daniel Stamm directed this, but it's produced by Eli Roth (director of Cabin Fever and Hostel). It looks like the same cinema-verite style of horror as seen in "The Blair Witch Project," "[rec]," and "Paranomal Activity."

Synopsis: Exorcisms are still very common around the world today. According to the Archdiocese of New York, there were over 300 performed during the late '90s in the U.S. alone. Evangelical minister Marcus Cotton, who performed religious rites he did not believe in for years, is about to quit the business. But before he does, he agrees to let a documentary crew film his last exorcism. Things don't go as planned.

Frozen Trailer Is Out

The trailer from the guy who brought us Hatchet, Adam Green's, new movie Frozen is out and it looks pretty cool I think. I believe it's debuting at Sundance next year and who knows if it'll pop up in theaters or DVD after that. Where ever it is, I'll be looking forward to seeing it. I loved Hatchet and he also directed a decent little film called Spiral that you should look up sometime. He's working on Hatchet 2 from what I hear so maybe we'll get to see that in 2010 along with Frozen.

Here's the synopsis for Frozen:

A typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare for three snowboarders when they get stranded on the chairlift before their last run. As the ski patrol switches off the night lights, they realize with growing panic that theyve been left behind dangling high off the ground with no way down. With the resort closed until the following weekend and frostbite and hypothermia already setting in, the trio is forced to take desperate measures to escape off the mountain before they freeze to death. Once they make theirmove, they discover with horror that they have much more to fear than just the frigid cold. As they combat unexpected obstacles, they start to question if their will to survive is strong enough to overcome the worst ways to die.

Check out the trailer for yourself below:

The Power Of Toys Compels You

I found this on Figures.com. Check out this sweet collectible from one of my favorite movies of all-time, The Exorcist:


Now I'm not really sure why anybody would want this, or what they'd do with it for that matter... but damn it's cool. Would you want that sitting on your dresser so you could wake up to a noise in the middle of the night and see it? Or what if you were awakened to a voice saying "Your mother's in here, Karras. Would you like to leave a message? I'll see that she gets it." Yeah, not good.

Here's more from the link:

That time has come as select retailers are now accepting pre-orders on this eagerly awaited set (available for pre-order now at ToyWiz.com). Slated for release this fall (September/October) priced for under $39.99, the Deluxe Electronic EXORCIST Box Set will feature motorized head spinning action and will play sounds from the classic 1973 horror film.

Split pea soup not included. Sleepless nights guaranteed.

Indeed.

The Power of Blu-Ray Compels You!

Well I'm not one for double-dipping my DVDs and Blu-Rays, which means once I buy it on DVD or Blu-Ray I'm probably not going to ever upgrade to an "extended version" or "director's cut" or just go from DVD to Blu-Ray. I've only done it a few times that I can remember. But holy hell when I saw the specs for the Blu-Ray version of The Exorcist, which is one of my favorite movies of all-time, my head almost spun in circles. It's definitely a vulgar a display of power (anybody else even get that?). This baby comes with everything except Captain Howdy himself. I hope.

The version of the movie I have is the Director's Cut now, and it's the best way to watch it. Director William Friedkin said they completed about 12 minutes and added it in, the way he originally meant for the film to be and could now be done with the technical advances. You get all that and more.

Here's the specs for the 2-disc release which will hit Blu-ray on October 5, in a two-disc Digibook edition, packaged with a personal letter written by director William Friedkin inside a 40-page booklet:

Yes! Predators Trailer Is Here!

The new trailer for Predators is finally out and it was worth the wait as it looks fantastic. I'm looking more forward to July 9th now than ever.

"The film stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. With the notable exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers - mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members - human "predators" that are now being systematically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators."

Visit the official website for lots of goodies and further updates.

Clevver TV Previews Frozen

ClevverTV previews the new trailer for Adam Green's upcoming release "Frozen". I'm a fan of Adam's work thanks to the fun flick Hatchet a few years ago and he's now filming Hatchet 2 as well.

Here's the synopsis for Frozen: "Three skiers are stranded on a chairlift and forced to make life-or-death choices that prove more perilous than staying put and freezing to death."

The official website is up and has lots of goodies.

Frozen opens in US theaters February 5th, 2010.

Book Review: Succulent Prey

Succulent Prey
by Wrath James White

Synopsis: Could serial killers be victims of a communicable disease? Fifteen years ago, Joseph Miles was attacked by a serial child murderer. He was the only one of the madman’s victims to survive. Now he himself is slowly turning into a cannibalistic killer. He can feel the urges, the burning needs, getting harder and harder to resist. Can anything stop him—or cure him—before he kills the only woman he’s ever loved? Or before he infects someone else?

One thing is for sure... Wrath James White is a hardcore horror writer. He pulls absolutely no punches in his writings, something which you'd think I'd have learned reading his novel The Ressurectionist but apparently I needed to have the point driven home even more, and this book does just that. It's just as vile and disgusting... maybe even moreso.



I like the thought of serial killing being passed on and a search for a cure. Sadly, it didn't touch on this as much as I'd liked and instead concentrated more on the gore. I feel it might have been more effective with less gore, as I just sort of got numb to it.

The book starts out with a bloody bang and never lets up, and at times that was a problem for me. With such disturbing happenings coming at you like a machine gun, a break here and there for some character development would be welcome. Doesn't happen. I think this leaves all the characters pretty unsympathic and without a hero to cheer for, or without a horse in the race as the old timers might say, I'm not so sure I cared about the outcome any more than I was just sort of ready for the repulsiveness to end so I could take a shower and start a non-horror book.

But having said all that, it's a fast read and the story and graphic descriptions will stay with you. The pace is non-stop and I wanted to know what was going to happen next. This guy writes extreme horror so newbies to the genre will want to pass on this. It's bloody, gory, gross and stomach-turning... but hey, that's what extreme horror is. White is good and having read his newest book before this one so I can compare the 2... he's getting better.

Book Review: The Resurrectionist

The Resurrectionist
by Wrath James White

Synopsis: Dale McCarthy has a unique and miraculous ability. He can bring the dead back to life, though the resurrected have no memory of their deaths. But not every miracle comes from God, and not every healer is a saint. Dale sure isn't.

2 words.... holy %$@*! This is just a brutal read. I read an interview with the author, a kickboxer, where the interviewer had this lead-in:

"Reading his fiction is like stepping into the ring with him; it is a brutal, intense experience that will leave you gasping and defeated, shocked and beaten. Like a fist of fury his words pummel you beyond recognition until you have to go crying home to Mommy."

I got a chuckle out of that as it seems like the typical over-hype nowadays that's used to try to draw attention. You can see a label on the front of some horrible DVD that says "scariest movie ever!" or a movie poster for a pathetic film that says "the movie of the year!" and it all means nothing anymore.

Except this time. This interviewer hit the nail right on the head, and this book is my first example (of many I must add) of how this Mr. White's mind works. And it's absolutely a place where the majority of readers are going to be offended, shocked and repulsed to go. Guys like Jack Ketchum, Edward Lee, Richard Laymon and Brian Keene set and continually push the bar up in horror and then along comes somebody like Wrath who takes the bar off, covers it in blood and shoves it up your... well, let's just get on to the book itself.

The premise is cool, sick, twisted and original...a kid discovers he has the power to bring back the dead and heal their wounds. Problem is, this guy is a creepy little evil bastard and he grows up to be a creepy, perverted evil bastard. But he can't get a woman, so he rapes and kills them (sometimes in that order, sometimes not) and brings them back to life so they don't remember it. He also tortures some of them and their husbands and even puts one through a Ned Beatty scene. He moves in across the street from a young couple and becomes obsessed with the wife, who somehow figures out what's going on... and all hell breaks loose.

Yes, it's all as sick as it sounds and he goes over every last detail. There's a whole lot of sex and gore and it goes to some very taboo areas. It's very fast-paced, intense, has a lot of OMG moments while not backing down one inch. It's just scary as hell to immerse yourself in, which you can't help but doing because the characters are all so everyday type people (well, except for the psycho I hope) and believable. He does a good job of establishing them with back stories and making them feel like normal folks in an abnormal situation.

There's also a whole other subtext of why would God give a power to such a person and a real question of faith and faithlessness.

And there's violence. Tons of violence.

I would only recommend this book to a few of my friends who I think would feel the same way I do about it as big fans of horror literature, and also who can stomach it. Most people are going to want to just whistle and walk past this in the book store. Trust me, it's hardcore and it won't leave your brain anytime soon as you finish it. Wrath James White is the real deal.

Splice Looks Nice

The trailers for Dark Castle's upcoming film Splice are all over the net right now and I must say it looks pretty awesome. It's a sci-fi/horror film starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley.

Here's the plot synopsis:

Elsa and Clive, two young rebellious scientists, defy legal and ethical boundaries and forge ahead with a dangerous experiment: splicing together human and animal DNA to create a new organism. Named "Dren", the creature rapidly develops from a deformed female infant into a beautiful but dangerous winged human-chimera, who forges a bond with both of her creators - only to have that bond turn deadly.

Spit On This!

The trailer for the remake of the controversial 1979 cult classic I Spit on Your Grave is floating around the net and I just happened to have posted it below (thanks to YouTube user SuperScream4).

The official website is live now too, but is pretty much just a bookmark so far.

It's directed by Steven R. Monroe, who has mainly done a lot of SyFy originals like Wyvern and Ice Twisters. In fact his film Mongolian Death Worm debuts on SyFy this Saturday night I believe.

Plot: A writer who is brutalized during her cabin retreat seeks revenge on her attackers, who left her for dead.

The Cabin in the Woods Trailer

At first, this trailer looks like just another "teens in the woods" type movie... but then things get turned on their ass pretty quickly. I've been eager to see this movie since I first heard about it, and it looks like it'll finally hit theaters April 13th, 2012. Check out the awesome trailer below for The Cabin in the Woods, written by Josh Whedon (Serenity, Firefly, Angel) and Drew Goddard (Lost, Alias).

Storyline: A group of friends at a cabin retreat scratch the surface of something so massive and horrific that they can only begin to fathom it as time quickly runs out.



Release Date: April 13, 2012
Genre: Horror | Thriller
Director: Drew Goddard
Writers: Joss Whedon, Drew Goddard
Starring: Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth and Fran Kranz
MPAA: Rated R for strong bloody horror violence and gore, language, drug use and some sexuality/nudity

The Amityville Hauting Trailer

Don't ask me, but somehow they're still making movies about the Amityville house, where real murders did occur but all the ghost stories and such were seemingly hoaxed but it remains one of the most popular haunting accounts in American folklore. I guess truth never gets in the way of a good story. Well now production company The Asylum has a new film coming called The Amityville Haunting and here's what their website says:

"Earlier this year we were contacted by the estate of the Benson family who had briefly rented the infamous house on Long Island, New York. The family has since disappeared and the estate is determined to prove that the Bensons did not abscond to avoid paying their debts (as their banks and other creditors have claimed). Watch The Amityville Haunting on December 27, 2011 and decide the truth for yourself."

From this trailer it appears to be sort of a first-person shot/found footage type film. Seems sort of fun. We'll see I guess.

Black Light Book Trailer

This looks pretty cool. It's a trailer for a book that came out on Oct 5th (but somehow I've just now learned of it) by Patrick Melton, Marcus Dunstan and Stephen Romano called "Black Light". Who the hell are they and why do I care?!? Well, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunston only wrote the screenplays for Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw 3D, and The Collector, which Dunstan also directed. Currently, they are filming The Collection, and wrote Piranha 3DD. Stephen Romano is an acclaimed author, screenwriter and illustrator, having written for Showtime's excellent Emmy-winning original series Masters Of Horror. So yeah, that's enough for me. I'll be grabbing this immediately.



Here's a bit more on the description:

If you have a supernatural problem that won't go away, you need Buck Carlsbad: private eye, exorcist, and last resort.

Buck's got a way with spirits that no one else can match. He was normal, once. Until Something Horrible killed his parents and left him for dead.

Buck has spent years using his gift to trace his family. It's his only hope of finding out what happened to them-and what made him the way he is.

Now the voices say that something big is coming. Buck already knows what it is-a super high-tech bullet train running express across a stretch of unforgiving desert known for the most deadly paranormal events in history. A place where Buck almost died a few years ago, and where he swore he would never return.

But as the train prepares to rumble down the tracks, Buck knows it can only be the inevitable hand of fate pulling him back to the most harrowing unfinished case of his career at four hundred miles per hour.

"Visceral and cinematic ... over-the-top fun." (CNN.com )

"Ghostbusters with bloody mayhem on steroids." (Kirkus Reviews )

"Fun and exciting. A definite winner." (Booklist )

The Innkeepers Trailer Is Here

From Writer-director Ti West (director of The House of the Devil) comes a new horror offering, The Innkeepers. Not sure of an exact release date yet, but should be sometime in 2012 I'd guess.

The Innkeepers stars Sara Paxton (Shark Night 3D, The Last House on the Left) as Claire and Pat Healy (The Assassination of Jesse James) as Luke, a pair of co-workers at an aging New England hotel. The Innkeepers has received terrific reviews since its debut at the SXSW Festival and this trailer seems to have a pretty creepy atmosphere and a few jump-scares. Check it out below:

Synopsis: "After over one hundred years of service, The Yankee Pedlar Inn is shutting its doors for good. The last remaining employees -Claire and Luke - are determined to uncover proof of what many believe to be one of New England's most haunted hotels. As the Inn's final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage "ghost hunters" begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel's long unexplained history."

Where'd Ya Get Those Peepers?

I revisited another series for Halloween this past week, so I figured I share some thoughts. I remember going to the theater without high expectations for Jeepers Creepers when it came out in 2001, and really had no idea what to expect since I avoid reviews and the like as to not read any spoilers. What I got from the movie was a pleasant surprise... a nice little monster movie that's a lot of fun. Now after a sequel that I also enjoyed there's another film in the series currently being filmed: Jeepers Creepers III: The Creeper Walks Among Us. But let me not get ahead of myself too much. Back to the first film.

I guess what I liked so much about it stemmed from the fact that I had no idea what it was about. From the previews I thought it was a slasher film, but it's not that at all. It starts out as a brother and sister drive home from college to their parents house down a lonely stretch of highway (during the daytime). So stage 1 begins... a road movie. They get harassed by a guy in a huge, menacing truck along the way and eventually see him up to no good at an old church as they pass. Upon investigation of the church, they find a boatload of bodies and run like hell, so stage 2 begins... a chase movie that still feels like a slasher film. At some point while they're at an old ladies house (surround by cats) you realize that what's chasing them isn't a man at all, but a monster. So stage 3 kicks in... a monster movie. A bizarre winged, birdlike monster who like to snack on people. When they first see him in his truck, the vanity tag reads BEATNGU, which they assume means "beating you". After watching him munch on a few folks you realize that it really means "be eating you", although I'm not sure what monster would go through the trouble of getting a personalized tag on his vehicle implicating himself... it's still cool.

Of course it's not all good all the time. I mean it's a bit cliche' at many parts, the characters tend to behave in unrealistic ways at times (they return to the old church to look around... hello?) and I get tired of the sister being such a bitch, but I still enjoy watching it pretty much every Halloween now.

I love the old truck. I love the bad guy (known now as the Creeper). I love when Trish says "You know the part in scary movies when somebody does something really stupid, and everybody hates them for it? This is it." I like the guy who plays the brother, Derry (Justin Long aka the Mac in the Apples's MAC commercials among other roles). I like that the creature isn't overdone with CGI but a guy in costume. It's got good suspense and a nice visual look to it with a big final showdown and ending.

And since it was made for a budget of $10 mil and it grossed over $59 mil worldwide... you should have known there would be a sequel. Sure enough, 2 years later Jeepers Creepers 2 was released. In the first film, we learn the Creeper feeds for 23 days every 23 years, so part 2 is set just a few days after the first movie. This time a school bus driving on the same highway with a high school basketball team and some cheerleaders is attacked.

This time around I obviously knew going in it was a monster movie so the whole surprise is gone, but at least the Creeper begins smashing folks right off the bat this time. At the very beginning he tries to fake someone out as a scarecrow, as he does in the first movie, and you know things are going to get wild quickly this time around. After he snatches some kid, the kid's father (played excellently by Ray Wise) becomes hellbent on revenge ala Captain Ahab in Moby Dick. It adds a storyline to the kids on the school bus story and by the end the 2 stories collide in bloody fun.

What's not to like? Well, there's no Creeper truck in this one, which sort of sucks. Also the song the title of the series is based on doesn't even play until the credits. A couple of missed opportunities to tie it more to the first film if you ask me. Lastly, once again the director feels the need to put annoying kids together and let them bicker back and forth, like that's going to make the audience relate to them? It makes me want to choke them all. But on the plus side, Justin Long does cameo for a small dream type appearance.

At the box office, Jeepers Creepers 2 was made for a budget of $17 mil and took in over $63 mil worldwide, another success. Enough so that the 3rd film is underway, as I said above.

In Jeepers Creepers 3, Jonathan Breck will be back under the makeup as the beast again, and of course Ray Wise will reprise his role from the second film. The writer and director of all 3 movies, Victor Salva, promises that part 3 "brings back all the classic ideas of the first film, but brings them horrifyingly full circle. It also revisits characters from both, lets us learn more about what the Creeper is and, by popular demand, reintroduces the infamous Creeper truck."

The story will have a prologue set in the Old West that details how the Creeper became a terrifying part of Native American folklore and then jumps ahead to the ending of Jeepers Creepers II on the eve of a brand new 23rd spring.

According to Salva "one aspect of the third film features Trish (again played by Gina Philips from the original film), who, 23 years later, has a teenage son of her own, named Darry after her long lost brother. Trish is having a terrible recurring dream where her son meets the same terrible fate as her brother. Now a rich and powerful woman, Trish is determined to stop the Creeper once and for all."

Pencil me in for the first weekend of release, which from what I've heard will now be early 2011.

Here Comes Piranha 3-Double D

There's only 1 awards show on TV I watch and that's Spike TV's Scream Awards. Lots of horror and fantasy and all the good stuff plus it's wild and over-the-top, not all stuffy and pompous. In other words, it's fun.

Last night they debuted several new trailers and the most memorable one for my money would have to be this one for Piranha 3DD. Oh it's only about 30 seconds long... but what a glorious 30 seconds it is. Do you like piranhas? Blood? The Hoff? Gary Busey? Double-Ds in slow mo? Then perhaps you should feast your eyes on 2012's Citizen Kane!



Yes they're somehow invading a water park and yes Ving Rhames got munched in the first Piranha, but it appears as though he actually only lost his legs. And didn't it look like they were replaced with shotguns? Who hasn't wanted shotgun legs I ask you?!?!

Oh my, this movie is going to be AWESOME. Sometime in 2012... haven't seen an official release date.

Bag of Bones Trailer

It's been about a decade since I read Stephen King's "Bag of Bones" novel and frankly I don't remember a whole lot about it except that I enjoyed it and it was sort of spooky. In December, there's a four-hour A&E miniseries starring Pierce Brosnan and Melissa George that looks like it'll be pretty cool that's based on it. I think it was originally going to be a movie but they decided to make it a bit longer and the mini-series will be 4 1-hour episodes... so I've heard. Anyway, Mick Garris (“Sleepwalkers,” “The Stand,” “Desperation” and the Steven Weber version of “The Shining” (which I really like)) directed from a teleplay by Matt Venne ("Fear Itself").

The story centers on a rich novelist who seems to be getting advice from his late wife as he helps a young widow in a custody battle with her son’s wealthy grandfather.

John 5 Settles the Score for The Lords of Salem (DreadCentral.com)

John 5 Settles the Score for The Lords of Salem:

If there's one thing you can always count on in a Rob Zombie flick, it's that it will probably have a killer soundtrack. Today the rocker/filmmaker announced who'd be providing the tunes for his new flick, The Lords of Salem, via his Facebook page.

Zombie's current guitarist John 5 will be composing the score for The Lords of Salem, which begins lensing in just two weeks.

The flick stars Richard Lynch as the film's protagonist, "Reverend John Hawthorne"; Billy Drago as "Judge Samuel Mather," a key player in the history of the Lords; Dee Wallace as "Sonny," a self-help guru; Bruce Dern as Francis Matthias, author of the book "Satan's Last Stand - The Truth About The Salem Witch Trials"; Torsten Voges as Count Gorgann, lead singer of the Norwegian death metal band Leviathan the Fleeing Serpent; Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman "Whitey" Salvador, one third of "The Big H Team" at WIQZ - Salem's Rock Radio; Meg Foster as Margaret Morgan, the leader of a secret coven of witches in Salem; Ernest Thomas, who will play Chip "Freakshow" McDonald, the station manager at Salem's #1 rock station; and Sheri Moon Zombie.

Jason Blum, Steven Schneider, and Oren Peli of Haunted Pictures are producing as well as Zombie regulars Andy Gould and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones.

Synopsis

Heidi, a blonde rock chick, DJs at a local radio station and, together with the two Hermans (Whitey and Munster), forms part of the "Big H Radio Team".

A mysterious wooden box containing a vinyl record arrives for Heidi, "a gift from the Lords". She assumes it's a rock band on a mission to spread their word. As Heidi and Whitey play the Lords' record, it starts to play backwards, and Heidi experiences a flashback to a past trauma.

Later Whitey plays the Lords' record, dubbing them the Lords of Salem, and to his surprise, the record plays normally and is a massive hit with listeners.
