Here is a pic I made yesterday...

I just finished watching a fun film called INFESTATION. It would be classified under the "Monster movie" sub genre of the Horror genre. The movie is about bug....huge bugs. Here is the plot synopsis from the back of the DVD:
THE HORRIBLY SLOW MURDERER WITH THE EXTREMELY INEFFICIENT WEAPON was written and directed by filmmaker Richard Gale. It is a short film running about 10 minutes in length and is one of the funniest horror parodies I have ever watched. The short film is shot in the style of a movie trailer. While having one of the greatest titles of any film I have ever seen, it also boasts one of the best tag lines ever: "It will kill you. Even if it takes the rest of your life". That will make more sense after actually viewing the film. Do yourself a favor and watch this now...it is hilarious! Thanks to my buddy Scott Baker for finding this hilarious short film and pointing it out to me!
While watching PARANORMAL ACTIVITY again the other night at the theater, I saw a preview for this new film called THE FOURTH KIND. Here is the plot from imdb.com:

The 12th Anniversary Halloween issue of RUE MORGUE magazine is on sale now! For those that don't know about RUE MORGUE magazine, check out their website HERE. RUE MORGUE covers all the best in Horror, focusing mainly on movies and DVD's, but they also cover books, comics, video games, etc. They cover new movies and DVD's, as well as old classic horror films.
Did you know that you can forget to breathe? I didn't either until viewing PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. At one point I started feeling weird and realized I hadn't taken a breath in a while. I took a deep breath and felt much better. A scene was so intense, I actually forgot to breathe for a few seconds....awesome!! I have heard mixed reviews on this film. Some people love it, some hate it. I don't understand how you could hate this movie. I thought it was great from start to finish. For those that don't know the plot, it is very simple. A couple, Katie and Micah, moves into a house and start hearing noises and noticing things being moved around. Micah brings home a video camera one day and sets it up at night to try to get a glimpse of anything out of the ordinary. That's it pretty simple! But what he records on his camera is not so simple to understand or justify. I love how the movie starts out with something simple like a door moving a little bit back and forth, and then each night gets more and more complicated, with crazy sounds, shadows caught on camera, and then eventually, the crazy final night (which I wont reveal here in case some have not seen it yet).
While browsing on video site Crackle.com, I noticed they are hosting a Zombiefest, showing the new web series WOKE UP DEAD starring Jon Heder (of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE fame), some clips from the film ZOMBIELAND, and showing 16 full feature Zombie "classics", all free of charge! The full length movies being shown are listed below (you can click on them right from here to watch the film!)
Once again we get a great Horror related post from my buddy Scott Baker's Blog. A few posts back he linked to Sci-Fi Wires list of "16 horror movie posters so gruesome they make our eyeballs bleed". After reading that, I saw this link, "Our 9 favorite crazy zombie kills of all time (video)". This list gives you a brief description of the greatest zombie kills and then gives you the clip from each film for you to watch! It is awesome to go through and watch all these great scenes...true horror fans will probably have seen them all already, mostly mainstream horror stuff here, but they are still fun to see again!
Thanks to my buddy Scott for pointing out this trailer to me. He posted about it on his blog, so thought I would share it with you. I am a sucker for Zombie movies....even bad ones, which this might be, but still looks like it could be fun. Scott mentions to watch for the scene with the zombie and the weedeater...funny stuff!


The other night I had the privilege of watching a great film, THE HILLS RUN RED. This is a direct-to-dvd horror film, but don't let that fool you. The film was very worthy of a theatrical release and should have been shown theatrically to a wide audience. I hope fans of horror will find this film and watch it. This was one of the more enjoyable horror films I have seen in a long time. In fact, I can honestly say it is one of my new favorite horror films!! The plot involves a group of teens obsessed with finding a horror film called "The Hills Run Red" that played only one time in the theater, then was promptly pulled due to its horrific content. The film was lost forever and the director never heard from again. When the lead character Tyler hears about this, he is obsessed with finding a print of the film to see it for himself. He finds the daughter of the director, Wilson Wyler Concannon, and asks for her help in finding a print of the film. She agrees to take him to her father's old house in the woods where the movie was shot. Once there, all hell breaks loose and they figure out that Wilson Wyler Concannon might not be quite done with his film after all. Maybe he is still shooting his "Director's Cut" and Tyler and his friends might have starring roles!! The film is full of good scares, great gore, and is a great horror film for fans of slasher movies.
Last night I watched the 1974 Jean Rollin film, LES DEMONIAQUES (DEMONIACS). For those not familiar with Jean Rollin, he is a French born director known mainly for this many Vampire films. DEMONIACS was a little different, it was actually the first movie I saw of his that wasn't about Vampires. The film is about a group of "wreckers" that lure ships into the rocky shore and they ravage the ships and rape and kill people on board. On one night, after two beautiful young women emerge from the wreckage, they rape and kill them. Or do they? Suddenly the leader of the wreckers is seeing visions of them. Are they haunting him or did the girls mysteriously come back to life to life to seek revenge on those that raped and beat them? It seems as though the girls did come back and are headed to a monastery where a demon is being help captive (apparently to Jean Rollin, a demon is an over actor in a gaudy costume with bad dialog). Anyway, if they free this "demon" and surrender their bodies to him, then his power will transfer to their bodies for one night...long enough for them to use them against the wreckers and take their revenge upon them. Oh, and did I mention said "demon" was guarded by a woman dressed up like a circus clown...because "no one would think to look for a demon being guarded by someone is such a crazy outfit"! HA!

Just released is the long awaited trailer for the remake of George A. Romero's THE CRAZIES. While some are saying this can not be as good as the original, I will be going in with an open mind having yet to see the original (the DVD of the original is on my ebay watch list!). I think this trailer looks terrific, lots of suspense and chances for some good gore scenes. Just for fun, I went and watched the original trailer (link included below) after watching the new trailer just to compare. The original trailer looks great, but it is dated and looks like a perfect candidate for an update. The plot is simple and revolves around the inhabitants of a small Iowa town who are suddenly beset by death and insanity after a plane crash lets loose a mysterious secret biological weapon into the water supply. The film is planned for a theatrical release on Feb. 26th, 2010.
It is a 3D HD film shown on 3 different screens. You are seated on a rotating platform that spins at 15rpms from one screen to the next. The seats are equipped with speakers and sensors the release smoke, water, wind, sound, and even foul scents! There are animatronic figures that pop out from time to time as well. Also, they have programmed an interactive system that allows you to shoot at the zombies coming at you on the screen. The top few scorers will be pictured up on the screen at the end. This was a great experience and something I will defiantly do again next time I am in Branson.
