If you’re not already following Eric Powell’s absolutely awesome horror comic, The Goon, I’m going to suggest that you stop reading this right now and head out to your local comic shop/big-box book store that carries trade paperbacks and buy a couple of collections.  Seriously. Right now.  I’ll be here when you get back.
Back?  Did […]

Here we are out here in New Hampshire, fighting like hell to get two great movies shown and out there in Indiana (where all the cool kids live) they’re doing a three day fucking marathon of 50 flicks!  I’ll have what they’re having.  They must eat their wheaties!  If you’re in the area and you’re […]

I’m really not entirely sure what’s going on here but here are three names that should make you excited: Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris.
As far as I know, it’s a web-based series of shorts that looks alarmingly similar to the plot of Soon I WIll Be Invincible. Neil Patrick Harris plays some […]

I heard some people out there really liked Rob Zombie’s remake of the immortal John Carpenter slasher classic.  That’s between them and god, I guess, but while they wait for their chance to chat with their maker about their poor taste in movies, they can get comfortable, pop some popcorn and flood their senses with […]

I’ve been trying to play it cool about remakes but the recent mention of the Plan 9 From Outer Space remake and now this, The Day The Earth Stood Still is being remade with Keanu Reeves. I’m going to take the high road and not bag on Keanu as it is sometimes fashionable to […]

I passed up an opportunity a while back to see Blood Car but I’m told it’s pretty awesome in a completely ridiculous way. The new poster, which I’m told more or less conveys the tone of the movie perfectly, it starting to circulate around the web and it’s a gas (no pun intended, or […]

Since the bulk of the Cinema S staff is located up here in New England, we have a tendency to go house over our regional horror con, Rock and Shock. In particular, I’ve been to three of these shows, had to skip last year’s for personal reasons but I vow to be in attendance […]

Hope you weren’t banking on checking out Ryhuei Kitamura’s American debut, the adaptation of Clive Barker’s gory short story, Midnight Meat Train. Word came down from Lionsgate yet again that the release date was being pushed back again, this time to coincide with the release of The Mummy 3 on August 1st but that’s […]

Maybe you’ve seen the ads. There’s probably one on this page somewhere. Ryan and the Lost Zombies crew hit me up last week about their site and I loved it. I’ve been vocal about my personal burnout when it comes to zombies but let’s face it, they’re probably the easiest, most fun […]

I don’t know what to think anymore. It seems that the most common news items in the horror world is Movie X is going to be remade. It’s sad, but probably not as sad as the news that the trashy 70’s rape/revenge shocker, I Spit On Your Grave is being remade.
According to Bloody […]

Straight out of the what the fuck files comes this bit of info from Bloody Disgusting regarding a cross promotion between Platinum Dunes, the people behind a lot of the recent remakes, and Hasbro, the people who brought you Candy Land.  Hasbro acquired a lot of properties from Parker Brothers when they went tits up […]

This is probably the worst news I’ve heard all year. Maybe even last year. Worse than a remake of Red Dawn.
Darkstone Entertainment is gearing up to remake Ed Wood’s timeless piece of crap, Plan 9 From Outer Space. The official website states that the intention is to make it in Wood’s original […]

Word around Cannes was that Tony Jaa’s latest flick (also directed by the rising star, himself), tentatively titled Ong-Bak 2, was pretty bad ass. Plot details are still pretty thin but as it stands, Jaa plays a fighter raised by a collective of martial artists from different schools of fighting and as such he […]

I defy you watch this trailer and tell me that it doesn’t look like the greatest movie ever conceived. Astron-6 Video International turned up a lost direct to video gem (not really) from 1991 and put it on the internet for your downloading pleasure. It comes in Mp4 format and is tagged for […]

Critically acclaimed writer/director Seth Landau’s outstanding atmospheric chiller Bryan Loves You — a film yours truly has declared to be “an Orwellian nightmare for the YouTube generation” — is finally coming to DVD this fall thanks to genre-friendly distributor Anchor Bay. This eerie fact-based feature, starring Seth Landau, Tony Todd, George Wendt, Daniel Roebuck, Tiffany […]

I’ve been tolerant of remakes since the wave started gaining momentum mostly because there’s nothing I can do about them, people seem to like remakes and no one’s forcing me to see them but this has gone far enough.
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that MGM has two more on the slate, one that could potentially […]

I’ve never really thought about it, but there are plenty of scenes in Romero’s original masterpiece, Dawn of the Dead, that would go over fantastic if viewed through the red and blue lenses of a pair of 3-D glasses. I won’t lie to you. I LOVE 3-D. It’s a gimmick that I […]

I can’t say that I’m entirely excited about a special edition DVD release of the first Faces of Death movie but there’s really something to be said about it.  Before I saw it, back when I was a little kid combing the shelves at the video store, it had a dangerous allure.  A label proudly […]

A while back I reported that Fox and McG were in the process of producing an American flavored spin on the British comedy hit, Spaced.  I expressed great disappointment in this.  I also predicted that it would be cancelled after 5 episodes.
Looks like I was wrong.
American Spaced was cancelled after no episodes.
If you had any […]

I’m not one of the Donnie Darko fanclub. That bubbling cauldron of speculation as to just what the fuck that movie was about.  That dungeon of discussion about which version of the movie is the better version.  The theatrical cut or the director’s cut (answer: director’s cut).  I like it, but Donnie is a movie […]
