Cinema Suicide

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 [...]

Boing Boing is not typically a stop in my daily sweep of feeds looking for news that you might find interesting while remaining appropriate to the site.  BB is definitely one of the most interesting sites on the web but they’re usually hung up on the politics of the interwebs, steampunk papercraft and ridiculous Youtube [...]

So the photo above kind of sucks and I plan on doing a good shoot with a better camera but I was so excited about this that I couldn’t wait to show them off. I just got them today and they’re the shit! The front-side bears the logo in all its 3-color glory [...]

Would you look at that thing? I love silk screened posters. I’m a real big fan of guys like Coop (early coop, his fat devil-girl porno posters turned me off big time), Frank Kozik and Sheppard Fairley. I even own an old Coop poster for a White Zombie show featuring Bettie Page in [...]

Back around 1997/98 it seemed like you couldn’t browse the new releases at your local video store without seeing fewer than a dozen end times movies. The approaching new millennium (Willennium?) scared the pants off a lot of people and created a cinematic boomtown for low budget mega-church financed armageddon movies. Christsploitation flicks [...]

I’ll come clean. I have avoided news about Beyond The Rave for one shallow reason alone. They use the word Rave in the title. Maybe it’s that the Return of the Living Dead sequel, Rave To The Grave left a really bad taste in my mouth or maybe it’s that the whole [...]

Seems like things are really happening around here.  I’ve been putting my link just about everywhere I can get it and I’m really starting to reap the rewards of incessant blog marketing.  I have people contacting me all the time to look at the trailer for their indie movie in hopes of getting some press.

Typically, I wouldn’t direct you to Dread Central’s Evilshop because, hey!  What’s in it for old Cinema S?  Am I right?  Well, this is something really cool and as a fan of sweet pint glasses I present to you the opportunity to own a little Shaun of the Dead memorabilia.  It features the Winchester coat [...]

I love Joe Dante and I guess that’s why I’m willing to let his return to horror features slide. Joe is about embark on a dark journey into the void of creative corruption but it’s not nearly as bad as remaking Prom Night for a soft PG-13 theatrical run or My Bloody Valentine in [...]
