Dolfan in NYC Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 THE TOXIC AVENGER Starring Peter Dinklage, Kevin Bacon, & Elijah Wood -- This is the movie that premiered at Fantastic Fest '23. Releases wide on August 29 1
Curt McGirt Posted March 21 Posted March 21 (edited) I'm pissed that they put out a trailer, or even a photo of Dinklage since they kept everything under wraps for so long. Dunno if I even wanna watch it, should I? Also: why would anyone hold a meat cleaver upside down? EDIT: I watched it. Looks funny, but I would probably watch anything with Toxie in it so I'm biased. Hopefully they did mostly practical effects in honor of Jennifer Aspinell's incredible work on the first one. Edited March 21 by Curt McGirt
Curt McGirt Posted March 23 Posted March 23 (edited) In an all-time first (Halloween III doesn't count IMO): https://www.fangoria.com/john-carpenter-bong-joon-ho-horror/ EDIT: Oh yeah, and John is getting his own star on the Walk of Fame next month Edited March 24 by Curt McGirt 1

zendragon Posted March 30 Posted March 30 Saw the trailer for The Shrouds last night, seems interesting. Also I have a ticket to see John Carpenter do his thing live 2
(BP) Posted March 31 Posted March 31 The Rule of Jenny Pen: I’ve seen this aptly described as a gender-swapped hagsploitation movie. If we’re getting Bill and Ted doing Waiting for Godot on stage, surely Broadway has room for John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush in Whatever Happened to Baby John? Anyway, Lithgow at 80 is still fucking terrifying, and his character here enters the pantheon of creeps and psychos he’s portrayed during his career. It’s a bit longer than necessary, but it manages to be both a gripping character study about end of life care while also being a creepy potboiler about a violent battle of wills between a principled misanthrope and a human monster he can’t quite comprehend. *** 1
(BP) Posted April 8 Posted April 8 825 Forest Road: Found footage auteur Stephen Cognetti, creator of the Hell House LLC franchise, directs his first traditional narrative feature. Cognetti has a talent for creating spooky scenarios and shooting them to maximum effect, and there’s a few of those moments here. The problem is it’s otherwise a rather tepid American J-horror (vengeful spirit curses small town and takes out an ensemble cast in a series of disjointed vignettes.) Even the scenes that work are mined from very similar moments in the Hell House movies. I was disappointed that Cognetti doesn’t stretch himself artistically, and he shows here that he needs a writing partner to mold and define his ideas. He has a new non-found-footage Hell House movie coming out next; that franchise has its ups and downs, but I’m still hopeful Cognetti will learn from his mistakes on this picture. **

Curt McGirt Posted April 20 Posted April 20 Yes, there is an Indian Nightmare on Elm Street ripoff Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KS-_qsw4lVg This one is even funnier because it's the audio of the original Nightmare teaser set to the video of that movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXCxX8WBl4k
RIPPA Posted April 22 Posted April 22 https://youtu.be/GTowMnn-8sk?si=nVpRzaJJ6zPvrvj2 Weapons Directed by Zach Cregger (Barbarian) Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, with Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan. Very brief teaser but enough to go "well this is gonna fuck some people up"

It's actually really fun. Sold it after it went OOP though and have regretted it. 1
RIPPA Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Per Hollywood Reporter - Urban Legend is officially getting rebooted. No further info was revealed (ie: director or cast)

Curt McGirt Posted April 28 Posted April 28 In Search of Darkness 1990-94 was pretty good. They weren't afraid to get down and dirty and talk about The Burning Moon, Schramm, and Nekromantik 2. It is still six hours long but what the hell, all the movies are great. The one missing link that I was surprised didn't get brought up was Alien 3; they had a lot they could talk about there and it didn't get one mention. 1

bobholly138 Posted May 10 Posted May 10 Bloody Axe Wound aint bad. Kind of a dumbed down Leslie Vernon. Think it is streaming on Shudder.
odessasteps Posted May 12 Posted May 12 I just saw our local regal is showing Re Animator Monday night. Very tempting since I have the night off. 1
Brian Fowler Posted May 16 Posted May 16 Clown in a Cornfield is a pretty good modernized 80's slasher. Comedic, but not very much of that awful self-aware humor. Final Destination Bloodlines is a blast.
