NEWS – Elm Street Writer for Final Destination 5

Published on: 26th April, 2010

I can’t say Eric Heisserer is a name I’m ever going to be too bothered about. First he was brought in to write the upcoming Platinum Dunes remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, then he was hired by Universal to scribe the ‘prequel’ to The Thing and now New Line have reportedly offered him [...]

TOP TEN Elm Street Kills

Published on: 25th April, 2010

Let’s face it, the Nightmare on Elm Street remake is gonna suck! As fooled as fans are by the imminent return of Freddy Krueger and as much as this movie is guaranteed to sell tickets, Platinum Dunes have no understanding of what makes a ‘proper’ horror film and instead fill their feature length music videos [...]

NEWS – Platinum Dunes Say ‘No’ to Friday the 13th Part 2

Published on: 22nd April, 2010

I remember it clearly: it was the 13th of February 2009 and I had finally become convinced that Platinum Dunes were about to bring back my all-time favourite slasher boogeyman in style. Once again, PD failed to deliver and Friday the 13th was a major disappointment. What was a surprise, however, was how much money [...]

NEWS – Stop the Press… the Radio Operator Has Been Cast in The Thing!

Published on: 19th April, 2010

Of all the remakes, reboots or whatever the Hell they’re called this week, this one I am most cynical about is The Thing. The irony, of course, is that this was already remade in 1982 by John Carpenter and the result was one of the finest horror movies ever made. So this begs the question [...]
