NEWS – Xtro 4 to Begin Shooting This Summer

Published on: 8th March, 2010

With Hollywood digging up every old fossil from the 1970s and ’80s and giving them the attractive MTV makeover, fans of old school schlock may be interested to know that there are still the occasional sequels produced. Whilst the follow-up to The Lost Boys may have been a total disaster, one classic that is set [...]

Looks like Hollywood’s obsession with remakes is rubbing off on other countries now, as Britain’s Hammer Films have announced that they plan to bring back some of their classics for modern audiences.

NEWS – Alien Prequel in 3D?

Published on: 5th March, 2010

When remakes, reboots and sequels become tiresome there is always one way to resurrect a fledging franchise… the prequel. If the story has run its course, why not show fans how it all began? Sadly, however, this technique never seems to work, as prequels very rarely live up to their predecessors and become as unnecessary [...]

NEWS – Todd McFarlane Hopes to Make a More Faithful Spawn Movie

Published on: 4th March, 2010

If the last Spawn movie is to be remembered for anything it is the soundtrack. Blending rock groups (such as Marilyn Manson and Metallica) with dance artists (like The Crystal Method and Moby), the accompanying album proved a big hit with the alternative crowd back in 1997. But the movie itself was something of a [...]

NEWS – Trailer for Romero’s Survival of the Dead

Published on: 4th March, 2010

There are zombie movies and then there are George A. Romero zombie movies. Having re-invented the genre in the late 1960s with the seminal masterpiece Night of the Living Dead, he was returned to the concept time and time again with the spatter epic Dawn of the Dead and the criminally underrated Day of the [...]

NEWS – Tacky Poster Released for A Nightmare on Elm Street

Published on: 4th March, 2010

Whilst slasher fans remain blindly optimistic about the fate of Freddy Krueger this April (Friday the 13th became a phenomenal success, despite being an abomination), some of us have already accepted that this upcoming remake is going to be nothing less than a disaster. Platinum Dunes have a track record of all-style-no-substance horror movies that [...]

NEWS – Possible Director for Dracula Movie The Last Voyage Of The Demeter

Published on: 3rd March, 2010

There are moments in both movies and literature where the author decides that a certain sequence is somewhat irrelevant to the overall action and so merely references it before continuing onto more important plot points. What was in Marsellus Wallace’s briefcase in Pulp Fiction? Had Quentin Tarantino showed us, would we have been as interested? [...]

NEWS – Predators Footage to be Previewed at SXSW

Published on: 3rd March, 2010

It’s hard to know what to expect from Predators, the revival of the long-dormant franchise that came to an abrupt end in the early 1990s with the death of Kevin Peter Hall, who portrayed the eponymous hunter. Is it a remake, a legitimate sequel or one of those remakes we all know and love?
No one [...]

NEWS – The Thing… Remake… Reboot… Who Cares?

Published on: 2nd March, 2010

Whilst John Carpenter’s classic monster movie The Thing itself was a remake, it is still frustrating to know that Universal are still going ahead with their latest remake/reboot. Directed by Dutch filmmaker Matthijs van Heijningen (who produced Dick Maas’ 1983 thriller De Lift/The Lift), the word is that the movie will be set before the [...]

NEWS – Best Worst Movie Lands Distribution

Published on: 1st March, 2010

I’ve never agreed with the reputation that Troll 2 has earned over the years as one of the worst movies ever made. It’s terrible, no doubt about that, but it was also a product of both its time and environment. Although the credits listed the director as one Drake Floyd, the man responsible was in [...]
