I haven’t seen Adam Green’s Hatchet, but after spending some time on the phone with the guy I can’t wait for it. The film is having its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this week; don’t be surprised if the next time you hear about this movie it’s when the big bucks distribution deal … Continue reading
It’s been ages since I heard about a remake of the cheesy 80s creature feature whose acronym title has provided considerable mileage for this site, but it sounds like the Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers are clawing to the surface once again. iFMagazine chatted up schlock helmer Tim Cox, whose directing credits include a couple of surprisingly fun … Continue reading
Hey, remember this? A lot of you (well, more than two) have asked why the column has been absent for some time. Well, there are a few reasons.

Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
The already distended cast of Ocean’s 13 has become swollen by one more: actor-turned-overactor Al Pacino has joined the questionably necessary threequel (of a remake). Nobody is divulging any real details of the movie (penned by Rounders cats Brian Koppelman and David Levien), but Pacino will play a Vegas casino owner who is probably gruff … Continue reading
Recurring actor-director unions have yielded some enduring successes. Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Robert DeNiro and Martin Scorsese. Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney. Toshiro Mifune and Akira Kurosawa. Guillermo del Toro and Ron Perlman. Albert Pyun and Tim Thomerson. Will Viggo Mortensen and David Cronenberg also soon join the ranks of these immortal duets? Mortensen … Continue reading

We’ve got copies of their latest DVD release, The Heirloom from Taiwanese director Leste Chen, to give away gratis to a few lucky readers. The official line on the flick: Twenty … Continue reading
