The streak of Terry Gilliam’s notoriously rotten luck is momentarily ending – his latest pseudo-fantasy Tideland has gone virtually unloved since least year’s Toronto Film Fest (though I would argue that any Gilliam movie is fascinating on some level), but is now finally making it to screens. The story follows a young girl (future hottie … Continue reading
After making a particularly dreadful real estate purchase in the Amityville Horror remake, toothy beauty Melissa George has been getting herself into some extremely bad situations. She’ll play a tourist on a vacation gone awry in Fox Atomic’s upcoming thriller Turistas, and now she’ll be battling bloodsuckers for an entire month. The Australian delicacy and … Continue reading

While writing about this makes me feel almost as foolish as when they announced a Slinky movie (they really did), the fact that someone will make millions from this idea merely leaves me queasy. Empire Pictures and Transcience Corp. are working on an animated feature film starring The Amazing Sea Monkeys, those wee beasties that … Continue reading
As Asian horror goes, One Missed Call was fairly generic, especially considering it came from psychotic director Takashi Miike. One thing in the remake’s favor is director Eric Valette (yeah, a French guy doing an American remake of a Japanese movie), whose last film Malefique was a rather taut little horror accomplishment. Though she’s probably … Continue reading
It must be sort of depressing to be Simon Pegg, in a way. I mean, while I’m sure he’s delighted with the quantity of projects now being offered to him, let’s face it — the odds of him continually finding more material as brilliant as Spaced and Shaun of the Dead (and Hot Fuzz, we … Continue reading
After what seems like a decade in the making, Brian DePalma’s hard-boiled thriller The Black Dahlia is finally making its way to theaters. Let’s hope the lengthy delay is not an indication of the film’s quality (maybe you saw DePalma’s Mission to Mars or Snake Eyes). The movie stars Aaron Eckhart and Josh Hartnett as … Continue reading
After a brief respite in Zimbabwe or wherever the hell he and significant other Angelina Jolie decided to download their spawn, chiseled thesp Brad Pitt is finally making a hat trick with his Seven (which I still refuse to write as Se7en, because it’s idiotic and people should stop) and Fight Club director David Fincher. … Continue reading
I like to believe regular CHUD readers are reasonably smart — astute enough to have found our site, and masochistic enough to keep returning. We’ve been running the Daily Graboid for nearly a year now to test your movie knowledge, but how about straining that noggin? The CHUD Thinker is a puzzle, rebus, pictogram, visual … Continue reading
Omnipresent megaproducer Joel Silver was at Comic Con this past weekend to help spread the word (and locusts) on his upcoming Warner Bros. supernatural thriller The Reaping, which stars Hilary Swank as a professional “myth debunker” who encounters an unexplainable phenomenon in a small Louisiana town. We sat down for a quick chat with “Lord” … Continue reading
