The Signal is a pretty great and definitely unusual small horroresque movie that I caught at this year’s LA Screamfest. When a strange signal begins to be emitted from all broadcast devices like TVs and radios, people start to go psychotically nuts, murdering the shit out of each other. Presented as a triptych of interwoven … Continue reading →
Here’s three things you have to remember with the Screen Actors Guild Awards: 1) the actors comprise the biggest bloc of AMPAS voters, 2) they accurately predicted Crash‘s upset of Brokeback Mountain, and 3) they inaccurately predicted Bobby‘s Best Picture nomination. Oh, and one more thing to consider: they went for Little Miss Sunshine over … Continue reading →

Of course when your greater films are masterpieces like Pan’s Labyrinth and The Devil’s Backbone, even your lesser films are pretty fucking good.

I was fairly certain that Denzel would decline, but, hey, it never hurts to ask. As for Nate, whom I’d never seen in anything before, I was going on the … Continue reading →
Sam Raimi is going back to his horror roots with his next movie, directing a low(er than Spider-Man 3‘s) budget supernatural thriller he cowrote with brother Ivan way back in 1992, right after they wrote Army of Darkness. Called Drag Me To Hell, the film is about someone who gets cursed (The Curse was the … Continue reading →
We have an exclusive clip from Michael Haneke’s remake of his own film, Funny Games, which is going to be premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and then hitting theaters in February. Two creepy young men take a family hostage in their own home and begin torturing them by making them take part in … Continue reading →
Last night I was talking to CHUD’s box office guru Andre Dellamorte about Cloverfield, the JJ Abrams produced giant monster movie. I had recently heard that the last FX shots for the film were due yesterday, and with the movie only a couple of weeks away, I was figuring that screenings would have to start … Continue reading →
