From my experience, horror films are always the most interesting but least attended films at smaller film festivals as festival audiences seem to be more interested in stories about losing your virginity than werewolves and zombies. However, two venues in Telluride, Colorado hope to serve that small group of dedicated art-house horror fans with three days of horror films from around the world at the 3rd annual Telluride Horror Show.
Below is the list of films scheduled to screen at the Telluride Horror Show, which takes place on October 12, 13, and 14, 2012.
The 3rd annual Telluride Horror Show is a 3-day “genre fans will experience the latest horror films from all over the world in Telluride’s historic Sheridan Opera House and Nugget Theatre. The festival screens an average of 20 feature films and 25+ short films and hosts special programs, guests, and a party or two. The Telluride Horror Show was named one...

Elevator
Stars: Christopher Backus, Anita Briem, John Getz, Shirley Knight, Michael Mercurio, Devin Ratray, Joey Slotnick, Tehmina Sunny, Waleed Zuaiter | Written by Marc Rosenberg | Directed by Stig Svendsen
Nine people trapped in a lift facing death? Is this M. Knight Shyamalan’s Devil? Nope this is Elevator. A low-budget genre flick that does more with its limited resources than Devil ever did. A slow-burning, tense thriller that both knows, and plays with, genre conventions, the film sees nine people – Henry Barton (whose cocktail party they are all attending), his precocious granddaughter, two office executives, a glamorous TV news presenter, a pregnant woman, a nervous pensioner, the evening’s comic entertainer and a bodyguard – trapped in a lift after Barton’s granddaughter presses the emergency stop button as a practical joke on the claustrophobic, and obnoxious, comedian. Only one of the nine has a grudge against the Barton and his investment...

We recently visited the set of Elevator, an independent film that takes place on, you guessed it, an elevator. During a party for the Barton Investment Company, nine people end up trapped in the elevator of a Manhattan hi-rise and discover someone has a bomb. The result is a story of racial tension, financial scandal, scorned lovers, and revenge.
The key here is that the action occurs Entirely on an elevator. With the exception of one brief establishing scene at the start of the film, the nine-member cast spends 90 minutes confined to a small metal box as the drama unfolds around them.
It is written and produced by Marc Rosenberg, a Texas native transplanted to Australia, who is back in the States making his first U.S. film with Norwegian director Stig Svendson. Tor Arne Øvrebø, Svendson's line producer on many projects prior to Elevator, is...

Daniel Radcliffe has signed on to star in December Boys, his first project outside the Harry Potter franchise that brought him worldwide fame. The long-nurtured project, based on the novel of the same title by Michael Noonan, revolves around four young orphan boys in 1960s Australia. Having all but given up hope of ever being adopted, the tight-knit friends are on a seaside holiday one summer when they find themselves competing for a place in the home and family they all long for. Los Angeles-based television director Rod Hardy (The Practice) will return to his Australian homeland to direct the film, and Richard Becker (The Real Macaw), managing director of entertainment production and distribution outfit the Becker Group, will produce. The screenplay was adapted by Marc Rosenberg (Serpent's Lair).
