Our Stephen King screen lookbacks arrive at Sleepwalkers, a movie based on an unpublished short story...
The film: Charles Brady (Brian Krause) and his mother, Mary (Alice Krige) are sleepwalkers, which are a sort of werecat vampires who feed on virgin women in order to survive. The only things that threaten them are cats, who show up wherever they go. After draining a girl in Bodega Bay, they set up residence in Travis, Indiana with their sights set on local teen Tanya Richardson (Mädchen Amick) for their next feed. Mary is one mother you don’t won’t like when she’s hangry.

It won Kathy Bates an Oscar for her role as Annie Wilkes. We take a look back at the adaptation of Stephen King's Misery...
The film: Paul Sheldon (James Caan) has just finished a new book, his first since he decided to end his bestselling Misery Chastain series by killing off his eponymous heroine. On his way to deliver the manuscript, he crashes his car and is severely injured. He’s rescued by local resident Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), who just happens to be his “number one fan”. However, when Annie finds out that the author has killed off her favourite character, Paul’s recovery turns into a nightmare.

Mother's Day is this Sunday, May 14th, which means it’s a perfect time to give thanks to all the mothers who are known as some of the best horror movie villains. Whether they were murderous themselves, like Mrs. Voorhees, or provided the necessary seeds, like Norma Bates, horror just wouldn’t be the same without some seriously off-script (developmentally speaking) mothers.
Before we get to horrific human mothers, though, it’s important to point out that in the animal kingdom, infanticide (killing offspring within their first year of life) and neglect is actually pretty common, and many times it’s an issue of resource allocation. If you were lucky enough to have hamsters growing up (or friends with hamsters, in my case), you may have witnessed this in horror firsthand: the mother hamster not only killing, but likely consuming one or more of her litter. While beyond disturbing, especially...

Over the past few decades, almost everything ever written by Stephen King has been filmed for either TV or the silver screen; however, very few of these adaptations have come close to matching the extremely high standard set by Carrie the first King novel to receive the movie treatment, way back in 1976 (which is when I first saw it at the old Webster Groves Cinema – double feature with Demon Seed!).

As a man with multiple personalities (23, to be exact), James McAvoy is enthralling to watch in in M. Night Shyamalan's Split, but just as intriguing is his psychiatrist, Dr. Karen Fletcher, played by the great Betty Buckley, who plays a nail-biting mental chess match with her multi-dimensional patient in some of the film's most fascinating scenes.
With Split now out on Blu-ray and DVD from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Buckley (whom many may know as Abby Bradford from Eight is Enough) about working with Shyamalan on both Split and The Happening, playing Miss Collins in Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976) and Margaret White in the ’80s Broadway musical adaptation of Stephen King's seminal novel, her new album Story Songs, and more.

Brian De Palma’s adaptation of Stephen King’s tale of a bullied girl taking revenge was both empowering and troubling, with nearly all female main characters
Practically the first scene of Carrie, released 40 years ago today, shows a girl’s high school locker room, complete with not very blurred full frontal nudity. The scene, famously, concludes with Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) experiencing her first period in the shower. Carrie has been kept in ignorance by her repressive, mentally unstable mother Margaret White (Piper Laurie), and the sudden rush of blood reduces her to a quivering, terrified wreck as the other girls mock her.

First of all, before I start this, I just want to point out that my childhood, despite various factors, was still really great and I’m truly grateful that I grew up the way that I did. My circumstances allowed me to learn a lot and grow to be fiercely independent, and much of that is still something that I carry with me. But the reality is that I did grow up in a home with only a single mom (for most of the time), which meant my childhood was a lot different than many kids I grew up with. And at times, I felt like the odd girl out—but all that changed when I really got into horror.
I spent the first 14 years of my life living in a trailer park in Des Plaines, Illinois, practically a stone’s throw away from the O’Hare International Airport. We...

Piper Laurie Keeps Her Chin Up
By Alex Simon
Few living actors can claim to have experienced the Hollywood machine in all its iterations more than three-time Oscar nominee Piper Laurie. Signed by Universal Pictures at 17, their youngest contract player in years, she was in the last generation that were part of the Hollywood “factory,” pushed into “cheesecake” roles that accented physical attributes, as opposed to talent. It was the beginning of a journey.
She was born Rosetta Jacobs in Detroit, Michigan, on January 22, 1932, to immigrant parents of Polish and Russian Jewish descent. When she was still five, the family sent her and her sister to a children’s sanatorium in the mountains to see if her sister’s asthma could be cured. Three years later after being reunited with her family she decided she wanted to become an actress and studied with Benno and Betomi Schneider for several years...

The new royal baby is finally here - but our minds keep turning to the monster children we're glad will never sit on the throne.
Will and Kate will be thanking their lucky stars that they won't be parents to any of these little on-screen monsters, all waiting to make you shudder on Netflix now (Warning: Contains spoilers):
The Omen
If inexplicable deaths seem to follow your child around from an early age, then you might begin to wonder if your baby was swapped for the offspring of Satan and a jackal.
Of course, it's too late by then. Luckily a 24-hour watch on the new baby seems inevitable at this point, so the chances of an exchange being made seem slim to none.
Carrie
Admittedly, Carrie White didn't have it easy growing up. We hope that the Duchess of Cambridge is a better mum than the fanatical Margaret White.

The Boys in the Choir: Polk’s Antiquated Rendition of the Rural Gay Narrative
The blatant underrepresentation of black gay characters in film, whatever letter they’re placed into on the inclusive Lgbt spectrum, is simply not reason enough to appreciate the elemental contrivances of Patrik-Ian Polk’s Blackbird, an independent film rife with cliché in its euphemistic depiction of the rural queer experience that does little to elevate the film’s archaic nature.
The title has been inadvertently thrown into a higher caliber pop culture zeitgeist thanks to its distinction as Mo’Nique’s first post-Oscar role since her 2009 win for Best Supporting Actress in Precious. The significant media coverage concerning potential fallout between herself and director Lee Daniels should enhance the film’s shelf-life beyond the trappings of a niche market. Produced by the actress and her agent/husband Sidney Hicks, the project feels very much like the...

Could anyone have guessed when Stephen King published his first novel Carrie in 1974 that it would spawn no fewer than four big screen adaptations? Brian De Palma’s 1976 version remains the first and best, but each subsequent filmmaker who comes at the material seeks to find something new and unexplored in King’s book. Of the two remakes and one sequel released in the last 16 years, only one movie has succeeded in being different enough to justify its own existence. It’s The Rage: Carrie 2, and it’s being packaged with the 2002 made-for-tv remake on a new double feature Blu-ray from Scream Factory.

On screen, the parents of seriously ill children are often (probably quite accurately) portrayed as unsung heroes, battling the system, denying themselves, and doing everything they can to protect their kids. In The Harvest, the long overdue return to cinema from Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer director John McNaughton, it’d be easy to initially mistake Samantha Morton’s character, Katherine, for one of these parents. But it soon becomes clear just how completely off the mark this impression is.
The film focuses on Katherine’s relationship with her pre-teen son, Andy (Charlie Tahan). Andy is sick. He’s so sick, he can’t walk. He needs a cocktail of specialised drugs, which Katherine, a doctor, breaks the law to obtain for him. At first, her overprotectiveness seems understandable, if a little intense. But things get worse. Andy mustn’t have friends: friends might infect him. He mustn’t ever go outside.

The knock on the Academy Awards throughout the years always seem to be how certain actors, directors and films are snubbed in favor of other chosen nominations. Sometimes the justification for these overlooked selections in performances and motion pictures are warranted. Many will agree that a lot of injustices have been committed based on how some Oscar-worthy selections were slighted.
Has anyone ever considered the equal possibilities of omission when one Oscar nominee wins the golden statuette over another nominee that one thought was more deserving for the victory? There have been numerous instances when observers who have witnessed an Oscar win thought that their competitor should have received it instead. It is only human nature to have an opinion as to feel who should have claimed Oscar gold as opposed to the fellow nominee that actually accomplished the goal.

Sterile Cuckoo: Fleming’s Latest a Series of Rotund Clichés
Director Andrew Fleming returns with his first film since 2008’s neglected Hamlet 2, a road trip/mental illness comedy romance called Barefoot, which happens to be a remake of a 2005 German film directed by and starring Til Schweiger. Odd, cumbersome, and chock full of awkward moments that will have you cringing in embarrassment for certain cast members, Fleming seems to be aiming to hit too many marks, tethering a painfully earnest look at vague mental illness tropes with romantic quirk.
Jay Wheeler (Scott Speedman), is a playboy on the skids. He’s about $40,000 in gambling debt and has just been arrested once again, this time for aggravated assault. A janitor in a Los Angeles mental hospital, Jay is seemingly on his last leg and is forced to reconcile with his rich and estranged parents (Treat Williams and Kate Burton) in New Orleans.

2013′s Carrie opens with the title character’s birth. It’s an effective scene, conspicuously absent umbilical cord aside, that immediately makes two things clear. First, Carrie’s mother, Margaret White (Julianne Moore), is a dangerous fundamentalist highly displeased with the “cancer” that just spilled from between her legs. And second, director Kimberly Pierce‘s reboot/remake/re-imagining of Stephen King‘s novel is aiming to be more than just a rehash of Brian De Palma’s 1976 adaptation. Unfortunately it’s only the wacky religious nut that lands intact, as other than a new opening and ending, some updated dialogue, and an ill-fitting actress in the lead role, this is quite clearly the same old Carrie. “I can see your dirty pillows!” Life hasn’t gotten any easier for now teenage Carrie White (Chloe Grace Moretz).

Before I get into it, let me just say a few things alright? If you're one of the negative thinkers on board, this new adaptation of Carrie is not the terrible version you think it is, no matter how beloved the Brian De Palma version is to you.
How I like to think of the two versions, when or if you want to compare them, is to think of apples and oranges - despite their differences, they both taste wonderfully.
The De Palma version does certain things differently to this new adaptation and this version does scenes better or takes the characters and story to places that the De Palma version never went to - so they both have unique differences that I can appreciate.
We all know the tale - some of us can probably even recite it in our sleep - so...

When director Kimberly Peirce announced her plans to re-imagine Carrie, fans of the 1976 Brian De Palma film called foul. How dare she remake a horror movie as iconic as this terrifying tale of a bullied teen girl turned telekinetic mass-murderer? And who could possibly hope to fill the shoes of Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie, actresses who each earned Academy Award nominations for their harrowing portrayals of the dysfunctional yet devout mother-daughter team Carrie and Margaret White? But Peirce and her cast--which boasts Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore in these tricky roles-- insisted their movie would be pulling its influences more from original Stephen King book than the De Palma movie it inspired. Now that Peirce's version has hit theaters, we put her promise to the test, comparing the latest Carrie movie to King's tragedy-filled novel. I was surprised by how much of the film is pulled straight from...

The release of Kimberly Peirce’s faithful, solid, efficient, and therefore essentially pointless remake of Carrie gives me the opportunity to look back at the 1976 original, which is still one of my favorite films — and, in fact, one of the most important movies of my life. It’s one of the two films, the other being Robert Altman’s Nashville, that made me want to be a critic. And that’s because Carrie did more than thrill, frighten, and captivate me; it sent a volt charge through my system that rewired my imagination, showing me everything that movies could be.

"Carrie" is going back to prom ... and while the latest version isn't a bloody mess, it also doesn't compare to the 1976 original.While remakes like "Dawn of the Dead," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and this year's "Evil Dead" took the basics of the original and then did something new with them, director Kimberly Pierce's "reimagining" of Stephen King's tale does little to take the story to another level.What we're left with is a movie that probably won't disappoint newcomers, but doesn't bring anything new to the table for the rest of us.Chloe Grace Moretz tackles the title character, shifting from her "Kick Ass" persona into a much mousier role as the telekinetic teen. But, even with her messy hair and hunched posture, Moretz is a little too cute for the role ... a role which won the odd-looking, but absolutely incredible, Sissy Spacek an Oscar nomination.And while...

In a year where I’ve been surprised by numerous horror remakes and reboots, director Kimberly Peirce is the next director tasked with revitalizing a classic tale, and in Peirce’s specific case, it’s a Stephen King story that Brian De Palma already brilliantly adapted to screen (with a TV version starring Angela Bettis floating around as well). Kimberly wasn’t worried about remaking De Palma’s story though, as her focus was to bring a fresh new vision to King’s heralded source material – Carrie was to be a rivaling, isolated film.
Assembling the crack team of Julianne Moore and Chloë Grace Moretz as Margaret and Carrie White, we’re given yet another opportunity to watch this poor female outcast be tormented by despicable students, but more importantly, we get to see Carrie seek sweet, satisfying retribution. Could Chloë Grace Moretz be a telekinetic Prom Queen worth voting...

For nearly 40 years Stephen King has been providing Hollywood the literary inspirations for dozens of cinematic fright flicks, along with a few dramas. This relationship all begin with the first hit movie adaptation of his first tome, Carrie way back in 1976. Since then film makers have done their own interpretations of King’s novels and short stories. Other writers have even done sequels to the flicks. This happened with Carrie in 1999 with The Rage:carrie 2. There have been television remakes of the hit motion pictures such as with The Shining, and , yup, Carrie, again in 2002. Well now Tinseltown has decided that the multiplexes need yet another version of the story of the girl with hidden talents. Director Kimberly Peirce follows in the foots of Brian DePalma and brings us a new take (version 2.0?) on Carrie. Can she improve on that source of 70′s nightmares, or is it needless rehash trading in the rep of a classic?...

"You will know her name," predicts the posters for the new "Carrie." Chances are you already do, whether or not you've seen the 1976 Brian De Palma-directed original, or read the Stephen King novel both films were based on. That's because, like Freddy or Jason, when it comes to horror movie characters, Carrie White is already a household name.
In director Kimberly Peirce's version, it's Chloe Grace Moretz who plays the character that Sissy Spacek first made famous, a tormented (and telekinetic) high schooler who goes berserk on prom night. But as with any remake, that name recognition can be a double-edged sword. Because while it helps bring in the crowds, the main concern is typically how well the new version compares to the original -- especially when it comes to an undisputed classic like "Carrie." So here's a look at what Peirce's modern update got right, and what it got wrong.

Kimberly Peirce's new adaptation of "Carrie" is updated for the social media savvy Generation Z, but it's not exactly a revolutionary take on Stephen King's source material. If anything, it's even slightly more faithful to the book than Brian De Palma's classic (and still definitive) 1976 version, although with a decidedly more feminist lens. Starring Chloe Moretz as the titular misfit with telekinetic abilities; Julianne Moore as her devout and abusive mother; and Judy Greer as the sympathetic gym teacher Ms. Desjardin, "Carrie" is a bloody, upsetting horror film that at the very least will make older teens think twice about bullying a classmate.
The horror movie is rated R for "bloody violence, disturbing images, language and some sexual content," but in case you're on the fence about whether your teen is ready for it, here are 10 of the most shocking moments.

This weekend features nostalgic horror, big action, and a pair of likely Oscar contenders. A man is stranded at sea in "All Is Lost," a free man is sold into slavery in "12 Years a Slave," a telekinetic teenage girl wreaks havoc in the re-imagined "Carrie," and a structural engineer must escape a prison high-security prison in "Escape Plan."
From "Shame" director Steve McQueen, "12 Years a Slave" is an adaptation of Solomon Northup's 1853 memoir. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor as Northup, a free black man living in the antebellum United States who is abducted and sold into slavery. The historical epic, already dubbed the best film of the year by many, also stars Michael K. Williams ("The Road"), Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Quevenzhane Wallis, Paul Giamatti, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, and more. If there's any film you'll want to see before award season strikes, it's this one.

A third clip from Carrie has made its way online and continues to focus on the struggle between Carrie and Margaret White. Directed by Kimberly Peirce, Carriewill be released on October 18th in the Us and November 29th in the UK.

For a movie that opens on Friday, there isn't a whole lot we know about "Carrie," the highly anticipated remake of the beloved Brian De Palma film (based, once again, on Stephen King's debut novel). "Boys Don't Cry" filmmaker Kimberly Peirce directed the remake from a script by certifiable genius Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, although studio Sony has been cagey about screening the movie and only a handful of people have actually seen it (including those who attended the "Carrie" panel at New York Comic Con last weekend). Instead, we'll all have to make due with the clips that have been popping up online—like the one we have right here (via Comic Book Movie). In the clip, Margaret White (memorably played by Piper Laurie in the original and here essayed by Julianne Moore), the mother of the troubled, telekinetic teen Carrie (once Sissy Spacek, now Chloe Grace Moretz), is seen...

Last week, Daily Dead hit the red carpet in Hollywood for Kimberly Peirce’s upcoming retelling of the classic Stephen King tale, Carrie. While there, we had the opportunity to speak with Chloe Grace Moretz and several of her co-stars, including Alex Russell, Cynthia Preston, Max Toppling and Zoe Belkin.
Written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and directed by Peirce, Carrie follows a shy outcast (played by Moretz) who discovers she possesses telekinetic powers and gets pushed too far after falling victim to a cruel prom night prank that forces her to unleash hell on everyone around her:

Julianne Moore has made a career out of playing both enormous strength and agonizing fragility. She has a great range, and the role of Margaret White, mother to the damaged and destructive Carrie White, seems like it might test both extremes in that personality. At the press day for "Carrie" last weekend, I was more than happy to sit down with Moore to discuss how she approached the role. There are so many challenges that are inherent to the material, and so few ways to get it exactly right. For example, Margaret is a religious fanatic, a hardcore fundamentalist whose own...

I'm not suggesting that I want to see Chloe Grace Moretz in a musical (God, no) but wouldn't it be great if the impending Carrie remake (October 18th) were an adaptation of the infamous flop stage musical instead or just a retread on hallowed cinema ground? At least then it would have a reason for existing.
Here's the beautiful Alice Ripley, famous to Broadway fans as one half of Side Show's siamese twin stars and the lead in the mental illness musical Next To Normal (which also needs to be a movie, right?) and singing Carrie's 11th hour amazement "When There's No One" on Seattle TV. The stage musical, which we've written about before when it played here in NYC recently, is playing there this month so Seattle readers take note and let us know if you go to the show!)

With its Halloween-ready release date quickly approaching, Screen Gems’ update of the Brian de Palma classic Carrie has been busy setting the internet ablaze with lots of new clips and photos, most highlighting the performances of teen star Chloe Moretz, as the titular telekinetic teen, and Julianne Moore, as her wacked-out fundamentalist mother.
The newest clip from the Kimberley Peirce-directed film shows Carrie happily preparing for prom before utilizing her newly-discovering abilities to finally stand up to her abusive, manipulative mother.
Check it out right here, courtesy of IGN:
Buzz surrounding the remake has been generally divided, with some moviegoers questioning the need for another Carrie and others growing increasingly excited to see a modernized take on the story. I’m certainly in the latter camp, mostly because of Moretz. The young actress has repeatedly proven her ability to deliver tremendous performances in complex, twisted roles; her Hit-Girl was the...
