A look under the Veil Of Blood; DVDetails
12 November 2009 8:47 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Independent filmmaker Joe Lemieux sent along details and a couple of photos (see below) from his long-in-the-works horror feature Veil Of Blood, which has now been unleashed on DVD. He describes the movie as “equal parts flaming intestines and over-the-top humor: Mutilated bodies, head crushing, eye gouging and spoon spanking come together in a hilarious horror stew!”
Specifically, Veil Of Blood (now available at Amazon.com for just $10) is about an ancient evil entity that is awakened due to a mob hit and goes on a rampage through the New England town of Arkwich. An alcoholic cop, a crazed professor and a band of gangsters have to join forces to stop the carnage. “When I wrote the script with producer Tim Dennis,” Lemieux tells Fango, “we wanted to create a story about a golem. There haven’t been many movies about one—it appeared in two early motion pictures, but that’s about all. »

Badasses of Horror: Part Two
9 November 2009 6:30 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
See the first part of this article here.
Ellen Ripley (Alien/Aliens, 1979/86)
Warrant Officer Ellen Ripley is just hanging out on the intergalactic transport ship Nostromo, leading the often-dull life of a Space Teamster, when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, her idiot captain decides to land on the remote planet Lv-426 to investigate some stupid distress signal emanating from a crashed spaceship. Now, as we all know, responding to distress signals is one of the top five most insanely boneheaded tactical decisions any science-fiction/horror space traveler can possibly make, but this doesn’t stop Captain Numbnuts from ordering his crew to get their asses down there and dope out the spooky alien wreckage.
Of course, once they go down to investigate, some dumbass crewmember decides it would be totally hilarious to stick his face in one of the strange egglike things he finds in the smoldering wreckage of the derelict ship. »

31 Days of Horror: Splinter
31 October 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Splinter (2008) Synopsis: A young couple crosses paths with an on-the-run criminal and the three of them end up stuck inside a gas station, hunted by a voracious and ever changing parasitic creature. The three have to work together if they have any chance of surviving this night from hell. Killer Scene: I love this film from start to finish, but if I had to pick a single scene, it would revolve around the parasitic hand that infiltrates the gas station and sets about making their night even worse. A hand may not sound threatening, but this scene is awesome and conjures up fond memories of the demonic digits of Evil Dead II. KillSheet Violence: There is a fair amount of blood spilled here, with broken bones and cuts, an excellent arm amputation scene, and an infected raccoon going Captain Insane-o on a gas station attendant. Not overly violent (there are only like 6 characters in the whole film »

Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre (2009)
23 October 2009 1:16 PM, PDT | Pretty/Scary | See recent pretty-scary news »
By Lis Fies
I was handed this scrappy-looking DVD with a partial eyeroll and a shoulder shrug. Looking at the rinky-dink website with no salient journalism information (Photos? Runtime?) caused even less excitement. A sequel to 2007's "Caesar and Otto" (No? You haven't heard of it either?), Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre looked like it was going to be porn without the porn. Imagine my elation on discovering that writer/director/producer/star Dave Campfield is talented and well-versed in the language of film.
Despite the DVD cover and website doing the movie no favors, Caesar and Otto's Summer Camp Massacre is actually a funny broad comedy, with bigger appeal than the niche horror-comedy crowd it is being marketed to. It is directed and edited with such panache that I could see it appealing to many fans of the Jim Carrey and Adam Sandler ilk who wouldn't and don't »

31 Days of Horror: Army of Darkness
17 October 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Army of Darkness (1992) "This.. is my Boom stick!" This weekend, we are taking a break from the obscure, the low-budget and the Coroner. As in, I'm taking over for a few days and I'm going to turn the focus of this daily feature toward my favorite sub-genre: horror comedy. And while Robert Fure did write about the entire Evil Dead franchise in one post last year, I just cannot let such aggression stand. These movies deserve their own posts. So lets do this... Synopsis: Ash (Bruce Campbell) has been through some serious shit. He's had to fight off a demon that turned his girlfriend and several friends into Deadites in Evil Dead, then he had to do it again for another night, this time with 4 strangers in Evil Dead II, only to see all of his hard work get sucked through a dimensional portal, plopping him down in the middle ages.

Sam Raimi Drags Us 'To Hell,' Will Ferrell Gets 'Lost' And More In The DVD Report For October 13
13 October 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Director Sam Raimi made a name for himself (and boyhood friend Bruce Campbell) with a series of low-budget horror films that began in 1978 with "Within the Woods," a short college project that would chart the rest of his career. While that particular movie remains little seen, it led directly to the cult classic "Evil Dead" and its two sequels, "Evil Dead II" and "Army of Darkness," and forever cemented Sam Raimi as a bonafide member of the horror club.
So it was with some regret among his fans that -- as his career progressed -- Raimi drifted into other areas of cinema, most notably the billion dollar blockbuster "Spider-Man" franchise, and seemingly left his chainsaw and boomstick behind. That was until 2009, when he came roaring out of the gate with "Drag Me to Hell," the veteran filmmaker's return to the genre that made him a legend. The film stars Alison Lohman »

Zulawski & Raimi: The Hell They Dragged Us Into
13 October 2009 11:19 AM, PDT | GreenCine | See recent GreenCine news »
By Steven Boone
(originally published on GreenCine Daily, May 2009)
"To please the majority is the requirement of the Planet Cinema. As far as I'm concerned, I don't make a concession to viewers, these victims of life, who think that a film is made only for their enjoyment, and who know nothing about their own existence."
"My goal is not to offend people. It is to entertain, thrill, scare, make them laugh, but not to offend them."
"I don’t give a fuck about the audience."
Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead II: Dead by Dawn (1987) and Andrzej Zulawski’s Possession (1981) are two sides of the same cursed coin, producing in the viewer an identical effect—sheer giddiness at their audacious, divinely, demonically, deliriously inventive visual play. Each flick is a series of riffs on the notion of possession—Raimi's aimed at the grindhouses, »

Drag Me To Hell (DVD Review)
5 October 2009 9:36 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Considering that Sam Raimi made his horror bones with the pair of unrated Evil Dead movies, it’s only fitting that his return to the genre, Drag Me To Hell, be issued on disc by Universal (coming October 13) in an Unrated Director’s Cut as well. Yet while the movie is very much in the aggressively fun tradition of Evil Dead II (see our original review here), don’t expect a gorefest from this restored version; remember, its theatrical rating was a PG-13.
In fact, the Unrated Drag Me To Hell runs nine seconds shorter than the theatrical cut, which is also included on the DVD and Blu-ray. While a few moments have been made a tad nastier—most notably the nosebleed scene, in which heroine Christine (Alison Lohman) now gushes from her mouth as well—the most significant difference (Spoiler Alert) involves Christine’s killing of her cat in »

Fall Frights: Feast (Film Review)
4 October 2009 3:12 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
In the spirit of Halloween '09, we're breaking out reviews (some new, some old) of some Fall Frights you may want to work into your monthly viewing.
Feast - Fangoria Archives: Originally Published 9/2006
At long last, the bygone era of the 1980s creature feature has made its long-delayed and splashy return to the big screen with John Gulager’s Feast, a rock-’em-sock-’em gross-out bloodbath that echoes the days of Evil Dead II, Return Of The Living Dead and maybe a smidgen of Gargoyles. But here’s the heartbreaker: It’s apparent this film is the malicious, placenta-devouring offspring of three individuals (Gulager and writers Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton) who have created something—thanks to Project Greenlight—expressing their fervid obsession with the genre. However, it just falls short of delivering the double-barrel blast of cult flavor that would make this one an eternal midnight fix. Gulager came close, »

Directions to Zombieland
2 October 2009 2:28 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
If someone were to tell you about a new zombie comedy by a first-time feature director, shot on HD, most likely your thoughts wouldn’t turn to a large-scale adventure starring Woody Harrelson. Yet that’s exactly what Zombieland (now playing from Columbia Pictures) is: a loud, fun major-studio horror/comedy. As you can imagine, it was quite an undertaking for Ruben Fleischer to make this his big-screen debut—and one everyone around him was wary of.
“With a young director, the natural instinct is to question what they’re doing, especially when they’re dealing with people who are so experienced,” says Fleischer, whose background is largely in television. “There’s a degree of taking on the role of director, and you’ve got to step into those boots. I’m not the most confident or outgoing person in the day-to-day, but when you’re in charge of a »

'Hansel and Gretel' Getting Ready To Kick Ass, With or Without Will Ferrell
17 September 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
There are some projects that you hope will be awesome, and others that you know will be an instant classic. Personally, I’m wiling to put my money down on “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters,” a film that exists as little more than a rough script at the moment – but that director/producer/all-around funnyman Adam McKay assured me will get turned into something special soon.
“Oh, I love that project,” the “Funny or Die” co-founder and frequent Will Ferrell collaborator enthused. “That’s really chugging along.”
Written and soon-to-be directed by Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola, McKay told me that both he and Ferrell are fans of Wirkola’s beloved, little-seen Nazi zombie film “Dead Snow.” “It’s the guy who did the zombie Nazi pic, so it’s a bad-ass movie,” the “Talladega Nights” director said of his “Hansel” collaborator. “It’s in the vein of an ‘Evil Dead II’ or ‘Army of Darkness. »

Alright you primitive screwheads, listen up! Ash returns to fight the deadheads once again in the form of Bruce .The Chin. Campbell. Groovy baby, but where.s the director.s cut?

Hilarious Ghana Movie Posters
3 September 2009 7:30 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
In the 1980s, several local businessmen in Ghana would travel from town to town in order to make money from their "mobile cinema," which was nothing more than a truck equipped with a Vcr and several bootleg copies of Hollywood films. Movie-goers would pay a fee in order to enjoy these movies played in the back of the truck. To promote the screenings, local artists were hired to paint large posters on used canvas flour sacks. The artists were given the freedom to paint the posters as they desired, often without even seeing the films first. We now have these posters for movies like "Cujo," "Terminator 2" and "Evil Dead II."

Dead Snow (Film Review)
18 June 2009 2:31 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
“There are no good jokes that don’t involve poop, pee or semen,” someone says in Dead Snow, but Norwegian director/co-writer Tommy Wirkola would clearly disagree with his character. Where bodily fluids and parts are concerned, blood and guts are the humorous props of choice in his movie, and its best moment is a literal cliffhanger with a human and a zombie clinging to another ghoul’s unfurled intestines.
Which is not to say that Dead Snow goes completely over the top in either its comedy or its filmmaking. (The movie opens this week in New York and next week in La theatrically, and is also available via video-on-demand from IFC Films; this review is based on the subtitled version playing the big screens, not the dubbed edition being presented on small ones.) The obvious models are Evil Dead II and Dead Alive, yet Wirkola eschews the aggressive camerawork of Sam Raimi and, »

Monday Night Poll: Do You Prefer Straight-Up Comedy?
1 June 2009 8:02 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Did the Marx Brothers ever get serious? Pixar seems to have perfected the art of mixing dramatic themes into their comic adventures, pleasing audiences both young and old. (Moviefone's current poll of readers on Pixar's best reflects this as well, with a top choice that may surprise you.) Up is a rather magnificent tale that's filled with witty dialogue, visual gags, and laugh out loud moments, even as it "moves smoothly from romance to drama to fantasy to comedy to action-adventure and then back to sentimental drama again," in the words of Jette Kernion. Sam Raimi took modern horror in a new direction by coupling jolts with jokes in The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II, expertly playing one against the other. His latest, Drag Me to Hell, marketed as a straight-up horror tale, is, in fact, "a convulsively funny movie with chills and thrills," as I've written before. Really, »
