More than five decades into their career, Judas Priest have always been one of metal’s most reliably great bands, likely because the responsibility they feel to the genre weighs just as heavily as the music they make. They never want to let down their fans, the “heavy metal maniacs,” as lead shrieker Rob Halford dubbed them long ago, even as they’ve pressed forward in the face of adversity in recent years. Guitarist Glenn Tipton, a bona fide metal icon known for his electrifying solos, revealed he’d been...

These last few years the Criterion Channel have made October viewing much easier to prioritize, and in the spirit of their ’70s and ’80s horror series we’ve graduated to––you guessed it––”’90s Horror.” A couple of obvious classics stand with cult favorites and more unknown entities (When a Stranger Calls Back and Def By Temptation are new to me). Three more series continue the trend: “Technothrillers” does what it says on the tin, courtesy the likes of eXistenZ and Demonlover; “Art-House Horror” is precisely the kind of place to host Cure, Suspiria, Onibaba; and “Pre-Code Horror” is a black-and-white dream. Phantom of the Paradise, Unfriended, and John Brahm’s The Lodger are added elsewhere.

In this time of geekery and craft reigning supreme, film critics and academics no longer reject horror movies with the knee-jerk certainty some once did. But even now the specter of “elevated horror” (see that concept’s lambasting in Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett’s “Scream 5”) looms over discussions of artier explorations of dread and terror — Ari Aster’s “Midsommar,” Luca Guadagnino’s “Suspiria,” Rose Glass’ “Saint Maud” — that are clearly distinguished from, well, non-elevated horror. The general gist is that these exceptions to the “horror is bad” rule engage your brain more than just showing brains: eaten by zombies or splattered against the wall.
How can films that fire your adrenal glands, send shivers down your spine, raise goosebumps, and quicken your breath — that inspire such an intense physical reaction — also be cerebral experiences? The answer is obvious enough. Viewers forget all the time that, as Anna Karina...

Sixty-five years later the classic from Ealing Studios is still subversive, hilarious and distinctly English
It hardly makes sense to think of it as a rerelease, as the 1955 crime caper classic from Ealing Studios is perennially being revisited on screen, and in “Best Of” lists and there have been a number of adaptations, chiefly a middling but well-intentioned remake from the Coen brothers in 2004 featuring Tom Hanks as the mastermind professor first played by Alec Guinness.
The original – now getting a 4K restoration – is subversive, hilarious and as English as Elgar. That’s despite being written by the expatriate American William Rose and directed by American-born Alexander Mackendrick. Both bring a street-smart American snap to the movie, but with an exquisitely English sensibility: a mixture of cynicism with guileless innocence. The comedy works because it is as superbly constructed as a deadly-serious noir thriller – there are weirdly distinct echoes of...

The closing gala of this year's Hippodrome Silent Film Festival, held in in Scotland's oldest purpose-built cinema in the sleepy town of Bo'ness, was a real highlight. Hindle Wakes (1927) is not only a smart adaptation of a celebrated 1910 stage play (from the "Manchester school" of socially committed Northern realism that also gave us the source for David Lean's Hobson's Choice), it's proof positive that there was more to British silent cinema than Hitchcock—though there are strong connections, since the movie features character actress Marie Ault, the landlady from The Lodger, John Stuart, the staunch detective from Number 17, and was photographed in part by Jack Cox, Hitchcock's regular cinematographer at this time. The story is set among the cotton mills of Lancashire in what was the U.K.'s industrial heartland. The young mill workers depart for their annual week's holiday in Blackpool, a sort of combination of...

On Saturday, I took the train to Trenton. Now, this is remarkable because first, I so seldom go into New York City on a weekend (isn’t Five Days a week enough?), maybe five or six Saturdays a year. And, second, I’ve never been to Trenton—Through it on Amtrak, yes—but as a destination, No! Third, although I retired from convention-going in April 2008 (after guesting at more than 200 of them), I was off to a con and Only as a customer! This, I confess, was my Second relapse (I showed up to see friends at NYC’s Fangoria’s Weekend of Horrors in June 2009).

Simon Baker - who is quickly becoming a signifier of "cheese" - will be starring alongside Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba, Elias Koteas, Kate Hudson, Bill Pullman and Ned Beatty in Michael Winterbottom's The Killer Inside Me. Could this be the most unimpressive and unimaginative casting this year? Quite possibly. Baker has starred in a slew of crappy horror films including The Ring Two, Not Forgotten and The Lodger, but also took on zombies in Romero's Land of the Dead. The story centers on a West Texas sheriff (Affleck) and his downward spiral from a boring small-town cop into a ruthless, sociopathic murderer. Baker plays a county attorney looking to expose the sheriff as the killer. Filming begins this week in New Mexico and Oklahoma.

John Frizzell is doing the score for Legion, an apocalyptic action flick starring Dennis Quaid, Paul Bettany, Kevin Durand, Doug Jones and Kate Walsh. The composer, who is best known for his big orchestral scores for Alien: Resurrection and Dante's Peak as well as the quirkier Office Space, has scored a lot of dark subjects lately, including Evil Angel, The Lodger and 100 Feet. Legion is directed by Scott Charles Stewart and produced by David Lancaster and Michel Litvak for release in January 2010 by Screen Gems. The story is about about a group of people who, after a biblical apocalypse, discover that a young woman is pregnant with the messiah.

The filmmaker has been extremely generous with us over the course of the last 12 months, finding time to discuss his feature filmmaking experiences in both the pre-production (In the Pipeline Dec.07) and post-production phases (read our January Ioncinephile profile of the month feature) and after a quick one-week qualifying run in late December, Sony's Stage 6 Films are releasing this baby in New York and L.A on the 23rd of the month.

One of the first Alfred Hitchcock films was The Lodger, released in 1927. It presented a fictional portrayal of a Jack the Ripper-type killer whom a landlady believes is the same man renting a room in her house. He wasn't called Jack the Ripper in that film, but rather The Avenger. It's not a great movie but it's a really good stepping stone for the stuff Hitchcock would explore with more directorial dexterity down the road.
There's a new version of The Lodger coming to theaters, and before you get all worked up, it's the fourth remake of the Hitchcock flick, and the first in nearly seventy years. Plus, it's been modernized to closely resemble a made-for-cable movie. The film stars Simon Baker (TV's The Mentalist, you know) as a man of questionable pursuits, Hope Davis as his landlady, and Alfred Molina as a cop on the beat.
Kudos to Trailer...

The film stars Simon Baker (TV's The Mentalist, you know) as a man of questionable pursuits, Hope Davis as his landlady, and Alfred Molina as a cop on the beat.
Kudos to Trailer...

The trailer for David Ondaatje's "The Lodger" has arrived. Giving a sneak peek into the mystery thriller, the short video footage shares glimpses of the troubled detective played by Alfred Molina in attempting to solve the serial killing case, and of a relationship between a landlady portrayed by Hope Davis and her lodger starred by Simon Baker.
A re-imagining of Alfred Hitchcock's 1927 film, "The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog", this new film is set in Los Angeles and is told in two converging plot lines. On one story, it follows a disturbing relationship between Ellen Bunting, an emotionally disturbed landlady, and Malcolm Slaight, a mysterious stranger who becomes her lodger. The other follows a grizzled detective trying to find a serial killer, whose method of killing is identical to Jack the Ripper's, before he slaughters more Sunset Strip's prostitutes.

The Lodger follows a grizzled detective on the trail of a ruthless killer intent on slaughtering prostitutes along West Hollywood's Sunset Strip. It appears that the murderer's grisly methods are identical to that of London's infamous 19th century psychopath Jack the Ripper - a relentless¬ serial killer who was never caught by police. To make matters worse, the detective soon notices the parallels between the crimes committed by the West Hollywood stalker and those of a serial murderer incarcerated years ago.

I don’t know just how “horror” this is going to be, but it does have to do with resurrection and out of body experiences, and it’s a love story, which is just terrifying in the first place, so stick with me. The flick is called Silver Cord, and it’s set to be the directorial debut of James Ordonez.
Variety announced this morning that Silver Cord has signed Val Kilmer, Shane West (What We Do is Secret, The Lodger), Areielle Kebbel (Freakdog, The Grudge 2), Cam Gigandet (The Unborn) and Eric Balfour(The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) to star in the film. The story follows a man who is separated from the love of his life and has numerous out of body experiences to try to find her. One time something goes wrong, the titular spiritual cord is severed, and his friends realize they have 24 hours to save him before he is dead.

- I’m not sure if this is a bunch of random connecting-of-the-dots on my part, but Alfred Hitchcock's films and his influence are rising in popularity as of late. Approximately thirty years after his death, his library of 60+ films understandably have become a reference point for movie-goers and filmmakers. While the Criterion Collection keeps reminding us that there are several reasons to go revisit his work on home video (my favorite is the re-release of The Lady Vanishes), we find studios, producers, directors and screenwriters are referring to his work in a blatant ways. Take for example, last week’s homage from one film great to another. Such as the high-end BMW film-commercials, someone came up with the novel idea of bringing Martin Scorsese along for a truly witty tribute to the master of suspense. The Frexinet commercial (view here) plays with many of Hitch’s cinematic style

David Ondaatje has signed on to direct a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's first film, The Lodger, for Sony Pictures Entertainment. Re-imagined as an urban thriller set in Los Angeles, the film marks Ondaatje's directorial debut.
Sony has not yet determined which of its labels will release Lodger or if the film will bow straight to video.
Michael Mailer will produce alongside Ondaatje, who also adapted the screenplay from Marie Belloc Lowndes' novel. The novel served as the basis for Hitchcock's 1927 film.
Lodger is based on the true story of the hysteria caused by the Jack the Ripper's killing spree that took place over several weeks in 1888. Ondaatje's adaptation is broken into two converging plot lines set in present-day Los Angeles. The first involves an uneasy relationship between a psychologically unstable landlady and her enigmatic lodger, and the second is about a troubled detective engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with an unknown killer.
Ondaatje is repped by attorney Scott Edel.

Hitchcock based his version on a novel by Marie Adelaide Lowndes. Ondaatje, who has won 2 bronze medals at regional film festivals in NY and Columbus,
