Honeymoon (2014) is a cautionary tale for newlyweds. Warning: this is not a chick flick with a happy ending. Well, depending on your taste, Honeymoon could be a chick flick or great popcorn flick for a girl’s night in. That is if you enjoy sappy romances that evolve into something sinister and disturbing. Rose Leslie (Game of Thrones—”you know nothing, Jon Snow”) plays Bea; a ravishing young lady who recently tied the knot with her beloved Paul (Harry Treadaway). The official trailer sort of gives […]

Next month Shout Factory will release Nightbreed: The Director’s Cut, a very different version of the film that 20th Century Fox let out of the cage in 1990. While you wait for that shiny Blu-ray; you could read the 1989 Clive Barker story Cabal published by Harper Collins (you know, the novel that the film is based on). This is dark fantasy where sexual politics and the ‘mob mentality’ wrestle underneath the surface of the twisted and self-destructive life of Aaron Boone—a man who cannot […]

If an intervention turned out just like the one in Inner Demons then I would totally round up my mates, sit around the lounge room and wait for the emo makeup clad girl to freak us all out. IFC Midnight have released an indie film that should appeal to those who enjoy inevitable demonic possessions on-screen. Here we have a young woman who has fallen from grace. Instead of scoring top marks she is now scoring her next heroin fix. Her religious family are attempting […]

The Pyramid (2014) looks like Alien Versus Predator (2004) only the climate is a lot hotter and the archaeological survey team are not packing as much heat. Holden (Denis O’Heare—True Blood) leads a survey team through an unearthed and spooky three-sided pyramid in the Egyptian desert despite objection from the local authorities. There are traps and labyrinths and soon the curious Americans find out that they are not alone in the depths. There is talk of the Curse of the Pharaohs—the fatal consequences of disturbing […]

Simon Pegg (Shaun of the Dead) plays the lead role in Hector and the Search for Happiness. The opening of the official trailer shows a yellow bi-plane flying among the clouds, the pilot is smiling and there’s a dog in the co-pilot seat. The scene evokes Hector’s nostalgic fantasy of happiness as that same plane turns out to be a remote control plane that stalls and nose-dives into a lake. Hector is a psychiatrist. He is confronted with what appears to be a midlife crisis […]

Inspired by his own podcasting, Kevin Smith has written and directed a new screenplay entitled Tusk, distributed by A24 Films this year. The official trailer introduces Justin Long as an obnoxious podcaster who thinks he is above everyone; his hyperactive-shock-jock antics, and his moustache, are interesting. The guy seems to have it all: girlfriend, car, dream job. The first thing that made me jump was not even that terrifying in retrospect. Unfortunately, Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense) is forever typecast as that child actor. […]

Finally, after over a year of waiting, a new movie is on its way. “Annabelle” tells the story of the creepy doll who appeared in the first film to help terrorize the Perrons. A man buys a beautiful vintage doll for his wife as a gift, but […]

This December, the unpleasant divorce battle between artists Margaret Keane and Walter Keane will be coming to the big screen, directed by Tim Burton. It is generally agreed that Margaret Keane painted the wildly successful series of big-eyed waif children, staring tragically out of the frame at the viewer. During the 1960’s, at the height of kitsch art, Walter Keane claimed to be the painter, perhaps as a marketing ploy, perhaps to split the effort of creation and promotion, or perhaps just to take the […]

From the diabolical writer that brought us Tin Man, Alice, and Neverland, comes an exciting and creepy new film about demonic possession, ghosts, and dark magik. ALTAR stars Matthew Modine and Olivia Williams, as a young couple embarking on the renovation and restoration of a creepy old mansion, but in the process they bring back more than just the properties former splendor. I really like the classic Hammer horror style influence that shows in the quality production and I agree that this should be seen […]
