Red Lights

Not much plot information on this film as of yet, but the cast has me excited. Also, this poster is pretty great. Sometimes the simpler the better. Reminds me of Bill Murray's "psychic" tests from the beginning of Ghostbusters. Visit Bloody-Disgusting for more info.

The Innkeepers - Whenfor art thou being released?

Despite the middling reviews, I'm still super stoked to see this film. I'm a sucker for haunted inns (seriously). Still haven't watched House of the Devil yet, but it's on my list.  There seems to be a large number of supernatural-themed films coming out in the next year, most of which will be garbage I'm sure, but personally I think it's nice to see a return to the supernatural from the glut of nonsense slasher crap that's been spilling out of the genre lately. I've read that Craven's My Soul to Take was an utter disaster (thought I might watch it over a case of beer...), and Carpenter's The Ward had so much potential but was a huge letdown in my opinion. And I'm not even sure Vanishing on 7th Street is going to get a theatrical release. Here's hoping there will be at least a couple of supernatural gems in the bunch. I do recommend Insidious though, which opens very soon. It starts with some great scares, and then goes totally batshit sideways. Some people didn't like that aspect, but I thought it worked well. It certainly ruffles things up a bit. Also, you will NEVER hear Tiny Tim's rendition of Tiptoe Through the Tulips the same way again. It gets my award for top use of a crazy song in a crazy film.

Attack the Block Trailer

Fingers crossed that this movie is as awesome as it looks. Good old fashioned Monster Squad style action but with punks from the London projects. A winning combination.
