Aliens: Colonial Marines

I was certain that this game was cancelled, but it looks like it's back in a big way. I'm hoping this is FINALLY the Aliens game that a developer gets right. Pretty much every other attempt has been a failure, from mild to catastrophic. I think this one might have potential though. Might help generate some interest in Prometheus...

Here's the E3 teaser trailer:

Rammbock Review

I forgot I was planning on writing a quick review for this film. I shall instead write a very, very, very quick review. It is as follows: this was a mildly amusing, mostly uninspired, fairly short German zombie film. Not bad by any means, just nothing special. If you've only got an hour to spare and are in the mood for European zombies, this is the film for you!

That is all.

Rammbock - Berlin Zombie Mayhem

So I watched Rammbock the other night. I'll write up a quick review for it soon, but here's a trailer. It was only 60 minutes, but it was a pretty good 60 minutes. Doesn't hold a candle to La Horde in my opinion, but I suppose it is 100% less ridiculous. Ok, maybe 95% less ridiculous.

BD Horror News - Aliens Spotted On 'Prometheus' Set!

I still have no idea just how Prometheus is connected to the Aliens universe, but it looks like everyone's favourite chest-bursting super bugs will at least have a cameo in Ridley Scott's new sci-fi epic. Most excellent. Link below:

Nightmare on Elm Street Poster

This is officially one of my favourite movie posters of all time. It went on sale a couple of days ago and I completely forgot about it, so of course it sold out. Here's hoping they do another print run, but it's unlikely.

Return of Pyramid Head

He's back!

One of my favourite video game villains (if you can call him that, he just sort of does his own creepy thing) seems to be making a return in the Silent Hill movie sequels (in 3D of course)!. Actually kind of excited for this, photos floating around the web confirm that at least they've got a good art director. The original Silent Hill film, even with its faults, is probably still the best video game to movie translation I've ever seen. This is being filmed locally in Ontario.

Just a short clip of Pyramid Head, skin ripping and all.

Woman in Black - Hammer Remake

Very excited about this one! The original BBC made-for-TV version from the 80s quickly became a favourite of mine after a friend recommended it. Just the right mix of pacing and spooky atmosphere (including one of the most amusing but effective jump scares I've ever seen). As long as the remake avoids excessive CGI and finds the right balance I think it might be a winner. Think it might actually be a good role for Radcliffe as well. Let's hope it gets NA distribution one day. Teaser below!
