Phantom of the Mall: Foy's Revenge
12 hours ago
If you're reading this right now, then you either successfully survived Black Friday unscathed or had the good enough sense to not brave the crazed thralls storming the mall in search of doorbuster savings. Speaking of shopping mall psychopaths, have you ever seen the Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge? Whether you have or you haven't, you can now listen to myself and the film's title star reminisce about this campy 1989 slasher flick.
If you've never heard of the website Natsukashi and consider yourself a film geek (especially if you're a child of the 80's), then now is the time to correct that mistake. The word "natsukashi" is a Japanese adjective which stands for the state of "feeling nostalgic" or "fond/sweet memory". The Natsukashi site is all about revisiting movies from one's youth (or at least a film you haven't seen in a good long time) to see how »

Roland Emmerich's latest end-of-the-world opus 2012 is a mish-mash of just about every disaster movie you've ever seen. Not sure if Nomad's 2012 review (read it here) quite did it justice? Then you won't want to miss Trembles' take on the flick!
The film follows the exploits of an academic researcher who leads a group of people in a fight to counteract the apocalyptic events that were predicted by the ancient Mayan calendar and other historical documents, astronomy, and Biblical and scientific data.

New Stills from Macabre
22 hours ago
Even though the Mo Brothers' Macabre is still searching for Us distro, that hasn't stopped them from posting a few more stills from the film.

26 November 2009 1:44 PM, PST
Looks like the "Woman" is about to have her "Day" again thanks to CinTel Films and Anchor Bay Entertainment. Yep, another remake is on the way and according to IMDb the cast is taking shape quite nicely.
Steven R. Monroe's remake (which is also being filmed as Day of the Woman) is lensing right now in Louisiana or release next year via Anchor Bay. The cast so far includes:
Andrew Howard (Devil's Chair, Blood River, Lustig), Sarah Butler, Jeff Branson, Chad Lindberg (Push), Daniel Franzese (Killer Pad, War of the Worlds), Rodney Eastman (Joey in A A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors and A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 4: The Dream Master), Saxon Sharbino, Amber Dawn Landrum, and Chad Lindberg (Push).
I guess if Last House on the Left could get the do-over treatment than this one was pretty much a no-brainer. Check out the trailer for the original below. »

Another Amityville Remake Coming?
26 November 2009 1:53 AM, PST
I know what you're saying? Another Amityville Horror? Truth be told, we didn't really mind the first remake by Platinum Dunes. Hell, it was better than the original which doesn't stand up well at all. For our money it's Amityville II: The Possession that ranks as best of the bunch. So the question beckons -- Are we ready for another remake?
Though nothing official has been confirmed yet, Bloody Disgusting has caught wind that Dimension Films is in the early stages of getting one going. We'll keep our ears to the ground for you on this one, but the fact remains. Amityville's a money maker. If another remake doesn't come sooner, it will come later. Let's just brace ourselves and hope for the best, shall we?

It's hard to believe another year is in the can and we're going stronger than ever. We have a ton of stuff to be thankful for so allow us to indulge ourselves for a moment ...
