English trailer for Vietnam horror House In The Alley
4 April 2013 10:43 AM, PDT
Director Le Van Kiet’s Vietnamese horror film 'Ngoi nha trong hem' (aka ‘House in The Alley’) blew the lid off local box office (in some theatres it was being screened 6-7 times a day) records last year - making it the high-grossing film ever shown – so its no surprise it caught the eye of foreign buyers when it hit the film markets. U.S distributor Pathfinder Films very wisely nabbed the North American rights to it last month, and they’ve very handily released and English subbed version of the original trailer. No word yet on a release but as sure as eggs is eggs this will be turning up soon to nab on DVD. Looks well worth it, too. Synopsis: Thanh and Thao, a young successful couple living in Saigon aree about to begin a new happy chapter in their lives, parenthood. However, that dream becomes a nightmare, »

Last year we saw the Bullets Fly, in 2013 it looks like they are “Deadly,” and - judging by the newly released trailer for Chinese action movie The Deadly Bullets - a damn site bloodier too! It’s been a while since we’ve seen an action movie coming out of China, looking this good, and this violent. Bullets opens on April 19th, but nailing down a decent summary of the plot wont happen until it hits Hong Kong. Which wont be too long by all accounts because this (pic) is the Hk poster. More soon.
