Watch 4 Clips from 'Survival of the Dead'; Eye-Poppin Fun! Posted 1 Hour 1 Minute ago What a way to kick off the weekend as we just got our hands on 4 clips from George A. Romero's Survival of the Dead that feature some pretty huge moments from the film. Before you read on, light up a match and get ready for some "eye-popping" action! The plot involves inhabitants of an isolated island off the North American coast who find their relatives rising from the dead to eat their kin. The leaders of the island feud over whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure. Romero's latest zombie flick premiering on VOD, XBOX Live, Playstation and Amazon on April 30th before taking over theaters on May 28 from Magnet Releasing.

There are two version: A realistic look at him as Fred Krueger (before he was burned), and another figure depicting him in all his charred glory as Freddy Kueger. What wasn't revealed is that the pre-burned figures comes with "fire" accessories so it looks as if he's lit up like a Christmas tree, along with a variant version of his burned face. Check 'em out below. These should be in stores soon. Add a Comment (34) Related Link: Figures.com Thomas Edison's 1910 'Frankenstein' Restored on DVD! Posted 11 Hours 47 Minutes ago You may think that James Whale's 1931 Frankenstein film starring Boris Karloff is your first look at the monster, while in fact Thomas Edison's 1910 short adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel is its first true incarnation (and also the first ever horror film). March 18 marks the 100th anniversary of the release of the long forgotten original made in 1910 by Thomas Edison's studio, and to celebrate publisher BearManor Media is releasing Frederick C. Wiebel, Jr.'s new book "Edison's Frankenstein," along with a restored DVD of the original short (from the one existing print!). While you can read all about this gem over at the Hollywood Reporter, reading on you'll find the actual short for your viewing pleasure. It'll make you want to pick up the restored version, that I know for sure.

Posted March 12, 2010 @ 3:26 Having just watched E.T. and Jaws for the upteenth time, I couldn't help but wonder when Steve Spielberg was gonna get me all excited again. It looks like I won't be waiting long as THE premiere director could be getting dropping his hat in the ring for Robopocalypse, an adaptation of Daniel H Wilson epic about the human race's attempt to survive an apocalyptic robot uprising, reports Deadline. Cloverfield writer Drew Goddard, who also directed MGM's forthcoming The Cabin in the Woods, is penning the adaption. Wilson hasn't finished the book yet, but word is Goddard has gotten underway and that it's a serious candidate. My only question is how do you do this cooler and different than Terminator and Matrix? This is a TALL order if you ask me. I pray that Spielberg abandons The Adventures of Tin Tin: The Secret of the Unicorn; who the hell wants to see that?!

Apparently, it's pretty awesome. So hearing that director Rupert Wyatt will be getting behind the camera for 20th Century Fox's Planet of the Apes prequel is quite exciting news. Deadline New York reports that there's no start date, but Wyatt's come aboard to develop to direct. The script's by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. No other details are available at this time -- but it's gonna be hard to make a worse version than Tim Burtons.

Tentative Release Date for 'Night of the Demons' Remake Posted March 11, 2010 @ 4:34 For those of you wondering when you might be able to see Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson's punk rock Night of the Demons redo, the director tells Dread Central that they're aiming for a September 23, 2010 release, while adding that they'd like to run a few concerts alongside it. "Hopefully we’ll be able to do some concerts to celebrate the release," said Geirasch, whose directorial debut was the 2008 film Autopsy. "We are definitely going to do (one) in L.A., and maybe New York, and I can’t guarantee it, but I hope New Orleans because that is where the movie takes place and where we shot it." Diora Baird, Shannon Elizabeth, Monica Keena, Bobbi Sue Luther, Jonathan Beach, Michael Copon, Tiffany Shepis and Edward Furlong all star in the remake that takes a group of kids into a demonically possessed house for one hell of a Halloween party.

Paramount announced today the launch of their new division, Insurge Pictures, which has one million dollars fueling its films. 10 movies are on tap in the first year at a budget of just $100,000 each. "We want to find and distribute crazy, unpredictable, and hopefully awesome movies - movies that make you want to line up to see at your local theater with all your friends (and us)," the soon-to-be-launched website proclaims. "Movies that a big studio would never release because they’re too risky, too silly, and they don’t star Sandra Bullock." Watch for an update with an official announcement later today. Insurgepictures.com will launch soon.

When the friend falls ill, they take her to a hospital but end up trapped in a labyrinthine haunted house. Shimizu is best known for his Ju-On (The Grudge) films, along with my personal fav, Marebito.

Apparently, there are some incredibly brutal scenes that involve violence against women. With the hype, and an incredible cast - Casey Affleck, Jessica Alba, Elias Koteas, Kate Hudson, Bill Pullman, Ned Beatty and even Simon Baker - IFC Films snatched up the rights to the sucker with plans on releasing it this summer. Until then, check out a pretty boring clip. I'm sure the goods are forthcoming. Published in 1952, "The Killer Inside Me" concerns a deputy sheriff in a West Texas town whose kind Everyman demeanor masks his true dark self. He is slowly revealed as a psychotic killer.

The star of the forthcoming She's Out of My League, and other comedies such as Tropic Thunder, Knocked Up and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, exclaimed that his sole inspiration is David Cronenberg and that he dreams of a career in horror. Will Pig ever get behind camera? I'd hope so if he's planning on delivering more gore in the future. Get the skinny inside. Add a Comment (9) Related Link: AV Club
