Feature Trailers for the 2009 New York Horror Film Festival 3:42pm, November 5, 2009
Here is the list of feature films that I will be covering at this year's New York City Horror Film Festival at Tribeca Cinemas in lower Manhattan. There's a trailer for just about all of them - most I haven't even heard of before and am psyched to cover. How fucking cool will Nosferatu be in 3D? And Maniac... That shotgun to the head of Tom Savini... Great brutal, grindhouse retrospective horror film to play. Im psyched. So here's some previews. Chime in with your opinions on the films below, and of course, if you'll be there. Ill be getting tanked with you all at BLVD's opening night...
MUST LOVE DEATH
Disappointed by love and suicidal, Norman arranges to meet a group of like-minded people. But when he arrives at the meeting the alleged suicide pact goes very wrong and hilarity and blood start to flow freely.
------------------------------------
SWEATSHOP
A group of rave promoters decide to throw a party in an enormous vacant factory... But when the oversexed friends throw back a few drinks and begin setting up, they soon realize, a beastly all-seeing presence resides in this enormous place, and it drags a mammoth, inhuman weapon that serves only one purpose: to end the lives of anyone who trespasses here.
------------------------------------
THE REVENANT
Officer First Class Bart Gregory is killed while fighting in Middle East. His body is shipped back to the United States and laid to rest, but before the lid can be put on his tomb, Bart inexplicably awakens in his coffin and climbs from his grave; A Vampire? A Zombie? No…..A Revenant! Now, this average guy must feed on human blood or rot away.
------------------------------------
NOSFERATU in 3D
This classic 1921 silent film Directed by F.W Murnau and staring the immortal Max Shriek as Count Orlok is reborn completely restored, remastered and brought back to life in gorgeous 3D. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for film fans to see one of the greatest and one most recognizable classic silent horror films in 3D on the big screen!

MAIDENHEAD
Poor Martin doesn’t have much of a life. He doesn’t have a girlfriend, he hasn’t been sleeping well, and he still lives at home... with his father, who is an obnoxious, bloodthirsty monster strapped to a bed. Did we mention he isn’t sleeping well? Martin (AJ Bowen of House of the Devil and The Signal) spends his days going numbly about the business of tending to his Dad’s grisly needs. Every day is just like the last, until Martin meets an innocent church-going girl named Meredith, who gives him hope of something more. But what about Dad?
------------------------------------
THE SHADOW WITHIN
In a gloomy and sinister atmosphere, little Maurice Dumont can’t escape his infernal reality. Dominated by an inhuman mother who rejects him, an absent father and the ghost of his brother who refuses to die. In a claustrophobic overwhelming environment, obsessed by dead and living presences, Maurice seems to have no way out, as death silently creeps into his old gothic house.
------------------------------------
MANIAC
This 1980 grindhouse classic is back on the big screen! Starring Joe Spinell as the deranged Frank Zito. Frank is an embittered loser who talks to himself and his dead mother, stalks a pretty model (legend Caroline Munro), and spends his spare time brutally murdering and scalping women. A pristine 35 mm print will screen as part of this Lifetime Achievement Award program dedicated to Director / Producer William Lustig.
------------------------------------
CORNERED
A serial killer is stalking the gritty streets of Los Angeles. It’s all over the news, but that doesn’t stop the crew at a local convenience store from their weekly poker game. Now, trapped inside the store with a deranged killer the group must fight to make it though the night alive. Stars Steve Guttenberg, James Duval and the hysterical Ellia.

BLOOD NIGHT: THE LEGEND OF MARY HATCHET
Long Island, 1978: A young girl named Mary Mattock gruesomely murders her family and is locked away at the notorious Kings Park Psychiatric Center. Ten years later Mary escapes, leaving a grizzly wake of bodies and blood. Gunned down by the police, Mary meets her own demise outside the sanitarium walls. This incident gave birth to the legend of Mary Hatchet’s walking ghost and the mischievous night named in honor of her death, BLOOD NIGHT! Starring genre favorites Bill Moseley and Danielle Harris, Blood Night puts a neck-breaking spin on the gory and gut wrenching slasher films of the 80’s

I like the way the NYCHFF flies just below the radar - I havent seen or heard of most of these titles, but the more I look into them, the more interesting they look. Different too, which is nice. I imagine Nosferatu 3d is going to be hard to get tickets to, but Im not missing that one. The fest always ends up one of the best times of the year, so Im psyched. Too bad the Cornered trailer got pulled. Steve Guttenburg in a horror film! No way...
