Our Sundance coverage comes to an end with Ryan Daley's review of Dead Snow, which was acquired by IFC last week. "DEAD SNOW is a decent time-waster, but it’s not funny enough to you laugh, not scary enough to make you cringe, and too derivative to be truly memorable."

Guaranteed to become a modern classic is Duncan Jones' (son of David Bowie) sci-fi thriller Moon, which stars the incredible Sam Rockwell. Ryan Daley just submitted this glowing review from the film after its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. "MOON, a sincere and heartfelt feature debut from director Duncan Jones, may not take home the box office cheddar, but mark my words, is a movie that will be worshipped by science fiction lovers for years to come."

Right from this year's Sundance Film Festival comes Ryan Daley's review of Bronson. "Steeped in a weirdly frustrating burlesque, BRONSON isn’t funny or amusing enough to be entertaining, but it’s not all that easy to take seriously, either.... Seriously, the Stephen Dorff fight scenes in FELON were better than anything on display in BRONSON." Click the title for the full review or here for more Sundance coverage.
The one film I personally am the most excited for at this year's Sundance Film Festival is Moon (review), which premieres this weekend.

In the film Sam Rockwell plays Astronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter while stranded on the moon for a three-year period.

U.S. rights to Tommy Wirkola’s Dead Snow (trailer) have been acquired by IFC Films. Described as “a genre-bending Norweigan horror comedy,” the film debuted in the midnight section this week at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival (watch for a review soon). In the film a group of teenagers had all they needed for a successful ski vacation; cabin, skis, snowmobile, toboggan, copious amounts of beer and a fertile mix of the sexes. Certainly, none of them anticipated not returning home alive! However, the Nazi-zombie battalion haunting the mountains had other plans. Click here for additional Sundance coverage. ...Read More
Today we added Ryan Daley's official review for Paul Solet's Grace, which claimed two victims from the Sundance audience this past weekend. "It’s true that Solet takes the audience on a twisted ride down a very dark birth canal, but is it dark and twisted enough? Sundance audiences may scream and faint at the likes of GRACE, but the die-hard horror fan will be merely amused by Solet’s bloodthirsty baby shenanigans. Without much of a plot driving the action, the film’s success depends solely on mood and tone, and GRACE, although diverting, isn’t quite haunting enough to make a lasting impact."

Update: The film has officially been announced as part of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. It has been awhile since I saw anything that really blew my mind, and this week we've already got three indie films making our front page. Check this one out for size.
