'I Spit On Your Grave' Trailer HD
The remake for I Spit On Your Grave is set for a limited theatrical run in the fall of
2010 by Anchor Bay films. Ot will then be released on DVD early in 2011. No word on the rating but the producers are promising this will be a brutal film and that the violence will be ramped up. Where have we heard that before? Just every lame remake released in the last ten years. I'm expecting a flashy glitzy film with non of the emotio of the original film. I Spit on Your Grave was a hard film to sit through. It went to levels of degradation that modern films don't have the strength to go to. At the very least I expect this to be a gory Hostel copycat, at the worst a snooze fest

Stranded (Djinns) English-subtitled trailer
First look trailer for the French movie Djinns or Stranded. I'm interested in this but the invisible enemy has been done a lot lately and several times in military/combat situation. Still the French have a way with visceral horror.

ten most disturbing horror films of all time
Warning: Spoilers Ahead
2. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
-The film that made Michael Rooker a star was based in large part on the real life killings of drifter Henry Lee Lucas. The film is so disturbing that even co star Tom Towles has only seen it once. The world of Henry is a bleak cold world. No policeman is ever seen on camera which was done on purpose to help preserve the idea that Henry and Otis lived in a lawless world. What makes it disturbing? The brutality of the murders, especially the home invasion scene, as well as the overall bleak atmosphere. At the Telluride festival an audience member reportedly went up to the director and complained "You can't do that," referring to the fact that Henry escapes justice in the film. It was originally given an X rating by the MPAA and is one of the films responsible for the creation of the NC-17 rating.
The films I left out and why
1. Martyrs
- This French horror film is one of the most brutal films I have ever see. One of the things that makes it so brutal is the reality of it all. Very little of what we see in Martyrs is outside the realm of possibility. The film resolves around Ana and Lucia, two childhood friends tormented by Lucia's past. Things start out bad and only get worse. Is the creature tormenting Lucia really only in her mind? As brutal as the film is throughout, the last twenty minutes or so is almost unbearable as Lucia's past catches up with Ana. The ending is as bleak as a film has ever been. It was originally rated 18+ the equivalent of a X or NC-17 rating in the US. On appeal it was changed to a 16.
2. Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer

True Blood? True Hottie Anna Paquin!
True Blood is full of beautiful women and hot hunks, but the star of the show is Sookie Stackhouse played by Anna Paquin. Anna has horror cred beyond true Blood though. She will be starring alongside True Blood and real life biyfriend Stephen Moyer in Open House, directed by her brother Andrew. She also was in the superb Halloween horror movie Trick R Treat and 2002 s the Dark.
FEAST!

The Gene Generation
Gene Generation- Pretty bloody for a sci fi film and actually had a few horror elements. The plot was confusing as hell so lets just throw it out the window and say some people were looking for stuff someone else had, and some other people wanted some other stuff, then the same stuff etc, etc. Mayhem ensues. Bai Ling's acting, well probably the only thing that kept reminding me she wasn't a cardboard cut out was the six foot long nipples, that she showed in a few scenes. Nice but a bit of overkill on mother natures part. The thing I liked was the backgrounds which they didn't bother to make too realistic and gave it a steam punk kind of look. A lot of the architecture was very gothic and dark. You could have easily slipped in a cult of Cthuhlu and no one would have noticed. Speaking of the one who lies not dead, but dreaming, there were a shit load of tentacles in this film. Sprouted by a main character and used to kill. Its a mixed bag you might like it if you can just admire the scenery ( including Bai's nips) and gore but don;t expect much story wise.
The film also stars Parry Shen from Hatchet and Faye Dunaway

Samurai Princess
Samurai Princess is along the lines of Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police, closer to Machine Girl in theme and gore. It's biggest feature is booby grenades and a extendable snapping penis near the end. It does star an Asian porn star so there is some none transformed nudity but not a lot. If you liked the other Japanese body mod films you should at least check this out.
