More Movie Trailers
Found a rather cool site (Upcoming Horror Movies.com) and watched a good few trailers of, well... upcoming horror movies. A few brief thoughts on each follow.
Abominable - It's Rear Window, only with Bigfoot!
Cemetery Gates - It's a genetically engineered Tazmanian Devil living under a cemetery who gets pissed off when a bunch of kids decide to shoot a crappy-looking zombie movie in its home. So it eats them. It looks nothing like Taz.
The Curse of El Charro - This doesn't look that good actually, but I'm including it anyway because the director says he didn't like the trailer either and had nothing to do with it, because Lemmy from Motorhead is apparently in it (as well as Danny Trejo, who I think must have a contract to get a part in every Mexican horror/supernatural/postmodern western made), and because the trailer features lesbian shower action. The ghost of an evil 18th century land baron stakls a bunch of girls on a roadtrip, one of whom is the reincarnation of his lost love. Isn't there always one?
Dead and Breakfast - A group of friends end up stuck in a strange small town when zombies rise. Apparently described as "the US answer to Shaun of the Dead". I'm saying nothing.
The Gathering - Set in contemporary rural England (but with a German-language trailer), Christina Ricci gets hit by a car and ends up convalescing in a strange town where a 1st century church has just been unearthed (insert anacronism here). Looks like we've either got reincarnation or dead people here.
Home Sick - If anyone can work out what's going on here, please tell me.
Return of the Living Dead 4: Necropolis - WooHoo! RotLD movie! Zombies with circular saws and miniguns for arms! Do I need to say more!
Return of the Living Dead 5: Rave From the Grave - Sequel to RotLD 4. The survivors from the previous film get hold of some Trioxyn 2-4-5... and decide to make an ecstasy substitute with it (why? Why?). Zombies ensue.
The Roost - The film looks like one of those low-budget 80s films I periodically end up watching on the Horror Channel and regretting, but we'll give this a mention because it seems to be really trying. The plot consists of teenagers, roadtrip, isolated small town and zombies, in roughly that order.
Undead - Australian zombie movie. Supposed to be quite good. Has farmers in dungarees doing Matrix-esque shooting tricks.
Rottweiler - It's Man's Best Friend crossed with The Terminator. Not a good PR film for Rottweilers.
Night Watch - Holy crap, but this looks interesting. Supernatural forces of good and evil maintain an uneasy truce in Moscaw while looking for 'The Chosen One'. First part of a trilogy. I might almost forgive them for getting their film out before I could get my writings (which contain many of the same ideas) out.
Skeleton Key - Interesting-looking film, set in New Orleans and involving voodoo and the like.
