SILENT HOUSE ...first trailer.

Quote:

There is a rare subgenre that pushes this style to the brink: Films that claim to be filmed entirely in real-time, in one take. Hitchcock did that (kind of) with the dark comedy Rope; Alexander Sokurov did it with Russian Ark; and now, the upcoming Silent House will use the style in the service of an old-fashioned scary-house horror film.

Silent House is actually a remake of a Uruguayan film, although the real story here is Silent House will be the first post-breakout film for Elizabeth Olsen. Also, fun fact: Silent House is directed by Chris Kentis and Laura Lau, who were last in theaters with 2003′s Open Water.

THIN ICE ...first trailer of the dark comedy.

Quote:

A morally ambiguous Midwesterner trying to make a quick buck.
A devious get-rich-quick scheme comically thwarted by a random act of violence.
Snow — lots of snow.
Before you run off to watch Fargo again, be sure to check out the trailer for Thin Ice, a Jill Sprecher-directed comedy that reunites a down-on-his-luck Greg Kinnear with his Little Miss Sunshine costar Alan Arkin.

Mickey Prohaska (Greg Kinnear) is a small-time insurance agent looking for a way to jump-start his business, reunite with his estranged wife (Lea Thompson) and escape the frigid Wisconsin weather. This self-proclaimed master of spin believes that salesmanship is about selling a story -- all he needs is a sucker willing to buy it. He hits pay dirt with a lonely retired farmer (Alan Arkin) who is sitting on something much bigger than an insurance commission. A (very) small fortune. His simple scheme to con the old man goes madcap when a violent locksmith (Billy Crudup) intervenes, putting the whole gang on some very, yep, thin ice.

ATM ...first trailer.

Quote:

The film centers on three friends: Josh Peck (The Wackness) , Alice Eve (She's Out of My League), and Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker), who make a routine trip at night to pick up some cash from an ATM vestibule, but become trapped when a murderous psychopath threatens to psychopathically murder them.

ATM will be released by IFC Midnight sometime later this year.

Been waiting for Silent House for a while. Anyone seen the original? Any good?

I watched the original a week or so back, great atmosphere and the tension builds nicely. I wouldn't say the plot is especially groundbreaking, but the delivery is great and presenting it in one continuous take really works nicely. Well worth a watch, seems like a pointless remake.

DRACULA 3D ...Dario Argento's Hammer-ish take on the classic fable.

Quote:

JOHN DIES AT THE END ...promising new dark comedy/horror by vet Don Coscarelli, based on the online book series by David Wong.

Stars Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes, Paul Giamatti, Glynn Turman and Clancy Brown.

Quote:

It's a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. On the street they call it Soy Sauce, and users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John and David, a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No. No, they can't.

Anyone seen the trailer for The Theatre Bizarre. Looks great. Been waiting for a creepshow type movie for a while. Seems like they nailed it, for now at least.

WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT ...first trailer.

Quote:

While the International Film Festival Rotterdam is widely known for its bold selection of arthouse films there's another side to the festival as well. Rotterdam is arguably the most genre friendly of the major European festivals, the programmers there have an excellent eye for up and coming talent, particularly in the space where arthouse film and genre film collide.

Need an example? Rotterdam was where a little Swedish vampire film titled Let The Right One In was discovered by the world.

And it looks like they may have another of that high caliber in Pat Holden's When The Lights Went Out.

Claiming to be based upon a true story - though what horror film doesn't do that these days? - the picture revolves around a family moving into a new house. Only the house may not have been empty, exactly, when they moved in.

A smart, character driven haunting story is what the trailer promises with Kate Ashfield, Craig Parkinson, and Gary Lewis delivering what look to be very strong performances.

7500....Takashi Shimizu's upcoming supernatural thriller!

Written by Craig Rosenberg (TV's "Lost") and produced by Taka Ichise (The Grudge) and Roy Lee (The Ring), 7500 follows the 273 passengers aboard a Vista Pacific Flight to Japan are far from alone on their 10 hour flight. They encounter what appears to be a supernatural force...

Release date: August 31st, 2012.
