Horror movies this summer
For any other horror fans out there (anybody? anybody?) this summer looks to be one hell of a trip.
This month we'll be seeing "Wrong Turn", starring Eliza Dushku and a bunch of inbred, cannabalistic hillbillies. The trailers have been deemed too intense by the MPAA so I'm psyched (plus advance reviews say that this is a lot like the episode of X-Files when Mulder and Scully had to deal with that clan of inbred hillbillies in PA)
Also due sometime this summer we have the indie British hit "28 Days Later" from the guys who did "Trainspotting". Shot on digital and looks to be pretty badass. A post-apocalyptic zombie movie, can you dig it?
Another indie film that's been getting absolutely rave reviews from genre and non-horror fans alike is "Cabin Fever" (which had a teaser on HO1KC). This one will come out in August and deals with a flesh-eating virus that consumes a cabin full of teenagers.
Last but most certainly not least, "Freddy vs. Jason" will finally hit the big screen on August 15. Mark your calenders now. This film's been in development for eons now and while Kane Hodder won't be reprising his role as Jason this should still deliver some sex and violence for fans of the series. Directed by Ronny "Bride of Chucky" Yu.
Also coming out, "Beyond Re-Animator" - the third movie in a pretty kickass series of campy horror, and the video game adaption "House of the Dead".
Those of you looking to support child molesters and sequels to very crappy (even by horror standards) movies can find "Jeepers Creepers 2" also.

mmmmmmmm Eliza........
If I was a cannibalistic hillbilly - she would be one of the choices I would make for a meal too.
BTW - thank god I'm not.

I umm . . . "acquired" 28 Days Later, I haven't watched it yet. It came out in Britain a while back, I'm glad it got a theatrical release here.

28 Days - from the trailer - looks good. But the movie that really got my attention (comes out in Sept) is one called "Underworld" I think. Caught the trailer when I went to Identity. Looks really, really good.

The thing that really excites me about this movie (besides the lovely Kate Beckinsdale (sp) in tighter leather) is that when people talk about this movie they don't try and say "oh, it's a crime thriller, love story with a supernatural backdrop". No, they say it's a horror movie with a Romeo & Juliet twist . . . except that of course it's werewolves and vampires instead of two feuding families.
September and October have a ton of good horror releases. Can't wait.

I watched the trailer at www.apple.com which is different that the one in the theater. I thought it was much better.

And don't forget "Underworld" with the luscious Kate Beckinsale in an action, Blade-like role.

That date (Sept. 19) has been circled, underlined, blocked out, etc. for the opening of that movie. I can't wait to see it. In the trailer - where she jumps out of the balcony - lands with that little "bounce" and walks across the street was pretty tight. Looks like it's going to be a good movie.

They changed the name of Underworld to The Covenant. Don't know why.

Title Note: (5/7/03) There have been reports of a test screening in the L.A. area this past weekend in which this movie was presented not as 'Underworld', but as 'The Covenant', but it appears this might have been a 'cover title', which studios sometimes use to disguise what movie is actually playing (a screening of 'The Hulk' might be called 'Smash and Grab', for example).

This from Cinecon.com's site: Also, a rep from Sony/Columbia Pictures has informed us that the title is still "Underworld" and not "The Covenant" as reported on Ain't it Cool News ( http://www.aintitcool.com).
Gee, didn't Chap just get done saying not to believe everything you read at aintitcool.com?
