Mum and Dad - Trailer
2008-12-23 19:55:00
Partly inspired by the grisly, real-life exploits of serial killers Fred and Rosemary West, and starring Shane Meadows regular Perry Benson (Somers Town; This Is England), the film puts a unique spin on the British horror genre, setting its tale very close to home (quite literally) and resulting in a brutally realistic horror story.Directed by Steven Sheil and co-starring Dido Miles, Olga Fedori, Toby Alexander and newcomer Ainsley Howard, this boundary-pushing journey into suburban terror is not without its moments of dark humour, but, viewers be warned, MUM & DAD is definitely not a film for the squeamish or the easily offended.www.mumanddadthemovie.com Read More tags: horror, uk film

Blaxploitation Pride
2008-12-22 18:00:00
"An era of its own. A time when American was in a transition from separatism to civil rights. The 70's was a Golden Age on so many levels and the influence echoes around the world in present day. Blaxploitation is considered in my opinion to be the coolest of cool. Touching on the most sensitive material in America at its time and exploiting them on the big screen or the vinyls in your record player produced for a glorified genre that nobody will ever be able to duplicate."Fans of "cult film" and / or funk music should really check this blog out as it's a brilliant resource.www.blaxploitationpride.org Via: Blaxploitation Pride Read More tags: blaxploitation, blogs, funk, kung fu

5 Small PC's For The Living Room
2008-12-17 18:10:00
Technology changes the way we live and for many the Internet has surpased television programming as their number one recreational activity. So like me, you probably have a large LCD / plasma TV in the room you deem the living room. However for me personally, the idea of sitting in front of it for periods of time actually channel surfing or even worse watching one channel's programing schedule for a period of time has become an alien one. Modern life, choice and of course the aforementioned interweb has killed off both the desire and the attention span. Actually using a TV in the way we did back when I was a child in the 80's seems as ridiculous as having a land line telephone (I tried to sign up to ebay.co.uk and it asked me for one the other day. I thought "you what, I've not had one in a decade, surely only telesales people use them to ring you"). No, old form TV is dead to me, I couldn't care less about the shared watercooler experience of "did ...

Frank Henenlotter's Bad Biology On DVD 16th February 2009
2008-12-17 17:27:00
Acclaimed shlock-horror director Frank Henenlotter (the Basket Case trilogy, Frankenhooker, Brain Damage) makes a deliciously perverse and hugely welcome return to outrageously repulsive form with his first film in 16 years, Bad Biology , a bizarre and twisted story of a genitally-endowed young woman's search for sexual fulfilment.Opening with the voice-over line, "I was born with seven clits," the film introduces us to Jennifer (Charlee Danielson), an insatiable nymphomaniac whose multi-pronged sexual organ has given her a constant craving for penile stimulation. Unfortunately, the sexual satisfaction Jennifer seeks is proving very hard to find. Worse, each disappointing sexual encounter she experiences results in a two-hour pregnancy period that produces an always-unwanted mutant baby.Unknown to Jennifer, just across town lies the solution to her frustration in the form of a young man called Batz (Anthony Sneed), whose own sexual shortcomings have led him to inject g...

The Unborn - Trailer
2008-12-17 17:18:00
Sometimes the soul of a dead person has been so tainted with evil that it is denied entrance to heaven. It must endlessly wander the borderlands between worlds, desperately searching for a new body to inhabit. And sometimes it actually succeeds.Writer/director David Goyer (Blade: Trinity, The Invisible, Batman Begins) gives a terrifying glimpse into the life of the undead in The Unborn, a supernatural thriller that follows a young woman pulled into a world of nightmares when a demonic spirit haunts her and threatens everyone she loves. Casey Bell (Odette Yustman) hated her mother for leaving her as a child. But when inexplicable things start to happen, Casey begins to understand why she left. Plagued by merciless dreams and a tortured ghost that haunts her waking hours, she must turn to the only spirtual advisor, Sendak (Gary Oldman), who can make it stop.

Yeah! Daily Mail employees who, I’m willing to bet, 99% of are not remotely offended and don’t object to any of the things they’re seeing, that are just subscribing to that paper’s grim, depressing sort of envious editorial style.

The Bird People In China
2008-11-25 19:07:00
A Salaryman and a world-weary Yakuza travel to a remote part of China in search of Jade, only to discover a life so far untouched and so far removed from their own that it effects them each in unexpected ways. Takashi Miike has become rather a household name in the cult movie circles these days thanks to the increasing popularity of the Asia Extreme cinema, famed for its raw and frenetic violence and disturbed narrative. I myself have come to know Miike through this very strain of film and so you can just imagine my surprise when I happened upon The Bird People In China. With all its promises of “a haunting and poetic masterpiece” and such like it was certainly an intriguing contradiction in terms of director and subject. With such an interesting premise I couldn’t help but wonder if Miike would pull it off. What followed was nearly two hours of what must be the gentlest film I’ve ever seen, and certainly one of the loveliest as the story takes its own time m...

Water
2008-11-25 19:04:00
Deepa Metha's Water is set against the backdrop of civil unrest in India during the 1930's. As Gandhi’s call for passive resistance against British colonial rule grows and the country begins to find itself in turmoil. Set in the city of Varanasi it looks at the life of Hindu widows sent away from their homes after their husband’s deaths. They must live a shadowy existence as "living corpses", because of an interpretation of Hindu text. It is believed by some that when a husband dies a widow who lives on is half dead herself, because her husband made up half of what she was when he was living. The film caused a great deal of controversy when it was filmed with religious hardliners who believed it to be critical of the Hindu faith rioting and sending death threats to the cast and crew. How ever Metha's film is far more a look at social injustice than it is a film designed to be critical of faith.The film starts out with a seven year old child being...
