Highly recommended:
DOG SOLDIERS (IMDb)A British Squad is sent on a training mission in the Highlands of Scotland against Special Operations squad. Ignoring the childish "campfire" stories heard about the area, they continue with their mission and come across the bloody remains of the Special Ops Squad, and a fierce howling is pitching the night sky... With two mortally wounded men, they make an escape, running into a zoologist by the name of Megan - who knows exactly what hunts them. What began as what they thought was a training mission turns into a battle for their lives against the most unlikely enemies they would have expected - werewolves. "Dog Soldiers" successfully mixes horror, suspense, and action; in way very similar to what "Alien" did before, although with a small dose of dark humor that blends perfectly in the mix. Neil Marshall pays homage to the genre he loves and at the same time he delivers one of the most original movies of the genre. Along with the Canadian "Ginger Snaps", this movie ranks among the best werewolf movies and it seems that this also be remembered as a renaissance for the genre. One of the strongest points of the movie, is the skillful use of its limited special effects. According to many sources, Marshall intended to use CG effects, but after the poor results, he decided to use the traditional effects of make-up and prosthetics. While this may sound like a bad choice, Marshall manages not only to present one of the scariest and most intimidating werewolf design to date; his mastery with the camera and the lighting allow him to give more power to the image of his wolf and hide any flaw the special effect may have. The acting is surprisingly good, with Sean Pertwee and Kevin McKidd in the lead roles, as Sgt. Harry Wells and Pvt. Cooper respectively. They carry the movie perfectly and Sean Pertwee has great scenes in his role as the grumpy Sgt. Wells. The whole cast has enough chances to shine, as the script is very well developed and the characters are more than bi-dimensional soldiers. Each one has a story and a defined personality, something rare in modern horror movies. The direction is flawless, and the story very original; the least that can be said about "Dog Soldiers" is that it will become a classic. |

Dog Soldiers is great, it and the Ginger Snaps films are the best of the current werewolf films. I have no patience for werewolf films that rely on CGI, so DS and GS were a nice change of pace.
I've heard rumors of a sequel. |

|
I hope so! Some movies deserve to have a sequel.

LAST MAN ON EARTH (1964) (IMDb)Dr. Robert Morgan is the only survivor of a devastating world-wide plague due to a mysterious immunity he acquired to the bacterium while working in Central America years ago. He is all alone now... or so it seems. As night falls, plague victims begin to leave their graves, part of a hellish undead army that''s thirsting for blood...his! Said to be the best Vincent Price movie ever made. The Last Man on Earth (Italian: L'ultimo uomo della Terra) is a 1964 horror/science fiction film based upon the Richard Matheson novel I Am Legend (1954). Price's specialty was always in playing characters who were both menacing and menaced, so the role of Dr. Robert Morgan fits him like a glove. While it is plain that the plague victims are monstrous, Price seems to be even more so, running around in the daylight, staking helpless victims while they sleep. He is both a tragic and pathetic figure...so distanced from his humanity that he can't seem to comprehend what his literary counterpart in "I Am Legend" understands by story's end: "Normalcy was a majority concept, the standard of many and not the standard of just one man." And yet, I can't but think of the novel's last lines as I watch the film's end: "Full circle, he thought while the final lethargy crept into his limbs. Full circle. A new terror born in death, a new superstition entering the unassailable fortress of forever. I am legend." Differences from the novel: The protagonist of the novel is named Robert Neville, not Robert Morgan. The movie also changed Neville/Morgan's profession from plant worker to scientist. The vampires are almost zombie-like, whereas in the book, they are fast, capable of running and climbing. The dog that shows up on Neville's doorstep is timid in the novel, and comes and goes as it pleases. The relationship with Ruth also slightly differs from the novel, and no transfusion takes place; a cure seems implausible, even as Neville hopes he will find one. Ruth escapes after Neville discovers that she is infected. He isn't captured until many months later, and even then he barely fights his capture. The book ends shortly before Neville is to be executed: Ruth returns to give him suicide pills, and finds it ironic that he has become as much of a legend to the new society as vampires once were to his (hence the title). The novel implies that the vampire plague resulted from a biological disease. The origin of the disease is not explained in The Last Man on Earth, and is altered in the subsequent adaptations. This is a classic that you would not want to miss. |

Victor Crowley Lives! 'Hatchet 3' Officially Announced!
Hot on the heels of the successful VOD and DVD release of Hatchet 2, Dark Sky Films today announced it has given the green light to the production of Hatchet 3! The film, centered once again on the genre’s most fearsome new villain, Victor Crowley, will be produced by ArieScope Pictures and Dark Sky Films, a subsidiary of leading independent producer and distributor MPI Media Group. With cast and other production details to be announced shortly, Hatchet 3 will continue where the story left off in Hatchet 2, as a young woman sought revenge on the malevolent monster that killed her family while they were fishing in Louisiana swamp country. Inside you'll find a few more details, although it's still unknown who will direct. Sound off below! Adam Green Hatchet Victory CrowleyWriter-director Adam Green said: "We already had a possible story-line for HATCHET 3 worked out before we began shooting HATCHET 2, so my cast, crew and I are beyond excited to see that the story and legacy of Victor Crowley will indeed continue. For a little indie movie that I dreamt up when I was just eight years old, it has been absolutely surreal to watch it turn into a modern-day slasher franchise." Greg Newman, Executive Vice President of Dark Sky Films, said: "It has been our intention from the beginning to make the HATCHET story an episodic one. Adam Green created a horror icon in Victor Crowley, and we’re pleased that Crowley will live on in future installments of the franchise." HATCHET 3 will continue the saga of Crowley, the "Bayou Butcher," who first made his gruesome mark in 2007’s groundbreaking Hatchet. Adam Green’s Hatchet 2Hatchet 2’s new DVD release have further solidified the franchise’s enduring appeal. Hatchet 3 will be produced by ArieScope’s Cory Neal, producer of the previous two hits. In addition to the Hatchet films, ArieScope’s other productions include Frozen, Spiral and Grace. Cory Neal said, "We are thrilled to again work with Dark Sky, the company that has been so instrumental in the success of this growing franchise."

That is good news, but isn't Dark Sky the one who edited the first two films shortly after it was released?

That is good news, but isn't Dark Sky the one who edited the first two films shortly after it was released? No. Dark Sky was on Adam Green's side the whole time. And DS only distributed the second Hatchet. |

So did you like it? Sequel coming: The Collection.
The writer/director of The Collector is also the guy who created the Feast trilogy, and he's penning the upcoming Piranha sequel. |

It was a nice horror film, but it reminded me of Saw. I didn't like the ending.

Slasher Film Sledgehammer Coming To DVD
I have to admit, I’ve never seen the 1983 slasher film Sledgehammer, but now I have a chance thanks to Intervision Pictures Corp.. According to Retro Slashers, the start-up distributor plans to release the movie to DVD on May 10. I’m excited about this release because Sledgehammer was directed by David A. Prior, who directed one of my favorite slasher movies Killer Workout. Heralding the revolutionary roar of shot on video (SOV) horror at the dawn of the 1980s, Sledgehammer is the gore-soaked saga of seven party animals, their trip to a haunted house, and their ensuing battle with an ultra-creepy, flannel-wearing, sledgehammer-wielding behemoth. In other words, it’s everything you want out of a SOV slasher complete with Bill Murray impersonations! Helmed by writer-director David A. Prior and starring Ted Prior, David’s iconic trash-superstar sibling, Sledgehammer is SOV nirvana, a paradoxical wonderland of outrageous hilarity, cool sweatpants, and genuinely unsettling chills. Appropriately staking its claim as the very first SOV horror film produced implicitly for the home video market, joins Sledgehammer, Black Devil Doll From Hell and Video Violence 2 as a bona fide cornerstone in grungy, homemade horror. The synths are thick. The sex is weird. The food fight is superb. So what are you waiting for? Get PRIOR-itized! NOW! http://www.horroryearbook.com/5416965/slasher-film-sledgehammer-coming-to-dvd |

I saw this movie last night on TMC, it's called Pig Hunt....i liked it, decent gore, lots of weed, boobs and hillbillies... kind of a deliverance meets some hungry pigs....
Genre: Action & Adventure, Horror Synopsis: When John takes his San Francisco friends to his deceased uncle's remote ranch to hunt wild pigs, it seems like a typical guys weekend with guns. But as John and his crew trek deeper into the forest, they begin tracking the awful truth about his uncle's demise and the legend of The Ripper -- a murderous three-thousand-pound black boar. Their pursuit leads them through fields of marijuana and into the muddy landscape of Big Wallow, where a group of throat-slitting cult girls grow dope by day and worship a giant killer pig by night. More Rated: R – See Full Rating for strong bloody violence and gore, drug content, sexuality, nudity and language Running Time: 1 hr. 47 min. In Theaters: Jul 31, 2008 Wide On DVD: Sep 28, 2010 Directed By: James Isaac Written By: Zack Anderson, Robert Mailer Anderson trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79Ecc6_dqzQ |

Hmmm...I don't think I've seen that one yet, but I think I ran across a forum post about it on another site. Will definitely include it in my list then. Thanks for sharing, Moe! Oh, have you seen The Hills Run Red? If you haven't, go watch it and I'm sure you'll love it, if only for the boobies. Haha. I made a post about it on this thread a page back, I think. :) |
