'High Tension' US Cut Missing Less Than a Minute!
The Gatekeeper over at Lions Gate Horror writes:
"I talked to a lot of people. There seems to be some concern about there being cuts to the movie so it can get an "R" rating. Here is my take for what it's worth: To my knowledge Lions Gate would like to give HIGH TENSION a wide release. To release this film or any film for that matter, as unrated or NC-17 is commercial suicide. Do you realize that most of your commericial theaters will not play NC-17/unrated movies? Add to that a lot of newspapers won't even place ads for movies with such ratings. What's a studio to do???
In the case of Lions Gate, they cut a frame here and there. It doesn't even amount to a minutes time. That's less than 60 seconds so a great horror movie can reach as many people possible---yeah, that includes YOU. Besides you'll probably get that time back when it's released on DVD. Trust me. The fine folks at Lions Gate know what they're doing. They're not going PG-13 on you aka Ring, The Grudge, Alien vs. Predator. Savor the R rating and kudos to Lions Gate for keeping the "R" in horro"R".

The Spierig Bros. Twist Up the Vampire Genre
Now Playing writes:
"Michael Spierig and Peter Spierig, the Australian writing/directing team behind the zombie flick Undead (which is getting a U.S. release this summer from Lions Gate), recently chatted with Now Playing about what’s next for the pair. And it looks like the brothers are aiming for another tried and true subgenre within horror: the vampire film. “[We] just finished the next draft [for Daybreakers] and are about to deliver it to Lions Gate,” the pair says. “Everyone’s very excited about it. The film is much darker and far more serious than Undead. It’s about a world dominated by vampires.” Anyone who’s seen Undead reports that the Spierigs are not churning out your run of the mill horror schlock, and it sounds as though Daybreakers will continue to explore new ground for the genre. “[The vampires] have tried to continue their lives as normal people,” they explain. “Human beings are on the brink of extinction [and] it's just a matter of time before the entire human population is wiped out. Vampires will suffer an eternity of starvation and madness if they can't find an alternative to human blood, [but] one man discovers a solution that will save the vampire race – they must become human again.” Daybreakers is expected to hit theaters in 2006, but look for Undead in the meantime this July."

Another vampire movie is cool but I would like to see someone tackle a Werewolf movie. Face it, there hasn't been a good werewolf movie since American werwolf in London and the Howling. the only movie that made an attempt was Waxwork in 1988. While it wasn't a pure werewolf movie the design of the wolf was one of the best I've seen and definately was a highlight for me. So please, make another GOOD werewolf movie.
Sorry for the rant.
Sorry for the rant.

I just watched a weird russian film called "Nightwatch"....it's just now hitting the states, but I found the russian dvd with english subs on ebay. Not a bad film, but it wasn't as good as the trailer made it out to be. It's part one of a planned trilogy. If you are fan of "Underworld" and movies in that vein, then this is for you.

I am so pumped for Land of the Dead. I've seen a few pics of nice juicy gore and it has a good cast(Asia Argento :lovecoupl ). I had the oppertunity to meet George Romero about a year ago and he told me he was going to try to make it as gory as possible. :bowdown:
Come On, Just ONE More 'Evil Dead' DVD...
Not that the other twenty editions weren;t enough, Davis DVD reports, "It's back to the "Evil Dead" well for another helping of ghoulish mayhem with Anchor Bay's Evil Dead 2: Book of the Dead 2. Director Sam Raimi's kick-ass sequel gets a wicked re-release this time around with its very own collectible Necronomicon "Book of the Dead" packaging designed, once again, by special effects guru Tom Sullivan. As an added bonus over the last Necronomicon release, you'll be able to press the bulging eye to hear the book scream! Look for the disc itself to feature the first ever high-definition Divimax transfer of this classic film, along with new and exciting bonus materials. No street date yet, so stay tuned." Awww no collectible tin?

'Land of the Dead' Takes a Bite Out of the MPAA
The Motion Picture Association of America has granted George A. Romero’s Land of the Dead an R rating for "pervasive strong violence and gore, language, brief sexuality and some drug use." Isn't this a surprise? Yeah sorry I know this is boring news, but just in case some of you were worried about it being PG-13, here's your chill pill. Romero's fourth zombie flick hits theaters June 24th from Universal Pictures.
