Hatchet 2 is not alone; virtually every film gets jacked on the day of released. You can find bootlegs everywhere, and quite frankly it’s tempting to steal a movie when I am only marginally interested. Especially if the movie looks bad. I was arguing with a friend earlier today on why he thought it was “OK” to watch a streaming movie on an illegal torrent site. He said “I didn’t download it, so it’s not like I stole it, I just watched it”.
$18 mil for horror in three days, not too shabby!
This weekend there are a couple of great looking horror movies coming to the theaters, Hatchet 2, Let Me In are leading the pack, but my favorite film of the year is playing in your living room! Gareth Edwards first film MONSTERS is available now through Video On Demand, iTunes, Xbox Live, Playstation Marketplace, Amazon and Vudu! Fortunatly I had a chance to ask Gareth a few questions about how he actually made this movie for the rumored low price of $25,000.
pretty impressive web series called The Universal Dead!
This morning The Jim Henson Company announced that two of our HORROR buddies Peter and Michael Spierig (Daybreakers and The Undead) are heading up the long awaited sequel to THE DARK CRYSTAL in 3D. The Spierig Brothers have gone from making an insanely cool little zombie flick in their garage to a big budget zombie flick, and now to the coveted roll of directing what (in my mind) is the most anticipated sequel of all time! Thankfully we are in good hands with these guys!
The reviews are coming in for the upcoming film Repo Men!
Of the many comments I received, some people disagree with the list I made and claim that I was “stretching” on many of the topics. I would just like to clarify that the point of the article was to shine a light on the many similarities. I am not calling for a boycott, not suggesting a lawsuit, and certainly not telling people not to see the movie. I was just stating the similarities in black and white. Are they debatable? Of course they are, and I want you to debate them. But the fact is; Repo Men is a different story, with some uncanny similarities.
