Driven by biological excess, a young man and woman search for sexual fulfillment, unaware of each other’s existence. Unfortunately, they eventually meet, and the bonding of these two very unusual human beings ends in an explosive and ultimately over-the-top sexual experience, resulting in a truly godawful love story.

MOVIE REVIEW

“Returning to feature directing after a decade and a half of absence, Frank Henenlotter is back to screw up whatever ideas you had about where horror could go. Mixing loads of gore, sexual allegories that would make a young Cronenberg blush and a sense of humour that’s so tongue in cheek it will make your gums bleed, Bad Biology marks a peak in a career of high points.” Read more …

SYNOPSIS

The two will star as brothers on a mission of revenge who become trapped in a harrowing occult experiment that dates back to the Third Reich.

MOVIE REVIEW

“In the end, it’s a solid B-movie that will have to struggle to find its audience on DVD, where it will be lost among the hundreds of shitty horror movies that deserved their fate.”

By: BC

It’s not going to make the Academy Award producers give a 2nd thought to how they treat horror films, but Blood Creek (the latest victim of Lionsgate’s seeming hatred for any horror movies that don’t star a guy named Jigsaw), is an enjoyable, marginally original, and fast-paced tale, with a franchise-ready villain and some truly entertaining setpieces.

Reviews:

By: BC

It’s rare that I dislike a novel that I read. For starters, I don’t read many (especially these days); I’m lucky to get through 6 books a year (which includes non-fiction stuff). So I don’t just read any old thing, I usually need to be sold on it. And since Alice Sebold’s “The Lovely Bones” was praised by everyone, I figured I would enjoy it when I picked it up in 2004. But alas, I was mostly bored by it. I liked the concept, and it did strike a nerve here and there, but it was ultimately overlong, somewhat unfocused (for a while the book was more about her sister’s burgeoning relationship than anything else, like someone stuck a “Sweet Valley High” book in the middle of my ghost novel), and ultimately anticlimactic; the final 50 pages or so reminded me of Bartledanian literature. But that Peter Jackson fella is a pretty gifted filmmaker, so I was pretty optimistic that The Lovely Bones would be a success on film. Read more …

Nightmare On Elm Street (2010) HQ Poster, Synopsis, Cast, Photos and News

With the San Diego Comic Con kicking off tomorrow, Warner Bros. Pictures has given us the thumbs up to share with you guys a small preview piece from our visit to the set of A Nightmare on Elm Street, which shot on locations in both Chicago and Indiana over the past few months. Below you’ll get first word from your new Freddy Krueger, Jackie Earle Haley, as we inspect the new “look” of Freddy. Elm Street is slated for release on April 16, 2010. Watch for our massive set reports later this year….

The Midwest. It’s hot, it’s cold, it’s raining, it’s thundering, and goddamn are the mosquitoes out for blood - they aren’t the only ones. Sitting in a make-up truck outside of an old abandoned church in Gary, IN is Jackie Earle Haley, who within four hours time will be transformed into Freddy Krueger, the iconic child molester that has been tearing up the big screen with his patent razor-glove for 25 years now.

But when A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET hits theaters next April, you’ll be seeing a new Freddy. Robert Englund, who has donned the infamous red and green sweater and fedora for eight films now, is passing the torch onto Jackie Earle Haley, who told Bloody-Disgusting exclusively about how he really wanted to dive deep into the human side of ol’ Freddy.

“I still wanted to get in there though and find the human side of this guy - what makes him tick at a certain level. I wanted to make it real. It is like trying to get that perfect balance between the human side, the real side, but also don’t lose sight of the mythology, what this guy is and whom he represents.” He continues talking about the discovery that Freddy IS the Boogeyman, and that it’s even more terrifying not knowing his motives, “A lot of that was finding out is that he’s a Boogeyman, he’s a guy that represents everyone’s deep inner fear. Like having something come at you that you just can’t stop, having something come at you that you just don’t understand. When you begin to understand, no matter how off the logic, no matter how much reason and logic you apply to it; you can’t break through. It is coming no matter what, no matter how illogical it is.” Read more …
