The Box Trailer – Richard Kelly And Richard Matheson Make Bizarre Pair

26 June 2009 7:10 PM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

Richard Matheson is one of the strangest writers associated with Hollywood. I don't say that because of the myriad horror efforts, Twilight Zone episodes, or things like What Dreams May Come that have his name attached. I say it because so many things he's written just won't go away. Matheson has credits going back to things like 1957's The Incredible Shrinking Man, based on his novel The Shrinking Man, and it's exactly the movie you think it might be based on knowing nothing more than the year and title. He wrote a lot of television back in the day, and then in 1964 we got a movie known as The Last Man on Earth based on a little novel he wrote called I Am Legend. In 1971 we get Omega Man, based on I Am Legend. In 2007 we got both I Am Omega and I Am Legend, also based on the same work. »

Mega-Shark Vs Giant Octopus Trailer

13 May 2009 6:59 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Ok, this is a straight-to-video film and yes, it looks - by any conventional standard - completely dreadful. But Mega-Shark Vs Giant Octopus also looks so utterly bonkers that it might just prove hilarious, in the same way that Empire forum favourite Shark Attack 3 is dreadful but entertaining.The plot sees a gigantic shark and equally ma-hoooo-sive octopus frozen for 10 million years while locked in mortal combat, only to be reawoken in our time and cause havoc with modern shipping and indeed air travel up and down the coast of California.The film stars Debbie Deborah Gibson and Lorenzo Lamas, and is written and directed by Jack Perez. It all comes from The Asylum, the same studio that brought us I Am Omega and Street Racer. So you know it's good. And hey, any film where a gigantic shark jumps 35,000 feet in the air has got to be worth watching - right? »

Find Salvation From These Phony 'Terminators'

20 April 2009 3:27 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

I'm reminded every summer of The Asylum, a low budget studio that makes films loosely based on the big movies in theaters at the time. It's no coincidence: Snakes on a Train, I Am Omega, Da Vinci Treasure, Sunday School Musical, and Transmorphers are titles in the Asylum catalog.

It's a banner summer for Asylum, too, whatever that means. Just look at these movies they very nearly came up with on their own: Dragonquest, Transmorphers: Fall of Man, The Land That Time Forgot, and the mysteriously named The Terminators. Gee, I wonder what that could be all about.

Well, according to the description, it's nothing like Terminator Salvation: "A small band of resistance fighters battle the cyborgs that have taken control of the planet."

See? Completely different. If you need more proof, just watch the award-winning trailer for The Terminators: »

Jaws -- of the Mississippi?

6 April 2009 1:10 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

No, Jaws of the Mississippi is not the title of a recently discovered Mark Twain manuscript that pits Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Fin in a life-or-death battle with a Great White shark ("We're gonna need a bigger raft!"). It is, however, the title of a new killer shark movie involving a radioactive Great White prowling the freshwaters of the Mississippi River.

Yes, a radioactive shark, but not of the glowing atomic age monster variety, in case you're expecting something truly outlandish. I'll let the Active Entertainment plot synopsis explain the premise:

"A massive hurricane devastates the Gulf of Mexico, with it a Us government’s top-secret anti-bioterrorism facility. When one of its highly radioactive chemicals spills into the ocean, it triggers mutations in a great white shark, enabling its adaptation to survive in freshwater. As this shark wreaks havoc on local Mississippi River towns, it poses the additional risk of »

Wolvesbayne, Apocalypse & Angels Trailers!

19 January 2009 3:11 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Last month we got a first look at the trailer for Bullet Films' adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's Dunwich Horror starring Jeffrey Combs. Now we've got the trailers for three more Bullet Films productions featuring werewolves, vampires, the potential end of the world, and rednecks battling robots.

The one you might be most interested in is Wolvesbayne, which I first told you about back in July. Jeremy London ("Party of Five") stars as a newly transformed werewolf recruited by a team of vampire hunters to stop a Nazi vampire cult led Yancy Butler ("Witchblade") and Marc Dacascos (Brotherhood of the Wolf).

Wolfsbayne was directed by Griff Furst (I Am Omega, 100 Million BC) from a script by Leigh Scott (Transmorphers, Bram Stoker's Dracula's Curse). Dig the trailer below:
