Mike reviews this Uwe Boll movie over at Flash-Bang Movie Reviews

I had to laugh at Mike's opening line in this review; "I’ve had a dig or two at director Uwe Boll in the past"! Really? What self-respecting movie geek hasn't? But, I have to say, the trailer doesn't look all that bad. I found the trailer for Postal tasteless and amusing in a Borat kind of way. And I *cough* kinda enjoyed House of the Dead. Yep, you knows it, I'm a sucker for the Zed movie :O

Frankly I'm not going to slag off a guy's movies if I havent' seen them and clearly a lot of "reviewers" don't actually watch them. I won't name and shame, they're obvious and have talkbacks ;o)

Check out Stoic if you've got an open mind.

FEARSHOP.com podcast - Episode 13...

...the one where Flash-Bang Mike and myself get a mention. Thanks guys!

"Four reviews of some very popular movies. First, we start off with 2 Nazi Zombie movies: Dead Snow and Outpost. Both movies are relatively unknown movies, although Dead Snow will get a limited theatrical release soon. From there, we move to Toby Wilkins' Splinter, a new age monster movie that is gaining some steam these days. We round out the podcast with a discussion on End of the Line. Get our takes as well as opinions from some of our listeners on these four horror movies.

Also, we continue with our Top 50 Horror Movies of all-time list with numbers 31-35.

News includes updates on Trick 'r Treat and the new Scream trilogy."

These guys know their horror, even if they don't always agree with us ;o) Life would be boring if they did :O)

Remember that these guys sell quality T-Shirts, like this new release;

PIG HUNT is...
"Enjoyably offbeat...unpredictably mixing disparate pacing, tones, humor and brute action. Fans tired of rote remakes and ripoffs will appreciate the pics idiocyncracy. The action is no-holds-barred muscular." – Variety

"The finest horror film to have been made this year!" – Eye for Film

"Holy Sh*t - what a f***ing crazy flick! I was on the edge of my seat...It's one seriously balls out horror/action hybrid." – Arrow in the Head

"On the verge of kick-assery...Moments so exciting they can only be described with made-up words...triptacular. It's B-movie heaven" – Portland Daily Vanguard

"Pig Hunt retains an unpredictability that no bottom-line-focused mainstream horror film would dare...or even conceive of." – San Francisco Bay Guardian

"A total gore-filled freakfest of a film." – SF Weekly

"The wildest American horror movie of the year!" – Mitch Davis, Fantasia Film Festival

"PIG HUNT is an intense and scary ride that goes places you never expect." – Tony Timpone, editor FANGORIA

"It’s a big, bloody sausage that Isaac has packed with ground up bits of plot and camera angles from Deliverance, Predator and every monster movie from Evil Dead to Black Sheep." – Willamete Week

"I really liked this movie, I did. Pig Hunt is a flawed, but really fun film, that you'll enjoy..." – Film Threat

"Damn fun from start to finish!" – IndieWeek

“One sizzling hot slice of giant killer pig mayhem you are not going to want to miss. Harkening back to flicks like Deliverence, Razorback, and Piranha, Pig Hunt is a genre bending ass-kicker that is sure to please…”
–Twitch

PIG HUNT -- : synopsis by Another Hole in the Head

"The hunt begins in San Francisco, where John is about to take his group of weekend warriors on a male bonding excursion into the outback of the Californian hills to bag wild boar. As we are ushered away from the land of pretty views, Victorian houses and perfectly formed cappuccino foam, we are quickly introduced to tattooed war vets and crazed inbred hillbillies high on biker crank, gunpowder, and gasoline. This is also a world inhabited by sexy commune girls who grow pot, raise emus and worship pleasure, pigs and mud baths. And that’s before they cross paths with the legendary “Ripper,” a three thousand pound wild hog. PIG HUNT is unquestionably the best of its breed, with sudden impact, steaming guts, and heart-pounding chase scenes. A shot of pure adrenaline with a chaser of dark, dark humor. Pig Hunt delivers the goods in dripping buckets and an XXL side of bacon!"

Interview: Jim Beaver

I stumbled across an interview with Jim Beaver, star of Supernatural and Harper's Way, and thought it was worth people looking at;

Mediablvd Jim Beaver interview

In it he talks about his recent work and a book of painful memoirs. Inspiring.

News: Deadworld Movie one step forward?

Digital Spy report:

David Hayter has signed up to write and produce zombie comic book adaptation Deadworld, says Variety.
The Watchmen and X-Men screenwriter has joined forces with Pandemonium's Bill Mechanic to bring Gary Reed's comic to the big screen. Benedict Carver, who runs Dark Hero Studios with Hayter, is also producing.
Deadworld puts a new spin on the post-apocalypse zombie film, picking up after the undead have taken over the planet and focusing on King Zombie, a motorcycle-riding corpse with a grudge against human survivors.
"It's very much about the design of the Deadworld and creating cool, frightening but not necessarily gory creatures," Hayter said. "I am a huge fan of zombie mythology."

I read Deadworld, back in 1988(?) and still hold First Prints of the original stories. The art was a bit wacky but the story was pretty good, then Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead came along. TWD is the definitive Zombie serial as you Zombie lovers will know. Now, if HBO could produce an hourly serial drama based on that, I'd be in Seventh Heaven. I'll keep an open mind about Deadworld. I doubt it'll be much before 2011 until we see this.

Coming Soon: Doghouse
