Unfaithfulness and evilness. Loft remake news!

Posted by Steven Lewis on

Add this to the Remake Central list!  In 2008, a Belgium thriller entitled Loft has scored a U.S. remake.  Of course, the time between the original and the remake is very Let The Right One In-ish and there was no time really to the let the original film grow.  With that being said, Loft remake has pulled a Ring remake as the original Loft director Erik Van Looy will reprise his directorial role for the remake.  Wait, the reprisal of roles doesn’t stop there as Matthias Schoenaerts joins the cast to reprise his role of Fillip Williams.

This rare occasion when an actor helms the same character in the original and it’s remake is far from heard of, but Matthias will take it on yet again and the question will be will he fine tune his performance or change up the character completely?  Starring beside Matthias will be Wentworth Miller (Resident Evil:  Afterlife), Eric Stonestreet, Patrick Wilson (Hard Candy), James Marsden (X-Men).

Tropical evil never felt so good! Dead Island news!

Posted by Steven Lewis on

Remember that remarkable and emotionally stirring first trailer (see here) for the upcoming Dead Island video game?  The trailer was gut-wrenched full of chaos in where no one was safe.  Techland’s awesome remote island zombie game will turn many heads.  A second trailer has been released and, though not as powerful as the first, still has that taste for the theatric or dramatic, if you will.

After the first trailer released, there wasn’t much time between the trailer and the news floating around about film producers and companies shopping around for the rights to make this bad boy into a full fledged feather-length film.  Though nothing has come about the film yet, the game hasn’t even been released yet as we’re set for an August 1st date.  You can pre-order your Dead Island Xbox 360 or PS3 copies now at Amazon.com!

Evil loves to party rock? LMFAO homages 28 Days Later.

Posted by Steven Lewis on

This was brought to my attention over the weekend.  The electro-pop duo LMFAO released a single back in 2009 called Party Rock.  What does Party Rock have to do with the world of horror?  Nothing.  However, when you make a music video for it and incorporate a homage to a certain horror movie, than suddenly it has everything to do with horror.  Go figure.

The Party Rock music video takes place in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later world; streets laced with overturned cars and people act in strange ways.  Instead of chomping the pieces of flesh of uninfected bodies and spewing blood from ever orifice, these “infected” just like to shuffle every day to the Party Rock.  I know, I know I’m a bit late on seeing this music video, but in my defense, LMFAO wasn’t a top choice in music for me at the time.

See what I’m talking about in the music video after the jump!

The Devil’s Rock is brand spanking new to this blogger, but my friends over at http://www.horroryearbook.com has posted a trailer and a synopsis of the upcoming World War 2 horror flick.  On the eve of the D-Day invasion upon the beaches of Normandy, France, two special op commandos are sent to scoop out and destroy German gun emplacements on the Channel Islands.  What they discover is more terrifying than they could have ever imaged when the Nazi force commanding the gun emplacement are knee deep in the occult.  Their high command has summoned a demon in hopes to use it for Nazi gain; the demon has other plans.
