MOST ANTICIPATED HORRORS:

pa pored L'INTERIEUR, FRONTIERE(S), P2, (REC), INTO THE MIRROR i dr. već pominjanih usual suspectsa, evo nekih noviteta:

pre svega, u sam vrh dospeva (ranije najavljivani, ali tek sad konkretizovani) avatijev film:

IL NASCONDIGLIO (a.k.a. THE HIDEOUT), the new genre film by veteran director Pupi Avati!!!!!!!
The site includes three trailers and two behind-the-scenes clips, photos and more. Laura Morante stars in the movie as a restaurant owner who learns that a murder took place in her establishment 50 years ago, and uncovers scary secrets when she investigates the crime. The cast also includes Rita Tushingham, Treat Williams, Burt Young and Giovanni Lombardo Radice, a.k.a. John Morghen of CANNIBAL FEROX/MAKE THEM DIE SLOWLY and the OMEN remake.

zatim:
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Grindstone Entertainment (the new home entertainment division of Mandate Pictures) has picked up the North American rights to THE SUBSTITUTE, a new Danish chiller from director Ole Bornedal. No relation to the vigilante-teacher film series of the same title, this SUBSTITUTE is about sixth-grade students who discover that their new replacement teacher is actually an evil extraterrestrial and try to convince their parents. Bornedal directed both the original 1995 NIGHTWATCH (a.k.a. NATTEVAGTEN) and its 1998 U.S. remake; you can see SUBSTITUTE's Danish-language official site, with a trailer and more, here. Grindstone, which will team with Ghost House Pictures to release SUBSTITUTE, also has Stateside rights to another horror pic from Denmark's Nordisk Film International Sales, ROOM 205, which just played LA's Screamfest


i najzad (za sada)
davno najavljivani film je sada i potvrđen:
According to The Hollywood Reporter, OLDBOY/LADY VENGEANCE director Park Chan-wook (pictured) will helm an untitled vampire film for Korea's CJ Entertainment next spring. Song (THE HOST) Kang-ho will star as a priest who becomes transformed into a bloodsucker due to a failed medical experiment, and winds up having an affair with a friend's wife. CJ also produced the period murder mystery/torture shocker SHADOWS IN THE PALACE, directed by Kim Mi-jung, which played this year's San Sebastian festival.
istina, posle mlitave LADY i sluzavo-negledljivog CYBORGA ne znam šta da očekujem... možda kad je odmaknut od melodrame čanvuk još uvek može da isporuči nešto vredno čekanja?

Šta su do đavola Frontiere(s), P2 i Into the Mirror?

Zvuči kao generički ghost story.

Šta li je ovde "most anticipated"? Zvuči kao Faculty.

L'INTERIEUR i [REC] su remek-djela, ovo ostalo je čisto da se nešto pogleda.

Samo jos da mu vezu ruke dok snima akcione scene..... :!:

ja ne priznajem kategoriju 'supernatural thriller': ako ima natprirodnog, i ako je to glavni izvor uzbuđenja i napetosti ( i strave?), meni je to dovoljno da ga turim u žanr koji, actually, POSTOJI i sastoji iz elemenata koji se zovu 'thrills' i 'supernatural' – dakle, HOROR.

stoga, neka bude vest ovde, dok me stvarnost (film) eventualno ne demantuje:

Ridley Scott to roll with 'Stones'
Director attached to Fox 2000 thriller
By MICHAEL FLEMING

Fox 2000 has attached Ridley Scott to direct "Stones," a supernatural thriller scripted by Matt Cirulnick. Scott Free will produce.
Project is a big-scale supernatural thriller revolving around the mysterious destruction of ancient religious sites around the world. It turns out that Stonehenge is the tie that binds together artifacts that still have primeval powers.
Cirulnick got the assignment after scripting "Elysium" for New Regency, a film that weaves Greek mythology into a drama. He fixed on the idea that Stonehenge, the great pyramids and other artifacts were built for a specific unified purpose.
Pic will resume development after the Writers Guild of America strike concludes. Scott is busy directing Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe in "Body Of Lies" for Warner Bros., and he is expected to follow by moving with Crowe right into "Nottingham," the Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris-scripted drama for Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment.
"Stones" is Fox 2000's second recent Scott Free deal involving a directing assignment for the sibling helmers. Tony Scott just set up to direct a biopic on the life and death of cigarette boat inventor Don Aronow.

najzad ridli skot posle toliko vremena režira nešto što bih SA NESTRPLJENJEM čekao da pogledam!

:!:

Nisu valjda Toni Skot i Ridli Skot braća?  :?

Pogledao sam P2 Franck Khalfouna, courtesy of Kunac i mogu reći da sada već uspevam da nazrem obrise onoga što će mladi EuropaCorpovi hipsteri doneti Holivudu. Sve ono što se osećalo kao vrlina i kao nedostatak EuropaCorpovih žanrovskih filmova, biva preneto u Holivud u njihovim filmovima i zanimljivo je kako ni holivudske okolnosti nisu uspele da artikulišu i reše neke od njihovih osnovnih problema.

P2 je high concept film. P2 je toliko high concept film da boli. Pojavio se nešto malo posle prvog revivala high concept kamernog trilera u kome su bili naslovi poput RED EYE, COLLATERAL, PHONE BOOTH, CELLULAR i sl. Međutim, generalno fluktuacija high concept projekate je velika i zapravo mnogo više ih je u developmentu nego što na kraju biva realizovano.

High concept kao takav je potpuno legitimna tradicija trilera koja vuče korene od autora kao što su Hitchcock ili Cluzot ili Castle, i ovaj pristup trileru je imao svoje zlatne dane u više navrata. Dakle, ovo nije neka savremena ili pak francuska izmišljotina, ali čini se da jednostavnost i trilerska ekspresivnost high concept filma mogu biti dobar calling card mladim i/ili stranim rediteljima.

Međutim, P2 nije baš najuspeliji high concept, i definitivno nije sam po sebi dobro ostvarenje što ne znači da ne treba da bude calling card za ovog reditelja. Naime, Khalfoun se u ovom filmu pokazao kao solidan igrač zadatka i pokazao je da naprosto ume da realizuje određene stilske žanrovske figure što naravno uvek stoji kao velika nedoumica kad su strani reditelji u pitanju. Doduše, to su pokazali i Siri i Richet pa su ipak vraćeni nazad u Francusku, verovatno obeshrabreni slabim projektima koji su im ponuđeni.

Mislim da ni Khalfoun neće imati znatno drugačiju sudbinu i pitanje je koliko će imati strpljenja da sledećih nekoliko godina radi nešto ovako isto.

P2 je kao koncept odličan ali nažalost scenario koji su napisali Aja, njegov stalni saradnik Gregory Levaseur i sam Khalfoun nije iskoristio potencijal ove priče. Koncept je vrlo jasan. Mlada poslovna žena na Božić biva zatočena u podzemnoj garaži poslovne zgrade i biva prepuštena na milost i nemilost čuvaru psihopati koji je njome opsednut.

Ovaj koncept, ma koliko generičan bio u samoj postavci odnosa manijaka i žrtve, nudio je nekoliko jako dobrih linija konflikta. Naravno primarni konflikt je manijak-žrtva, izopačenost-normalnost, zatim muškarac-žena, birokratija-radnici, gornji spratovi-podrum, klasni konflikti po nekoliko linija, tehnologija-biološki opstanak, i sve bi naravno trebalo da kulminira dosezanjem civilizacijske nulte tačke u tom prostoru.

Međutim, mi prvo nikada ne saznamo koja su svojstva glavne junakinje. Ona je očigledno vrlo zauzeta i radi do kasno. Međutim, mi ne znamo da li je to zato što je ona jako vredna i uspešna ili je to zato što je glupa i sporija od drugih, ili je to zato što je pokvarena i radi nešto kolegama iza leđa. Ne, mi samo znamo da ona ostaje do kasno i da ju je startovao kolega na poslu, koji joj se zbog izvinjava i ona nema neki naročit drušveni život i ide na porodično božićno slavlje. Međitim, mi ne vidimo nijedna razlog za te postavljene okolnosti i samim tim nemamo odnos ni prema tome ko je ona, niti želimo da joj se želje ispune niti bilo šta. Ona je kliše zauzete poslovne žene, i čak bi i to na nekom banalnom nivou bilo u redu da film ima ikakav stav prema tome.

Manijak s druge strane je jedna teatralna budala. Međutim, u stanju ove totalne ambivalencije prema glavnoj junakinji taj lik je mogao preuzeti prevagu. Taj lik je mogaobiti neko u čije se ludilo može projektovati neki sadržaj naročito jer atakuje na osobu bez svojstava. Da su autori iole branili taj lik, na bilo koji način, imajući u vidu slabost glavnog lika, manijak je mogao postati moralni centar filma. Junakinja je toliko objektifikovana i toliko bez svojstava da je manijak mgoao biti pozitivac. Ali, ne, njegovo ponašanje je toliko teatralno i toliko klišetizirano da nema nikakvog utemeljenja, i mi pokušavamo da pratimo sukob između dva nepostojeća lika pa je samim tim i sukob nepostojeći.

Kao što znate, ja svakako nisam neko ko naročito insistira na likovima, međutim, u ovakon svedenoj strukturi, likovi su ipak potrebni, naročito pošto Khalfoun insistira na character-driven scenama.

E sad tu dolazimo do još jednog krajnje bizarnog nedostatka a to je da ovde gledamo character-driven piece koji su pisala trojica ljudi koji nisu English-speakeri i nisu Amerikanci, tako da likovi naročito zbog toga deluju jako šuplje i imaju beskrajne dijaloške scene u kojima se ponavljaju replike, odnosi stagniraju, nema nikakvih promena, itd. Dakle, film pati od jedne potpune statičnosti kad je reč o odnosima likova. Nisu ni pokušali da aprave neku psihološku igru ili neki preokret u odnosima, ne samo unutar scena što je jako bito za ovakve priče, nego ni na globalnom nivou filma, gde je uvek bitno, to je tako oveštala fraza da dođe do promena u likovima.

E sad, ono što je ključno pitanje jeste kakvo je rokanje. Hm, ima recimo jedna i po dobra scena, a to je zarobljavanje junakinje u liftu. Kad je reč o aspektu fizičke akcije, film je krajnje predvidljiv. naravno, predvidljivost kao takva je vrlo često iznuđena, naročito kada se operiše na lokaciji koju svi znamo i sa napravama kojima svi raspolažemo. To bi naravno trebalo da pruži filma novi sloj suspensea, ali isto tako ga neumitno tera i u predvidljivost. Moram priznati da me u recentnoj žanrovskoj produkciji mnogo više impresioniraju reditelji koji uspevaju da prevaziđu predvidljivost nego oni koji su originalni, pošto je upravo prevazilaženje konvencije unutar konvencije možda najveće majstorstvo u žanru.

Reditelj koga je recimo poštujem zbog toga je Rob Schmidt. On ima dar da tačno proceni koja od neizbežnih scena, nije mesto za akcenat i preko koje treba preći što brže i efikasnije, i to je pokazao i u WRONG TURNu i u svojoj MoH epizodi. Khalfoun nema tu sposbnost i gomilu prdvidljivih scena (uključujući i moj favorit "slučaj Martina Balsama" tretira smrtno ozbiljno i pretenciozno i pokušava da nas uplaši. A akcentovanje takvih scena daje filmu naroćitu redundantnost i baš iritira gledaoca. Siguran sam da uživanje u filmu može biti nekih 20% veće nekome ko ne gleda previše žanrovskog filma, ali mislim da većina publike ima otpor prema ovakvim situacijama.

Na sve to, iako P2 ima neku vrstu prestiža i neku auru koju emituje sam film kroz prilično glamuroznu fotografiju (na svu sreću glamur nije opteretio broj kadrova tako da je film lepo raskadriran), zaista se lako srozava na nivo tipičnog studijskog take the money and run programmera.

Ono što je svakako za pohvalu su hard-R momenti, međutim oni nisu dovoljno ekstremni, duhoviti i raigrani (kao u npor. FINAL DESTINATION 2) da bi bili kvalitet sami po sebi niti posebno mariš za ljude kojima bivaju naneti.

Staljinistički rečeno, P2 nosi sve simptome EuropaCorpovih produkcija s tim što naravno ovog puta nema egzotike da ga odbrani pošto ne stoji na braniku odbrane od američke repertoarske hegemonije već joj služi.

Ipak, ja i dalje ostajem sucker za ovaj milje i tu produkciju i sa nestrpljenjem, dodatno pojačanim Trippovim hypeom čekam da u slast poalpćem xavier gensovog HITMANa. BTW, jel neko gledao taj Gensov horor oko kog postoji ogroman hype?

Bruce La Bruce, veteran gay-weirdo filma, snimio zombi 'horor' koji igra na sandensu:

Otto; or, Up With Dead People, which is a unique looking zombie movie that blends political themes and gore on a small budget.

Sam Raimi returns to horror! DRAG ME TO HELL his next flick!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Sam Raimi has exec. produced many horror flicks under his GHOST HOUSE banner, but for the first time since he started that company up he's actually directing one called DRAG ME TO HELL, a supernatural horror flick he co-wrote with his brother, Ivan.

What's interesting is that this isn't a new project. They wrote it right after ARMY OF DARKNESS. At that point it was called THE CURSE. No real details have come out, but the trades have a blurb about it being about "an unwilling recipient of a supernatural curse."

So, totally good news... But I must say, one bit in the Variety story has me a little worried. There's a quote from long-time Raimi collaborator, Rob Tapert, who will produce this flick that goes like this: "Sam calls it a 'spook-a-blast,' a wild ride with all the chills and spills that 'Evil Dead' delivered, without relying on the excessive violence of that film."

I'm all for creatively shooting around gore and upping suspense and atmosphere, but when I hear Ghost House and a desire to stay away from excessive violence... well, I get worried we're being prepared for a tame Sam Raimi horror flick. SPIDER-MAN's Sam Raimi, not EVIL DEAD's Sam Raimi. Maybe we'll meet in the middle and get something like THE GIFT, which is pretty damn good... Or maybe I have nothing to worry about and we'll see Raimi's return to low-budget horror late next year and dance in the streets when it's as awesome as we all want it to be. Now he just has to get Bruce in there... Thoughts?

this story of a detective (Willem Dafoe) embroiled in a serial-killer case with echoes of one he investigated in the past gave Marino plenty of work; this particular murderer arranges his victims' corpses to resemble classic works of art.

"I don't want to give away much," Marino tells Fango, "but I designed all the corpses for the film, and they are some of the most interesting ones done yet. The complicated positions were very difficult to achieve. One of the bodies is cut into 15 pieces and is arranged in silhouette as the vulture who eats the liver of Prometheus. Another mimics Michelangelo's dead Christ from his Piéta sculpture. Another is hanging completely upside down and bound with leather straps, with its stomach completely stitched up, autopsy-style."

The cast also includes Scott (UNDERWORLD) Speedman, Clea (THE GRUDGE) DuVall and Peter (CONSTANTINE) Stormare; Henry Miller directed from a script he wrote with Tom Phelan. ANAMORPH has already played a couple of festivals and is seeking U.S. distribution.

Michele Soavi returns to horror!

Fourteen years after making one of Italy's finest horror fantasies, DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE/CEMETERY MAN, director Michele Soavi is finally back in the genre saddle. After spending the last decade helming high-profile Italian TV fare (like the ULTIMO thriller franchise starring Raoul Bova), the former actor (THE GATES OF HELL, CALIGULA: THE UNTOLD STORY) and one-time assistant to Dario Argento (for whom he directed THE CHURCH and THE SECT/THE DEVIL'S DAUGHTER) will be in London and Romania this summer shooting CATACOMBS CLUB.
The screenplay is by Charles McKeown, the co-scripter of Terry Gilliam's THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MUNCHAUSEN who is currently in production on THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS. Soavi and McKeown became firm friends when the former headed up the 2nd unit on the troubled BARON MUNCHAUSEN. CARACOMBS CLUB relates the strange tale of a rich Russian married couple building a casino-cum-disco in London's West End. The wife wants to be a headline singer in the club; only problem is, she's completely tone-deaf and can't carry a tune, so her husband hires a singing teacher to help her fulfil her dream ambition. As construction begins on the site, a drunken accident finds the instructor falling into a recently uncovered passageway that leads to a kingdom of strange creatures. They've gone undiscovered since their burial during the Roman invasion 2,000 years before, and the teacher is shocked to learn they know nothing of the surface world. He's even more surprised when he falls in love with She, a female creatures with the most beautiful voice he has ever heard...
"It begins with a flashback to ancient times, like the one in THE CHURCH," Soavi tells Fango. "And it ends during a concert in the Royal Albert Hall venue. I don't want to say too much more at this time, except that it is definitely in the spirit of CEMETERY MAN and has a similar atmosphere." Casting will be firmed up in the coming months, but Soavi's partner Alina Nadelea, featured in his last theatrical outing ARRIVERDERCI, AMORE, CIAO/THE GOODBYE KISS, will play one of the female leads. One of the producers is former giallo actress Conchita Airoldi (TORSO, BLADE OF THE RIPPER) who has a long association with Soavi. The songs will have "a Kate Bush feel," according to Soavi, who adds, "I've enjoyed working in Italian TV where budgets are around the 9-million-Euro mark. I hated all the compromises I had to make on my previous horror films—going back to my first, STAGE FRIGHT—but I have the budget to do CATACOMBS CLUB justice."
Although a sequel to CEMETERY MAN was mooted a few years ago, writer/producer Gianni Romoli's huge success producing the popular films of director Ferzan Ozpetek (THE IGNORANT FAIRIES, FACING WINDOW) somewhat sidelined that idea. But Soavi would do it if Romoli came up with another original and creative premise. "I have talked to star Rupert Everett about reprising his role, and I'd love to continue his adventures. But it's up to Gianni to find the time in his busy schedule."

Robert Englund to direct 'Vij'
Christopher Lee to star

ROME — U.S. actor/director Robert Englund, best known as Freddie Kruger in the "A Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise, will direct "The Vij," a dark gothic fantasy in which Christopher Lee is attached to star.

Based on an eponymous novel by Russian writer Nikolaj Gogol, "The Vij" revolves around an evil genie who conditions the actions of a young priest, leading him to commit murder and fall in love with an old witch who is actually not what she seems.

Italo producer Loris Curci is producing "The Vij" for Rome-based horror shingle ReDark in association with Canada's Remstar and Spain's Canonigo Films. Shooting is scheduled to start in April in the Lazio region with assistance and incentives from the Rome/Lazio Film Commission. The uninhabited medieval village of Civita di Bagnoregio will be a prime location for "The Vij."

Besides Christopher Lee, who will play a God-like character called The Father, "The Vij" will star Englund and Rome-based Russian actress Olga Schuvalova as Alina, the female lead. Casting for other roles, including the wayward priest called Khoma, is still underway.

Englund previously directed the features "976 Evil," released by New Line, and "Killer Pad."

Quote from: "Alexdelarge"Robert Englund to direct 'Vij'
Christopher Lee to star

ovo je zapravo loša vest.

GENIJALNI reditelj ričard stenli (hardware, dust devil) je hteo da radi adaptaciju VIJA koja se dešava u bosni ili na kosovu (jedno vreme sam aktivno lobirao kod producenata i samog stenlija da to snima u srbiji!).
sada kada se toga laća r. england (976 evil!) – u verziji koja će verovatno biti fangorijski banalna i detinjasta monster crap varijanta – manja je šansa da VELIKI reditelj uradi PAMETNU i modernu adaptaciju te priče...

Čekaj, Englund??? Fredi Kruger, yes??? Jebote, šta je Gogolj doživeo (u smrti), da ga posle Kadijevića režira Fredi....

Nije tu toliko jezivo što je u pitanju Fredi, koliko fakat da je taj čovjek režirao 976 Evil, film u najmanju ruku upitnog kvaliteta. Doduše, možda angažuje Stivena Džefrisa da glumi babu.

kako odoleti nečemu što se zove BIO-SLIME, a pored ljigavih monstruma ima još i gole žene?!
nikako!

LILIT, REAGUJ!

Variety confirmed our breaking news that Jonathan Rhys Meyers is looking for Shelter opposite Julianne Moore in a supernatural horror thriller being produced by Nala Films. "Shelter," based on a script by Michael Cooney ("Identity"), will be directed by the Swedish duo Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein ("Storm"). Lensing starts in late March in Pittsburgh. While they're trying to keep the project top secret, we discovered that the film follows a female forensic psychiatrist who specializes in debunking multiple personality disorder. When she discovers that her latest patient's various personalities are all murder victims, she struggles to find a logical explanation for the man's delusion.

Both Twitch Film and Bloody-Disgusting agree that the Swedish vampire film, Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in), is probably going to be one of the best foreign horror films of 2008. Today we learned that JJ Abrams' company, Bad Robot, is making a play at the remake rights. Although the company behind Coverfield has yet to gain the rights, it looks like this is a possible home for the US version of the film. Magnet Releasing has acquired domestic home video rights for the pic playing this year's Tribeca Film Festival, watch for a review in the coming weeks. In the film, Oscar, an overlooked and bullied boy, finds love and revenge through Eli, a beautiful but peculiar girl who turns out to be a vampire

Meni ne. Ovo djeluje kao jedan od onih filmova koji su interesantni prvih pola sata ili petnaestak minuta, a onda treba ugasiti TV jer kreću sa racionalnim objašnjavanjem onoga za šta smo mislili da su supernaturalni fenomeni.

Ovo izgleda dobro!

ANAMORPH

na žalost, od svega ovoga ispade samo još jedan bedasti SE7EN wannabe: letargično režiran, bez trunke saspensa, sa neupečatljivim i klišetizirano postavljenim gl. junakom (gonjen krivicom iz prošlosti! mogao da spase jednu žrtvu, a nije! kuku i lele! flešbeci overload! o, zašto je morala da umre?! o sudbo kleta! itd.) pri čemu ne pomaže što ga igra w. dafoe kome ipak bolje leže negativci (xist included!) – a od negativca on ovde jedino ima istog frizera kao a. chiurgh!
sve se svodi na taj gimmick sa vizuelnim igrarijama sa leševima i delovima tela, ali čak i to lepše zvuči no što u praxi izgleda, i one 2 slike okačene na 1. strani topika su maltene jedine vredne truda u celom filmu!
dakle, saspens=ništa, likovi=ništa (čak i p. stormer je loš! debi hari ima kameo od 4 sekunde tokom kojih proviri na vrata i slegne ramenima! klea duval –militantno antipatična spodoba za koju zaista ne znam zašto je iko angažuje!- igra 'lik' za koji nije uopšte jasno u kakvom je srodstvu/odnosu s gl. junakom...), originalnost=ništa, strava=ništa, groza=skoro ništa...
a ako očekujete neko zabavno objašnjenje glede motivacije ubice da sebi komplikuje život najkomplexnijim inscenacijama mesta zločina u istoriji loših SEVEN rip-offova – ostavite nadu na ulazu. za razliku od 7, ovaj ovde je nekakav statista iz pozadine koji niti je 1 od likova filma (whodunit), niti je kao john doe baja koji kad se razotkrije počne da filozofira i svemu daje novi smisao, niti je jebem li ga šta – nego potpuni anonimus za koga do kraja ne saznamo zašto je radio to što je radio, i zašto baš tako, i zašto se ostrvio na dafoa (sem zbog nj. loše frizure?) – NIŠTA!
film se okončava bez poente, jednom kičastom vizuelnom parafrazom frensisa bejkona koja nema ama baš nikakvu idejnu poentu ili smisao, ali 'lepo' izgleda!
mrzi me da ulazim u sve rupe i promašaje ovde (uključujući i to da se ubičino sklonište zna od polovine filma, a on ipak operiše u njemu sve do kraja!) – ovo je zaista katastrofa na skoro svakom zamislivom nivou!

Pojavio se screener za The Ruins...  8)   :!:

Ne verujem da ce te THE RUINS znatno usreciti.
Nije bas los horor (gvirnuo bih u knjigu), ali boluje od nasapunjanih americkih glumaca, i to mladih; Atmosfera nije losa, premda ne nudi stravu, vec samo pobudjuje interesovanje i time ga donekle izneveruje. Ja sam gledao solidnu kameru i time ostao uskracen za valjanu procenu uslikanosti majanske rusevine. Ne znacajno eksplicitan, prosecno reziran i dovoljno zabavan da ne bude dosadan, odlikuje ga najpre glup, a zatim sablonski kraj.

Quote from: "Ghoul"Both Twitch Film and Bloody-Disgusting agree that the Swedish vampire film, Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in), is probably going to be one of the best foreign horror films of 2008.

Here it is: http://www.brightcove.tv/title.jsp?title=1607337881&channel=1155595187

Još pre nekog vremena sam zahvaljujući Gingeru došao u posed filma PATHOLOGY čiji je calling card bio u tome što su mu producenti Neveldine i Taylor koji su radili CRANK. Tada sam ga odmah i gledao ali mi je trebalo vremena da se uopšte setim da sam ga gledao ne bih li ovde ostavio utiske.

Neveldine i Taylor su uradili CRANK kao jednu agresivnu hip reinterpretaciju akcijaša oslonjenog na dominantnu zvezdu. U tom konkretnom slučaju, zvezda je bio Jason Statham, glumac koji iako je večito na pragu prve lige ima odličan personality, može da iznese film i da ga dosta unapredi. U CRANKu su i autori i Statham imali sreće. On je njima omogućio da ovaj odlični film inicijalno ima dobro otvaranje i stigne do gledalaca a oni su njemu pružili inovativan projekat po kome se prepoznaju sve velike akcione zvezde.

U svom sledećem projektu Neveldine & Taylor su poslužili kao producenti i scenaristi. Ovog puta su se odmakli od akcije i pokušali da daju svije viđenje savremenog hip trilera. Možda su čak pomislili da bi PATHOLOGY možda čak mogao biti i horor. Ipak, bez zvezde, ispostavilo se da su triler i horor scenaristički zahtevniji žanrovi od star-driven high concept akcijaša.

I sam PATHOLOGY ima high concept. Reč je o infantilnmoj priči o grupi infantilnih mladih patologa koji u slobodno vreme ubijaju ljude i onda među sobom igraju kviz ko je kako ubio svoju žrtvu. Kad kažem infantilni, to nije u pežorativnom smislu već kroz tu kvalifikaciju naprosto pokušavam da definišem pristup karakterima koji su prikazani kao banalni MTV modeli sa naivnim težnjama, neutemeljenim tinejdžerskim elitizmom i odusustvom duhovnog sadržaja koji im omogućuje da budu ubice i kreteni.

Čak ni ovo što sam gore konstatovao nije negativna kvalifikacija sama po sebi. Međutim, kada imaš takve karaktere, onda mora da postoji priča koja će njihovo ponašanje učiniti zanimljivim. Ali, tu priču Neveldine i Taylor nisu izmislili. Kada se postavi bazična premisa, priča ulazi u ciklus ponavljanja u kome se jukstapozicioniraju seks i obdukcija, sve do momenta kada film ne počne da se završava, kojom prilikom se rasplete na najpredvidljiviji način.

Sa ovako praznim likovima, priča ne bi smela da bude prazna a jeste. Nezanimljivi likovi se u ovom konkretnom filmu nalaze u priči prepunoj opštih mesta, preopterećenoj stavom scenarista i reditelja koji su ubeđeni da nude nešto mnogo provokativno i mračno, iako je njihov film zapravo nešto najkonvencionalnije i najmanje hrabro.

Naime, moralni mehanizam razvoja priče se odvija na gotovo samoparodičnom nivou, gde se mračni hipness autora spontano sagoreva u potpuni moralni idiotizam. Naravno, niko ne gleda ovaj film zbog morala, koga briga za to, ali stvar je žanrovski postavljena kao morality play, i na tom nivou ne pije vodu.

Kad je reč o žanrovskoj postavci, reč je o izrazito nestručno postavljenom komadu. Naime, prvo reč je o trileru u kome nema napetosti pošto se dešava u obdukcionoj sali, dakle kada su karte podeljene. Moguće je da je likovima zanimljivo to što oni rade i način na koji otkrivaju uzrok smrti, ali nama nije, pošto mi niti imamo medicinsko obrazovanje, niti su nam leševi dati na uvid.

Zatim, film je dat iz vizure lekara ubica koja je gledaocu koji nije lekar ubica krajnje nezanimljiva. Bolnički horor ima mnogo više uspeha ako je dat iz vizure pacijenta ili barem lekara koji nije i ubica. Međutim, glavni junak ovog filma je u samom srcu tame. Njemu čak ni drugari, drugi specijalizanti ubice, ne rade o glavi pa da barem to generiše neki suspense.

Stoga, PATHOLOGY jedva da može da se gleda jer nema ni karaktere, ni priču, ni suspense. Jedino što ima je aura nekakvog hip horora koja tom pravcu samo šteti.

Dorothy
Lisa Nesselson in Paris
16 Jul 2008 10:56

 


Dir. Agnes Merlet. 2008. France. 102 min.

An isolated Irish island whose wary residents don't like outsiders - or any developments in interior decorating since 1920 or so - is the creepy setting for supernatural thriller Dorothy, Agnes Merlet's first film in 11 years. Placing a female psychiatrist from the mainland in a close-knit, religion-addled community of the sinister, this well-cast and evocatively-filmed English-language production gamely toys with genre structures, but, despite the strong craft on display, remains tantalizing without ever being truly satisfying.


One thing is a standout, however - stage-trained newcomer Jenn Murray. Her tour de force performance as Dorothy – a lass who may have psychic powers - is nearly as impressive as Edward Norton's memorable turn in Primal Fear. Box office returns on this Wicker Man throwback should be acceptable, as it's the sort of film where most audiences are content to go along for the ride.

In order to make a professional evaluation of Dorothy, psychiatrist and textbook city slicker Dr Jane Morton (Van Houten) takes a ferry to the island village where the 15-year-old girl has been accused of having violently molested an infant while baby-sitting.

Jane drives her BMW off the boat only to be forced off the country road and into a lake by a car containing three punky teenagers, two boys and a girl. Jane, who barely escapes drowning, is told that nobody on the island fits the description of her assailants.

Dorothy is a fragile-looking youngster whose blonde hair is so pale the next step would be white who has been raised by her devoted aunt (Ryan) since her mother died. Dorothy says she was nowhere near the baby and that nobody listens to her. Meanwhile, Jane meets fire and brimstone clergyman Ross (Lewis), who also doubles up as the windswept village's schoolteacher and doctor. The woolly sheep in his jurisdiction end up slaughtered by mysterious forces and his human flock isn't faring much better.

The ferry only serves the mainland once or twice a week and it's nearly impossible to get any sort of telephone service. The villagers, including the youngish sheriff Colin (Wilmot) keep suggesting that Jane leave immediately for her own good. But the more she learns about the

facets of Dorothy's personality, the more she digs in her clinical heels. Of course, her judgment may be affected by the fact that she's sleeping poorly at the local inn because of the cacophonous electric guitar music that materializes from nowhere each night.

Dutch actress Van Houten - Black Book's siren in her first of several upcoming roles in English - convinces as a compassionate shrink with at least one small skeleton in her own closet. But "Colin, some evil shit is going on" is not the sort of dialogue any actor, however skilled, should have to deliver.

Few films have topped the original The Wicker Man in the stonewalling-an-outsider genre and while Dorothy achieves a sustained air of sinister collusion, not everyone will find the double denouement worth waiting for. (UK viewers as well will be reminded of TV sitcom Father Ted and its Craggy Island setting).

In France, where this opens August 6, Merlet will get points for attempting an intricate story revolving around a medical condition that is a staple of Ango-American films but doesn't officially exist in French medical nomenclature. And Merlet does get in some good digs at the dangers of organised religion when it's too "organised."
DP Yorgos Arvanitis' widescreen filming of locations in Wicklow, to the south of Dublin and in Donegal, is a plus.

28 MONTHS LATER

Drago mi je što nastavljaju serijal, a čak mi se sviđa i izbor reditelja, samo se nadam da će i treći deo biti solidno budžetiran i da će dobaciti do bioskopa, pošto bi zaista bilo greota da film završi direkt na DVD-u.

I dalje navijam da se neko seti Pekićevog "Besnila" i da ga iskoristi kao predložak za 28 Years Later recimo...

Last week Arrow in the Head reported that Paul Andrew Williams, director of Sony Home Entertainment's THE COTTAGE, would be taking the helm for 28 Months Later, the third film in the 28 DAY LATER franchise created by Danny Boyle. This morning the story was shot down by Twitch Film who reports that "any rumor of Paul Andrew Williams' involvement in 28 Months Later is 'totally untrue'. "

se prang ,martyrs

dok čekamo martire:

It's nice to see that MARTYRS director Pascal Laugier is taking his talent out of the Weinstein bros. handvs. After watching the INSIDE directors struggle to get a project off the ground, Laugier is putting his trust in Paramount Vantage where he will get behind the camera and direct Details. He is still attached to Dimension's remake of HELLRIASER, but we expect that project to linger around for quite some time. You can read the details beyond the break.

French helmer Pascal Laugier ("Martyrs") will direct Paramount Vantage horror thriller "Details" from his own script for Blumhouse Prods.

Jason Blum and Steven Schneider of Blumhouse will produce with Ian Levy.

"Details," based on a short story by China Mieville, centers on a daughter who disappears after awakening supernatural forces that inhabit the random patterns of everyday objects. Dan Kay wrote the original adaptation.

Laugier is also attached to write and direct a remake of Clive Barker's "Hellraiser" for Dimension.


"Details" appears in several collections including Mammoth Book Of Horror - 2003, Children Of Cthulhu - Tales inspired by HPL

EEE, OVO IMAM, DAKLE, KRAJNJE JE VREME DA PROČITAM BAR TU PRIČU!

pročito sam mjevilovu priču.

ima tu potencijala za fucked-up creepiness, ali pričica je kratka i jedva dovoljna za polučasovnu epizodicu nečega; sve zavisi kako je to i čime prošireno na dugometražni film.

ipak, na neviđeni MARTYRS i na neviđeni scenario, ovo ima ozbiljnih potencijala...

dobar je TIMECRIMES, i treba paziti na tog nača šta će naredno da radi, ali ipak nisam impresioniran koliko sam očekivao.
lepa, fina ali ne preterano jaka trojka – svakako ispod eden lake.
razradiću ove misli kad stignem, na uobičajenom mestu.

Dok čekamo MARTYRS, evo jednog zanimljivog i prilično opširnog intervuja sa rediteljem Pascalom Laugierom. U jednom trenutku počinju spojleri za MARTYRS, pred kraj intervjua, pa sam to posebno označio...

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/39602

Northlander interviews MARTYRS' Pascal Laugier - and he spills about his HELLRAISER remake!!

Hey guys, The Northlander here again with an exclusive interview I was lucky enough to get with Pascal Laugier, director of the horror film MARTYRS.

I saw this film at the Stockholm Film Festival – see my review here: Click Here

After the film, there was a short Q & A with the audience and after that I got to sit down with him for 40 minutes and chat about the film, horror in general, cultural revolutions, his upcoming HELLRAISER remake and a lot of really interesting stuff. This was done some time after midnight, maybe around 1am or something and he had a flight to catch early in the morning back to France so the fact that he wanted to stay after the screening to do this I think was really cool.

For those of you who have read my review of this, you know I loved MARTYRS from the first viewing. It was a horror film I just connected with right away and I think Pascal is on the right track when it comes to making horror films right now so it's gonna be really interesting to see what he cooks up for us with HELLRAISER.

So, here's the interview.

The Northlander: Now, a lot of these questions are written during the screening, so...

Pascal Laugier: Don't worry. You can improvise.

The Northlander: ...they come in strange order sometimes. We're just gonna skip from topic to topic. Let's start by talking about the European horror wave.

Pascal Laugier: The actual one?

The Northlander: Yeah because there are a lot of European horror movies that's been coming out these past few years and I think there are more coming...

Pascal Laugier: Yes, Spain, France, England... Yeah.

The Northlander: Yeah and a few now from Sweden too.

Pascal Laugier: Yes, absolutely, and a great one. I loved LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.

The Northlander: Really? It's funny you should say that though because I talked to John Ajvide Lindqvist, the novelist... I don't know if you read the novel?

Pascal Laugier: No, no, but I was told [about it]

The Northlander: You should read the novel.

Pascal Laugier: Yeah, yeah.

The Northlander: He wrote the novel, but he also wrote the screenplay. And [It's funny] because I also did an interview with him a couple of months ago and I also asked him about the European horror wave, so he said... I don't remember his exact words, but he said "Oh yeah, I saw this movie called MARTYRS..." (laughs)

Pascal Laugier: He saw it in London, yeah.

The Northlander: So did you meet him?

Pascal Laugier: No, but we were screened very close.

The Northlander: Yeah he saw it, he was deeply affected by it, and he told me 'Yeah it's a great film, don't see it.'

Pascal Laugier: Yeah?

The Northlander: Yeah, and I agree that there are just so many interesting things going on, behind the [surface of MARTYRS]. Do you think it's hard for people to 'get' the movie? Or do they just see the torture and the violence?

Pascal Laugier: No! So far, I mean the only thing I can say is what I saw. Like the audience, I will need some time to digest the whole experience of the film including showing it to the audience. We'll see in a few years, you know? How things turn... What I think, and what I've seen, is that people need some time to exactly understand their own relationship to the film. It's not a likeable movie. Even me, myself, I hate the film. You know? But I hope, I mean, it's an affecting film and when you are affected you don't know if it's good or not. If it's positive or not. So, some people are so open minded and are looking for the exactly same things that I do, when I go to see horror films or genre films, it's the Film Experience, to get an experience, you know?

The Northlander: Yeah.

Pascal Laugier: And so people would like to be experienced. [Some] they love it instantly, and other ones they hate it and will forever hate it and I respect that, and I think for the majority that don't exactly know what they feel, they felt a lot by watching it but they but they don't quite understand the nature of the feeling. And I've received a lot of testimonies of people who told me after two or three days 'I really had a strong connection to the film'.

The Northlander: Yeah, yeah I've heard so too because... I haven't seen the film before, but I've heard a lot about it, after screenings and stuff and so yeah I can see that people are clearly affected by it.

Pascal Laugier: And the reactions on the internet are amazing, you know. Some people who saw the film a few days or even a few weeks ago and [they] wait before writing about it.

The Northlander: Yeah and there are so many things going on there about how evil [actions] are spread, and you know bad things happen to you and then you...

Pascal Laugier: Yes. Yes.

The Northlander: ...do bad things to other people.

Pascal Laugier: And it's a matter of crossing the line. Every time a film crosses the line, and I perfectly know when and where a film crosses some lines, including mine, because it was for me it was a kind of experimentation. Artistic experimentation. When you cross the line, when you break the rules, when you go too far - what happens next? What kind of art/emotions can it create? So instead of question, and I hope, in the case of MARTYRS, it's like kind of a relief because the whole thing is about Transcendence, about What We Do From The Pain. So I really had need [for] the audience to feel the pain for her [Anna, the main character] to get maybe [to reach] another state, another level. You know?

The Northlander: Yeah, I know exactly. Do you think that's something that's missing too often from horror movies, that they're just too tame, [that] they don't affect you?

Pascal Laugier: Well yeah once again as a fan you know, I watch more or less everything - theatrically released films and direct-to-DVD stuff, and I haven't been challenged by a horror film for a long time, you know? It doesn't mean that there aren't good films, I see a lot of good films, but I'm talking more about the very, very low budget you know? And I'm talking more about the direct to DVD community. Because these films are shot more and more on DV for a VERY very low budget so the guy who does the film is totally free because he deals with such a low amount of money he could do what he wants and nine films out of ten are pale copies of the classics. Another fun, you know - supposedly funny - horror zombie horror trick, another TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, another slasher with a masked killer, and nobody believes in it anymore you know? It's like a ghetto, it's like belonging to a community that is absolutely unable to surprise itself, you know what I mean?

The Northlander: Yeah.

Pascal Laugier: So we pay to watch films that we already know in advance what it's gonna be and we are not challenged anymore and I think the very reason for the horror film genre's existence is to break some rules - to be free, to be wild, you know like the 70's. In the 70's you paid for a ticket and you sat in a theater and you didn't have ANY kind of idea of the film you were going to see. It was really energetic and really experimental. Can you imagine the guys in '75 who first saw TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE? In the markets, at midnight? Or THE EXORCIST? It's impossible to realize now what these people must have felt before the films turned into classics, you know? So... and that's the kind of feeling I very rarely feel by watching horror films. And it's very sad, in a certain way actually, a lot of actual horror films are absolutely as safe as any family film produced by Hollywood. You know? There is no chance, no breakings.

The Northlander: Do you think it's also difficult for people to make horror films because they don't know sort of where the line is drawn or how to cross it, or they won't allow themselves to?

Pascal Laugier: No, I think it's more [got] something to do with the post-modernism of our time. I am talking about the entire time we are living in right now I would say for one or two decades. The problem is that we have lost something [of] our faith, [our] primitive innocence. Everything in the world has become so self conscious, and it goes with politics, ideology, you know? the lost of illusions. Now, to be cool, is to be cynical. You can't be surprised because you're [a] cool guy. And everybody is always the same, you know it's the 'cool attitude' and cynicism that kills everything because it's the opposite of the faith we need to be told some stories, you know? We have lost the faith in narrators, to the people who [told us] what the world is, to make us believe in other worlds, to [tell us] stories. Now it's the opposite - it's the post-modern world we are living in, and we are very aware of everything. And I hate that. As... I hate that as a director. And I hate that as a member of the audience. Any time I feel like the director wants to be clever, wants to tell me very precisely that he is more intelligent than the film he is doing, you know by pretending being funny, being... I hate that. For me, it's a betrayal. I want to be like a child and I need some primitive feelings facing a work of art. You know, when you're in a museum, watching a painting or listening to music you know?
`
The Northlander: Do you think that's also why horror movies are going more and more meta?

Pascal Laugier: More and more what?

The Northlander: Like they're the film within the film like...

Pascal Laugier: Absolutely...

The Northlander: ...THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, REC, CLOVERFIELD.

Pascal Laugier: ...[they're] self-referential. Very aware of where they come from and who they are made for. You know like, you... how do you say that? You do a blink...

The Northlander: "Nudge-nudge, wink-wink"

Pascal Laugier: Absolutely, "I love the same films that you do, guys. We all know where it comes from, isn't it fun?" Some people find it fun, [but] I don't. I know it makes me sound like an asshole - very arrogant, very pretentious - but who cares? I don't. I pay... I go to see movies to be amazed. I go to see movies to believe in what I see. So that's why I love for example M. Night Shyamalan. He's brave enough to take some risks to make the audience believe something amazing. You know? Sometimes he succeeds, sometimes he miss the points but I will always feel more respect for him than for A LOT of cynical directors.

The Northlander: You've mostly done - well you've done this [and] this is horror, have you ever done any comedies or anything?

Pascal Laugier: Me? No, no, no. I've done two feature films. One is a ghost story in a house, called SAINT ANGE - HOUSE OF VOICES - and previously I've just had done my shorts, you know? I've just done two films. MARTYRS is my second one.

The Northlander: Ok, ok. Because this is something I like asking people; they say that comedies are like the hardest thing to write. Do you think it's harder than a horror [film]?

Pascal Laugier: Much, much harder. You'd have to be a genius to do a comedy and that's why there aren't so many good comedies because there aren't so many geniuses around here, you know? Billy Wilder is dead for a long time and Blake Edwards is gonna die very soon - no I would never dare try to do a comedy because I'm not gifted enough really. Honestly, it's too hard.

The Northlander: The reason also I'm asking is, a couple of years ago when Oliver Stone was here at the film festival and gave a Face To Face [the festival's name for their Q&A sessions], he said something that his two first movies were horror movies...

Pascal Laugier: Yeah, THE HAND, and SEIZURE.

The Northlander: ...and he said that he hated them, and he doesn't have it in him to make horror because to make a horror movie you need to have it in you to "drive a nail through the forehead of the audience".

Pascal Laugier: Maybe he's right, but it's a fact that his two first horror films are really bad and maybe the rest of it is not so good too, but that's a personal comment on Oliver Stone. But yeah he's right, I mean if he's not done to make horror films he should do something else. No problem there. But, the advantage of his generation is - and he belongs to the same generation as John Carpenter and all these guys you know that started to make films in the 70's. They have a big advantage on us that they were living in a more innocent time and even then they weren't all that self conscious. John Carpenter didn't make films saying 'I'm belonging to the subculture of horror nerd fans and I'm gonna give them what they want' - no, he was doing his stuff. He was telling the story, it felt interesting for the audience, you know it was just in the manner of a craftsman. That's what I have to do and [if] I do it properly with elegance and as professional as I can - everything wasn't a joke as it is today.

The Northlander: So how do we get out of that? How do we...

Pascal Laugier: I don't know. Maybe by doing a revolution. Maybe by getting out from the trendy bars, stopping to listening to shitty music and creating a very interesting, exciting counter culture. And I can say so because my country as yours I think right now is... really boring. I don't know about Sweden, I don't know your country enough but I can talk to you about my country, Paris is a dead place. It's a museum place, made for tourists. There is absolutely no counter culture. There are girls, there are bars, there are electronic synth music but there is no organization of people trying to propose something else - new art, new music, new... something that comes from us that wouldn't be a remake, that wouldn't be a best of, that wouldn't be a sampling of something already existing, you know? Something that would belong to us, that we would have created. So we would have to change a lot of things.

The Northlander: But, while we're on the topic of comparing Sweden and France, and talking about movies, you said something about the French censorship [during the short Q & A session with the audience after the film] and that kind of thing... Back in Sweden - I don't know if you know about this - back in Sweden in the 80's, we had an INCREDIBLE problem with censorship in especially horror movies. Movies like TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, all the Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento [movies]...all that stuff, and I think even HALLOWEEN [part 5] were completely banned. You couldn't get them anywhere, until 1993 maybe. RE-ANIMATOR, BAD TASTE, all of that.

Pascal Laugier: Yeah it was the case in England too, [and] even worse, even. TEXAS CHAINSAW is still banned in England right now, yeah.

The Northlander: Really?

Pascal Laugier: Yeah.

The Northlander: Wow.

The Northlander: So how is that in France?

Pascal Laugier: In France it was a little bit different. When the left wing, The Labour, came to power it changed everything. Before that, the left wing, The Labour, won the elections in '81, before that some of the films were forbidden. TEXAS CHAINSAW... MANIAC, was forbidden. So it was the same, but in '81, François Mitterrand won the election and we had a more permissive, more open-minded society and finally the minister of culture allowed these films to be released and until now we never had any kind of censorship. Now the censorship is done in another way, like my film.

The Northlander: Yeah?

Pascal Laugier: Because they would never dare to ask for a director to cut some of the sequences of the film, it wouldn't be accepted by the general opinion because in my country the freedom of the artist means something, you know? So they have found other ways with exhibitors you know? Trying to kill the release of the film, trying to kill it commercially.

The Northlander: That rating, is that valid for the DVDs as well? Or is it just in theaters?

Pascal Laugier: No, no. On the DVDs it's forbidden under 16 like any extreme horror films, so it would be available everywhere on DVD.

The Northlander: Do you think this is why it's so difficult for us in Europe, or at least has been for the past... I dunno, 20 years, to make horror films?

Pascal Laugier: No, I think it has something to do with... In France, we never had a strong genre culture. To be very aware, that even when Jean Cocteau was doing THE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST in the 40's - they were totally belonging to the underground French industry. You know, the regular French industry always produced dramas, comedies... There is a problem between Horror, Genre and French society, I don't know why. We should write a book about it, you know? My country for the last century has never been counter-cultural. The same with music - when Rock'n'Roll was invading the planet, but in France - no. In France it was very bad songs, French songs, and we didn't get the Rolling Stones in the 60's... we didn't get it. You know? But you should be a French historian and write a book about it, I would be the first to buy it to understand more about the reasons. No, for Europe I think it's just that times have changed, home cinema has changed everything. Before that, there were so many theaters in all the cities because people wanted to go see films. We had second rate theaters, you know? If you was not rich enough to see a brand new film, you pay a less expensive ticket to see a second rate film. So the industry had to feed the theaters by doing films, cheap ones, you know all kind of genres. The times were more innocent, and I'm sure of that. And it has changed, like the record industry is changing right now - it's the same. And we had a lot of different independent small production companies that were producing films. Now everything belongs to two or three huge groups that would like all the audience all over the planet to watch exactly the same film at exactly the same moment. Like SPIDER-MAN 3 or... whether you like the films or not, some of them are good of course, but the fantasy - the dream of these guys, of these corporations is less films and the entire planet will watch the same films at the same time and [they] will make A LOT of profits. So all the small, independent genre film companies have disappeared. You know?

The Northlander: Yeah.

Pascal Laugier: And you should look at the closing credits - these small companies were the ones that produced the films when I grew up like TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, MANIAC... These are not films coming from the studios. But now it's almost impossible to do that - you wouldn't be released. You wouldn't get into theaters.

The Northlander: Do you think that leaves an open market for independent release on DVD? Because technology is going so fast you can make your movie and do your own release?

Pascal Laugier: Yeah it's possible if your film is better. Because to be honest, of 50 direct-to-DVD genre films I see, one of them is good. The rest is almost unwatchable. And so if I feel so, can you imagine a regular audience who doesn't know shit about genre and doesn't care about it - it's impossible. So it goes back to what I was saying, let's organize a counter-culture, [an] international one that would produce something effective even in a small industrial way. It's a dream right now, we are so far away from it, but it seems that even our generation and younger people don't care about it. They just want to make money, they just want to have good jobs, you know? And then going on Saturday nights in bars... I dunno. Maybe I'm turning into an old asshole. Probably, I'm getting old, but I'm really, really shocked by the fact that the younger ones have not rebelled against anything. It's very surprising for me.

The Northlander: Yeah, and if you check out all the short film [makers], that whole crowd that make short films and everything, you know - they're coming from high school or whatever - all they make is like either zombie movies or lightsaber movies.

Pascal Laugier: Yes. And you know I think I talk for you too, we first liked genre film because it was a way to escape from our parent's culture. It was a counter-cultural culture. You know? And we felt like an old and small church knowing that the beauty was in Dario Argento's films rather than in the boring films shown at the Cannes Film Festival. We knew that there was something fresh, something new, something very deep and complex and very sophisticated and all the more as our father couldn't stand these films, thinking we were crazy to like them. But today, young people are very, very happy to say that they listen to the same music as their father. The father and the son is listening to The Rolling Stones basically, because once again we are living in a world of self reference, you know? And now, I don't think the young ones see horror films as counter-cultural stuff. They see it because it's very well accepted now.

The Northlander: Yeah.

Pascal Laugier: When I was young, the names to impress didn't talk about genre culture at all, you had to find fanzines and very special magazines - now in every family magazine, you can find an article about Freddy Krueger.

The Northlander: Yeah, and with the internet and everything...

Pascal Laugier: Absolutely. Everything is everywhere. Which doesn't prevent us to keep on asking the question 'How can we make our faith survive?', you know?

The Northlander: Yeah, and also one of the special things about horror films is that it's something you like despite it not being pleasant, you know? So many people, they're so used to being spoon-fed stuff they're supposed to like that they can't eat the bitter.

Pascal Laugier: Absolutely. I agree totally. I agree totally. Are we condemned to become all the household collectors of the past? I don't want that. Because I still have a deep faith in cinema, I still LOVE films, I still want to pay to watch good films, you know? And going to a DVD store is still one of the happiest moments of my life, you know. So I don't want to lose faith, I don't want to be cynical myself. Cynical is the failure of everything.

The Northlander: So, I gotta ask you this - HELLRAISER. What are your thoughts, or plans, for HELLRAISER, and how do you feel also about remakes in general?

Pascal Laugier: First of all, HELLRAISER is a child's dream coming true. I saw the first when I was 13, I remember precisely the shock it had on me because it was so new, so fresh, so it's very hard to resist the temptation to do HELLRAISER, you know? So of course. When you come from my culture it's like amazing you're even proposed to do HELLRAISER. So of course I felt about it a lot. Right now I have no reasons to refuse the opportunity because IF I disagree with the producer I would leave the project. You know, I'm not forced to do ANYTHING I don't want. So, let me write the first draft, let me tell you what all the American producers have reacted to the reading of the first draft and I will tell you if I'm in good hands or if I'm gonna leave a hellish experience but in ANY CASE, I won't betray Clive Barker's work. I want to do a fresh film filled with a lot of unexpected and surprising things. At the same time, I want it to be connected to the real, original material.

The Northlander: You mean the source material?

Pascal Laugier: Yeah I'm talking about the novella and the first film that are very close to each other. We'll get the chance to have much more money than even Clive had in the first film, so it will be of course more epic, it will be bigger, and I hope that it won't be softer. And right now I trust the guys in Dimension [Films] You know? It's all a matter of human relationship. I talk a lot with Bob Weinstein, he cares about the projects, he's a movie buff, he knows a lot about cinema. But at the same time he's Bob Weinstein and he's a very realistic money maker. So it will be a battle, and I hope that a balance will be found so the film will be close to my vision. What can I say? I'm not sure. I can't sign with my blood that I'm gonna achieve...

The Northlander: Well there's always the director's cut on the DVD... (laughs)

Pascal Laugier: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know Rob Zombie liked the experience to work with them on HALLOWEEN, he's really proud of the film, and he says it's his film, and some of the directors have hated the experience to shoot with Dimension. I dunno. But for the remake question; Remakes [have] existed since the beginning of cinema. There have been like hundreds of versions of FRANKENSTEIN, same story. John Carpenter's THE THING is a remake and it's a masterpiece, and of course there have been a lot of shitty remakes. I have the feeling honestly that I refused in Hollywood all the bad remakes that I was proposed, I really refused them.

The Northlander: So which ones, could you name a few?

Pascal Laugier: Oh not really, because I refused them you know, and they're gonna be done by someone else so it would be... [But] I refused some bad sequels, or some useless remakes, and I really had the feeling honestly - and I can say that because I had other American projects so I was not forced by any means to do HELLRAISER - but I say yes because I felt it was a good idea to do a new HELLRAISER. And we all know that the franchise has been killed by really, really cheap and bad direct-to-DVD sequels - I'm talking about HELLRAISER 4, 5, 6 - that we all hate. And we all know that the franchise deserve something more ambitious, you know, and more serious so for me it's a huge chance to be allowed to handle it.

The Northlander: So what if someone told you they wanted to remake MARTYRS in Hollywood?

Pascal Laugier: It's planned.

The Northlander: It's planned?

Pascal Laugier: Yeah it's a scoop. You're the first one I [tell]. Yeah right now we are negotiating the rights to eventually remake MARTYRS in America.

The Northlander: Is there anyone attached?

Pascal Laugier: Huh? Nonono, [it's] too soon. I think they are looking for a writer right now. And of course a film can go through years of development hell and never be done you know, like a lot of projects. But I find that for me, it's an honor. I mean, it's so prestigious to have your film [remade]. I was... I had no money at the time, I [had a] very small room in Paris, writing MARTYRS you know, at night alone - now what's happening is great, you know. I don't want you to think that I'm not happy. I am. I think the press is amazing, I've traveled all around the world, I don't want to forget it. Of course it is a very, very low budget film that shouldn't have been made, even by France. You know it's a miracle that such a film exists, you know?

The Northlander: So which studio is it that's making it?

Pascal Laugier: Dimension. They got the rights to the original one. They're gonna release MARTYRS on DVD on the Dimension Extreme label in February 24th.

The Northlander: In the US?

Pascal Laugier: In the US. In France it will be March 30th.

The Northlander: Blu-ray too?

Pascal Laugier: Blu-ray too, yeah.

The Northlander: So in the past couple of years, there's been in horror movies [that] the monster is always like a kid - a scary kid. A scary girl. Because of the Asian horror wave.

Pascal Laugier: Uh-huh.

The Northlander: So I've seen now REC, DEADGIRL... I don't know if you've seen DEADGIRL?

Pascal Laugier: I liked it a lot.

The Northlander:...and now this one - do you think the new thing will be the 'Scary Naked Lady'?

Pascal Laugier: You know what, I'm still waiting for the guy who's finally gonna bring us something new and fresh and totally unexpected. I remember fondly, it was in Paris for a very underground festival called L'Étrange Festival - "The Strange Festival" - we were first shown, for the first time in the world, we were shown the print of the first RING. At the time - it was a shock.

The Northlander: The American or the Japanese one?

Pascal Laugier: No the Japanese one, the original one. Yeah we were in trance, we were waiting for something new to happen, and finally a guy you know, called Hideo Nakata...

The Northlander: Yeah.

Pascal Laugier:...he did a film called RING, it was brand new. So clever, so scary, and then it launched a new wave of [horror] and now of course this wave of Japanese dirty haired ghosts is over, we're all very tired about it, and we're all fans expecting for something new to happen so I don't know what's gonna be the next genius, the [next] more inspired director and we are waiting very passionately and I am like you.

The Northlander: Here's another thing I was thinking about, earlier in [MARTYRS]; October 16th, 1971? [A date that was shown early on in the film as the day the main character escaped her captors.]

Pascal Laugier: Yeah. My birth date.

The Northlander: That's your birthday?

Pascal Laugier: Yeah.

The Northlander: Yeah because I thought the way it was displayed like that, it was something special.

Pascal Laugier: Yeah it's my birth date.

The Northlander: It is? Okay, cool. I was just curious. Going back to the question before that; When you were writing this, early on, there must have been at some point a picture in your head of the monster in the first act.

Pascal Laugier: Yes.

The Northlander: So, where do you think that came from, the bloody [naked, female monster]?

Pascal Laugier: A mix of some stuff I've thought about. I've had very few in fact, but I had some very small references I thought constantly about but it was in a manner of getting in the right mood to write. It was not a matter of taking something from another person's film and put it in my film, it was more a matter of listening to the right music, you know? And some of them was THE POSSESSION, you know? Andrzej Zulawski's POSSESSION, and the way the film was a crossover between a very dramatic stuff, very sad stuff, and horror, one of my favorite films. The other one was TENEBRE, Dario Argento's TENEBRE, for the clinical lights, the white light of the urban society. The fact that in this film, Rome was filmed like a dying city, you know? Everything, the clinical lights, it's the opposite of the gothic, you know? I didn't want to do a gothic film, I wanted to do a very depressive, European urban film, so yeah I thought about it also. And there is a line from HP Lovecraft that drove my energy to do the film. Just a line, you know? He once said that Horror was a genre that was supposed to be against the world, against society and against civilization. And I find it so beautiful and so true that it helped me to be as honest and sincere as I could by writing the film. I don't know if that answers your question, but...

The Northlander: No, no it does. It's really interesting to hear the personal stuff behind the ideas that come out on screen because when you're dealing with a film like this that deals with how you punish yourself to relieve yourself sort of...

Pascal Laugier: Yes, yes you're right and I feel much better now than I was feeling before the film. I'm glad I did it and I'm really glad that it's over. And I hope that my next one will be a happier experience, I really need something to feel happier.

The Northlander: Yeah.

Pascal Laugier: Two years in the MARTYRS world was heavy.

The Northlander: Yeah I can imagine that. (laughs)

Pascal Laugier: Yeah. (laughs)


SLEDE SPOJLERI ZA MARTYRS - NAJBOLJE PRESKOČITI!!


The Northlander: Absolutely. There was another thing, [and] this is just my interpretation of it, in the first act.. I don't remember the character's name, but...

Pascal Laugier: Which one? The Chinese one?

The Northlander: No, the one who's the monster in the first act.

Pascal Laugier: Lucie.

The Northlander: No, that's the Asian girl, right?

Pascal Laugier: Yes.

The Northlander: The one that she sees.

Pascal Laugier: Okay it's The Creature. That's her name.

The Northlander: Yeah, The Creature. That sort of felt like a representation of her anxiety, almost?

Pascal Laugier: ...of her incident, yeah.

The Northlander: ...and that's why she sees it, and that's why she's [the only one]

Pascal Laugier: Yeah and it's because when she sees it, when she was a child, you know, when she escaped from the house, she couldn't save another girl who was trapped with her, you know? And from then, she has a strong killing [desire].

The Northlander: Exactly, and in order to be free of that entirely you have to sort of push that evil on to other people.

Pascal Laugier: And she thought that by killing the torturers, she would be set free.

The Northlander: Yeah.

Pascal Laugier: And finally she realized that the creature is still there, you know she says to the creature that "They're dead. They won't hurt you anymore" and the creature is not agreeing with that and finally she understands that her craziness will last forever and she prefers to die, you know.

The Northlander: Yeah and the creature really isn't the girl because she's inside [her head].

Pascal Laugier: Of course.

The Northlander: ...which brings me to the question; The captors, the torturers - why don't we see more of what's behind their reason?

Pascal Laugier: Because we don't have the time, because we're still at the very first sequence and we understand more about these people at the end, you know? And with the second family of torturers, we have this new breed, this new generation of torturers, the idea is that this house has been built up by this sect as a perfect way to be quiet, lonely, isolated too and to do their experiments. At first, they were in a deserted slaughterhouse, and one of their victims escaped and they were very afraid to be taken by the police and they just found a better and safer way to just keep on [with] the experiments. And they turned it into this house, that is almost a fake house where a family lives, you know? [And] is paid in exchange to do the nasty job, do the bad job. That's it, more or less.

The Northlander: But they gotta sort of have some history too of having bad experience, which they in turn [is passing on to the victims]?

Pascal Laugier: Who?

The Northlander: The torturers.

Pascal Laugier: The first ones? The family?

The Northlander: The whole sect. What drives them to actually do these bad things?

Pascal Laugier: Fear of death. And knowing the Ultimate Secret. And that's something that could happen in real life. I mean, you know that when society is completely driven by the power of money, the power of the winners, you know? The power of capitalism, everything is possible. Everything is allowed, as soon as you pay for it. It's not worse than going to Asia and fuck some... you know, because you can afford it. It's not worse than... I don't know. Capitalism should allow that because it breaks all the taboos in the power of money so it's very, very possible that one day some people with a lot of money will try to break the last thing that makes us all the same, all equal, that is to say Death. That's an idea, and maybe it's a poetic idea but it's very connected to the world we are living in.

The Northlander: Yeah and similar things do happen, I mean they find people who have been captured for years and years in basements.

Pascal Laugier: Yes, yes. Absolutely.

The Northlander: Thank you very much.

Pascal Laugier: Thank you, it was a very interesting conversation.

So there you have it guys. Hope you enjoyed.

Vidim da se ovde spominju Martyrs. Bolje vam je da odmah smanjite sva očekivanja na nulu, jer to režira onaj luzer što je snimio beznadežno neoriginalni i totalno mediokritetski Saint Ange.

Dalje vidim da spominje M. Night Shyamalana u pozitivnom kontekstu (što je veliki plus, mada je rekao da Shyamalan ponekad uspije a ponekad promaši, što nije tačno jer on UVIJEK uspijeva), ali takođe kaže i da će Blejk Edvards brzo da umre (?!)

Kolko ti još misliš da se inatiš prije nego što priznaš da je Screamers odličan film?

nikakvo 'inaćenje' ne može od osrednjeg filma da napravi odličan film.
to su zakoni prirode, tu se ništa ne može.

jedino ako ne primenjuješ tarifu onog parateroida, patarena, pa za film čija je ocena 2+ kažeš da je vrlo dobar, onda može.

jer, SCREAMERS je za, otprilike, 3- a to nije ocena za ODLIČAN film.

Sve što ti govoriš je tačno, osim ovog posljednjeg - Screamers je film za četvorku.

ne budi tako skroman - za patarena je jedan osrednji treš poput SKRIMERSA sigurno REMEK DELO! još malo pa kao DEAD BIRDS! al ne baš.

Pa Meho, to je suludo! Po MOJIM mjerilima (koja su inače jedina prava mjerila koja postoje, ne računajući Alexa koji je klasa za sebe) Screamers je odličan film!

Moraš da prekontrolišeš merila. Rizikuješ da izgubiš sav kredibilitet kod verne publike.

meho je, kao i svi mudri ljudi (npr. ja), video svetlo, i njegove su reči ogledalo istine i ukusa.

Uh, jest vam teško kritikovati srednje poznati niskobudžetni SF-ić! Šta je sljedeće - počećete da pričate kako Moon Trap nije fantastičan film?

Ne znam ni šta je to, ali sigurno nije.

Quote from: "Meho Krljic"Ne znam ni šta je to, ali sigurno nije.

to je film koji je TOLIKO dosadan i bez duha da ga čak ni brus kempbel nije mogao oživeti!

U pitanju je DVDRip, ali na zalost, nema prevoda.

jes martyrs,ali nigde nema titla :(

Poslije kad ispadne da je film kanta, nemojte da bude da vas nisam upozorio.

Quote from: "Harvester"Poslije kad ispadne da je film kanta, nemojte da bude da vas nisam upozorio.

harv, samo zbog to malo kredita sto imas kod mene necu ti reci ono sto treba da ti kazem.

ajde cuti tamo i idi gledaj GLI TERRORI DEI ZOMBI 3!

Jel ima srpski titl?

U principu, i vi nepismeni možete da gledate film već sada ako znate sinopsis...pri kraju će biti nešto ideoloških problema ali mislim da po gledanju može sklopiti slika na osnovu prikazanog u sadejstvu s naslovom. Čini mi se da se i Haute tension može gledati bez titla, premda je ovo nešto složeniji naslov.

Kad ga već pominjem, Martyrs je prilično na tragu HT...estetizacija nasilja, ovaj put u znatno sterilnijem okruženju, ali deteriorizacija odeće opet služi kao uniforma a krv se maže kao pekmez (ali na pekmez ne liči!). Nije bez omaža, i u početnoj, akcionoj fazi Paskal nam pokazuje da vešto barata sa mnogim tehnikama plašenja, rekao bih da su tu prominentna poluotvorena...ili nedovoljno zatvorena vrata. Pomenuta estetizacija dolazi do izražaja kroz neke gotovo baletske elemente, istovremeno i prilično tabu – na momente Laugier želi da ponudi previše uglova, kadrova što ne funkcioniše najbolje sa katastrofalnom muzičkom podlogom koja je u najboljim trenucima konfekcijska. Devojačka gluma je ubedljiva, kao i sporedne epizode...ako izuzmemo u jednom trenutku umalo besonovsku karikiranost negativca.

Zatim, ovaj smeli metafizičko vivisekcijski eksperiment ima problem sa ritmom koji proizilazi iz, ipak svesne, predvidivosti – od jedne tačke slede scene koje u suštini predstavljaju pregled dobijanja gotovog proizvoda, s jedne strane pokazujući rediteljevu nameru, viđenje telesnosti, s ideološkom (jasno navedenom, i ovde bi jedino moglo biti problema bez titla) oblandom. Premda ta predvidivost i određenost šteti filmu, pažnja je usmerena na egzekuciju, okruženje čije besprekorne, stainless površine bitno kontrastiraju s ljudskim mesom. Ideologija jeste tu da prikazanom ponudi smisao, no gledalac taj smisao ne mora prihvatiti, ali Laugier želi da kroz prikazano oseti deo poruke, što ide u prilog konačnom utisku.

Martyrs deliveruje, u svojoj nesputanosti je lektira torture porna, ali daleko od toga da je zarobljen u toj odrednici. Hellraiser je u pravim rukama!

i u krajnjem saldu, gde to po tebi stoji uz HT?
AKO JE HT 5- kolko bi dao martirkama?

evo skinuh ga i ja videcu vrlo uskoro, al me bas zanima... i da, ti si to gledo bez nekog narocitog znanja jezika?
dal se bas moze?

ja sam francuski nesto malo kao i ucio, pa cu da se oprobam, al jebem li ga... nadam se da nema nekih grdnih objasnjavanja i vilozoviranja kroz dijaloge! :cry:

Francuski mi ide bolje kad čitam nego kad slušam, ali nema mnogo dijaloga i nisu zamuljeni...ono najbitnije, a to je ideološka poenta se može dovoljno shvatiti iz prikazanog.

Meni je HT 4 i eventualno pola plusa :D...kad kažem da je prilično na tragu mislim na devojačke elemente, estetizaciju nasilja, deo korpusa novih francuskih horora. Martyrs ima (s namerom, je li) probleme sa dinamikom u drugoj polovini, pogotovo uz naglašene podele scena, junakinja nije Sesil, ali recimo da je 4.

glede subtitlova, jebo ih ja:

dal su stvari koej se ovde nalaze PRAVE ili fejk?

aj nek neko proveri jer ja ovde gde sam ne mogu torente da skidam:

kakve veze sad on ima s ovim?

harv, ponekad pomislim da si stvarno blesav!

sejtan,tension,inside,ils,frontiers pa dosao red na martyrs(smorise ga francuzi),od toliko ocekivanog martyrs-a truba!!!
harvester je bio upravu, nije bas kanta al tu je negde..
na prvo gledanje bez titlova od mene 2+,mislim da nezasluzuje
vecu ocenu.

Quote from: "johnny"nezasluzuje

Verujem da ga ne bi ispravio da je dao ocenu 4+.

Quote from: "acaciA"Verujem da ga ne bi ispravio da je dao ocenu 4+.

pogrešno veruješ.

ako duže ostaneš i pomnije čitaš, možda nekad i pojmiš The Ways of Ghoul.

osim toga, ovo nisam naveo da bih ga 'ispravio', nego samo da bih naglasio zašto je to 'mišljenje' koje, za moj groš, nije vredno ni da se njime obriše dupe.

Ne znam, probao sam, ali ne ide bez prevoda, jednostavno sam mula za francuski i mislim da ne postoji evropski jezik koji losije poznajem (madjarski included!). Neka javi neko kad nadje bilo kakav prevod, makar bio i slovenacki.

ma kako da ne...kako vidim ovo je most anticipated horrors,a martyrs je daleko od horora,film je drama,kako volim reci sa primesama trilera,a engleski titl ce se pojavi najverovatnije 2037.
od pascal laugier-a sam gledao samo saint ange i sada martyrs tako da mi ocekivanja za hellraiser-a i nisu velika :(

Quote from: "johnny"martyrs je daleko od horora,film je drama

Nije teško shvatiti šta si 'ispravkom' hteo reći i naglasiti, ali je u ovom slučaju potpuno nebitno.

A ako duže ostanem,
možda nekad i skapiraš kada nešto napišem čisto radi zeza, a kada sam ozbiljna.
Naravno, bez smajlija koji bi ti pokazali pravi put.

Who cares?

Btw, kad smo već kod rimejka Hellraisera, to je zaista jedna potpuno idiotska stvar. Taj film je savršen (osim užasno loših specijalnih efekata). Jedini film kome stvarno treba moderni rimejk je Last House on the Left - svi ovi ostali su potpuno nepotrebni.
A taj Saint Ange je zaista prilično slab film, tako da se nadam da ćete mi oprostiti što ne zadržavam dah u čekanju tih Martyrsa ili kako li se već piše.

Quote from: "Harvester"

Who cares?

Obviously, you do.

Evo vam ga:

YES YES YESSSSS!!!!!!!!!! :!:  :!:  :!:  :!:  :!:

žalim ove jadnike koji nisu posedovali kvalitet koji krasi prave mučenike – STRPLJENJE – i koji su ovo požurili da gledaju bez titla, ne razumevajući ništa.
mada, neki ovde neće ništa razumeti ni s titlom.

anyway, MARTYRS je skoro sve što sam očekivao, nadao se i želeo da bude, definitivno je ovo najbolji horor iz prošle godine, s ocenom: jaka 4 (****).
to znači, u francuskom hororu, 2nd only to HAUTE TENSION.

elaboriraću impresije tokom dana na blogu.

elem, izvinjenje sto zagadjujem forum, ali bih bio vrlo zahvalan ako bi neko bio tako ljubezan da mi ustupi titl za "Al Final Del Espectro" (engleski ili srpski).

u osrednjem saint ange-u? pa zalosno je koliko je film kanta,stvarno cenim tvoje ocene filmova ali za martinke si ga brate preterao.cekam ovaj film od oktobra 2008,i napokon ga pogledah..jest.bez titlova ali cemu toliko hvalisanje,dal si toliko zaludjen sa martinkama da mu das 4+ i proglasis ga filmom 2008.
ako je martyrs bolji od svedja,onda stvarno kuda ide horor film.
samo kazem od filma sam ocekivao mnogo a dao je malo,losa kamera scenario filma katastrofa,gluma je ok(a sta tek reci za kraj filma)..sasvim osrednji film na nivou haute tensiona i vec pomenutih ,gore tipicno(francuski)i zato kazem gledajuci tension,sejtan,inside,ils..martyrs ..osecaj je kao da damgle jedan isti film(nista novo)..znaci za kraj prvih 30min sasvim ok,posle toga nepije vodu, :( !!!jbg kad sam kreten i verujem IMDB-u

džoni, ti si jedna seljačina a uz to i prostačina: ko da si iz babušnicu!

a uz to, pored što si nepismen, glup i nemaš ukusa niti pojma (pa ti, recimo, 'isto' deluju potpuno različiti filmovi), ti ne umeš ni da koristiš opciju 'quote' - pa zato bolje nemoj da se dovodiš u situacije u kojima ovi tvoji nedostaci dolaze do izražaja, kako bi što manje ispadao glup u društvu.

Quote from: "johnny"svako ko ne voli martyrse je retardiran

ne lupaj.
to nisam rekao.

rekao sam da je retardiran onaj ko kaže da su SEJTAN, HAUTE TENSION, INSIDE, ILS, FRONTIERS i MARTYRS smorili jer su "tipicno (francuski)" – odnosno da su to filmovi koji su nešto mnogo bitno slični jedni drugima.
postoje DALEKE, POVRŠNE paralele između NEKIH od njih (npr. FRONTIERS i MARTYRS), ali šta si ti zajedničko video između npr. SEJTANA, HAUTE TENSION, i ILS – to je samo tebi jasno.

Onaj mali prvi je ubedljivo najiritantniji lik, onaj sto je ko fol malko autistichan ako sam dobro skonto ? Au, kakva faca, sto je najgore susreto sam se sa takvom decom (tog lika) po raznim obdanishtima i ustanovama u ranom detinjstvu tako da me jos uvek proganja. Goni me sto se kaze. A i sad ne mogu sa sigurnoscu da kazem ko su chiji roditelji u ovom filmu jer se svi ponashaju jako ISTO, a i keva od one tinejdzerke (ili sestra ?) je starija od nje samo par godina. :shock:
Uglavnom pola filma nisam razumeo, gledo sam slike, jasniji mi bio VINYAN.

vinyan je beskrajno pametnije i jezivije iskoristio decje potencijale za stravu, ali ih je i stavio u smisleniju i bolju i ubedljiviju pricu od ove orgije nepovezanog besmisla, tj DECE.

...mala ispravka - prethodnim postom sam omašio topic, dešava se i boljima, ono "baš, baš dobar film" bilo je izrečeno na račun  VYNIAN, dočim je THE CHILDREN (ovog podneva odgledan) samo so-so ostvarenjce...

Deca treba da dobiju pet po turu. Lepo snimljen film i ne mnogo više od toga. Glavna glumica neodoljivo podseća na pokojnu Natashu Richardson - to mi je u film ubilo najjezivije.

Several seasons of watching Entourage has taught me that when a good looking actor really wants a role, he gets it, whether or not he actually has any talent. So that must make this actors get what they want theory doubly true for Robert Downey Jr., since you he's not only good looking but can also act the pants off just about anyone.
Maybe that theory cannot be proven, but you should know that Robert Downey Jr. really wants to play Edgar Allan Poe. He's in a place right now where he has his pick of parts, and he tells Metro that what he most wants is to play the famously disturbed, drug abusing, Raven quothing emo poet. In particular, he wants to play him for Sylvester Stallone who has written a Poe script he's been trying to get made for years now. At one point the role was offered to Viggo Mortensen, and around that same time Downey was actually rumored to be in the running for it... but since then we've heard nothing.

Two years later, Robert Downey Jr. has been in Iron Man and is without a doubt, the toast of Hollywood. If he really wants Edgar, maybe he has the star power necessary to get this thing moving, assuming Stallone has the good sense to bring him on board.

...upravo sam odgledao Lussierov preradak Mihalkinog MY BLOODY VALENTINE...

DOBRE STRANE - izrazito dinamičan, definitivno boljer izarde, a bolje stoji i na planu sasdržaja u odnosu na ogromnu većinu ovomilenijumskih preradaka klasičnih 80s slashera, nedostatak suptilnosti i takta (primetnih kod Mihalke) nadoknađujem izobiljem gora, dobrih efekata i meni neočekivane humorističnosti u scenama Henryjevih egzekucija...

LOŠIJE STRANE - neubedljiva gluma, nedostatak vidljivijeg kohezivnog faktora na opštem nivou i nešto što možda i nije mana, imajući u vidu uslove gledanja - finiši scena ubistava su usmeravana ka poenti koja je viđena za 3D eksploataciju....

...moram da se ogradim - Mihalkin izvornik je u samom vrhu 80s slashera i horora uopšte, tako da je Lussier u bitku, barem što se mog suda tiče, ušao sa ograničenim područjem borbe...

Ghoul je na svom blogu dao 1+ za My Bloody Valentine rimejk. Ja nisam bio tako strog, ali sam ipak očekivao više... Moj komentar sa bloga:

Nije film baš toliko loš, mada jeste jedna velika propuštena prilika. Taman sam se na početku ponadao da će Lussier da krene Krejvenovim stopama, i da MBV time postane prvi novi slešer koji se smisleno nadovezuje na prvi (dobro, može i drugi) Vrisak, uz ekstra dozu krvi, ali... Ali, toga ima samo u zametku i nema ovde pravih likova, a ni zanimljivih situacija (jedino ona full frontal scena, mada je i to moglo bolje da se iskoristi), pamtljivih dijaloga, kao ni istinske tenzije i pravog duha; i Tom Atkins je u suštini protraćen. Pa ipak, ne bih rekao za film da je negledljiv, zapravo sasvim je gledljiv, ali ništa više od toga. (bolji je od Valentine, nastavka Urbanih legendi, nastavka Znam šta ste radili..., nastavka rimejka TCM-a, rimejka Halloweena, rimejka Prom Nighta... i verovatno još nekog novog slešerčića. 2+

ja ne mogu da verujem da je nekome 'gledljivo' nešto što je OVOLIKO nemušto slikano (toliko ružno izgleda ovaj 'film' da je to na nivou neke otaljane domaće TV sapunice, kao kamerom za slikanje svadbe da je rađeno!) i isprazno, bez ikakvog PUNCH-a, 'režirano'!

scene IZMEĐU ubistava su savršeno negledljive, nesnosno dosadne i debilne, a ubijanje ima svojih čari, ali ni tu se nije išlo dovoljno daleko, ni u zamisli a kamo li u osrednjoj egzekuciji.

u poređenju s ovim đubretom, rimejk helovina barem izgleda kao FILM, a nastavak rimejka TCM-a je barem elementarno gledljiv, iako sasvim nebitan. čak i nastavak Znam šta ste radili ukazuje na prisustvo REDITELJA na setu, što se za ovu debilanu od VALENTINA nikako ne može reći - lusije je izgubljen slučaj, tu nema pomoći.

meni je neverovatno da ipak umereno iskusni fanovi horora, kao što su gingerkunac i miloš, gutaju jedan ovako nejestiv zalogaj kao sasvim ok.
pazite, mi se možemo sporiti da li je ova čokolada ovakva ili onakva, da li je bolja ili niej od neke druge čokolade, ali mi nije jasno kako možete da primite ovu ŠEĆERNU TABLU i da je i dalje ocenjujete kao da je to čokolada!?
dovoljan je jedan minut, ma i manje, random, bilo gde, u filmu, da se vidi koliko je nepravedan kompliment ovu orgiju jevtine banalnosti uopšte nazivati FILMOM!

ne misliš li da je prilično neprikladno kada je neko - mlado zanovetalo?

MBV je B film u svakom smislu te reči, a to podrazumeva da se na taj način i tretira. On nije ni imao pretenziju da bude čokolada tako da sam ga ja i razmatrao u kategoriji šećernih tabli.

Kao takav, meni je sasvim jestiv.

Uživao sam u nedostacima (od kojih neko proizilaze i iz činjenice da je predviđeno da film bude gledan u 3D) na isti način na koji uživam u nedostacima većine filmova iz klasičnog slasher perioda. Bolji mi je od nedavnog rimejka Petka 13-tog, recimo. Ništa epohalno, ništa za seču vena, već jedan gledljiv žanrovski fix.

I Can See You
By RONNIE SCHEIBRead other reviews about this film

Powered By A Cinema Purgatorio release of an Aphasia Films/Glass Eye Pix/Scareflix production. Produced by Peter Phok. Executive producer, Larry Fessenden. Directed, written, edited by Graham Reznick.

With: Ben Dickinson, Duncan Skiles, Christopher D. Ford, Heather Robb, Olivia Villanti, Larry Fessenden.
  In Graham Reznick's low-budget debut chiller, "I Can See You," produced under the aegis of fright maven Larry Fessenden, horror is purely in the eye of the beholder -- in this case, a myopic artist-cum-advertising photographer with father issues. A bunch of city-slicker friends camping out in the woods, the hoary setup of innumerable scarefests, is granted a decidedly Lynchian spin as everyday normality goes grotesque. Atmospheric audio fills each leaf and branch with nameless menace, while superimpositions and slow dissolves trace a psychological slide toward disintegration. Critically lauded pic, which bowed April 29 in Gotham, could build a cult following.
Launching their new advertising agency via environmentally toxic cleaning product Claractix, three young New Yorkers (Ben Dickinson, Duncan Skiles, Christopher D. Ford) venture into nature to capture images of purity. But the televised ghost of Claractix's long-lost 1950s spokesperson (played with eerily cheery insistence by Fessenden) haunts the film, morphing into disturbing images of more familiar demons. Reznick's sound design effectively jangles nerves, and two setpieces trumpet his visual prowess: a languid lovemaking scene lit by indirect flashlight and a tour-de-force musical number that grows increasingly horrific.

Camera (color, HD), Gordon Arkenberg; music, Jeff Grace. Reviewed at Cinema Purgatorio, New York, May 3, 2009. Running time: 97 MIN.

Dobar je taj Meloun! Feardotcom je truba, ali kriv je scenarista.

...pogledao sam Malononovu PARASOMNIJU  i mogu reći da sam u priličnoj meri zadovoljan! Majstor isporučuje očekivano,posebno u drugoj, much gorier polovini filma. Zamerio bih mu raspričanost u prvoj trećini, gde je bilo očitih viškova za štrihovati, tu je trebalo malo utegnuti priču, dok bih sve ostalo oprostio na račun očito diskretnog budžeta (dometi su negde u ravni Rubenovog DREAMSCAPE ili Flynnovog BRAINSCANa). Mnogo je važnije da Malone poklonicima pruži prepoznatljivo - atmosferičnost, zlokobnost, mnogo široko-dubokih kadrova iz kojih svakakva čuda možda vrebaju...

... da, Sean Young je prisutna tek u mnijaturno minjaturnom cameu na početku filma i niš' više, to je velika zamerka kad sam ja u pitanju...

Ja izuzetno cenim Melonea i drago mi je sto me Parasomnia nije izneverila. Nazalost, nije to film koji je imao sansu da bude prvoklasan. Ambiciozan a sa malim budzetom - to po pravilu ne ide dobro. Znaci, ocekujte indie ugođaj koji podrazumeva određene traljavosti u izradi. Dopalo mi se što film nije previše konvencionalan, i što ne pokušava da bude komercijalan po svaku cenu. Ja sam oprostio lose CGI efekte i mogao da iz filma izvucem jedno sasvim pristojno uzivanje... Mada, razumeću i one koji nisu oboreni sa nogu.

U svakom slučaju, apsolutno sjajan poster:::

Mutants
(France)
By JORDAN MINTZER

Read other reviews about this film
Powered By MRQE Review
A CTV Intl. release of a Sombrero Films production, in association with Cofinova 4, with the participation of Canal Plus, CineCinema, TPS Star, CNC. (International sales: TF1 Intl., Paris.) Produced by Alain Benguigui, Thomas Verhaeghe. Directed by David Morley. Screenplay, Morley, Johanne Bernard, Louis-Paul Desanges.

With: Helene de Fougerolles, Francis Renaud, Dida Diafat, Marie-Sohna Conde, Nicolas Briancon, Luz Mando, Driss Ramdi, Gregory Givernaud, Justine Bruneau de la Salle.

A gory crossbreed of "28 Days Later," "Dawn of the Dead" and several other zombie reprises, "Mutants" is far from groundbreaking but a worthy enough addition to the recent trend of screamers from Gaul. Writer-director David Morley's debut -- about a corrosive virus that turns humans into gut-munching, blood-vomiting monsters -- is fast, extremely dirty and rarely boring, despite routine plotting and few new surprises. Well-tuned low-budgeter performed weakly on May 6 local release, but could morph into potent homevid chow for horror fans in France and beyond.

From its splattery opening, in which an ambulance plows through a live body and then empties its own bloody cargo on a desolate country road, to the corpse-crunching finale, the pic sets the ketchup quotient very high and never disappoints.

Between all the plasma and latex is a dark two-hander about EMT worker Sonia (Helene de Fougerolles) and her infected b.f., Marco (Francis Renaud), the sole survivors of a horrific plague that's transformed the French population into one giant steak tartare. Holed up in an abandoned, zombie-surrounded mountain hospital, Sonia tries to keep Marco from fully mutating, before she's forced to fight on her own.

Morley keeps things quick and watchable by providing a relentless succession of grossouts while staying focused on his only plot point: Can you still love somebody if they've just spewed two liters of hemoglobin in your face and can't wait to literally eat your heart out?

Tech packaging makes the most of its sole location, with d.p. Nicole Massart's punchy but slightly over-bleached imagery capturing every last drop of gore by art director Olivier Afonso ("Inside") and makeup artist Frederic Laine ("Hitman").

De Fougerolles ("Vampire Party") and Renaud ("MR 73") manage to give life and attitude to the f/x-heavy narrative, which keeps its spare, awkward dialogue to a minimum.

The Descent: Part 2
(U.K.)
By LESLIE FELPERIN
A Celador Films production. (International sales: Pathe, London.) Produced by Christian Colson, Ivana Mackinnon. Executive producers, Neil Marshall, Paul Smith. Co-producer, Paul Ritchie. Directed, edited by Jon Harris. Screenplay, J. Blakeson, James McCarthy, James Watkins.

With: Shauna Macdonald, Natalie Jackson Mendoza, Krysten Cummings, Gavan O'Herlihy, Douglas Hodge, Joshua Dallas, Anna Skellern.

In an attempt to plumb the depths of fear again without appreciably lowering standards, several key talents behind cave-set cult horror-thriller "The Descent" reunite for "The Descent: Part 2," although franchise founder Neil Marshall has passed the helming baton to editor Jon Harris. Treading closely in the steps of its predecessor in every sense, the sequel has less emotional nuance, shows more of the monsters and opts this time for a less interesting coed cast instead of the all-femme crew used so effectively in the original. Nevertheless, as popcorn entertainment, it delivers, and should satisfy fans on all platforms.

Picking up just two days after the events of "The Descent," the action here returns to the scene of that pic's crimes, somewhere in the Appalachians in North Carolina. Emergency-services workers search around the entrance to the cave system where the six female spelunkers went underground. Meanwhile, Sarah (Shauna Macdonald), seemingly the last girl standing -- or crouching, to be precise -- in the earlier movie, emerges from an abandoned mine some miles away, stricken with amnesia and covered in blood.

Redneck sheriff Vaines (Gavan O'Herlihy) and his empathetic deputy Rios (Krysten Cummings) drag Sarah back underground to find the missing party, with an assist from three rescue workers (Douglas Hodge, Joshua Dallas, Anna Skellern). Unfortunately, Sarah at first doesn't remember -- but auds will -- that deep in the caves dwells a race of blind, slimy, ravenously hungry humanoids ("crawlers") who preyed on Sarah's friends first time round.

The script, credited to J. Blakeson, James McCarthy and James Watkins, soon gets the party started by separating the team so the crawlers can start picking them off one by one. Still, there are a few satisfying twists in store, which allow for exploration once more of themes of friendship, sacrifice and the ethics of survival.

Ultimately, however, "The Descent: Part 2" is much less interested in character than in delivering the same kind of suspense and shocks as its predecessor. Canny use is made of the setting's darkness, often thinly illuminated here by miners' headlamps and flashlights but just bright enough to make out from time to time a crawler inching along a wall in the background unseen by a character. (Lensing by "Descent" veteran Sam McCurdy is aces.)  Helmer Harris, who edited both the first film and this one, cuts tightly once again.

That said, the pic relies on the same tricks over and over again. Auds can just about predict to the second when, after a requisite spell of quiet, something scary will happen, so fear is generated by constantly startling rather than surprising viewers. Aiding and abetting this strategy is the sound design, which alternates whispers, tiny drips and creaky stone murmurs with huge, explosive bursts of source noise and percussive music by David Julyan (another returning talent).

http://www.znaksagite.com/diskusije/index.php?topic=7692.0

opa najnoviji topik, alal vera, baba sera  :?

Pogledao sam novi film William Malonea PARASOMNIA. Moram priznati da je Malone jedan od onih reditlja za čiji svaki film smatram da je zanimljiv, ali da isto tako nikada nije isporučio istinski zaokruženo delo. Njegovi raniji filmovi su uvek u nekim segmentima bivali bolji od onoga što treba da budu, i to paradoksalno dovodilo do toga da izgledaju kao da su slabiji nego što su mogli da budu. Malone se uvek koristio istrošenim, poznatim matricama i unapređivao ih je svojim specifičnim vizuelnim stilom u koji je unosio dosta uticaja ekspresionizma, dosta depalmijanske iracionalnosti i generalno činio da filmovi imaju određene arty deonice.

Malone svakako nije prvi reditelj koji se upleo u horor sa idejom da ga obogati arty detaljima, ekspresionizmom, iracionalnošću, bez previše brige za priču. Međuitim, Malone je verovatno jedini iz srednje generacije američkih B-reditelja koji je tim putem išao toliko daleko, u industriji koja generalno ne toleriše tu vrstu eksperimenta. Otud je i malone sada na ničijoj zemlji, ne radi vrhunski mainstream, ne radi ni exploitation već luta pustarama indie horora.

U tom smislu, PARASOMNIA je potentno ostvarenje indie horora koje kreće iz miljea kakav je karakterističan recimu za Lucky McKeeja i odlazi u pravcu raznih ekspresionističkih elemenata i završava blizu Tim Burtona.

Naravno, Malone je mnogo visceralniji od McKeeja i od Burtona tako da već od prvog kadra i špice vidimo da je reč o radu jednog samouverenog, iskusnog i veštog reditelja kome ni kasniji indie setting ne smeta previše. Ono gde film pada to su tipične neuralgične tačke horor filmova, poput scena sa policijom koja u većini naslova ovog tipa redovno izgleda kao višak, a kada pandura igra Jeffrey Combs deluje kao manje uspeli deo filma Stuarta Gordona iz osamdesetih. Iako Maloneov film ne pledira da nudi logičnu priču, ovaj segment sa policajcima prosto ne pripada inače vrlo konzistentnom univerzumu koji je u svim drugim segmentima Malone ostvario.

Međutim, ukoliko se čovek upusti u glednje Malonea i zna šta da očekuje, PARASOMNIA mu izuzev opterećujećg plota sa policijskom istragom nudi vizeulno ekspresivan pulpy tobogan, smešten u indie parametre. Ono što međutim, običan gledalac, ljubitelj žanra ili ne, ponovo ima kao problem sa Maloneom je gde smestiti ovaj film. Naime, PARSOMNIA je suviše pulpy za indie horor, koliko god bila neozbiljna i trashy u postavci ipak nije trash, a opet svi ovi elementi ma koliko zanatski bili vešto realizovani jako su daleko od mainstreama.

PARASOMNIA je dakle još jedan Maloneov naslov koji uprkos svojoj intrigantnosti i veštini nekako ne može da nađe svoje mesto na tržištu što je štta pšošto su popred Malonea i njegovi saradnici, naročito DP Christian Sebaldt sa kojim je radio i FEARDOTCOM. Sebaldt je napravio odličnu indie fotku, sa vrlo ambicioznim rešenjima, na malom budžetu, koja sasvim funkcionišu, a veštim rukovanjem objektivima dodao je celoj priči potrebnu oniričku atmosferu pošto se film bavi pitanjima spavanja i hipnoze.

A Gaumont release of a Studio Mad, Sombrero, Gaumont production, in association with Banque Populaire Images 9, with participation of Canal Plus, CineCinema, TPS Star. (International sales: Gaumont, Paris.) Produced by Alain Benguigui, Thomas Verhaeghe. Directed by Abel Ferry. Screenplay, Johanne Bernard, Louis-Paul Desanges.

With: Fanny Valette, Johan Libereau, Raphael Lenglet, Nicolas Giraud, Maud Wyler, Justin Blanckaert.

"What goes down, must come up" is the pitch behind "High Lane," a taut French chiller that swaps the spelunkers of "The Descent" for a group of reckless mountain climbers. Musicvid/commercials helmer Abel Ferry's debut feature reaches dizzying heights of suspense early on but eventually plateaus into lots of generic butchering. June 24 release soaked up mild interest in Gaul; offshore, "High Lane" will likely take the fast lane to ancillary, with some Hollywood revamp potential.

New couple Chloe (Fanny Valette) and Loic (Johan Libereau) are on a hiking/climbing trip in Croatia with their adventurous pals, Guillaume (Raphael Lenglet) and Karine (Maud Wyler). All seems well at first -- apart, that is, from Loic's paralyzing acrophobia, Guillaume's numbskull plan to follow an abandoned trail and the addition of an unwanted fifth wheel, Fred (Nicolas Giraud), who happens to be Chloe's ex-b.f. and wants to win her back at all costs.

The group's explosive tension is effectively captured from the start by d.p. Nicolas Massart's sporty, stomach-churning camerawork. It quickly reaches death-defying levels when the kids try to cross a suspension bridge that seriously needs a safety inspection.

Soon afterward, one of them gets nabbed in a bear trap, and another in a spike-laden pit -- all the work of a sadistic mountain killer with the culturally apt name of Anton (Justin Blanckaert). From then on, dripping makeup f/x take over, while the bizarre love triangle pitting Guillaume against Fred endures until the final standoff.

Writers Johanne Bernard and Louis-Paul Desanges ("Mutants," also shot by Massart) provide some interesting twists in the earlier stages and offer some late surprises involving Guillaume's fits of envy. But their handling of Anton is far from inventive, with little explanation offered beyond the fact that such characters could only exist in a place like Croatia. (The film was actually shot entirely in the French Alps and Pyrenees.)

Ferry's maneuvering of the action, especially in the mountain climbing scenes performed by the actors themselves, reveals a knack for storyboarding sequences into moments of condensed, throbbing anxiety. He's less creative when it comes to the gore, which is neither humorous nor shocking: Anton's lair resembles a rustic version of every torture chamber since Leatherface's kitchen.

The young actors ride the wave of horrors with adequate intensity. Libereau ("Cold Showers") is particularly convincing as a jealous fusspot headed for a comeuppance.

A Typecast Pictures production. Produced by John Sinno. Executive producers, Ali Hamedani, Sinno. Co-executive producers, Serge Sarkis, Igor Klimenkoff, Bob Parker, Leigh Kimball, Rima Sinno. Directed by Kevin Hamedani. Screenplay, Hamedani, Ramon Isao.

With: Janette Armand, Doug Fahl, Cooper Hopkins, Russell Hodgkinson, Cornelia Moore, James Mesher, Bill Johns, Ali Hamedani.

"ZMD: Zombies of Mass Destruction" is part of a rare breed: a horror-comedy that's actually consistently funny and occasionally almost scary. Unbelievably violent even by zombie-movie standards, the film is nonetheless weirdly good-natured and often quite clever, and reps a promising start for debut director-scripter Kevin Hamedani. Though it's a bit too roughly hewn to have much theatrical life, the film should get plenty of play in its natural habitat -- on DVD and at midnight screenings near college campuses.

Heavily indebted to George Romero (as any good zombie film ought to be), "ZMD" uses the familiar genre trappings to satirize homophobia and the jingoism and xenophobia that flourished around the beginning of the Iraq War. These subjects are so exhausted that they can barely be roused for the ribbing, so it's fortunate that the film opts to tackle them through twisted humor rather than through preaching or heavy-handed symbolism.

Set in the conservative island community of Fort Gamble, Wash., in 2003, the film offers parallel stories of two outcast residents: Frida (Janette Armand), an Iranian college student coping with the community's suspicions that she's a terrorist, and Tom (Doug Fahl), a gay businessman reluctantly returning to town with his boyfriend (Cooper Hopkins) to come out to his mother.

Come nightfall, a wave of lurching zombies descends on the scene, and small-town prejudices come to the fore. The redneck contingent suspects Middle Eastern terrorism, while the bingo-loving churchgoers are certain the gays are somehow to blame, and the two protags are forced to make allies of the hostile townfolk to survive the onslaught. The targets here are easy ones, the stereotypes stale and unfair, but somehow it all works more often than not.

The early going is a little slow, but once the action starts, pic hits its stride and offers a steady stream of sharp jokes and gruesome setpieces (a truly shocking sight gag early on indicates the filmmakers are game for just about anything). Director Hamedani proves impressively capable of conveying total apocalypse on a budget, as well as maintaining a light, cartoonish tone through increasingly horrific mayhem.

Bloody, old-school special effects are very ably and cleverly pulled off, and the score nods to the Moog-heavy music of the pic's late-'70s inspirations.

Vernova kritika za "It's Alive" rimejk:

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41671 (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41671)

Man, anybody notice they do alot of remakes these days? Seems like it anyway. I'd have to research it a little more to be sure. This is the remake of Larry Cohen's 1974 killer baby picture. I thought it was supposed to play in theaters, but that's because I didn't know it was from the DTV kings at Millennium Pictures and Josef Rusnak, director of ART OF WAR II: BETRAYAL and THE CONTRACTOR. This one unfortunately doesn't star Wesley Snipes, but instead Bijou Phillips as the mother of the killer baby.

In this version she's a graduate student under some pressure to not have the baby so that she doesn't screw up her education and throw away a career she's been working toward. But she makes the decision to leave school to give birth and live with her boyfriend and the disabled younger brother he's raising. The baby grows unusually fast so she has to have a forced birth.

She's drugged up for her C-section and when she wakes up the operating room is covered in blood and dead bodies, which is not how it's supposed to look. Also the baby is pretty big for a preemie. We the viewers can guess that the baby is the culprit, but understandably the characters don't jump to the same conclusion. You don't just go around pointing fingers at a newborn. In my experience you want to be absolutely sure that the baby really committed the massacre before making a serious accusation like that.

So Bijou and her boyfriend set out to deal with a difficult birth - they just don't know how difficult. At first the dead animals they find around the house don't seem to be connected to the baby. It's a while before mommy catches baby eating a rat, and even longer before she has to hide the bodies of her dead friends.

I wonder if maybe there should've been more of a whodunit mystery kind of thing here. Like maybe there should've been a couple other baby characters in the movie and you're not sure which baby it is doing the killing until it's revealed at the end. I don't know. Maybe not.

Original IT'S ALIVE writer/director Larry Cohen is credited as one of three writers on the remake. That's because he tried to do the remake himself, so I guess at some point he left or got dumped and they rewrote his script. According to interviews he planned to deal with advances in genetics and the dangers of parents wanting to abort their baby because they find out its disabled in some way, or even gay. That would've been a reasonable new thing to add into the mix, but it's not in the final remake. There's something about an attempt to abort the baby that can be interpreted as the reason for the mutation, or why the baby is angry, but I don't think it's meant as an anti-abortion parable considering how the baby turns out. If ever there was a baby to want to abort it would be this little fucker.

Anyway, this has the usual remake problem of needlessness. I'm not sure why you need to remake it. The original might be dated, but in an interesting way. It has things to say about the time it was made. This one maybe says a little less. Despite that, for me (I like the original, but don't love it or remember everything about it) the remake is an enjoyable experience, a solid little horror movie that treats a ridiculous premise with admirable seriousness. Other than the ambiguous abortion thing I mentioned there's no hint at why the baby is this way, because it doesn't really matter. They don't even once mention "the environment." Instead the movie is interested in the fears of parenting: is she ready to be a mother, is he ready to be a father, or a husband, will she have to give up her life plans, will it be worth giving up her life plans, is the younger brother gonna be okay with it, is the baby normal? And the guilt of having been unsure about the pregnancy. And most of this stuff you get to read on their faces, they don't have a bunch of stupid dialogue to explain what they're feeling or that the mother - who is more the central figure than she was in the original - is having trouble weighing "he's my son and I love him unconditionally" against "oh shit, my baby keeps mauling people."

Like in the original they keep the baby mostly out of sight, off screen, in blankets or shadows. With maybe one sharp-toothed exception the money shots are subtle and creepy. There's a scene in the basement where the baby slowly crawls out from around a corner and stares. But he's across the room and in shadows, you have to squint to get a look at him. But he looks real.

Also like the original the killings are really over the top. You're not seeing little Daniel, but you sure are seeing blood cover the windows and walls. He just tears people apart with his little monster baby teeth and claws or whatever he has. And it's funny because he's a baby, a human baby (to some extent). And I think that's why this is DTV. It's better than some horror movies that get a theatrical release, but I bet they're right if they think today's audiences would laugh it off the screen. Back in the '70s the trailers for these movies made kids shit their beds, but now they probaly think killer babies are funny. People now days got no appreciation for the outlandish and the absurd. They think because it's crazy that means it's bad. They haven't seen the original so they haven't seen something like this before. They're not ready. They can't take it. They're too literal, too square, too anti-killer baby. So fuck 'em.

Of course, the people who can appreciate a killer baby movie have most likely seen the original IT'S ALIVE movies, and aren't looking for an update. But if they are it's due October 6th. I say just because this remake was an accident doesn't mean we can't appreciate the creepy scene where the father traps the baby in a garbage can and takes it out in the woods and loads his gun while otherworldly wailing echoes from inside. It was unwanted, but that doesn't mean it's not beautiful in God's eyes. As far as DTV movies go.

Teasingly enjoyable rubbish through the first hour, "Orphan" becomes genuine trash during its protracted second half. This "Bad Seed" rehash about an adopted Russian girl who deliberately foments mayhem in an upscale family is intent on getting a rise out of the audience and does so, but mostly in the wrong ways. Fine actors, fancy production values and attempts to invest horror with extra depth create a classy patina, and the ultimate "reveal" is a lulu not to be tipped off, but it's all just too absurd to keep riding with it. Adoption advocates are justifiably fearful about pic's possibly negative impact on their business, but Warner Bros. has little to fear from this eminently promotable item where its coffers are concerned.

For a while, it looks as though writer David Leslie Johnson, working from a story by Alex Mace, and director Jaume Collet-Serra, whose unnecessary 2005 "House of Wax" didn't deny him a second shot with WB and producer Joel Silver, might actually be able to add a fresh layer of credible emotion and psychology to a predictable premise. Nightmarish opening depicts the feverish recollection by Kate Coleman (Vera Farmiga) of the stillborn birth of her third child, an event that soon leads to her decision to adopt a girl.

Kate has some issues, notably a drinking problem that prevented her from rescuing her little daughter Max (the adorable Aryana Engineer) from an accident that caused her to go deaf. Latter condition is worked into the story in a number of clever ways -- much hinges on things that are overheard, lips that are read, signs that are picked up, or not -- and is a key factor in the relationship the girl has with her mother and her new "sister."

Kate and passively supportive husband John (Peter Sarsgaard), the source of whose obviously lucrative income is never mentioned, find their chosen one at an orphanage run by Sister Abigail (CCH Pounder), who can barely contain her surprise and delight at Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman) being taken off her hands. A prim, polite 9-year-old who paints well and speaks beautifully, albeit with a slight accent, the sallow-faced, black-haired Esther dresses like Little Bo Peep, carries a tattered Bible and warns, "I guess I'm different." Like any good liberal mom, Kate replies, "Well, there's nothing wrong with being different, you know." Right.

Ensconced in the family's Architectural Digest home on a hill (pic was shot in snowy Quebec), Esther makes an ally of little Max but is loathed by cusping adolescent son Daniel (Jimmy Bennett). By contrast, her attitude about John is ambiguous; the newcomer has an uncanny knack of turning up whenever the parents try to keep their sex life in gear, first (and hilariously) in the kitchen, then in bed, where the thunder-frightened girl sidles up against the naked man just moments after he's been thunderclapping his wife.

Things go from weird to worse until something entirely untoward happens to sweet Sister Abigail. The percolating air of expectation and nervous humor gets sucked right out of the movie when the first act of explicit violence takes place, turning the film from a rollicking bit of leg-pulling to a grim exercise in methodically applied terror, as Esther goes on a carefully plotted rampage.

Although Kate, who becomes ostracized from her family for being the only one who believes the girl is evil, aggressively tries to unearth the little devil's birth and early life records, Esther's dirty secret is well kept until the big moment, which ranks with "The Crying Game" in its surprise quotient. This juices the film for a few minutes, but then follow not one, not two but three battles to the death, each more preposterous than the last. It's also one of those movies in which a revolver is fired seven times.

Through it all, the cast members perform heroically, as if believing they're actually in a good film. Farmiga expresses a hundred nuances of love, rage, self-confidence and doubt as the beleaguered wife and mother, while Sarsgaard smoothly invests the outwardly mild husband with hints of a very slippery character. All three kids are terrific. Fuhrman makes Esther calmly beyond reproach even when faced with monumental evidence against her, and has the requisite great evil eye. Bennett is highly sympathetic as the encroached-upon boy who picks up on Esther's bad vibes long before anyone else, while Engineer is a dream.

Tech credits are strong, and John Ottman's off-center score helps significantly in creating a sense of unease.

JOE DANTE's THE HOLE

Joe Dante And Mr. Beaks Tumble Down THE HOLE (In 3-D)! Also Discussed: "Dante's Inferno" At The New Beverly!

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41944 (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41944)

Mr. Beaks: Though you recently directed two episodes of MASTERS OF HORROR, this is basically your first horror feature in some time. Did you find yourself attacking the genre any differently.

Joe Dante: Believe it or not, I do tell my agent, "You know, if the next picture wasn't a horror picture, that would be okay." But somehow when you gain proficiency at something, that's what they want you to do. So I do read a lot of horror scripts, but I frankly don't find many that are [interesting]. This one [by Mark L. Smith] was different because, from the first time I opened it up and started reading it, I liked the characters. I thought, "This is well-written! This is a well-made script!" Believe it or not, and I know this is very hard to believe, but a lot of horror scripts are not well-written. So I went in for a meeting, and talked to these people, and gave them my ideas. Obviously, they were talking to other people, but they finally decided to go with me. And I suggested that the picture might be enhanced if we shot it in 3-D. I expected to be laughed out of the room, but they thought about it and said, "That's actually not a bad idea." Now we're doing it in post, and... it's added some money, but not an incredible amount. I think it's really upped the picture three notches at least.

Beaks: Are you doing many comin'-at-ya gags, or are you mostly trying to immerse the audience in the environment.

Dante: I think the way the new 3-D works is that you do feel immersed, and that you do feel involved with the characters. Of course, you need things to break the frame and come out at the audience because a) it's expected, and b) it's hard to avoid. Even in real life: things do that. The trick is "What is it?" If it's a sharp-pointed object, it doesn't work because your eye doesn't converge it correctly. So there are rules to what works and what doesn't work. And I've already done a 3-D movie for Busch Gardens, a ride called "Haunted Lighthouse". So I've already had some experience. And I've seen all of the 3-D movies more than once. But you learn as you go: there are rules you can break, and there are rules you can't break - otherwise the audience will get cross-eyed. So we staged the movie much like a regular movie, although it's a little different because you're consciously aware of the spatial relationship of the characters and how that impacts the scene dramatically.

Beaks: Even with all of the advances in 3-D, I still see DIAL 'M' FOR MURDER as the one that makes the best use of the process.

Dante: It's my favorite. There are two scenes that stick out at you, and the rest of it is all about placing people within the frame. It's a stage play. I had been watching the film in 2-D for years, but when I finally watched it in 3-D again a few years ago, I was really impressed with how Hitchcock used 3-D - which was kind of an avant-garde thing for him to do. Then again, this was the guy who wanted to make a film in one take. He was always experimenting. And I bring a little of that to this. I always cite [DIAL 'M' FOR MURDER] as the one people should look at if they want to figure out how to do 3-D.

Beaks: It feels like you're sitting on the stage as the play happens around you.

Dante: Right! There's a chair here, and somebody back there, and a lamp here, and there's just something about it that makes you feel like you're up on stage with the actors instead of looking through a window. We used a few of those techniques, although it's very hard to do. On a normal movie, you just get a disc and show it to your DP and say, "Here, I like this." But where the hell are they running DIAL 'M' FOR MURDER in 3-D anymore? It's not like you can just call it up.

Beaks: Every now and then the American Cinematheque does a big 3-D festival with all of the movies.

Dante: And I'm a part of that. They did it twice, and I think Jeff Joseph, who is behind it, is hoping to do one more. There are two or three pictures that haven't been rescued yet, and they're hoping to uncover them and hold another festival.

Beaks: Do you pay homage to any of those vintage 3-D films in THE HOLE?

Dante: There are some homages that astute fans will spot. But they're not particularly 3-D homages; they're just things I like, and directors I like, that I pay homage to. I don't do it consciously; it just happens.

Beaks: It's been interesting to see certain critics vociferously defend you over the years. Jonathan Rosenbaum, in particular.

Dante: Yes, Jonathan has been very loyal. When they defend THE 'BURBS, that's when I know they're serious.

Beaks: There are plenty of good reasons to defend THE 'BURBS.

Dante: Well, I'm running THE 'BURBS at The New Beverly!

Beaks: I know! And I'm very excited because I was out of town the last time you did a festival at The New Beverly.

Dante: Oh, well, you've got to see THE MOVIE ORGY.

Beaks: And you're doing a six-hour version of THE MOVIE ORGY this time?

Dante: Yes.

Beaks: Whenever I try to explain THE MOVIE ORGY to people, I fail miserably.

Dante: It's impossible. I tried to explain it to the audience before I ran it and realized I was getting nowhere. But once it was over, they got it. I was worried that it was too dated, that they weren't going to get the references because it was so specific to the time. But general, cumulative stupidity works on them to the point where they can [understand] the whole thing.

Beaks: It's just pieced together from a life of watching movies?

Dante: It started out with a bunch of movies I had - clips from movies from some rental library that went out of business. I spliced them all together on reels with commercials and pieces of TV shows. And then we'd rent a movie, run about twenty minutes of the movie... [Appropriately, this is where the volume in the room overwhelmed my recorder. The precise secrets of THE MOVIE ORGY shall not be revealed.] But then we realized we couldn't keep renting these movies; it was too expensive. So we bought the movies, cut them up, and ended up making this one single cut which has eleven reels or whatever. And we'd take it around to colleges, and Schlitz Beer would give us money. It paid my way through Roger Corman. Otherwise, I couldn't have afforded to work with him.

Beaks: (Laughing) When did this process start?

Dante: There was a BATMAN serial released in 1966, which was the 1943 serial. They released the entire serial, and we saw the whole thing in one sitting with chapter endings and the credits again... all that stuff. It was this monumental sit. People would laugh. They'd boo the producer and cheer the director, and I thought, "This is really interesting, this mass hysteria that happens when people sit in a movie theater for a really long time." That was really the basic idea of doing it. So the first one I did was with the Bela Lugosi serial THE PHANTOM CREEPS. We rented the serial and spliced all of this stuff into it. It was very funny and people liked it, and it evolved over the years into this very popular campus thing where we'd travel all over the country with it. They would sell beer, people would pass out, and it was... phenomenal.

Beaks: If people start getting excited after reading about The New Beverly screenings, do you think you might try to take it out on the road again?

Dante: I can't. I don't own any of it. I don't know what half of the stuff is. Some of them are clips from movies I've never seen. And the amount of time it would take a lawyer to clear all of the clips in this thing... it wouldn't be worth it. The only way we get away with running it is by running it for free. It's never going to get released commercially.

Beaks: I was just thinking that you could announce you're running a series of Joe Dante movies and then spring THE MOVIE ORGY on them.

Dante: I just can't charge admission. I guess The New Beverly makes enough money from the concession stand that they're happy to run it.

Beaks: Of your films, GREMLINS is always the title that comes up as a probable candidate for a remake.

Dante: If they're remaking DROP DEAD FRED, they're going to remake GREMLINS.

Beaks: And they'll probably just CG the Gremlins.

Dante: No one knows what they're going to do. They don't know what they're going to do. Otherwise, it would've happened by now. But that's what happened with the sequel: they tried to make a sequel, but realized they couldn't figure out how the other movie worked. So they said, "Get that guy back, and let him do what he wants." They did, and it was great to do whatever I wanted. It was a parody of sequels. Their only problem was that they waited six years to make a sequel - and they spent $30 million instead of $11 million.

Beaks: And opened against DICK TRACY.

Dante: There are a lot of reasons why it wasn't more successful. But it's popular. People like it.

Beaks: I think GREMLINS 2 is pretty much the ultimate Joe Dante movie in that so much is stuffed in that movie, you're finding new gags on your fourth or fifth viewing.

Dante: It's my MAD MAGAZINE movie. There are doodles in the margin. It's HELLZAPOPPIN', which is one of my favorite movies. I was very lucky to make it.

Beaks: When you see a guy like Rosenbaum teasing out all of the themes in your films, do you--

Dante: All filmmakers feel this way. It's nice to be able to have someone look at your stuff and say, "Hey, there's a pattern here! This guy's actually saying something." Very few filmmakers sit down and intellectualize about putting all of these things in their films. They come from your psyche, your id, and of course they're consistent because if you are able to stamp you personality onto a movie - which is difficult - then those things are all part of your personality and, therefore, part of your movie. It's only when you're going movie to movie and tossing them off that you don't get that kind of resonance. You can't do that with all directors.

Beaks: I just know that all of my favorite filmmakers have that element of design whether they're conscious of it or not.

Dante: Sometimes it's just seeing the same actors or the same locations over and over.

Beaks: So where are we going to find Robert Picardo or Dick Miller in THE HOLE?

Dante: You will find two Dante regulars, and everybody else is kids. It's a very small cast. And it was shot in Vancouver, so it was very hard to bring some of the actors up there. You're shooting up in Canada to save money, and part of that is using Canadian actors. But there is [a scene] that's shot in L.A.

Beaks: What's the status of BAT OUT OF HELL.

Dante: I have no idea what the status is on BAT OUT OF HELL. I don't know if the financing ever really came through. Right now, it is on the back burner.

What You Don't See
Was Du nicht siehst (Germany)
By RONNIE SCHEIB

A Lichtblick Film & Fernsehproduktion (Germany) production, in co-production with Stalker Film. (International sales: Lichtblick Film, Cologne.) Produced by Joachim Ortmanns. Co-producer, Igor Orovac. Directed, written by Wolfgang Fischer.

With: Ludwig Trepte, Frederick Lau, Alice Dwyer, Bibiana Beglau, Andreas Patton.
 
The eerie woods and fantastic rock formations of the Brittany Coast form a primordial mindscape for a sensitive adolescent grappling with his father's suicide and his mother's new boyfriend in "What You Don't See," tyro Austrian scribe-helmer Wolfgang Fischer's impressive psychological thriller. A constant sense of menace hangs over the seaside house the family has rented, the presence of a strange teenage couple sending events sliding more deeply into the sinister. Vaguely reminiscent of Francois Ozon's "See the Sea," compatriot Michael Haneke's "Cache" or even David Twohy's "A Perfect Getaway," this atmospheric chiller has a genuine shot at international distribution.
Anton (Ludwig Trepte) has stayed at boarding school since his father's death, and this vacation is meant to bring him closer to his mom, Luiza (Bibiana Beglau), and her b.f., Paul (Andreas Patton). But kith and kin cannot hold a candle to the fascination exerted by bad boy David (Frederick Lau) and his sexy g.f./sister, Katja (Alice Dwyer), amoral free spirits who seem to represent everything Anton is not.
Locked in an incestuous relationship they do nothing to hide, the siblings alternately mock and befriend Anton. David, feeding off Anton's hidden desires, urges him toward violence, while vulnerable-seeming Katja casts friendlier sexual lures.
Tramping through the countryside or gathered around the leaf-strewn pool in the neighboring house that ostensibly belongs to David and Katja, the three soon become inseparable.
Fischer never deals in gimmicky reversals or surprise revelations, relying more on dream logic and spellbinding locations to escalate the atmosphere of dread. Auds may figure out the secret behind the "Turn of the Screw"-like ambiguity of the couple, who interact with no one but Anton, but any "aha!" oversimplification pales before the mesmerizing sweep of the landscapes and the relentless certainty of the camera.
Thesping is dead-on: Lau exudes an aura of sexual danger far beyond his years, while Dwyer's Katja manages a mix of innocence and sensuality that is curiously touching. Trepte, whose boyish, unformed quality seems much in demand of late, brings the perfect degree of defiant pliability to his quietly disturbed teen.
Projected in 35mm on a giant screen, Martin Gschlacht's widescreen lensing belies its humble HD beginnings with stunning interplays of mist, light and shadow.

The Horde
La Horde (France)
By DEREK ELLEY


A Le Pacte release of a Capture (the Flag) Films, Le Pacte production, in association with Coficup, Backup Films. (International sales: Films Distribution, Paris.) Produced by Raphael Rocher. Directed by Yannick Dahan, Benjamin Rocher. Screenplay, Arnaud Bordas, Dahan, Stephane Moissakis, Rocher.

With: Claude Perron, Jean-Pierre Martins, Eriq Ebouaney, Aurelien Recoing, Doudou Masta, Antoine Oppenheim, Jose Prestia, Yves Pignot, Laurent Demianoff, Sebastien Peres, Alain Figlarz.

"Subtext be damned" is the clarion call of Gaul's first zombie movie, "The Horde," which keeps the pedal pretty close to the metal throughout. Professionally assembled on a tight $3 million budget by debuting feature directors Yannick Dahan and Benjamin Rocher, this high-grunge item makes the most of its limited sets, as cops and criminals are forced to work together in a tower block invaded by the undead. Minimal character development starts to work against the movie as the bodies pile up, but genre addicts should respond in fast playoff and on ancillary.

Hard-nosed Paris cop Franck Jimenez (Aurelien Recoing) discovers the bound and tortured corpse of a colleague, Mathias Rivoallan. At Rivoallan's funeral, various tensions are set up between his four colleagues: tough female cop Aurore (Claude Perron), who shagged him; Franck, who knows it; and Ouessem (Jean-Pierre Martins) and Tony (Antoine Oppenheim). Rivoallan's widow makes the four cops promise to kill the gangsters who murdered her husband.

That's about it for character setup, as the quartet set out to the northern suburbs to find the Markudis, holed up in some dreary-looking projects due for demolition. Before you can say "ambush," the unlikable, corrupt foursome are caught by the equally unlikable Markudis, led by big, black psychopath Adewale (Eriq Ebouaney) and his mad brother Bola (Doudou Masta).

However, when a slobbering masked zombie bursts through the door of the apartment, chaos ensues. The surviving three cops and three gangsters make it to the roof, from where Paris is seen ablaze and hordes of the undead are headed for the high-rise. The six sensibly call an uneasy truce to fight their way down to the ground floor.

Apart from the splitting of the group, and the introduction at the midway point of a crazy old survivor, Rene (Yves Pignot), there's little variation during the rest of the movie, as zombies are blown away or fought hand-to-hand in dingy corridors.

Action choreography by Alain Figlarz (who cameos as the caretaker) is fine, trimly edited by Dimitri Amar. At least one setpiece, an explosive bitch fight between Aurore and a female zombie, is memorable.

However, the main protags hardly register in the pauses between the violence. Only Pignot, as crusty Vietnam vet Rene, adds some character ballast.

Camera (color, widescreen, HD-to-35mm), Julien Meurice; editor, Dimitri Amar; music, Christopher Lennertz; art director, Jeremie Streliski; costume designer, Priscilla van Sprengel; sound (Dolby Digital), Francois Loubeyre; special effects supervisor, Olivier Junquet; visual effects supervisor, Sebastien Dostie; action choreographer, Alain Figlarz; assistant director, Paul-Henry Belin; casting, Michael Laguens.

The Loved Ones
(Australia)
By DENNIS HARVEY

   
A Screen Australia presentation, in association with Omnilab Media, Melbourne Intl. Film Festival Premiere Fund and Film Victoria, of an Ambiance Entertainment production. (International sales: Ambiance Entertainment, East Sydney.) Produced by Mark Lazarus, Michael Boughen. Executive producers, Christopher Mapp, Matthew Street, David Whealy, Bruce Menzies. Directed, written by Sean Byrne.

With: Xavier Samuel, Robin McLeavy, John Brumpton, Richard Wilson, Victoria Thaine, Jessica McNamee.

A nice addition to the annals of twisted Ozzie horror, Sean Byrne's debut feature, "The Loved Ones," transcends mere torture porn -- though there's plenty for the squeamish to squirm over here -- in its deftly controlled mix of empathy, grotesquerie and sardonic humor. Tale of a kidnapped high schooler in high extremis is probably too small and specialized for offshore theatrical interest but should win a fanbase through midnight fest slots and DVD release.

Young Brent (Xavier Samuel) masochistically exercises guilt over his father's recent death by car crash (Brent was behind the wheel). His troubles are about to get a lot worse, however. He's tonight's "guest" at the country cabin inhabited by classmate Lola (Robin McLeavy), whose school dance invite he just politely declined. A monster of vindictive self-absorption (Kasey Chambers' cloying why-me pop hit "Not Pretty Enough" is Lola's anthem), she does not take rejection well; Daddy (John Brumpton) assists in tormenting her uncooperative crush objects. While the material sometimes looks a bit thin for feature length, the final reel's fresh conceptual/staging outrages fully satisfy. Mostly unknown thesps and modest production values are very skillfully handled.

Samo me Put zanima (The Road)


PUT

Otac i sin kroz spaljenu Ameriku koračaju prema obali. U opustošenom predelu ništa se ne pomera sem pepela na vetru. Nemaju ništa osim jednog pištolja kojim se brane od ljudi duž puta, odeće na sebi, kolica nađene hrane i jedan drugog. Uprkos svemu, PUT je roman o nežnosti. Zastrašujuć i lep. Govori o nama, o onom najlepšemi i najgorem u ljudskom biću.







Ova post-apokaliptična priča obuhvata period od nekoliko meseci. Amerika, kao i ceo svet, je uništena neimenovanom katstrofom kataklizmičkih razmera. Nakon tog svojevrsnog "kraja sveta", pustom zemljom bez biosfere lutaju preživeli ljudi koji su se ili okrenuli kanibalizmu ili posvetili traženju ostataka preostale hrane. Protagonisti ovog, samo naizgled, romana strave i užasa, neimenovani otac i sin pešače prema američkoj istočnoj obali u potrazi za civilizacijom. Oni sami sebe vide kao čuvare vatre humanizma, njihovo putovanje tako dobija jednu širu i višu dimenziju od pukog preživljavanja. Preživljavanje i nalaženje smisla za dalju borbu ipak postaju sve teži i teži, ali bezizlaznost i očajanje doprinose jačem povezivanju između oca i sina koji vremenom postaju ceo svet jedan drugome ("each the other's world entire"). Odlučnost da ostanu živi uprkos svemu (njihova majka je izvrsila samoubistvo par godina ranije) postaje očaravajući prikaz božanske težine i složenosti ljudske egzistencije. Putovanje u potrazi za civilizovanim životom postaje način održanja individualnih života protagonista kao i potraga za njegovim post-apokaliptičnim smislom.

Put je od kritike prihvaćen sa oduševljenjem, opisivan i kao "heartbreaking, haunting, and emotionally shattering."



"Those last 15 pages I was weeping. I can't remember when a book last had that effect on me. It's so violent, that he could creep into this incredibly sentimental story, housed in such unforgiving terrain."

Nick Cave

Kao pisac dela od izuzetnog značaja za ekološki pokret, Makarti je uključen među "50 ljudi koji bi mogli spasiti planetu." Navodi se i to da bi ovo mogla biti najznačajnija ekološka knjiga ikada. Ona predstavlja "eksperiment u kojem se zamišlja svet bez biosfere i prikazuje nam činjenicu da je sve što nam je vredno zavisi od ekosistema".

Kormak Makarti (Cormac McCarthy) je rođen 1933. godine kao Čarls Makarti. Prvu knjigu, The Orchard Keeper, je objavio 1965. Više puta nagrađivan pisac koga američka književna kritika svrstava među najveće žive američke pisce. Porede ga sa Foknerom i Melvilom. Njegov roman NEMA ZEMLJE ZA STARCE je prošle godine adaptiran u istoimeni film braće Koen koji je zaradio oskara za najbolji film godine. Za roman PUT, Makarti je nagrađen Pulicerovom nagradom za 2007. godinu.

Ove godine sledi i filmska adaptacija koja je vec mesecima na mnogim "most anticipated" listama. Režija je poverena Džonu Hilkoutu (režirao je australijski vestern The Proposition). Glavne uloge će tumačiti Vigo Mertensen, Šarliz Teron, Gaj Pirs, Robert Duval i Kodi Smit Mekfi. Muziku je odradio Nik Kejv. Film je zavrsen i trenutno je u postprodukciji. Naveći problem je postalo pitanje da li će medžor studio hteti da pošalje u bioskope film sa tako mračnom pričom ("... it could be, if not dull, then just a relentless downer of a movie"), MGM je odustao od distribucije i film je trenutno u rukama braće Vajnstajn. Pojavile su se i prve recenzije koje su jako pozitivne ("I have a feeling that when this movie finally hits it'll be a big deal")...

Potražite Put!

Tagline kaže (naravno) "Don't see it alone", a na Yahoo-u ga najavljuju kao "this decade's Blair Witch Project". Film, naravno, govori o paru koji ima duha u kući, sve to snimljeno u stilu Blair Witcha i inih filmova. Nekako sam skeptičan u pogledu koliko toga novog može da donese ta potpuno izlizana formula, ali eto, vidjećemo.

Znači, ne ono što bih voleo u dubini duše, nego ono što moj surovo realistični razum očekuje na osnovu dosadašnjih pokazatelja.

To reče, i ispod trojke ne ode.

pa ovo je izbor ovih koji kao deluju vredni gledanja.
taman posla da nabarajam i ove koji će da budu između 2 i 3 (mada, ima bre i takvih ovde!)

Bio sam ponukan time što je i Survival na kraju prebacio trojku. Arđentov sindrom možda imam, no hvala Bogu, Romera nije obuhvatio. A ko nije, neka ne gleda trejler za Season of the Witch, prespojleričan je... Ron Perlman se po svoj prilici nije vratio penitenziađitisanju.  :(

THE WARD - šansa za povratak na scenu za legendu!

"Filmska ekipa iz Kanade, predvođena poznatim rediteljem Džeremijem Torijem, producentom Danijelom Hiksom i scenaristom Danijelom Vujićem, nedavno je doputovala u Srbiju, u kojoj će snimiti nekoliko horor filmova. Prvi film ,,Šest dana mraka, priča Tanje J.", počinje da se snima početkom aprila u selu Velika Reka.

Glavne uloge u filmu tumače Ana Sakić, Saša Joksimović, Dina Prelević, Piter Čefi, Uroš Urošević, Miljana Kravić, a trebalo bi da zaigra i Ana Maljević. Film će se snimati na srpskom i engleskom jeziku.
- Film je priča o neverovatnih šest dana terora i takvog zla za koje eksperti tvrde da je suviše strašno da bi bilo istinito. ,,Priča Tanje J." je neobjašnjiv natprirodni fenomen koja će uplašiti svakog - kaže scenarista filma Danijel Vujić, inače poreklom iz Srbije, i objašnjava kako su došli na ideju da snimaju ovde.
- Moja distributerska kuća u Kanadi ,,Hollydan works", koja distribuira većinu stranih filmova u zemlje bivše Jugoslavije, ima ugovor sa ,,Lions Gate", producentskom kućom. Imamo dogovor za ovaj film i za još dva filma koja ćemo ovde raditi, isto horora, ,,Treći lift" i ,,Skoro mrtav", tako da će ti filmovi biti prikazani svuda u svetu. Oni su nam tražili da malo promenimo scenografiju, lokaciju snimanja, a ovde u Srbiji su sela takva, uklapaju se u priču horor filma (smeh). Šalu na stranu, ali ovde zaista ima takvih mesta i izdavač se oduševio kada smo mu pokazali slike sela Velika Reka - otkriva scenarista filma koji je na filmu ,,Izgubljeni grad" radio sa slavnim Endijem Garsijom.
Film će obilovati specijalnim efektima.
- Efekte će raditi Mirko Lakobrija koji je radio na filmovima ,,Sveti Georgije ubiva aždahu" i ,,Zona mrtvih". Ekipu filma zaista čine sve umetnici iz celog sveta. Svi smo se okupili u Srbiji, pa krećemo sa snimanjem u aprilu, veći deo filma će se snimati u Velikoj Reci, jedan deo na Kalemegdanu, jedan na Slaviji   xrofl- kaže Danijel i navodi da će se film premijerno prikazati već u avgustu ove godine.
- Film se radi u srpsko-kanadskoj produkciji, ,,Nož film", a sve uz pomoć ,,Acrobat" i ,,Hollydan Works" filmskih kuća. U avgustu će premijerno biti prikazan, a nakon toga krećemo sa snimanjem još dva filma - ,,Treći lift" i ,,Skoro mrtav". "

THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE Trailer! You Have Got To See This!!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiLMePwAxxs#)

ovo zapravo izgleda značajno slabije nego što sam priželjkivao.
slutim ocenu negde oko 3-

Meni je to sasvim OK. Tvoje 3- znači odličan film. Problem su filmovi kojima daješ četvorke i petice ;-)

Ovaj Human Centipede ne izgleda onoliko kontroverzno kao sto se prica ... Cak bih rekao da ima neke prilicno predvidljive elemente zapleta... :-(

Videćemo koliko je SPLICE horor a koliko SF kad se pojavi, a u međuvremenu evo intervjua sa sjajnim rediteljem Vincenzom Nataliem:

Quint chats monsters with SPLICE director Vincenzo Natali!!!

ne znam da li je na forumu ovo već spominjano, ali s obzirom na mrtvilo koje vlada u ovom delu foruma - čisto sumnjam.

upravo gledam... ostala mi je još jeda priča.... bizarran film.  :mrgreen:

bizarno loš film... :x

jedino karim osvetlao obraz, ovi ostali - džaba su krečili.

Gledao neko prethodne Tomasellijeve filmove? Vidim da su svi ekstremno nisko ocenjeni, ali ovaj trejler i ne deluje toliko loše:

prethodni su smrdeli, mada neke imam, još nijedan nisam ucelo odgledo.
