Check out the images from the indie horror movie Below Zero.  Looking at the images and trailer below helped me warm up from this cold Tennessee night.

The story is said to be "based on true events," but this is not what you are thinking.  The story being told is not a real story at all, while I guess it is technically.  Rather, the screenwriter put herself into the same situation the movie's protagonist finds himself in and wrote the movie.  So if you are really to stretch the meaning of real events that sounds more like a marketing ploy, or heck maybe it will turn out to be good film making.

Many of you have been asking when Juan of the Dead would make it to the US and today we have an answer for you.  Outsider Pictures today announced the acquisition of the international hit Juan of The Dead, from Guadalajara-based international film sales and distribution company Latinofusion, for US theatrical distribution in the United States.

The Unless you have been hiding under a rock you know that The Woman in Black will be in theaters on February 3, 2012.  Don't worry if you have not seen enough clips or posters for the movie we have a few more for you to delve into.   First up is a UK TV spot for The Woman in Black followed by a poster that is a clear homage to Hammer and a International poster.

The Pack aka La meute is a French survival horror and has mutant zombie creatures to keep the action fresh and makes it a creature feature.

Franck Richard is both the writer and director for The Pack and stars Yolande Moreau, Émilie Dequenne and Benjamin Biolay.

The Pack will be available on DVD and VOD March 6, 2012 through Indomina Releasing.

The Wicker Tree opens in theaters nationwide today, too bad it's not showing in Atlanta, maybe you will have more luck on having a theater near you.  We have listed all the theaters below.

The Wicker Tree is a follow-up to the original 1973 horror film The Wicker Man.   The Wicker Tree is based on Robin Hardy's novel Cowboys for Christ and is not a remake or a sequel to The Wicker Man.  The film will follow some of the same themes and concepts and should be considered more of a companion piece.

About the two mystery characters seen at the end of the 'Nebraska' promo clip:

Michael Raymond-James' character of Dave is a charming and friendly guy from a city in the Northeast who has spent a significant amount of time in low-rent bars. He’s able to disarm with a smile but can quickly turn dangerous. He is the seemingly nice guy who is ruthless and cunning. Fans should recognize Raymond-James from "Terriers" and/or "True Blood".

Guys, geez, don't avoid these films just because they're from Australia. Order up some Outback Steakhouse takeaway, grab any one of these and have a good time...on the barbie, know what I mean?

Good, because I don't.

But for serious, there are some terrific horror movies from...I was going to say the land down under, but I will refrain...Australia. Feel like watching some crazy big animal go nuts? Then hold hands with Razorback! Or Rogue or Black Water! Want to get your stylish violence on? Wolf Creek awaits! Or maybe you're into really really great cerebral horror that has no interest in holding your hand at all...in that case, Lake Mungo and Picnic at Hanging Rock might be for you (no joke, Lake Mungo is so good) (I mean, so is Picnic at Hanging Rock, but everybody knows that).

Oh muh gah, remember when, thanks to Crocodile Dundee, America went through that crazy for Australia phase and then they made Shrimp on the Barbie starring Cheech Without Chong and Emma Samms of television's General Hospital and Dynasty? Now that's horrifying.

I love a film that creates a scenario that can be easily categorized and fit into a cubby of understanding, only to turn the whole thing on its head the instant you settle in.

Chop begins with the abduction of Lance Reed (Billy Bakshi) by an unknown stranger (Timothy Muskatell). The stranger is determined that Lance “come clean” for some wrong he apparently committed against The Stranger in the past, but Lance has no idea what he’s talking about. No amount of threatening or chiding by The Stranger can jar Lance’s memory, so on to plan ‘B’; The Stranger has an accomplice holding his wife hostage and her screams can be heard through the speaker on his cellphone. If Lance won’t come clean on the dastardly deed he supposedly committed against The Stranger, then he will have to complete a morbid task to avoid hearing his lovely bride cut to ribbons.

A few quick thoughts on the preview:

12 Million viewers, thanks in part to American Idol, ain't too shabby. We'll see if they come back for the official launch in March.

Aside from knowing the basic premise: an autistic kid who can see how everything is connected (past, present and future), I really hadn't thought about Touch's format as an ongoing series. Little Jake comes up with some seemingly random numbers and it's up to his dad Martin (Kiefer Sutherland) figure out what they mean. Danny Glover and Gugu Mbatha-Raw have supporting roles as mentor and social worker/potential love interest respectively.



Even though he's not playing Jack Bauer, Kiefer always brings the intensity. I got a little bored in the middle, but it was fun watching all the pieces come together at the end.  Unapologetically schmaltzy but also effective. I gave it a slight edge over the Alcatraz pilot.

There's a passing resemblance to Person of Interest going on here -- a weekly mystery connected to numbers -- except that POI aims for our heads, while Touch tugged relentlessly at the ole heart strings and it worked for the most part. But I do wonder if there's enough going on to keep audiences engaged on a weekly basis. POI has lots of little mysteries to go along with the standalone episodes.

Hopefully, Touch will establish an ongoing mythos, but nothing too convoluted. We all remember how Heroes started off so strongly -- only to crash and burn a few seasons later. It'll be interesting to see what lessons Tim Kring learned.

Ever since I was into horror films the most appealing things to me, aside from monsters, gore, and terror, have been the lovely ladies who have inhabited them. Whether they are the villain, the heroine, or the victim, having a babe that is easy on the eyes will definitely catch one’s interest. And, in the case of some movies, they may be the only reason to even try to sit through them. Here is a list of ten of the absolute hottest of all time!
