THE CABIN IN THE WOODS – Drew Goddard

It has been awhile since I’ve been to the movie theater. Usually this time of year, Spring is considered the box office’s slowest time. Everyone is waiting for that big Summer Kick-off which usually starts first week of May. However, it seems that this time of year, there is at least ONE surprise film that takes us off guard that we don’t see coming. A film that puts a twist on that particular genre. In this case, it’s Horror films. Horror films have been a rollorcoaster ride for many years. With Slasher films of the 80′s, the “Make fun of the Genre” (like Scream) in the 90′s, the “Torture” Horror films of the 00′s, and now it’s time for something new. And right now with the release of Cabin in the woods, we have that “new” face of Horror. It’s called; “the twist”. That’s right, take a scenario that we all know and have heard of before and give it a twist you don’t see coming – that’s Cabin in the woods.

MANIAC COP prequel, Refn as co-producer

Maniac Cop remake / reboot / prequel (probably this last one will be the final shape) was a stone to be labeled under “made in Hollywood” remake-mania. This prequel is going to be produced by Nicolas Winding Refn, beside William Lustig, the 1998 movie original director.

Refn, old-school horror lover, seems to be “hot” for the saga reboot, but fan have to wait ’cause of director or start date are still to be decided.

FRIDAY THE 13TH – Retrospect

Different times during the course of the year, certain events happen that reminds of us certain films. For example, Christmas we think of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, Halloween we think of John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’, and so on, but when it comes to that rare date during the course of the year, Friday the 13th we think of only one horror film franchise of the same name. For over 30 years, Jason Voorhees has been haunting us on that date and in our nightmares for a long time.
