You think you are safe. You are not.

Evil Dead trailer (for real this time)

I posted a bootleg a few days ago, but here's the real HD, red band deal. I gotta say, I'm excited for this.


                                                                 

What Happened to Carrie?

I am not at all against the Carrie remake. For one thing, there is real talent involved with the film. Chloe Grace Moretz, at 15 years old, is already establishing herself to be a very good actress. Plus you throw in Julianne Moore as her crazy religious mother, and you have a winning combo.

The teaser trailer for the film has hit, and in it you can see they're going for a much larger scale than Brian DePalma's original. It also looks like they might be trying to stick a little closer to the source material--in the book, Carrie doesn't just destroy the prom, she pretty much destroys the entire town.

So what do you think? Does this have potential?

The Lords of Salem

I'm not really a big fan of Rob Zombie's movies.

I think he has a real visual flair, and he has it in him to direct a great film. However, he's a terrible writer, and as long as he's writing his own scripts, his films will suffer. Also: I really wish he'd stop casting his wife in lead parts.

That said, I can't help but be a little interested in The Lords of Salem, the new teaser trailer for which you can access by clicking the poster below:

So what do you think? It has a very cool, Kubrick via Eyes Wide Shut feel to it, and it gets points for using Mozart's Requiem.
