BURNING INSIDE

I decide to start the week with a really cool but strange movie trailer. Looks like a merge of Alfred Hitchcock Psycho and Romero’s Night of the living dead.

A surreal, violent exploration of the entangled nature of revenge and memory, “Burning Inside” is an intense, uniquely original revenge thriller from Nathan Wrann, Dalton Gang Productions and Elmar Berger’s Manic Entertainment. John Doe (Michael Wrann) awakens from a coma to find that he has no memory of his life, who he was or how he became comatose. He embarks on a life of normalcy, taking a wife, starting a family, mowing the lawn. This ‘Norman Rockwell’ world is soon torn from him as he becomes driven to get revenge. Revenge for a life he does not remember. Revenge for pain lost to amnesia. Revenge for what he believes to be true. John Doe seeks out those that hurt him and makes them pay. Or does he? Such is the tragic moebius strip of revenge when the past and future collide. There is no beginning, there is no end. There is only the eternal inferno of violence, love and sorrow Burning Inside

Retro Friday : One Hell of a Christmas

This is one of the first inde film I bought. If I remember right, One Hell of a Christmas was release with the Fangoria Presents banner at the time.

After the succes of his first film Angels of the Night, Shaky Gonzalez directed this film in 2002.

“One Hell of a Christmas” is a dark and action packed comedy that takes place in a modern city as well as in a fearful underworld. When Carlitos is released after doing 2 years of “hard time”, he attempts to redeem himself and sets an example for his 5 year-old son. However, when a friend confronts him with a very dark and horrifying scam for some quick dough and good times, he declines, but never the less he soon finds himself entangled in a web of sex, drugs and Christmas carols.

LONG PIGS

It’s always cool to type a website and when you get on it you see that the film you are looking for already won 6 awards. I join the Long Pigs facebook a while ago and I never took the time to watch the trailer. Well…..that’s what I will do right now…(2 minutes 34 seconds later…)  Well this is a film that I want to see !

Screen shot 2010-04-21 at 10.54.32 PMLong Pigs is a documentary by two desperate young filmmakers who stumble upon the ultimate subject, a 33 year old cannibalistic serial killer named Anthony McAllister, who has agreed to let them document every aspect of his horrifically violent life-style. Initially terrified, the filmmakers get to know Anthony as a person. They even begin to identify with his ecological and philosophical justifications for his cannibalistic lifestyle. It’s only when they investigate further that the filmmakers begin to doubt Anthony’s accounts of his past. Tensions noticeably rise as the filmmakers continue to confront Anthony on his conflicting stories and ever-changing philosophies. During an awkward interview, the filmmakers interview Merle, the father of a young girl who was abducted and never found. This abduction was Anthony’s first child victim. Merle welcomes them into his home and gives them a heart-felt experience that even Anthony is touched by. As the documentary reaches its conclusion Anthony begins to become uncomfortably aware of the how much of his life he has revealed to these filmmakers. In a final interview with Anthony a deadly confrontation erupts and all that remains is a broken camera and this footage. “Long Pigs” will challenge the audience to view a horrific side of humanity and will deliver a social commentary that leaves the audience thinking about the world they live in and the power and effect of all media

SOMEONE’S KNOCKING AT THE DOOR

It’s 1h20am and I just got back home. I open the computer to take a couple of minutes to write the blog for tomorrow.( I know it’s late to write something but I’m so in the juice with the Under the Scares premiere ….) Anyway, I was about to choose between a long list of draft that I have but when I open my facebook page, I saw something about a film called Someone’s Knocking at the Door. Poster was shocking so I went on youtube to search for the movie trailer.

The movie is directed by Chad Ferrin. Ferrin also directed Easter Bunny Kill Kill in 2006 and a little segment in Tales from the Craper.

In this genre-defying grind-house throwback, a group of drug-addled, sexually deviant medical students are systematically terrorized by Wilma and John Hopper. The Hoppers, serial murderers and rapists, mysteriously return from the 1970s, and bring horrifying psychedelia with them. With comedy, subversion, satire and true gore, the students must face escalating attacks, shocking circumstances and visceral disgust.

You really have to check out this trailer it will blow you away.

Here’s a link for the official Facebook page of the film and the IMDB.
