The Devil Inside

As a subcategory of the horror genre, the exorcism film does not have the best reputation. For every The Exorcist, there are a dozen Posessed’s and Beyond the Door’s. Yet, when done well, there is rarely something as profoundly [...]

The Devil Inside 2011 in Review A Dangerous Method Young Adult The Descendants

The Trailer Park: Halloween Edition

Posted on Thursday, October 27, 2011 in by Jessica Delfanti

Let’s face it, going to the movies is a game of trick or treat. No matter how fancy the house looks from the outside, you never know until you ring the doorbell whether you’re going to get a please-all Reeses Peanut Butter Cup, a deliciously bizarre Mochi, or a, dud, a, ugh, Almond Joy. Here are some awesome trailers for the expected Snickers of the year in horror films. 

The Devil Inside (January 2012)



 I can’t even talk about this movie because it looks so.freaking.good. Yes, most of us learned from The Last Exorcism that we shouldn’t judge a film by its exorcism theme, but this includes several promising elements:
  • Freaky jumping out things
  • Weird whispering
  • Women wearing no makeup in hospital gowns
  • “Real Footage” but not a full film in handicam
  • Done by choosy director William Brent Bell (Stay Alive)
  • That lip thing with the cross? Awesome.
Need I say more? Let’s go see it. I’ll bring the popcorn, you bring the holy water.

 Atrocious (August 2011 but I’m guessing none of you saw it) 

  
I know what you’re thinking. Wahh, so many horror movies ripping off Blair Witch Project because that’s the first movie ever that used a handicam. This movie looks awesome and here’s why: it’s in Spanish, its tagline is “2011’s answer to Paranormal Activity,” and that footage looks totally real. In case no one’s noticed, when something works in the horror industry, it tends to stick. Has no one seen one of the first slasher movies?

The Divide (January 2012)

 
Post apocalyptic survivors trapped in a bunker get crazy and weird (surprise). Admittedly this looks a lot like one of my favorite horror films (The Hole), and given that comparison, the whole ever-popular post-apocalyptic trope seems a bit unnecessary, but the action at the end promises some bland but surprising imagery and some pretty rad action. Also, who here realized Milo Ventimiglia was still alive?

 Filth to Ashes, Flesh to Dust (Technically September 2011, but I haven’t seen it anywhere)

 
I have no idea what this movie is about except that there are boobs and the acting style resembles that so beautifully highlighted in The Room. Sold. 

Rare Exports (Christmas)



Perhaps you’re wondering how you’re going to spend your Christmas. Let me help you answer that question: watching this.
