Well, the news continues to flow and I continue to bring the goodies. There are some really promising projects in the works and I hope you're all as excited as I am to get some original horror! Read on for the skinny folks.
You're Next - Bloody Disgusting broke some exclusive news earlier that 80's scream queen and horror icon Barbara Crampton ( Re-animator, From Beyond and Puppet Master) has taken a role in You're Next, which is said to be a fresh take on the home invasion sub-genre.
In addition, Snoot Entertainment announced the rest of the cast that includes Sharni Vinson (Bait), Nick Tucci (Undocumented, Choose), Wendy Glenn (11-11-11), AJ Bowen (House of the Devil, Hatchet II, The Signal), Ti West (director of The Innkeepers, House of the Devil, The Roost), Calvin Reeder (director of The Oregonian)
The Davison family comes under attack from a terrifying group of sadistic murderers during a family reunion getaway. Barricaded in their secluded vacation home, they fight off a barrage of axes, crossbows and machetes from both inside and outside the house. However, the masked killers didn't count on Erin (Vinson), the young girlfriend of the eldest Davison son whose mysterious past has made her very difficult to kill."
While the premise doesn't sound that "fresh" it'll be interesting to see this legendary 80's icon back in action!
Red Lights - Director Rodrigo Cortes (Buried) has been releasing some info on his upcoming project Red Lights as well as releasing a promo poster (Which I will valiantly try to track down for you.) I really liked Buried for what it was; a tense thriller that knew how to play off of human emotions and the simple fear of isolation and the unknown. His newest effort boasts a stellar cast comprised of Robert DeNiro, Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy!
Lights turns on a psychologist, played by Weaver, and her assistant whose study of paranormal activity leads them to investigate a world-renowned psychic (De Niro).
I, Frankenstein - Stuart Beattie, who wrote both 30 Days of Night and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, has signed on to I, Frankenstein as writer and director. This means that Patrick Tatopoulos (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, Face/Off) is no longer attached.
I, Frankenstein' pictures a modern-day world where the classic literary monster stands between humans and a host of other supernatural creatures looking to rise up and take over." Grevioux co-created Underworld, also produced by Lakeshore, so at least he's familiar with the genre and subject matter.
