Saw VI

We watched this movie last night with Aaron and Ashley. I have to say that I was so pleased with this film. The story flowed well and the acting was top-notch. Tobin Bell played another huge role in this installment through the avenue of flashbacks. There was a much better way of making sure we knew when the flashbacks took place then in other Saw movies. Jigsaw is an "awesome" serial killer. He brings to the genre a whole new side to the purpose of a serial killer. He never physically kills anyone, but he puts his victims in the position of choosing life or death. Is it revenge that makes Jigsaw do what he does? Yes. However, he does give them hope of living if they pass their test/game. Saw VI answered many questions from several of the other movies. Without giving any details, this movie was well done all the way around. The games were very interesting and the props were innovative. All in all, this was a great movie whether you are a Saw fan or not. You really would want to see all the Saw movies before watching this one. It is a series that ties loose ends with every new movie. It left itself open for another one, and I am very pleased about that. Check out the trailer below and give this movie a watch!

THE GRAVES

Another look at the After Dark Horror Fest coming out at the end of this month. The Graves is an interesting look at two sisters trying to survive a bunch of lunitics in Skull City, AZ. I watched The Devil's Rejects last night and love that movie because it is out there and Bill Moseley is in it. Moseley is in The Graves and brings his craziness to this film. Also, Tony Todd has a role... I loved him in Candyman and also the Final Destination movies. He brings a creepiness to every role I've seen him play. There's always a chance that most of these Horror Fest movies will not be that good, but the few that are good will be really good. Check out the trailer and visit the Horror Fest web site for more information! Looks like good stuff!

THE GRAVES
Written & Directed by Brian Pulido

Synopsis:
On their last weekend together, Megan and Abby Graves are lost in a remote part of the Arizona desert where they are lured to Skull City Mine, an abandoned mine town. But they soon learn Skull City is anything but abandoned — and there’s no way out.

The sisters are now prey, forced to unleash their most primitive instincts in a desperate, all-out battle for survival against unspeakable horrors — both human and supernatural.

Can they unlock the terrifying secrets of Skull City in time to save themselves or will they become the latest in a long line of victims?

Stars:
Clare Grant, Jillian Murray, Bill Moseley, Lamb of God singer D. Randall Blythe and Tony Todd.

Dread 2010...

I have always enjoyed the anticipation of The After Dark Horrorfest release. I have seen so many of them and for the most part, many have been very good. The problem has been that several are nothing more than "B" horror. Autopsy, The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations, From Within, Borderland, The Deaths of Ian Stone, The Abandoned, The Gravedancers, Unrest, and Wicked Little Things, have been some of my favorites over the years. It's a viable series and worth taking note of... whether several are somewhat lame or not. Clive Barker is godlike to me in the horror genre. Hellraiser has my favorite horror charater in Pinhead. I have seen all 8 of the Hellraiser movies and the first 3 were the best. The other 5 were "OK", but not up to the standard of Clive Barker. Pinhead pulls all these movies together, but they should have given him more screen time.

The Books of Blood, by Clive Barker are interesting and highly entertaining. Midnight Meat Train was awesome! After seeing the trailer and reading the synopsis, I am very eager to see this film. Dread is based on our fears and that concept is exciting. Check out the trailer and look for this movie this month!

DREAD
Logline:
Dread, the second in the Book of Blood franchise is a stylish horror/thriller about three college students working on a documentary for school focusing on what others dread in life.

Synopsis:
Red-hot young star Jackson Rathbone, fresh from the smash film TWILIGHT SAGA and the upcoming THE LAST AIRBENDER, stars in the stylish horror/thriller DREAD. Stephen (RATHBONE) and Cheryl (Laura Donnelly, INSATIABLE) are college students making a documentary about what people dread in life. But they have no idea that their partner Quaid (Shaun Evans, BOY A, TELSTAR), witnessed his parents being murdered by an axe-wielding lunatic and wants to make others experience his own personal horror. The three set out to document people revealing their life’s most terrifying moments. But Quaid quickly grows bored with mere interviews and decides to take the study to a much more visceral level, causing all three to become vulnerable as they reveal their fears in front of the camera. Just as Stephen and Cheryl realize they have partnered with a madman, they also find themselves subjects of the hideous experiment they brought to life… learning more about fear and dread than any human mind can stand. Clive Barker, the Godfather of modern horror/fantasy and the creator of the Hellraiser and Candyman Series, produced DREAD. His protégé Anthony DiBlasi, co-producer of the upcoming HELLRAISER and executive producer on BOOK OF BLOOD and MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN, masterfully directs DREAD, the second film in the terrifying BOOK OF BLOOD franchise, with mind-blowing special effects from Artem (TROY, TOMB RAIDER 2). For millions of horror fans worldwide, there will be no greater dread than missing this landmark of terror.

Cast:
Jackson Rathbone, Shaun Evans, Laura Donnelly, Hanne Steen

Director:
Anthony DiBlasi
