I thought about doing the standard best of 2009 where I talk about moving films like Precious, and other Oscar buzz-worthy films that most will never see. Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of boring period pieces, so how could I even sit through those films that most aren't even going to go see in the first place? Anyways, i cannot gush enough about how much I love horror films. the following are films I couldn't get enouigh of this year. Note: Some of the following films were released in the theaters and some straight to DVD.
1.)Zombieland
2.)My Bloody Valentine (3D)
3.)Trick r treat
4.)Eden Lake
5.)Friday the 13th
6.)The Hills Run Red
7.)Carriers
8.)The House of the Devil
9.)Train
10.)Drag Me to Hell
11.)Halloween 2
12.)Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
13.)Orphan
14.)Martyrs
15.)The Thaw
The following films are movies everyone whould keep an eye out for within the next year:
1.) Season of the Witch - Starring Nicolas Cage and Christopher Lee, this is not a remake of Halloween 3. The film stars Cage as a knight strapped with the task to deliver a witch - accused of starting the plague - to a remote location to destroy her powers. one of my favorite genre character actors Ron Perlman also stars.(March 19)
2.) Buried - Ryan Reynolds plays a contractor in Iraq who's captured and subsequently thrown into a coffin and buried alive. I like Ryan Reynolds alot, and really hope this indie horror does really well for him. (Sometime in 2010)
3.) Piranha 3D - I have been hearing so much about this film throughout 2009, i cannot wait until it is released finally. Alex Aja (The Hills Have Eyes, high Tension) has remade the 1978 jaws rip-off about ravenous, government-created mutant fish picking off swimmers. Only this time, the fish are prehistoric cannibals instead of man-made.
The original was directed by Joe Dante and the remake stars Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott, Ving Rhames, Richard Dreyfuss, Dina Meyer, Brooklynn Proulx, Quinn Lord, Riley Steele, Jessica Szohr, Jerry O'Connell, Paul Scheer, Cody Longo and Riley Steele.(April 16)
4.) My Soul to Take - At one point the film was called 25/8, and this is also Wes Cravens first film since Red Eye (awesome film). The story is about a serial killer who stalks a small town and vows to return to kill seven children born the night he dies. Flash forward many years later and said tykes are now in their teens. the film has been finished since 2008, which has me worried a bit. Trick r' treat received the same treatment, but was finally released on DVD back in October. Stars Max Thieriot, Zena Grey, Denzel Whitaker. (Spring 2010).
5.) Predators - Before Sin City and Planet Terror, director Robert Rodriguez cooked up an idea about another Predator sequel, setting it on the alien's home planet. because studios weren't willing to risk alot of money on it, they put it on the backburner and focused on the Alien Vs. Predator franchise. Years later Rodriguez has come back to the project, this time as producer. Nimrod Antal is directing with a cast that includes Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, Laurence Fishburne, Walton Goggins and Alice Braga. While both AVP sequels failed to ignite audiences, and the last predator sequel was an epic fail, I'm really pulling for Rodriguez to save this franchise. he does have an amazing track record with such awesome genre films like Planet Terror, Sin City, From Dusk til Dawn, and the Spy kids series, I'm sure with Rodriguez as producer he'll keep the upcoming reboot on the right track. P.S. What ever happened to the Red Sonja film he was working on with former fiancee Rose McGowan? (July 7, 2010)
