"Wolfman" Reboot Get's Official Title & DVD Release With Trailer Plus Images!

Universal's small direct-2-DVD reboot of the 1940's "The Wolfman" and the 2010 remake has finally been given an official title, release date and a first wee teaser trailer. I personally think that this is a pointless reboot now. I first I thought why not, let's see what they can do now. Then I found out it wasn't a full reboot of the 2010 well reboot/remake, but more of a remake of the lost film, "The Wolfman's Revenge" from 1947. It's more of a hunting film than a classic werewolf horror. It's pointless to make a horror franchise and reboot it into an action type werewolf thriller as it says in the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qyIZN-43NM
I for one was quite happy with the Benicio Del Toro remake/reboot. It was a true horror gore fest. Of course it was more extreme than the 40's classic, but it was a brilliant new version of the Universal classic. This is nothing like any of "The Wolfman" films, past or present. It's like "The Wolfman" is "Alien" and this is "Aliens", a sequel, but more action-packed than horror..........kind of like the "Underworld" franchise. It's try too hard to be a stand-alone werewolf "Underworld" based film. And the main guys trying to be the Van Helsing of the film. Not happening people.

Overall, it looks ok, but not great. It's more of a TV movie, like something on SyFy, shite but you want to watch it just so you can say that you've seen it now. Not a good sign though! I just hope Universal go back to the drawing board and make a true werewolf classic again like the old days or the 2010 remake/reboot.

A charm-filled chat with Tom Savini

Another day, another documentary, and this time, it's the horror maestro, Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, Friday The 13th, all the good horror effects. Shame on you if you didn't know him!), with Horror Effects with Tom Savini!


This comes from a videotape from the early 90s, around the filming of Two Evil Eyes (an awful lot of Savini behind the scenes seems to come from then!), and is hosted by Night of the Living Dead scribe John Russo, though it is a very casual piece and Russo is more hanging with Savini than anything else. The video opens with a warning of behind the scenes footage that will not be up to Hollywood standard and we are treated to lame-tastic credits, but the entire charm of this 40 minute excursion is its casualness. Savini's daughter, in face-paint, is wandering around the workroom where they film, and the conversation is all very friendly and feels like it is between friends.


So, as a follow-up to yesterdays Masters of Horror, enjoy a behind the scenes video with the amazing Tom Savini!

A heartfelt documentary to horror

Youtube has been throwing so many brilliant horror documentaries at me, I have to start sharing them. Let's begin with a brilliant TV special called Masters of Horror (not connected with the TV series), hosted by horror legend Bruce Campbell.


Documentaries like this tend to be very superficial and fluff-based, but this one, though not exactly hard-hitting or controversial, gives plenty of insight into many of the most famous horror directors, and the insight in a brilliant love-letter to the horror genre. 


Several directors show just a pure passion for it, and those who might have given the impression they were unhappy with the label on occasion (George Romero and Wes Craven always stand out) set it straight here with interesting and intelligent views.


It also acts as a bit of a behind the scenes in an unexpected way on certain films, namely Wes Craven's The Serpent and The Rainbow (horribly underrated voodoo film) and a lot of love is given to John Carpenter's They Live.


If you have any interest in horror, or wonder how the heck people can be so in to it, then this documentary will give you a brilliant insight into one of the most analytically genres there is.


Also, the way it is shot and edited makes every incredible horror effect ever part of an insane texture montage that makes me excited for footage I had never thought was anything special. 


Enjoy!

Watch Videodrome online now (probably for a limited time)

I'm not quite sure what the status of the legality of all the full length movies that have begun appearing on YouTube is, but I would be doing people wrong by not point you to David Cronenberg's underrated masterpiece; Videodrome.


Even if the video below is deleted, do yourself a favour and go buy this film now (preferably the amazing Criterion Collection DVD) as it is a film that was not only ahead of its time, but is still pretty heavy with ingenious moral game play and visual amazement. It is an incredible film not to be missed.


And if you needed anymore encouragement; male vagina.
