Unsettling and Excessive Violence in 'Serbian...
I actually watched the trailer for this one a while back and kind of lost track of it. But thanks to the good folks over at Twitch, my interest has peaked once again, and I’ve discovered that the ultra-violent and destined-to-be-controversial Serbian Film will have its American debut at SXSW. Go figure. I doubt Sundance would have allowed such a maniacal looking film, and even Slamdance may...
Proper Trailer For Aaron Katz's 'Cold Weather'
SXSW 2010 is just around the corner, and all the good trailers are just now coming out, giving us a taste of what to expect from one of the country’s biggest annual festivals.

Bruno Forzani and Helene Cattet have crafted what looks like one of the most awesome and stylized horror films to come out in years, and now there is yet another...
Sweet Poster and First Trailer For Horror Flick ‘Nightscape’
I found this little guy over at QuietEarth today. While the trailer is definitely impressive, with some fantastic visuals and awesome effects, the acting (what little is shown) is atrocious. I can let that go though, some of my favorite films have horrific acting and ended up being some of the most disturbing things...
Fresh Footage From Giallo Flick ‘Amer’
The giallo cult is a European phenomenon dating all the way back to the early 60s. The slick and stylish camerawork and excessive bloodletting of the early giallo films defined an entire genre, and the mood and tone of these psychological horror flicks were usually just as important as the stories themselves. Last year at Sitges, young...
