After watching this trailer, I’m all giggly and my eyes are watery. This means one of two things. Either I’m allergic to it or I really, really want to see it.
I wonder if there really was a darker subtext to Rugrats that I just wasn’t able to see as a youngster. Either way, this is the most gloriously demented video I’ve seen in a while and I couldn’t love it more. Such a cool cast and an amazing eye for detail.
If it were advertising a real, feature-length film, I’d be there… a few times over. *notices awkward stares from surrounding peers* Hey, shut up!
Now I’m depressed! Not really, but I am called to re-examine my priorities when it’s taken into account that Emily Hagins, the writer/director of the above horror comedy, is only 17 years old. Not only that - this girl emerged onto the scene when she was 12 and became a starlet of the film festival circuit at 14 when the 2009 documentary Zombie Girl chronicled her rise to fame.
Is My Sucky Teen Romance a film I’m chomping at the bit to see? Not quite. Still, the girl undoubtedly has cinematic chops and a knack for witty dialogue, so I’m anxious to see where she ends up in her career.
If you dare view The Innkeepers as anything even resembling typical, you obviously know nothing of the cinematic genius that is writer/director Ti West. The man is a master of suspense and puts even the bravest and most knowledgeable of horror fans to shame. Think you know what’s coming from around that corner or from under that floorboard? Perhaps… but you’ve only got the half of it!
I for one am excited as can be for this armrest-clencher of a scarefest that hits theaters in early February. Who’s with me?
After MGM’s bankruptcy caused it to sit on the shelf for over 2 years, The Cabin in the Woods is finally being distributed by genre saviors Lionsgate, and I couldn’t be happier. Finally, Drew Goddard (writer of Cloverfield) and Joss Whedon (Buffy, Firefly, like you don’t already know who he is) can rejoice as audiences take in their inventive mindfuck of a horror film. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a trailer so jam-packed with spoilerific awesomeness that still tells me not so much about what’s going on in the film it’s advertising, and that’s a good frikkin’ thing. April 13th can’t come fast enough.
