Loads of things happened in the world of horror this week; let's take a look!

It seems that this past week got a lot of things happening when it comes to new horror flicks so I figured it was time to dive right in and take a look at what you may or may not know! let's get right down to it.

• "The Human Centipede III" has it's first poster [as seen below] revealed and a full cast list!

 

Like most horror movie fans, I'm into the obscure horror genre and The Human Centipede films are no exception to this rule. From the first installment [which I found was more psychological] to the gritty sequel [which showed audiences EVERYTHING you would have expected from the first movie] Now we have a third, on the way [which is also the finale to the series] The cast which was revealed includes Eric Roberts, Robert LaSardo, Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister, Bree Olson, Tom Six, Dieter Laser [who was the Doctor from the first], and Laurence R. Harvey [who played 'Martin' in the sequel]. This grand finale is considered 100% politically incorrect and has been rumored to take place in a prison with a certain 100+ centipede! holy. fuck.

• "When Animals Dream" is shaping up to be pretty bad ass!

 

As many people know, Let The Right One In is one of my favorite foreign films ever. When Animals Dream seems to be a film that was inspired by Let The Right One In [just replace vampires with werewolves]. Personally, I hope it's equally as good, as the film is about a young girl who is hunted down by those living in her town when it is revealed she is a werewolf.. Filming for When Animals Dream started last month It’s a coming-of-age horror film set in a secluded fishing village of Denmark about a young girl falling in love and discovering she is a werewolf through her mother. At the same time as she gets hunted down by the villagers..

• The 'best' version of the "Oldboy" remake is probably NOT hitting theaters

The plotline revolving around Oldboy is often a confusing one; you either have seen the film and know the story, or you've heard of it, but know nothing about what happens. It seems that the remake version is 104 minutes long. However, it wasn’t always this length – Spike Lee’s initial version of the film was roughly 3 hours. [I know, right? wow..] According to The LA Times, Josh Brolin [who stars in the remake] claims he preferred Spike Lee’s three hour version of the film, which he claimed was “quieter” and more “character-centric” than the version that will released later this month. The Times then [reportedly] asked Brolin what he thought about the end result of the film to which he replied, “I do have opinions, but it’s better to bite my tongue.”

• "Army Of Darkness 2"  had what felt like a billion updates; hopefully I can clear this all up [from what we know so far..]
  

  

As a hardcore fan of the original Evil Dead trilogy, this is getting out of hand pretty fucking fast.. Here’s what we do know; Bruce Campbell just told Erin Darling [watch the video at the link] over this past weekend [the 2nd and 3rd of November]that Army Of Darkness 2 isn’t exactly happening. To use Bruce's exact words: “It’s all internet BS. There’s no reality whatsoever. These random comments slip out of my mouth or Sam Raimi’s mouth, next thing you know, we’re making a sequel.” In my opinion, I'm kind of on the fence. Although I'd love a sequel to an excellent film, [especially with Bruce and Raimi working together again!] I feel that maybe they should leave the film alone [without a sequel]. I agree with Bruce though, he should only play Ash if Sam Raimi directing the film.. those two are the only ones who could pull it off. [personal opinion talking here, feel free to disagree!]

New photos surfaced from Spike Lee's Oldboy remake..

It's no secret that 'Oldboy' is one of my favorite foreign films [read my thoughts on the film here] ever. [next to 'Pan's Labyrinth'] So when I heard about the fact that Spike Lee was gonna remake it, I naturally got offended. Now, I've already in part talked about how I think this remake is actually gonna be pretty insane, and I'm now more curious than upset, but we have to wait til November to find out if they are making the twist at the end the same as the original. [I personally don't believe they'll do it exactly the same due to North American audiences "not being able to handle it"] Up til now, we only had a trailer, and some small hints about this remake, and honestly, I felt some off these 'hints' didn't help us understand anything. [but I suppose that makes sense; so they can build the suspense] However, now newer photos have surfaced, and yes- they're making me much more excited! [thank you Bloody-Disgusting for posting these!]

[For those of you keeping count at home; that IS Samuel L. Jackson..]

[Who is this woman, and how does she tie into the story? we'll find out November 24th!]

The [first] trailer to Spike Lee's Oldboy remake has been released! WATCH IT HERE!

I'm sure many horror fans agree that sometimes foreign films are a lot darker, and even more gorier than [most of] the American ones. One foreign film in particular; Oldboy is a Korean horror/suspense film that is extreme not only for it's content, but for the plot of the story itself. [you can read my spoiler-filled thoughts of Oldboy here] One thing about Oldboy is that it's got a lot of graphic topics being covered that I, feel would only suit in a Korean film. [for those of you who have seen the film, you know what I'm talking about.] Oldboy was in fact an adaptation of the graphic novel written by Garon Tsuchiya and illustrated by Nobuaki Minegishi and is the cult film that gave director Chan-Wook Park his name in the movie business. The film is about a man who is set free after 15 years of imprisonment by a mysterious character, who then gives his victim a only few days to figure out the reason for this horrific “punishment” [and even then, that's nothing compared to the twist at the very end of the film] What gave the film it's popularity is probably [as I'm convinced] because of its brutal nature, plot twists and most of all, it's examination of the dark side of human emotions. Naturally, being an older film, [and Hollywood being out of ideas] It came time that this Korean cult classic was needing to be remade! [I know, I'm kind of skeptical, myself.]

[just think; rather than Min-sik Choi- as seen above- this time it's Josh Brolin who's being cast into the hellish world known as "Oldboy"]

———————————————————————————–

 However, in what feels like a million years later, the trailer has finally surfaced [was released today in fact!] and although some are worried, I'm actually feeling kind of confident now that I've seen it's red-band trailer. Looking at the trailer though, Spike Lee’s take on the classic is [as he intially promised] "just as grimy and graphic" as Park’s had in mind when he made his version back in 2005, and it seems that this version of the film goes far and beyond to recreate many of the shocking moments from the original Oldboy. In fact, if you look carefully enough- some of the scenes in the trailer look to be even more gruesome than the original! Whether or not you choose to enjoy the idea of a remake of what I feel is a classic in cinema, is up to you. Although I love the original, I figure maybe it is time for Americans [who aren't aware of the original] to step into the dark & twisted world of Oldboy. Here, you can watch the trailer for the remake, and as you can see [which is what's got me excited] the hallway fight scene from the original will be incorporated in the remake [but in my opinion, no one can do it like Min-sik Choi!] and was that Samuel L Jackson I saw?!

 

[Josh Brolin- left | Min-sik Choi- right. who played the character better? Guess we'll have to wait and see the film for a final say.. Opinions?]
