Hey Freakers, the weathers nice here in Murder City Adelaide so I thought I’d touch base with you all. Sun, birds singing, children laughing, everyone happy! Spring weather is shit when you’ve been trying to write a nasty, seedy movie of insanity and depravity, filthy, stench and blood. I must wait for the night to fall to retreat into my characters soiled brains and continue…

Maniac! (1980) Review

Posted by on | Leave a Comment

With all the fervor and controversy brewing around Monster Pictures’ upcoming release of Maniac! starring Elijah Wood, I thought I’d share with you my zany video review of the original 1980 version of the film. This review is one of several that I did for the first season of my web series, Watch These Films. The second season of W.T.F. is now in production and will air in September!

Is a SPAWN remake happening?

Posted by on | Leave a Comment

One film we probably can all agree on that needs a remake is SPAWN. The comic series had a film in the mid-90’s where comic book adaptations were generally very poor and it was not at all well received.

So is a reboot in the works? Well according to Todd McFarlane it definitely is in the cards!

SPAWN

McFarlane has stated that he has made a deal in which he would write, produce and direct the reboot of SPAWN. The budget should be decent and they could get a known name on board to star.

He said that he sees it […]

Wait, now 12 MONKEYS could be a TV show?

Posted by on | Leave a Comment

Why is it that every week I am reporting about another film (or film series) being turned into a TV show? What the hell is going on?

The latest … Yeah Terry Gilliam’s 12 MONKEYS! I am not joking, this is real.

SyFy, yes the people behind the likes of all those cheap and silly new wave monster films have actually greenlit a 12 MONKEYS pilot. The pilot will be produced by Universal Cable Productions and Atlas Entertainment.

12monkeys

The pilot will be based on the film, with production on the 60 minute venture set to begin in November, with a […]

Take a slice out of Manuel Martin Cuenca’s CANNIBAL

Posted by on | Leave a Comment

For fans of the Cannibal genre that doesn’t always have to involve Italian Jungle folies. You will be interested to know that Spanish director Manuel Martín Cuenca, the bloke behind the excellent 2003 film WEAKNESS OF THE BOLSHEVIK and the not so good HALF OF OSCAR, has a new film just completed called strangely enough CANNIBAL (Caníbal).

cannibal-still

Details are limited but the story seems to be about a tailor who moonlights as a killer. He meets up with a woman and their sexual passions are awakened and perhaps their passion for consuming flesh. Sounds like ASSAULT! JACK THE RIPPER with […]

THE STAND is off to find a new director

Posted by on | Leave a Comment

With Ben Affleck or as I like to now call him The Batfleck, going to be busy for the foreseeable future with the SUPERMAN/BATMAN film, he will no longer be able to direct a new film version of THE STAND.

That is too bad, I was looking forward to seeing what his vision would be for that, but alas it was not meant to be. The film is now without a director, and the word on the street is that the director of CRAZY HEART Scott Cooper has been approached for it and is currently in talks.

I don’t mind […]
