“In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.” --- Alfred Hitchcock ::::::::::: MY CRITERIA FOR DISCUSSION ENCOMPASSES THE HORROR GENRE AND BEYOND, SO I USE THE TERM "NIGHTMARE MOVIES".

THE DEVIL INSIDE TRAILER

December 27th 2011 23:22
The Devil Inside
The lovely folk at Paramount have given me an exclusive trailer to a new horror-thriller from the States, but set in Europe, about a woman who becomes involved in a series of unauthorized exorcisms during her mission to discover what happened to her mother, who had allegedly murdered three people during her own exorcism.

Directed by relative newcomer William Brent Bell, The Devil Inside (2012) is his third feature, and his second horror. The cast are relative unknowns (always a drawcard in my books). I'm rather partial to a little demonic possession. This looks to be the nightmare The Last Exorcism (2010) ultimately failed to be.

The movie is causing ripples on imdb.com where it's one of the more anticipated new releases for 2012. It gets released in Australia on February 16. I'm suitably amped and chilled!

Here's the trailer to bait you!

The Human Centipede II promo poster
Monster Pictures in association with Mu-Meson Archives underground cinema are wickedly proud to announce two additional big screen sessions of Tom Six's The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) (2011), the hotly anticipated sequel to The Human Centipede (First Sequence) (2009).

The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) was banned in Britain, then re-submitted and had several minutes cut. It has been cut in America too. But Australian horrorphiles have the rare opportunity to see the movie as the director intended - all morality thrown out the window - before it has to be re-submitted (under duress) for probable censorship!

More than likely this will be your last chance to see the movie in all its full-length heinous glory! Earning instant cult status, this is a foul stench of a nightmare, and one to be reckoned with!

Friday 25th November, late night screening
Doors open 10pm for 10.30pm start, tickets $10/$15

Sunday 27th November
Doors open 7.30pm for 8pm start, tickets $10/$15

Dario Argento
This is the kind of announcement that makes me salivate. It's also the kind of news that has me utterly frustrated that I don't live in Melbourne! Argghh!

The annual Lavazza Italian Film Festival, in conjunction with Cult Vault - a Palace Westgarth cinema program - are proud to present three cult classic Dario Argento movies on the big screen! And you couldn't get three finer examples of this cinematic nightmare magician than Deep Red (1975), Suspiria (1977), and Tenebre (1982

Human Centipede II: Full Sequence
Dutch director Tom Six has achieved suitable notoriety with his promised sequel to The Human Centipede (2010); the British Board of Film Classification has banned The Human Centipede II (2011) outright. Unlike A Serbian Film (2010) which received an “18” certificate, but was cut, Six’s equally transgressive nightmare, but entirely phantasy-based movie has been refused a certificate on the grounds that it can be viewed as “obscene”.

Tom Six has been quick to make a statement in response to this controversial decision (the first ban by the BBFC in two years); “Films fans should be given the choice as to whether they wish to watch it … Thank you BBFC for putting spoilers of my movie on your website and thank you for banning my film in this exceptional way. Apparently I made an horrific horror film, but shouldn’t a good horror film be horrific? It is all fictional. Not real. It is all make-belief. It is art. If people can’t handle or like my movies they just don’t watch them. If people like my movies they have to be able to see it any time, anywhere also in the UK

Here we go again! Into its 58th year and the Sydney Film Festival is stronger than ever. Alright, so the demographic widens each year, but that just means a wider range of movies being presented in the program, more chance your cine taste buds will be rewarded, and the SFF programme this year is very diverse and very exciting. Viva SFF!

Sydney Film Festival 2011
In fact, 161 films from 42 countries. The program claims, amongst other things, “765 deadly bullets, 200 litres of blood, 99 scary moments, 16 silent standoffs, 15 dastardly betrayals, 8 bloody revolutions, and countless tears.” I’m prepared, let there be blood

A Night of Horror 2011 banner
It’s getting to close to one of my favourite times of the year; Sydney’s A Night of Horror International Film Festival! Now in its 5th year and boasting what looks to be the strongest program yet, A Night of Horror is the demon child creation of Dean Bertram and Lisa Mitchell, who, armed with the loyal and talented support of a skeleton crew of horrorphiles, fight arm, tooth and leg, to bring to the big screen as many of the cutting edge, independent, and most interesting horror features and shorts from Australia and abroad, as well as inviting as many of the filmmakers to open up and bleed about their art. It’s one hell of a bloody good time, and a must do for any self-respecting horror movie buff, or horror newbie for that matter.

I have seen numerous movies at A Night of Horror that have become nestled amongst my favourites of the past ten years or so, such as The Broken (2007), The Children (2008), Left Bank (2008), and The Revenant (2008
