Eat My Shorts: Creeping Up on You

Filed under: Horror », Independent », Shorts », Eat My Shorts! », Cinematical Indie »




This week's "Eat My Shorts" selections are all just a little creepy, in one way or another. Some of the short films are about ghosts or the supernatural, one is about a very creepy demon indeed, and one is about what we might call our inner demons. It doesn't matter if you're watching these movies on a computer monitor at your desk or a laptop at a coffeehouse, and that the film you're watching is in the size of a Post-It note. The moods and tones are still palpable -- sweet, scary, or just plain fascinating.

Thanks to everyone who sent me links in past couple of weeks, either to their own short films or to films online that they saw and enjoyed. Please keep those links coming -- send links to your favorite short films to shorts AT cinematical DOT com, so I can gather and watch a new batch of films to recommend to you next time. You'll find this week's creepy-themed films after the jump.

I'm Teasing Up a Black Christmas

Filed under: Horror », MGM », The Weinstein Co. », Remakes and Sequels »

One of the very few good movies that Bob Clark can claim to have directed is the 1974 holiday chiller Black Christmas, a film that's been accurately cited as one of the original inspirations for what's now known as the American Slasher Renaissance. Long before Jason grabbed an axe, Freddy sharpened his claws and Mikey hacked his big sister to death, there was a sorority house full of kids who were hacked up solid over Christmas break.

And yeah, you heard about it a while ago: MGM & Dimension decided that the flick was worthy of a remake, so they hired the two-man filmmaking unit that is Glen Morgan & James Wong (aka the guys who brought you Final Destination, The One and Willard) and ogled a late December release date. The original Black Christmas starred Margot Kidder, Olivia Hussey, Keir Dullea, John Saxon and Andrea Martin. The new version features the likes of Michelle Trachtenberg, Katie Cassidy, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Lacey Chabert and ... Andrea Martin.

So I'm taking bets now, horror fans: Go watch the new teaser and then answer this question: Will this be one of those good remakes (Chainsaw, Dawn, Hills) or one of the other (Amityville, Fog, Wax) ones?
