Oh, The Horror (Trailers): 'Orphan,' 'Sorority Row,' and One Crazy Candymaker

It seems that a couple of horror trailers slipped through the proverbial cracks last week, so let's catch up, shall we? For starters, there's the creepy-kid thriller Orphan, in which Vera Farmiga apparently learns no lessons from Joshua and takes in an unusually mature girl with a knack for fatal shenanigans. We've embedded this and the other two trailers after the jump. Orphan opens on July 24th.Next up is October's slasher remake, Sorority Row, in which a prank goes wrong and the girls who covered it up start getting picked off one by one. Come to think of it, I guess some kids haven't grown up on I Know What You Did Last Summer by this point, but hey, the tweens tend to turn out in droves for anything Carrie Fisher touches.
Last and certainly not least (probably my personal favorite of the bunch) is Funny or Die's mock trailer for Gobstopper, in which a crazed candy maker (played by a scary-perfect Christopher Lloyd) terrorizes Martha "Superbad" MacIssac and friends. I'm sorry to report that there's no word on domestic distribution yet, because I'm pretty sure that I'd rather sit through a full version of this than either of the two above.
Watch Out for 'The Thaw'!
Filed under: Independent », Thrillers », Casting », Cinematical Indie »
We've been warned about global warming. The weather is a-changing. The polar icecaps will melt away. The world as we know it will change forever. But maybe it's not for the reasons we think ... We've got a new cautionary environmental tale on the way, but this time, it's in the realms of thriller territory. The Thaw is coming -- where the melting of the polar ice caps releases something creepy.And now The Hollywood Reporter posts that Aaron Ashmore has signed on for a gig in the film, which is already starring Martha MacIsaac and Val Kilmer. If you've watched Veronica Mars, you'll remember Aaron as the seemingly nice O-niner Troy Vandergraff, whose secrets made Veronica none too happy. (Or Jimmy Olsen, if you're a Smallville fan.) Now he's playing a college student who is part of an Arctic research crew besieged by a killer parasite that has come from the depths of the polar ice caps.
This ditty comes from the team behind Ill Fated, Michael Lewis and Mark A. Lewis, with the latter directing the feature. Production begins in Vancouver today.
