Discuss: The Art of Trailering

Yesterday, Eric D. Snider mentioned an interesting exercise by The New Republic's Christopher Orr. Annoyed at the recent glut of trailers that give away the entire film, he decided to write a review of 21 (which hits theaters today) based only on the trailer. Eric thought the "review" was actually pretty accurate, and I agree. I also agree that the trailer is egregiously inconsiderate of people who'd have liked to go into the movie unspoiled at least as to the third act. It's a shame.

But I'm sure you agree that it doesn't have to be that way. Trailers don't have to give away the game, and they don't have to be tacky and ham-fisted either. They're a marketing tool, of course, but trailers are also -- or can be -- an art form in their own right. Sometimes a trailer is such a skillful composition of images, sounds, words and music that it winds up having more of an effect on me than the movie I'm in the theater to see. (Often, too, the trailer turns out to be better than the movie it's advertising, which is always a disappointment.)

So while yesterday Eric asked you for examples of trailers that pissed you off because they revealed too much, I'd like to know which recent trailers you've loved. Not necessarily which ones you think advertised their movie in the optimal way, but which ones have been great in themselves -- scary, rousing, moving, beautiful. Take a look at some of my favorites and sound off after the jump.

Tobe Hooper to Direct 'From a Buick 8'

Posted Oct 11th 2007 4:32PM by Jessica Barnes
Filed under: Horror, Casting, Deals, Newsstand

Seems like everyone wants to take a stab at filming a Stephen King adaptation lately. Although my guess is that the smart money is still on Frank Darabont's The Mist. But that doesn't mean that any other King project is doomed to end up on one of James' lists. Variety reports that Tobe Hooper has been hired to direct the big-screen version of From a Buick 8. This is King's second 'killer car' story, the first being Christine back in 1983. Buick centers on the recollections of the members of Troop D, a police barracks in western Pennsylvania. After *a young boy is is killed, his father becomes obsessed with the origins of a mysterious Buick 8 left in the town one night by a mysterious man in black (is there any other kind?).

But for those of you out there who can't get the ridiculous image of Keith Gordon being chased down the street by a 1958 Plymouth Fury out of your heads, there is no danger of this film going off the rails into camp territory. Hooper tells Variety, "From a Buick 8" will not be "your stock horror film by any means. There's a really cool, layered quality to the story." Hooper is best known for directing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre back in 1974, but this will be a far cry from the blood and gore of leather-face. Actor-writer Johnathon Schaech and Richard Chizmar were in charge of adapting Buick for the screen and the flick will be produced by Chesapeake Films along with long-time King collaborator Mick Garris.

Correction: It is the son who goes looking for his father's murderer, not the other way around.

Wes Craven Names His Five Favorite Horror Movies

Marcus Nispel to Tackle Charles Manson

Posted Mar 1st 2007 11:33AM by Scott Weinberg
Filed under: Drama, Horror

German filmmaker Marcus Nispel became acquainted with the horror freaks when he directed the surprisingly solid Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake a few years back. Since then he's been working on his "Vikings vs. Native Americans" epic Pathfinder, which has had more release dates than Mike Tyson. But according to those wonderful monsters over at Fangoria, we now have the scoop on Mr. Nispel's next three projects.

1. An adaptation of American McGee's cult classic video game Alice for Universal, which we're told will star Sarah Michelle Gellar in the title role.

2. A subterranean monster movie called Sublevel -- which sounds completely up my alley.

3. Most intriguing of all would be the second collaboration between Nispel and Texas screenwriter Scott Kosar: a Charles Manson movie. Yes, there have been several (including the one everybody's seen: the very well-regarded 1976 TV movie Helter Skelter), but this director seems to have a firm approach to the story: "Almost all of those films are told from a legal point of view, or what you'd hear in a trial. So the thing you have to do is look at it from an emotional angle: Whose eyes are we seeing this through who is not a cop or a judge? Scott found a very interesting point of view from an insider. Personally, I've always been partial to an approach similar to Paul Schrader's Hardcore."

So now let the speculation begin: Whom would you cast as Charles Manson? I'm no casting director, but for some reason Billy Crudup just popped into my head. I'll stick with that pick.

Tips for Tuesday: New to DVD on January 16

Posted Jan 16th 2007 8:03AM by Scott Weinberg
Filed under: New on DVD, Home Entertainment

January's still being pretty skimpy with the DVD treats. This week we get another slob comedy, another football movie, another action movie, another slasher flick and another video-shelf sequel to a movie that nobody really enjoyed all that much in the first place. So please, friends, rent before you buy.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning -- So here we have a prequel to a remake of a classic, and the law of diminishing returns is in full effect. What we were promised -- a dark and nasty tale of Leatherface's icky origins -- is relegated to a sketchy prologue, and the rest of the movie is sub-standard slasher fare in every sense of the term. Points to the team for doling out the gory stuff, but with characters like this (and a pace this glacial) there's very little reason to care who gets sliced and when. Still, the mega-rabid R. Lee Ermey is always good for a few goofy laughs. Extras on the unrated edition include a producer/director audio commentary, a 46-minute 'making of' documentary, four deleted scenes and three alternate endings.

Platinum Dunes to Produce a Movie That's Not a Remake

Posted Jan 6th 2007 9:00PM by Scott Weinberg
Filed under: Horror, Remakes and Sequels

So far the company known as Plantium Dunes, which is run by flashy director dude Michael Bay, has produced three movies: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. Ah, and they have The Hitcher due in two weeks. That's three remakes and a prequel to a remake ... which I don't really count as an "original" concept.

But according to Bloody-Disgusting.com, Bay and producing partner Andrew Form have a nasty thriller on the way called The Horsemen. In this one, Dennis Quaid will play a detective gone sour after his wife's untimely demise, only to come across some terror of truly "biblical" proportions. (Hint: The (Four) Horsemen ... of the Apocalypse?) Quaid's the man, of course, and the story sounds pretty nifty, but The Horsemen was written by the guy who did Doom and directed by the guy who helmed the patently unwatchable Spun ... so this one's a total crap-shoot. But at least it's not a remake. Plus they got Zhang Ziyi to co-star, and that's always a smart thing to do.

Also on the Platinum docket are something "brutal" called Alone, that oft-discussed remake of The Birds and ... absolutely no chance of another Texas Chainsaw Massacre entry. Which is just fine by me.

Bill O'Reilly Wants to Ban Horror Movies (and is a Moron)

Posted Nov 3rd 2006 12:30PM by Scott Weinberg
Filed under: Horror

You know Bill O'Reilly? That stuffed shirt knee-jerk reactionist / sexual harrassment expert? Yeah, that guy. Well, Bill has finally discovered that there's a thing out there called A Horror Movie, and get this: He wants to ban them. Yep, O'Reilley threatens to "look into it" at the tail-end of this moronic video clip in which some wifty psychologist and some puritan author spend about six minutes boo-hoo-hooing over the shameless gruesome nastiness of movies like Saw, Hostel and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Look out, Lionsgate! Bill O'Reilly plans to "look into" horror movies and, I guess, put a stop to the durn things, consarnit! Stockholders beware!

Words like "sickening" are tossed around the studio as the three overwhelmingly ill-informed hand-wringers ramble on, poorly covering a subject that they know nothing about. O'Reilly even states that this type of horror "could never have happened in America ten years ago," blissfully ignorant to the fact that gore flicks have been around since (at least) the days of Herschell Gordon Lewis. (Like, the 1960s!)

Billy's guests are Dr. Virginia Klein, "a psychotherapist," and James Hirsen, the smug author of a book called Hollywood Nation -- a book that has a piece of effusive front-cover blurbage from none other than Michael Medved. (As if that's a person you want praise from.) So obviously Bill is really interested in covering both sides of the Horror Movie argument. Sheesh. Klein seems to claim that the only people who like Saw 3 are those who "are on tranquilizers" or "like toys." (Don't feel bad; I don't have any idea what she's talking about either.) Dr. Klein ends up a total wiffle-ball washout, and here's why: The "psychology" of horror flicks is so simple that I don't even feel the need to explain it here -- but she STILL gets it completely wrong! She blathers and blithers for a few minutes before Billy Boy shoots it on over to Mr. Hirsen, the "Hollywood Insider." Ahem.

Cinematical Seven: The Worst Horror Films Of All Time

Posted Oct 30th 2006 12:01PM by chris ullrich
Filed under: Horror, Cinematical Seven, Remakes and Sequels

Halloween is almost upon us, and you know what that means: People like me are busy compiling their lists of horror films that did something or didn't do something or just plain suck. Not to be left out, I have worked diligently to produce the following list of the seven horror films that I deem the bad of the bad, the worst of the worst and the crap of the crap of all time.

When taking a look at this list, please try to bear in mind that this is my list and therefore reflects my delicate sensibilities (or lack thereof). Plus, as some of you may know, I have an intense dislike for directors who feel compelled to remake, or even worse "re-imagine," classic horror films. Almost without exception these bastard children tend to be pale imitations of their originals. In fact, can we just strike "re-imagine" from the lexicon of cinema right now and have it never be used again?

Also, as I'm sure will be made abundantly clear shortly, this list is by no means complete. Tastes vary as much as Ben Affleck's acting or Lindsey Lohan's choice of boyfriends, so many films that may deserve to appear on this list will not. I know there are more -- and I know you will have your own picks, so limber up those fingers, hit the comments and tell us your thoughts.

Now, come closer to your monitor and let's roll it.

Blood Sucking Freaks (aka The Incredible Torture Show) (1976) - Director (if you can call him that) Joel M. Reed's "film" (if you can call it that) does everything wrong that it possibly could. It's stupid, pointless and on top of that, patently offensive -- even to me and I'm a huge, huge horror fan. Blood and gore don't bother me either, especially if they are used in the right way. Of course "right way" and this piece of crap parted ways long, long ago.

Don't misunderstand me, It's not that I dislike this film, I hate it. Anyone associated with this movie should never be allowed to work in the business again. Plus, all copies of this piece o' shi-ite should be burned in a massive bonfire -- along with every copy of Paris Hilton's Paris. I know, Mr. Reed made one other film after this one -- the equally useless Night of the Zombies. But since then, thankfully, he has not been heard from again. Good riddance, I say, and please take uber-hack Uwe Boll with you. I think you guys would really hit it off.

More of my list after the jump.

Future-Kill Arrives on DVD

Posted Oct 5th 2006 1:02PM by Matt Bradshaw
Filed under: Horror, New Releases, Home Entertainment

With the Halloween season nearly upon us, and with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (the sequel to the remake of the Tobe Hooper classic) about to hit theaters, the timing seems right for the DVD release of this prime slice of 80s cheese. I've never had the chance to see this one, but it was constantly available on tape back in they heyday of VHS. Arriving on October 31, Future-Kill makes its first-ever appearance on DVD from Subversive Cinema.

This 1985 flick is a post-apocalyptic thriller from a time when -- in the wake of the Mad Max films -- the B movie landscape was littered with these types of films. Here's the synopsis from Subversive's website: "A tragic nuclear testing accident has created an entire underclass of affected humans. And a band of unthinking frat boys decide to abduct one such person from the barren ghetto where the victims of nuclear fallout live. However, the violent de facto leader of a mutant gang (Edwin Neal) decides to take advantage by killing his rival and blaming them for the death, forcing them on an all-night run to save their lives and clear their name...and perhaps get a better understanding for how 'the other half' lives."

Fantastic Fest: The Photoblog

In between watching movies at Fantastic Fest, meeting a bunch of new people, watching more movies, drinking too many of Alamo Drafthouse's chocolate milkshakes, and trying to find wireless internet connections, I took a few photos around the festival.



All the Fantastic Fest films were screened at the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar. Two of the festival's organizers, Paul Alvarado-Dykstra and Tim McCanlies, told me that they were inspired to pitch the festival idea to Alamo founder Tim League when the six-screen South Lamar location opened in early 2005. They loved the idea of a film festival that took place in a single location, so you didn't have to worry about driving around town to several different venues, finding parking, and trying to figure out how to find time to eat (Alamo serves meals). They were successful: Fantastic Fest was one of the least stressful film festivals I've attended.

Chainsaw Prequel to Open Fantastic Fest

Posted Sep 7th 2006 8:04PM by Jette Kernion
Filed under: Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantastic Fest

Although only in its second year, Fantastic Fest is pretty savvy about publicity. The horror/sci-fi/fantasy festival has been releasing lists of scheduled films in batches throughout the summer. The final schedule has just been posted, and includes the Austin festival's opening-night movie: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. I haven't heard anything yet about cast or crew possibly attending the premiere of this prequel, but the festival doesn't start until Sept. 21 so there's still time.

If you're a fan of the Texas Chainsaw series (and I use the word "series" very loosely here), Fantastic Fest is also showing the original 1974 film, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, with actor Ed Neal in attendance. The latest additions to the schedule also include the horror-comedy Severance, the French animated sci-fi film Renaissance, and in its U.S. premiere, the Korean film monster movie The Host (Gwoemul). There's also a sneak preview that's so sneaky the title isn't being released, which will be hosted by Ain't It Cool News. The festival runs through Sept. 28.

Update: I just received a press release (thanks, Scott!) announcing the special guests attending the opening-night premiere of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning: cast members R. Lee Ermey and Jordana Brewster, director Jonathan Liebesman, and producers Andrew Fuller and Brad Form.

Texas Chainsaw: The Trailer to the Prequel to the Remake

Posted Jun 8th 2006 11:31AM by Scott Weinberg
Filed under: Horror, New Line, Remakes and Sequels

In the beginning there was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) ... and it was good. So good, in fact, that it swiftly became known as one of the most effective and unapologetic horror movies ever made. The original TCM begat The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 (1986), which wasn't nearly as good but offered an insane Dennis Hopper performance to sweeten the deal. Four years later came Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, which was even weaker than the last one, but still had tons of goopy gore to please the bloodhounds. But 1994's The Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (later renamed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation, in an effort to entice the Star Trek fans, I guess) was, far and away, the mega-nadir of the series. (So bad, in fact, that stars Renee Zellweger and Matthew McConaughey lobbied to keep the flick out of distribution!) And, sequel-wise, that was pretty much that.

Flash forward to nine years later and up pops a Michael Bay-produced remake that everyone was just sure would suck eggs. Granted, some horror fans still feel that way -- but there's little denying that the remake was considerably more well-received than originally anticipated. Which brings us to the sixth and (so far) final movie in the Texas Chainsaw lesson plan: It's a prequel to the remake, it's called The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, and it focuses on the early years of Leatherface's clan. Aside from that skimpy concept, expect the new flick to be a whole lot more of the same stuff: Bleak, black-hearted, merciless horror with a whole lot of gooey gore on the side.

The director this time around is Jonathan Liebesman, working on his sophomore effort after the seriously lame Darkness Falls. The flick's scheduled to open on October 5th, and there's a brand-new theatrical trailer available -- but you can only watch it between 10pm and 4am (or you can just monkey with your computer's clock and watch it whenever). So yeah: All that blather for a trailer link. Can you tell how obsessive I am with these crazy horror flicks?

A Very Special Massacre

Posted May 30th 2006 6:30PM by Scott Weinberg
Filed under: Classics, Horror, Fandom, Home Entertainment

Nothing gets me more geeked out than a brand-new Special Edition release of one of the true classics. Yeah, it means I have to drop a fresh 17 bucks on a movie I already have ... but some flicks are just worth the extra effort, you know? One such movie would be the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which is a title I already own, of course, but that particular DVD, with its half-decent extras and mediocre A/V presentation, isn't exactly a piece of digital heaven. (It was good enough for a while, but no more!)

Why no more? This is why: Dark Sky Films, the DVD maniacs I raved about a few weeks ago, are planning to unleash Tobe Hooper's finest flick in a seriously slick-looking mega-package. DavisDVD doles out the specs, and they look pretty damn awesome: Two commentary tracks (one old and one new), a feature-length retrospective documentary, deleted scenes, new cast interviews, trailers, TV spots, 5.1 audio, and a brand-new fully remastered OMG can't wait to see it anamorphic widescreen transfer. Zowie! (I can name one of my old DVDs that just made its way onto eBay.)

Jason's Backstory: Dead in the Water

Posted May 14th 2006 10:00AM by Scott Weinberg
Filed under: Horror, Remakes and Sequels

Remember that news we shared a while back about a new Friday the 13th prequel/sequel that was supposed to be rushed through production in time to make an October 13th release date? Well, never mind. It ain't happenin'. Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes shingle has put Jason Jr. on the back burner, for an undisclosed reason, opting to instead focus their energies on ... a remake to The Hitcher. As if writing an original horror movie was impossible.

Fangoria and Bloody-Disgusting have, of course, been covering this flick since it was first announced. The plan was for director Jonathan Liebesman (Darkness Falls) and screenwriter Mark Wheaton to head back in time and build an origin-type story that, I believe, would explain what went down between Friday the 13th and Friday the 13th Part 2. Or maybe it was supposed to be the story of how the Jason the freaky mutant mama-lover ended up drowning in the first place. Normally I'd just sneer at these concepts, but Mr. Wheaton, having proven himself within several genre mags and websites, is clearly a pretty passionate horror geek.

Anyway, plot synopses for movies that don't exist are fairly pointless, but you just know Jason's backstory is going to make for its own flick someday. Just not this October, though, which means the horror geeks will have to be content with the second sequel to Saw, the sequel to the remake of The Grudge, and the prequel to the remake (NOT a remake of the sequel) of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Got all that?
