the hills have eyes II Tagged Articles at Cinematical

I can think of at least three movies in the coming two weeks that feature scenes that are strikingly out of tone with the film they're a respective part of and yet seemingly included as a means of getting people to tell their loved ones how ridiculous Bit X in Movie Y is. And so today's Cinematical Seven list will be an arbitrary, far from ultimate compilation of the most distractingly disgusting and supremely superfluous parts in recent movies. Sure, most of these are comedies, and yes, most of them seem to have been released from the year 2000 on, and as always, we welcome your comments below. Just make sure they're not too gross.

(Speaking of which, NSFW clips follow after the jump.)

The director of The Hills Have Eyes II is teaming up with the star of the Prom Night remake for what should logically add up to the worst horror film ever made. Variety reports that Brittany Snow has been cast as the lead in the video game adaptation Clock Tower, to be directed by Martin Weisz. Again playing a teenager, despite the fact that she looks 40 (she's really 22), Snow will apparently fill the role of Jennifer Simpson, a 15-year-old girl Variety describes as "a troubled psychiatric patient who witnessed her parents die and is constantly plagued by religious imagery."

That sounds a lot less frightening than the actual game, but either the trade received a watered-down synopsis or Clock Tower will indeed be a disappointment to gamers. I've never played any of the Clock Tower games myself, but from what I've gathered from fan feedback, they're actually pretty scary. They center on a serial killer called the Scissorman, who stalks the player, who must survive by figuring out clues (feel free to correct me or elaborate if you've played).

You're in for a treat; the teaser trailer for the next great zombie flick has been released. From what I can tell, 28 Weeks Later has a lot of running, fires and the oh-so strong heroic character out to save the human race. I love it. I have to admit that I was slightly disappointed when I learned that Danny Boyle would not be directing. 28 Days Later was truly an exquisite film on many levels; lighting, acting and composition were gorgeous. One of my favorite images was Cillian Murphy walking alone in the wilds of his newly emptied Britain; the magnitude of his size against the impending doom was paralleled to the massiveness of the commercial truck shadowed against him. Magnificent.

Although Boyle is not directing, he is producing the film -- Juan Carlos Fresnadillo will take the torch to direct. Fresnadillo is in fact an Oscar nominated filmmaker for his short film Esposadas in 1996 and he's also partially responsible for the writing credits of 28 Weeks Later alongside Rowan Joffee. What are we basically in for? Well Britain has fallen, there isn't a living person inhabiting its streets. Thus America decides to come to the rescue ... but can the American army prove stronger than the zombie race? The full trailer will appear starting March 23 in theatres before The Hills Have Eyes II.
