Iconic film composer Ennio Morricone has crafted a brooding, brutal opening song for the soundtrack to Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, "L'Ultima Diligenza di Red Rock."
The Hateful Eight score marks Morricone's first for a Western movie in four decades, but "L'Ultima Diligenza" shows he hasn't lost his knack for blending serpentine strings, blistering brass and the occasional monastic chant. The Italian composer previously provided the legendary scores for classic Westerns like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West and My Name is Nobody.

The White Stripes jam "Apple Blossom" and Roy Orbison tune "There Weren't Be Many Coming Home" are nestled between the Morricone cues and dialogue excerpts. The latter song is from "The Fastest Guitar Alive," Orbison's only feature film appearance. Also featured is "Now You're All Alone" by David Hess, which first appeared on the soundtrack for "Last House On The.

Rabies aka Kalevet
Directed and Written by Aharon Keshales and Navot Papushado
Israel, 2010

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference”

A car filled with four young and lost tennis players; a brother and sister running from their rich family and a dark secret; a park ranger and his dog; two incompetent cops; and a would-be serial killer collide in the woods of an Israeli nature preserve. So far, it sounds like the ingredients of a typical slasher film, but when Kalevet, Israel’s first horror film, sidelines the serial killer in the first reel, it turns down the road not taken and becomes quite wonderful.
“Audiences in Israel want realism and since Israel has never had a serial killer, we made our killer incompotent and impotent,” said co-director and co-writer...

For me, one of the best horror films of the 90s is The Night Flier. The Stephen King adaptation is a terrifically eerie little horror film boasting some fantastic atmosphere and performances, and I've always felt its success is largely due to Mark Pavia's skilled direction. For a while it looked like Pavia was never going to deliver a sophomore effort, but we're happy to announce that day is finally here!

Introduction:
Is there a better time to watch horror movies than on Saturday night? Be it alone or with friends, with beer or without, there’s just something about letting the stresses of the week slip away in the presence of a deranged killer, a zombie apocalypse, alien invaders, hungry vampires, werewolf orgies (if you haven’t seen Howling II, shame on you!) or any such combination.
As a kid, there was nothing more exciting than staying up late on Saturday night and prowling the channels for late-night horror programming. Being exposed to things like Day of the Dead, The Howling, Race with the Devil and Black Christmas before the age of ten certainly helped contribute to my demented modern day state of mind. Before my parents even knew what was happening, I was disavowing any and all interest in spots, cub scouts and anything else kids do, in favor...
