Elle opens with a wealthy and beautiful middle-aged Parisian being raped on the parquet floor of her first-floor den by an intruder in a ski mask. The only witness to the attack is a black cat, which sits watching silently. This is the first image, the cat’s stare, a touch that’s grotesque and mysterious, like everything that follows in this deviously plotted and subversive black comedy. The woman, Michèle Leblanc (Isabelle Huppert), sweeps the broken glass into a dustpan and throws away her clothes. She has dinner with her son. She goes to sleep holding a hammer. The following morning, she arrives at her office like nothing happened, slinging her designer handbag.
It’s become a cliché of art films: the traumatic act of violence whose blank non-acknowledgement is a putative structuring absence that recasts banalities in a light of alienation or unsettlement and so on. But that...

Sorry Zack Snyder, looks like Martin Scorsese has beaten you to your dream project.
The "Goodfellas" and "The Departed" helmer is reportedly in early talks to direct the gritty George Washington biopic "The General" for Red Granite Pictures according to The Tracking Board.
Said to have a tone akin to "Unforgiven," the story centers around General George Washington, who must lead a dying army to fend off a band of brutal mercenaries during the Revolutionary War.
"Assassin's Creed" writers Adam Cooper and Bill Collage have penned the script while Riza Aziz and Joey McFarland are producing. Darren Aronofsky was previously attached to direct and produce through his Protozoa Pictures back in 2012 but is no longer attached.
Scorsese previously worked with Red Granite on "The Wolf of Wall Street", and his latest film "Silence" opens later this year. He remains attached to three long-gestating projects, most notably the film adaptation of...

When asked what the hometown of horror is, Providence, Ri, doesn't immediately come to mind. But Woodhaven has become a prolific horror studio, located right in the heart of New England, and we recently visited the set of their newest film, Almost Mercy.
The location was a no-tell motel where, if the walls could talk…Omg, the stories they would tell! It was the perfect setting for one of the key scenes for the film. Director Tom DeNucci took some time out of his shooting schedule to talk about Almost Mercy and the progress of Woodhaven Productions.
"The film is definitely darker, definitely more sinister. It has a lot less of the campy throwback horror-comedy," DeNucci said. "However, it does have a very slick, cutting and mean dark comedy to it, which is fun. I've never had a chance to flex those muscles before. That I attribute to getting to work with B.

Even if you don’t watch or like horror movies you still know who Freddy Kruger is. Same goes for Michael Myers, Ghostface, Leatherface and Jason Voorhees. Yet while these demons and madmen figure greatly into horror mythology there are a whole slew of worthy villains that, either because they starred in lackluster movies or failed to ensure a box-office franchise, have not been given their due. This list will attempt to right those wrongs and shine a spotlight on the unsung monsters, those that give us nightmares and elicit a fear of the dark that Freddy and Jason just can’t do.

The movie-making business is a fickle one, with projects oftentimes appearing one day, then completely disappearing the next. There are so many factors that go into making a movie that it's quite frankly a miracle so many movies actually do end up getting made. But what about the ones that are planned and announced, but never actually materialize? There are a whole lot of them, and today we take a look at a handful of horror movie sequels that found themselves stuck in the dreaded Development Hell. Before the Mask: The Return of Leslie Vernon One of the most frustrating stories in recent years within the horror genre is the story of the sequel to 2006's utterly brilliant cult classic Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon... a follow-up that, for whatever reason, just can't seem to get off the ground. Described as a "spreemake," meaning a sequel, prequel...

2011 was somewhat of a quiet year for the horror genre and me and I still haven’t seen everything I would’ve liked to – but so far, here’s the top 5 horror films of 2011 that made quite an impression on me.
5. Final Destination 5
Let’s face it, they never meant The Final Destination to be the last one.
After all, you really can’t stop death, can you? – Haven’t these film makers learnt anything from their characters?
But seriously, Final Destination 5 was a return to form for the series, after the drab and dreary last two installments. Tony Todd’s return was a welcomed one and the writers threw in this interesting little twist to shake up the familiar formula.
Not all of it worked but damn if it wasn’t tense as all hell – and with one of the year’s best horror soundtracks,...
