Alien Abduction Official Trailer (2014) Horror, Sci Fi HD

Alien abduction

The terms alien abduction or abduction phenomenon describe "subjectively real memories of being taken secretly against one's will by apparently nonhuman entities and subjected to complex physical and psychological procedures"

In honor of our 42nd Prez, Bill "Bubba" Clinton who recently went on the Jimmy Kimmel Show and said he wouldn't be surprised if some day we were visited by Aliens. However, I'm thinking that he was meaning --or hoping-- that it wouldn't be any of the Hollywood brand of visitations.

With that said, today's pick for up and coming flicks is "Alien Abduction".

Shot in the so-over-done-by-this-point in POV, found footage format, "Alien Abduction" is about a family vacationing out in the backwoods of North Carolina, doing the whole camping thing when strange things begin to happen. Supposedly based on the real-life phenom of the Lights of Brown Mountain that has inspired stories since the early 1900's from everything from Blue Grass songs to the X-Files to now the latest incarnation Alien Abduction.

The Morris family pays little notice to the stories of possible aliens or ghosts that possibly reside up in the mountains and where strange things have been being reported. Pretty much the whole film is shot from a camcorder that is controlled the Morris's autistic son, Riley, who uses the camera as a way to cope with the things that are taking place the same way Maggie Simpson uses her pacifier or that of Linus and his ever present blanket. And need it he will as the family comes across a tunnel filled with abandoned cars and when the dead crows fall from the skies like rain. Not to mention the Alien pursuers as they turn a weekend away into a nightmarish fight for survival.

While Alien Abduction is pretty your standard style Alien movie it does have a few nifty little effects worth the price of a rental.

Raze (2013) - Zoe Bell, Doug Jones Movie HD

Zoe Bell (Death Proof) returns to the exploitation genre in Josh C. Waller's "RAZE".

First premiering at New York's Tribeca Film Festival, "RAZE" follows the fate of 49 women as they are kidnapped by the sadistic Elizabeth (Sherilyn Fen)  and Joseph (Doug Jones), a married couple whose idea of a good time is a blood thirsty sporting event where two women are placed in room in some part of their mansion and forced to fight to one of them is dead. There is a catch, however, that ensures that the women fight: You back out, and we'll send somebody out to your unsuspecting family harm.

Although, if you are looking for your standard 70's style Women-in-Prison exploitation film you are going to be disappointed as Waller touts "RAZE" more  in  the  vein of a more  serious,  if it were men that were kidnapped and forced to fight to save their loved ones.

In the end there can only be one.

Fields of the Dead Official Trailer

2014 looks like it might be a banner year in the horror genre with a plethora of new horror coming out this month (January) and in February as well.

Set for release on February 4th, Fields of the Dead looks like it could be a fun ride even though it comes with your standard stock horror cliche in which will find several college students as they venture out an abandoned farm where they are doing research on some evil events that have taken place in and around the farm. Of course things go wrong when one of the college peeps finds an ancient book in which they unwittingly summon demons.

While as I have stated it's your basic horror cliche the newly released trailer makes it look like it might be fun. As long as audiences get past the Evil Dead type storyline.  We shall see. Myself I'll give it a go. While not original in anyway at least it Fields of the Dead isn't another sequel in a long line of sequels and it's not a reboot/remake in WAY too long of a line of such.

Check out Dread Central for newly released artwork for the film.

Until next time...

   

31 Days 31 Picks Sleepaway Camp (1983) [UNCUT] [HD] Full Movie

The 1980's spawned a plethora of wannabe 'Friday the 13th' films and 'Sleepaway Camp' is no different.

Angela's father and brother were killed in a strange boating accident when she was a young girl. Since Angela is so painfully shy she is sent to camp to possibly open her up emotionally. However things start to go horribly wrong after her arrival with an ending that needs to be seen.

31 Days 31 Picks Jug Face Official Trailer 1 (2013) - Horror Movie HD

The best way to describe "Jug Face" is that it's part "Deliverance", Part "Wicker Man" (the good version. Not that fucked up shit pile that Nic Cage was in).   

"Jug Face" tells the story of a pregnant teen trying to escape a backwoods community when she discovers that she may be sacrificed to a creature in a pit. What else needs to be said?

31 Days 31 Picks Rabid (1977) trailer

Rabid shuffled onto the circuit in 1977. Directed by a relatively unkown David Cronenberg (fresh of off "Shivers") and starring a post-porno Marilyn Chambers, this up-to-par zombie flick is a fast-paced and enjoyable thrill ride released by the great (and defunct) New World pictures. David Cronenberg hit the ticket with this, though. His next pic was the successful mind trip "Videodrome"

31 Days 31 Picks: Dario Argento's DEMONS (1985)

You can't have a Halloween movie list without adding one of the Italian masters of the genre of horror in the name of Dario Argento. Argento is by far one of the greats.

This installment of "31 Picks 31 Days" is the 1985 film "Demons".

Demons follows a group of people that are trapped in a large movie theater in West Berlin which, unfortunately, is infected by ravenous demons who proceed to kill and then posses the humans one-by-one, thereby multiplying their numbers.

As the group of uninfected race to any exit they can find --only to find that they have all been bricked up-- they attempt to barricade themselves in the balcony. One of the demons, however, escapes into the city when a group of punk rockers break's into the building. Allowing the demonic infection has spread throughout the city of Berlin. 

Shades of the Spanish films "REC" anyone?

31 Days 31 Picks -World War Z TRAILER 2 (2013)

It's that time of the year again when the weather begins to cool, the leaves begin to change color and fall to the ground. And when we get to  this time of the year our minds start to wonder. Not about gum drops and sugar plus or even that of Santa Claus, no, we start to think about what lurks in the ever growing, ever lasting, darkness.

Yes it's that time of the year when the spooks come out and play havoc with out sanity.

And yes it's that time of the year for our annual 31 Days 31 Picks. 31 horror flicks to make you think about what lies just outside the door; inside the closet; under the bed.

This year we kick off the Halloween season with "World War Z".

I was originally looking forward to this big budget action zombie yarn, having read the book I was curious to see how they did it. (Don't worry fans of the book, other than the name it's a completely different story) But then the stories came out about it being WAY over budget and problems on the set and all the script rewrites. Then I heard that the third act was a disaster.

Some how Brad Pitt soldiered through, bringing in yet another new writer just to rewrite the ending, and, boy, am I glad they did. The new ending --the one in the film-- works FAR better than the one I had read about. And in the end "World War Z" is a half way descent zombie flick in a market that is saturated with zombies. Not great, but well worth a watch.

After all, the proverbial cat would have been just fine except for its penchant for curiosity. Happening past a house she's seen in her dreams for months, Cynthia isn't sure why she feels so compelled to find out what it means. But as she enters the doorway, she has no choice but to search further. Will she finally find peace or a more menacing truth that casts aside the light to reveal only a more forbidding darkness?
