Horror
Zombies | Chainsaw Maid 2
Super lo-fi with a charm that’s hard to resist, Lee Hardcastle has taken a break from his 60 second replays in clay to bring us horrific tales of Zombies and a Chainsaw Maid. And here’s the making of Chainsaw Maid 2
Double Trouble
Dan Gitsham’s reworked version of The Sack shows the horror of being in Double Trouble.
Trolljegeren (Troll Hunter)
When I was young I developed two irrational fears, the first, bears, developed from a reoccurring dream I had. The second, trolls, originated from my dad’s feverish imagination and love of story telling. At an early age I was convinced under every bridge lived a troll ready to eat whoever tried to cross and it [...]
Rubber
Rubber opens with a shot of a chair nestling in the wilderness of an unknown American desert, the following shots reveal more chairs spread randomly across a dirt track and a man waiting, holding numerous pairs of binoculars. Down the track comes a large American car which weaves its way towards camera, purposefully knocking down [...]
DN SXSW2011: Kill List – Ben Wheatley
With his first feature Down Terrace, Ben Wheatley breathed new life into the hackneyed corpse of the British Gangster flick, so Kill List, his take on the horror movie, was always going to top my SXSW must see list. As it’s very possible I could bump into him back home in Brighton, I was overjoyed [...]
DN SXSW2011: Caught Inside – Adam Blaiklock
How does the idea of a surfing holiday in the Maldives with no one around for miles except for you and your small group of friends strike you? Yep, sounds lovely, that is unless you happen to be on the boating trip created by Australian director Adam Blaiklock in his debut feature Caught Inside; a [...]
DeadChatter #10: Erik Gets Backup
Not only did I get to guest host on the tastier than brains DeadChatter podcast, but I was also able to bring The Walking Dead zombie smack down to Andrew and Morgan too – Erik’s one of the good guys so I spared him: Let’s face it—Erik did a horrible job of trying to beat [...]
Chatter
It’s not often you get an effective horror in short form, but there’s something about Chatter from Leo Resnes, that just works. Maybe it’s Espen Gjelsten’s widescreen cinematography, maybe it’s the contradicting soundtrack or maybe it’s just a film made for watching online. Chatter from Espen Gjelsten on Vimeo.
GrimmFest 2010: Evil: In the Time of Heroes
DN had the pleasure of a five film horror marathon at the Grimm Up North film festival in Manchester. The second film of the day was Yorgos Noussias’ zombie action-comedy Evil: In the Time of Heroes, or To Κακό 2: Στην Eποχή Tων Hρώων to give it its snappy, original title. This sequel to the [...]
The Walking Dead: Episode 1
Zombies, zombies, bloody zombies. We really should be sick of the sight of them. The most annoying thing about them is that regardless of how many zombie films come along people keep on making more of them. On the flipside, every so often someone comes up with a decent take on the shuffling corpse and [...]
