Haunted houses (and apartments and hotels and amusement parks) seem to be big this year. The 11th Aggression looks like it might be a possibly good slasher, although I’m tired of the whole by-the-book cop with the impulsive partner routine. Anyone interested in realistic slashers should probably check this out, though I’m still frustrated that I haven’t managed to get ahold of a trailer my computer will read. 28 Weeks Later seems to be a sequel of The Rage from 2006, and of course its name is so original that I feel the need to see it. A vampire movie that seems like it will turn out similar to a standard zombie flick, a movie that seems like it may have a similar concept as Saw or possibly Hellraiser: Inferno (at least in my head) 99 Pieces, a documentary about real American cannibal Albert Fish (wiki article on the killer), a movie based on a game with the premise of a horror return to Wonderland by Alice, a story somehow taking into account multiple villains, with vampires, mummies and more over a 5000 year time period, a city of zombies, a Halloween rip-off, a TCM rip-off, a 6th Sense rip-off, another PG-13 werewolf movie, a Final Destination-type death cheating story, a whole slew of movies about cults and a few about hitchhikers, a movie about the Antichrist, a Cinderella horror story, and a whole bunch of crap are coming out this year. Nazis are fighting monsters, a story about a man that seems to have the curse of Kenny from South Park, the now-familiar concept of a European vacation gone wrong, a new slasher attacks during black-outs, and the grim reaper is acting as a slasher. Vampires are western characters, and clowns are still killing people.
There are 4 Stephen King-based movies coming out this year, including a haunted hotel room 1408 (which in my opinion King had no reason to write- there’s no shortage of “haunted room” stories out there), his 2006 novel Cell, From a Buick 8, and short story The Mist.
Notable sequels and remakes:
Alien vs. Predator 2, which holds a suggestion it might be the urban fuck-the-humans battle that both FvJ and AVP had our hopes up on?
Day of the Dead remake
Hannibal Rising
Hills Have Eyes II (would you consider this a remake or a sequel?)
Hostel: Part II
Return to House on Haunted Hill
Resident Evil: Extinction
A 5th Sleepaway Camp movie
Saw IV
And, supposedly, the Hellraiser Remake and Friday the 13th something are coming out this year… I’m thinking more like 2008.
I may see The 11th Aggression, Alice out of sheer curiosity, Hostel II, and probably Cell and The Mist. I don’t need From a Buick 8 to become the 3rd Stephen King movie I’ve seen without reading the story before it (the first 2 being Green Mile and Cat’s Eye). I may also watch Hannibal Rising, making my Hannibal record 80% watched (all except Manhunter).
