By Simon Abrams I defy anyone who still thinks the term "torture porn" makes any sense to watch writer/director Pascal Laugier's Martyrs and reconsider their position. This isn't my way of chastising people with different opinions than myself but rather my way of saying: "This film is a good example of what's wrong with the term." Martyrs takes the underlying concept of torture...
If you loved Wes Craven's original A Nightmare on Elm Street , then you know the most famous scenes: Amanda Wyss' Tina floating in midair, Heather Langenkamp's Nancy in the tub, Nick Corri's Rod Lane hanged in his jail cell. Many of those famous bits will appear in the upcoming remake of Nightmare , including the jail scene. (Spoilers ahead!)
Either you want to hear some behind-the-scenes details on 976-EVIL, or you don’t. For those who do, I wholeheartedly recommend HOLLYWOOD MONSTER: A WALK DOWN ELM STREET WITH THE MAN OF YOUR DREAMS, the too-long-titled autobiography of actor Robert Englund, forever beloved as horror icon Freddy Krueger. With the help of co-writer Alan Goldsher, Englund [...]
I don’t know if Richard Potter is a good writer, but I like his movies. The Executive in Charge of Production for flicks as diverse as Nightwatch, Teaching Mrs. Tingle and Scream has sold a few scripts lately, and alongside writing partner Matthew Stravitz has locked down a serious directing talent in Pierre Morel for their [...]
Kevin Williamson is finally unveiling a little bit about Scream IV , telling MTV that the screenplay is coming together well. Actually, two scripts are being written: One for the fourth film and one for the fifth. Remember, they're not rebooting this for a one-off. Dimension (and likely director Wes Craven , as well) are fashioning a new trilogy. But first things first: "The fourth one is an...
Robert Englund is Dr. Andover in "Fear Clinic" on FEARnet.com Robert Englund has been involved in film and television for 35 years, other than his most famous creation, Freddy Krueger, he's been in television staples such as "Soap", "CHiPs", and "V" as well as movies like The Phantom of the Opera , Strangeland , and 2001 Maniacs . He's also been a director and...
If there is anyone I would want to choose what movies I watch this Halloween weekend (besides Stephen King or Wes Craven), I'd want it to be Oscar winning director Martin Scorsese. He's a genius filmmaker and I'm sure he knows great horror when he sees it. I think this would've been much better coordinated if his new movie Shutter Island was actually out in theaters (damn you Paramount), but either...
With Halloween literally hours away, I thought it would be fun to take a look at some trailers and clips that have made their way to YouTube. Some will be new and some will be old and there will be no particular flow to them. This is in place of my usual New Movies and Box Office Predictions column. Since there is only one new wide release, I have decided to take a one week break to provide something...
Plot: In 1984, horror director Wes Craven created "A Nightmare on Elm Street." It was acclaimed as one of the scariest movies ever made and made unknowns like Robert Englund, Johnny Depp, and Heather Langenkamp huge stars. Ten years later, Heather is living happily with her husband, Chase, and her son, Dylan. But her life has now been turned upside down because she is being stalked by a...
Apart from the stray slasher flick, Halloween is traditionally a dead spot on the Hollywood calendar. This week's big release? The Michael Jackson tribute film This Is It — creepy in its own right. But Universal Studios has been raiding its catacombs for DVD reissues. Let's brush the...
Morality sucks! And so does this film! I've always lauded the Scream series as being the low point for the slasher film, generic crops of beautiful people scythed down by a masked killer, sequel after sequel, an audience full of airheads, but I've decided the time has come for fairness. The slasher film blew chunks long before the original Scream ever hit the theaters, and Wes Craven himself was already...
The quote above comes from Jackie Earle Haley, who will terrorize the nightmares of teens as Freddy Krueger in director Samuel Bayer's remake of the classic Wes Craven horror flick, "A Nightmare on Elm Street." It is a role that was previously brought to life by Robert Englund, who chews scenery with the best. "You know, [...]
Every once in a while there will be something written about the horror movie genre fading away due to lack of an audience. The recent success of horror films such as the newly released remake of the classic Friday the 13th and this spring’s popular horror film Haunting in Connecticut, have proven that the horror genre is alive and well and that new horror movies will continue to turn a profit. While

When you search with keywords like ‘download New York, I Love You ’ or ‘watch online New York, I Love You ’, you’ll see thousands of websites offering you same services. Several...
There's only one legitimate place I've found to watch it, the rest seem like scams :-/ You can see it over here though: http://freeonlinemovies.us/watch28015.hhtml
