A few movies I can't wait to see in January. Typically, crummy movies are released in Jan/Feb. But every now and then a winner squeezes in. Let's hope for that.
1. DAYBREAKERS - I love all things vampire. So I've been looking forward to this for a while. Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe, who is just creepy all by himself.
2. LEGION - I am also fascinated with all things apocalyptic, so this is cool. Paul Bettany is bad ass. And that creepy old lady climbing the ceiling? I'm in!
3. DREAD - Featuring none other than Jasper...I mean Jackson Rathbone from Twilight saga fame, this is one Horrorfest movie I can't wait to see. Based on a Clive Barker short story and focused on people's fears. Sounds like a good time!
4. LET ME IN - A remake of one of my all-time favorite vampire movies, Let the Right One In. The original is based on a book by Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqvist. I LOVED the original/book and it's one of the best vamp movies ever. I'm anxiously awaiting this remake.
5. LEAP YEAR - I hate hate hate romantic comedies. But I love the Irish and I love Amy Adams. The only rom-com on the list.
6. ZMD: ZOMBIES OF MASS DESTRUCTION - I think the title alone is worth a viewing, but it's getting good buzz. Zombies seem to be the butt of a lot of horror/comedy movies. Maybe it's because they move so slow. Another Horrorfest entry.
7. THE LOVELY BONES - I do believe the release of this was pushed back, which isn't a good sign. I loved this book. Peter Jackson is in charge. It can't all suck, right?
A few tips: Torture porn and Asian horror are "out". Vampires and vengeance films are "in". If a movie has been shelfed for more than a year, chances are it will please no one.

Looks like some interesting fare. I'll have to follow your lead on half of these. I'm not feeling The Lovely Bones. It's a highwire of a premise. I had hopes Jackson could pull it off, but the advanced word is not good.
ReplyDeleteI, too, think Ethan Hawke is creepy. He was destined to be in a vamp movie.
I was speaking of Willem Dafoe's general creepiness. But Ethan works the creep factor too. You will go see at least ONE Horrorfest movie with me, right?
