Rob Zombie’s Halloween

Rob Zombie’s vision of “Halloween” is an entirely new take on the legend and will satisfy fans of the classic “Halloween” legacy while beginning a new chapter in the Michael Myers saga. This new movie will not only appeal to horror fans, but to a wider movie-going audience as well. It will not be a copycat of any prior films in the “Halloween” franchise. Oh! And by the way, if you’re counting, this is the NINTH “Halloween” movie to hit theaters.

Skinwalkers

“Skinwalkers,” (as you can see from perusing the posters on this page), has had a life of its own. Originally, “Skinwalkers” was to be released on March 30, 2007. When WAM contacted regional Lionsgate Filmed Enterainment publicsts, during the middle of March 2007, none had even heard of “Skinwalkers.”

Wild About Movies, given the go ahead by Lionsgate internal publicity, early in the month of July 2007, was told that “Skinwalkers” was going to be released on July 27, 2007.

But, it was not - and was pushed back, yet again to, presumably the official release date - since the latest poster of “Skinwalkers” (above), indicates such.

In addition, the movie had originally been given an R-rating by the MPAA. Did the reason for the film’s delay in release have to do with extreme editing to allow the film a more tepid PG-13 rating, which it will be released with in theaters? (We’re sure the DVD of “Skinwalkers” will be released in an UNRATED version.)

“Skinwalkers” is a horror action film about a 12-year-old boy who suddenly finds himself at the center of a battle between two warring groups of werewolves. One group of werewolves is sworn to protect him, the other group is trying to kill him — and the young boy’s mother has to find out why her son is at the center of the conflict before time runs out - “Skinwalkers.”

DIRECTOR: Jim Isaac

Black Sheep

Black Sheep” - No, Chris Farley has not been raised from the dead. And, no, Paramount is not rerelasing their “Black Sheep,” this summer. But, alas, your eyes are not deceiving you either. IFC/First Take are willing to bet their house on the fact that there will be quite a few kids out for summer vacation, black sheep of their own families, who will be able to relate to their film or, at the very least, spend $10 on it. In this “Black Sheep” movie, we find out that there are 40 million sheep in New Zealand and only 4 million inhabitants. After a genetic experiment goes wrong, New Zealand’s sheep start turning nasty, and it’s the humans who begin bleating. Uh-huh - bah, blah, “Black Sheep.”

Fido

Fido” - Years ago, the earth passed through a cloud of space dust, causing the dead to rise with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Terror spread across the land, until a collar was invented that made the zombies docile, even useful. A company was born: ZomCon. Thanks to their patented domestication collar, zombies became gardeners, milkmen, servants, even pets. ZomCon would like everyone to believe that they have the world under control. But do they? Timmy Robinson (K’Sun Ray) doesn’t think so. He thinks the world is “phony-baloney”. An awkward loner, Timmy spends so much time in his room even his own parents don’t notice him. So when Mom (Carrie-Anne Moss) buys a zombie (Billy Connolly) to help around the house, Timmy is surprised, and even curious, when the beast wants to play catch. When the zombie saves him from the local bullies, a true friendship is born, and Timmy names the zombie “Fido.” But Fido’s collar goes on the fritz, and the neighbors start paying the ultimate price. To complicate matters, ZomCon’s notorious zombie-control specialist, Mr. Bottoms (Henry Czerny), has moved in across the street. What begins as a small town story about a boy and his best friend becomes a biting satire about our world, the price of fear, and the rewards of risking love. “Fido” will rip your heart out.

STARRING: Carrie Anne Moss, Billy Connolly, Tim Blake Nelson, Henry Czerny, Dylan Baker, K’Sun Ray
DIRECTOR: Andrew Currie
STUDIO: Lionsgate
RATING: PG-13 (For sequences of zombie violence and gore, and comic horror situations)

Hostel 2

Last January, writer/director Eli Roth terrified moviegoers with the blood-drenched “Hostel,” which catapulted to the top of the box office charts and became the first Number One film of 2006. One year later, Roth takes us back to where it all began, and deeper into the darkest recesses of the human mind. In “Hostel 2,” three young Americans studying art in Rome set off for a weekend trip when they run into a beautiful model from one of their classes. Also on her way to an exotic destination, the gorgeous European invites the coeds to come along, assuring them they will be able to relax and rejuvenate. Will the girls find the oasis they are looking for? Or are they poised to become victims for hire, pawns in the fantasies of the sick and privileged from around the world who secretly travel here to savor more grisly pursuits? With “Hostel,” Eli Roth cemented the cutting-edge credentials he earned with his debut feature “Cabin Fever” (2002). In “Hostel 2,” Roth invites fans to take another frightening trip where suppressed urges - once unleashed - have chilling consequences.

Starring: Jay Hernandez, Lauren German, Heather Matarazzo, Bijou Phillips, Vera Jordanova, Roger Bart, Richard Burgi
