There’s something inherently creepy about Scandinavia: Its arctic weather and ancient forests. Movies like Let the Right One In, Troll Hunter, and Hidden are great examples. Recently, filmmaker Aleksander Nordaas delved into Norwegian folklore as inspiration for his latest effort, Thale, staring Silje Reinåmo, Erlend Nervold, and Jon Sigve Skard.

Watch the first few seconds of the trailer for the Joss Whedon/Drew Goddard scribed The Cabin in the Woods, and you’ll get a major case of déjà vu. A group of 20-somethings, most likely on vacation or celebrating graduation from college, decide to take a relaxing retreat off the beaten path. On [...]

I’m holding Diablo Cody personally responsible for this one.
Ghost House and Mandate Pictures are producing the forthcoming remake of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead, which begins lensing this March in New Zealand. To that end, Bloody Disgusting has reported that Lilly Collins (The Blind Side, Priest, Mirror Mirror) has been [...]
