"Real Fear, in Real Time" with Uruguay's The Silent House (La Casa Muda)

Filmed entirely on one professional photo camera in one continuous 72 minute sequence, The Silent House (La Casa Muda) is being compared to the likes of [REC] and Paranormal Activity.  The comparison with these films may come from the format and the shakiness of the camera shots.  From the little shown in the trailer and the synopsis, the plot feels more like The Strangers.  The look and feel of this movie is dark and foreboding and we can't wait for the chance to see it.  Visit the official website here.

Synopsis pulled from Dread Central:
Laura (Florencia Colucci) and her father Wilson (Gustavo Alonso) settle down in a cottage that seems to be off the beaten track in order to update it since its owner (Abel Tripaldi) will soon put the house up for sale. They will spend the night there in order to start the repairs the following morning. Everything seems to go smoothly until Laura hears a sound that comes from outside and gets louder and louder on the upper floor of the house. Wilson goes up to see what is going on while she remains downstairs on her own, waiting for her father to come down. The plot is based on a true story that happened some time ago in a small village in Uruguay. La Casa Muda focuses on the last seventy-eight minutes, second by second, while Laura attempts to leave the house, which hides an obscure secret, unharmed.

Two trailers for new African zombie flick The Dead

There's a new zombie film shambling this way and it looks to be a good one.  The Dead is a story set in Africa, where an American service man is trying to find a way home while battling the undead.  The trailer reminded me of parts of Max Brook's World War Z, where you are introduced to how the zombie virus began and spread in various parts of the world and how different groups fought to survive.

The look of this film doesn't appear to be one of an all-out gore fest nor does it seem intent of making you constantly jump out of your skin.  That being said, we're sure it has its moments here and there.  It is, after all, a zombie film.  The website Horror-Movies.ca likens it to classic Romero and that seems to be a pretty apt description going solely off the trailer.

Enormous Doll Heads - Need We Say More?

Original post here.

These creeptastic hypercephalic dolls are just the kind of bizarre and stomach-churning specimens we love. We can always appreciate the taking of something sweet and innocent like a child's dolly and morphing it into the stuff of your nightmares. Careful now, don't stare too long at these - you know they'll be haunting your dreams tonight...
