This one looks interesting. However, I can't help but notice that it seems a little similar to Twilight. Let's hope the characters are more 3 dimensional.
Honestly, I am on the fence with this one about whether or not I like it. On one hand, I really like the blending of fantasy and horror. On the other, this does not look all that scary. The visuals look pretty good, creating a very surreal and fantasy like atmosphere. But then again, atmosphere isn't everything.
I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
That's frustrating. It's not that I don't want to see this now but I was excited at first with the seemingly original concept and now it's clear to me that they even screw that up. They don't care about a single audience at all and it now it's looking more like something they just threw together just to make money and take the heat from Twilight. That's pathetic...maybe I'll see it just for the hope that they'll surprise me but seriously WTF!
I am sorry to say, as I was actually quite excited seeing the pics, but after watching the trailer, it looks very bad. Strangely, it seems to have a fairy tale theme to it, targeting an younger audience (Harry Potter?), but with an far more adult horror component added (Demons\Dawn of the Dead, the field of dead bodies is definitly not kiddish). I just wonder if the producers or whoever is in charge are hoping to target multiple demographics to get a larger revenue.
looks different enough...worth checking out
I can't wait for this to come out!!!!
Damn this looks good! OK, so finally someone had the balls to expand on horror with epic looking fantasy and action. Granted this doesn't look at all like a typical horror film but so interesting. I just saw The Crazies and was pleasantly shocked and surprised at how good that remake was but most suck. Even it it weren't for all the cool factors here I would see this for the fact alone that it's original. And there's sword fighting! I'm hoping for some nice gore factor here! Everything else looks like a Michael Bay inspired remake like Nightmare On Elm Street, a typical George Romero zombie remake, or a teen scare flick like The Stepfather (MAJOR FAIL), Sorority Row (EVEN BIGGER FAIL), or a sequel like Resident Evil: Afterlife, 30 Days Of Night sequel, Child's Play (even with Dourif in it I'm just skeptical because they're messing with a classic and have no originality), Zombieland 2........DAMN THIS JUST WREAKS PHENOMENAL
You make some good points but I'll tell you this, I just read a bunch of posts on Twilight: Eclipse and the new trailer. The basic complaint is that it's not even real horror to begin with. So when you say this doesn't look like a typical horror film, I don't think it has gone too far in the wrong direction, if it's going to be on this site. For one, it looks like Brad Dourif is in this which add major credibility. I do like that it looks original, or sort of... It's an original title and it looks interesting but it looks like it combines a lot of movies like Harry Potter, with Resident Evil, and it even looks like Twilight in the beginning and the music is a bit childish. I don't mind a solid romance if it's not done in a super cliche and cheesy method as I felt was done with Interview Of The Vampire.
In addition, I'm not big on action films, but I applaud whoever wrote it for making the hero a character that looks like he has balls instead of writing typical male teenage role as I'm sure will be displayed in the Nightmare On Elm Street remake, Halloween remake, etc. I guess naturally it would make sense as this looks to scew over many genres The one thing that Nightmare On Elm Street looks to have going for it is the director. I looked him up and he directs the Green Day videos and did Nirvana videos (RANDOM)...I'd like to know what the rating is going to be on this but it looks like something to look out for. I'm a little shaky just because some of the elements like the music make this feel like they're shooting for a PG-13 rating which might hurt it.
Sorority Row was just an I Know What You Did Last Summer type of remake. I kinda liked it but the story is getting old yes! I will definitely see this!
I can't tell much about the story but the guy with the sword looks beyond cool. And since all the movies you just pointed out have no cgi factor compared to this and are mostly the same typical horror movie, I will definitely see this. This looks like it could be something new and fun and original to boot.
It looks like Tim Burton made a bloody Harry Potter film!
This movie looks lame. end of story..
So I guess you have no intelligent opinion whatsoever. What other movie has horror mixed with action and fantasy and has a good actor? Answer: none. Please don't tell me you want to see Saw VII, Halloween 3D (corny marketing gimmick), or years past Sorority Row, Jennifer's Body, or pathetic New Moon. The only reboot I'm looking forward to checking out is The Nightmare On Elm Street remake which will probably disappoint the way Friday The 13th did. This has my vote completely because frankly everything else is beyond lame, it's just plain sad and has been done already.
looks gay. i'm going to spend my time not seeing this piece of shit. plus the special effects looks underdeveloped. I have spoken, it must be true.
sorry but your in the minority here. Did you really have to write "I have spoken, it must be true?" That is such a tool comment. Sorry
Per the above movie summary, let's take an inventory to see if we have all the ingredients here for a yet another mythic quest, let's see, we have one young hero with a sword (yep, check one) One young nubile and innocent heroine (check) Do we have one ancient artifact needing to be recovered/kept safe?(yep, got a ancient necklace right here) Right, so now we have a healthy dose of malevolent evil?(is there really any other kind?)yep! One elderly uncle/mentor to represent to the young heros to heed the past and not repeat prior mistakes? (check)a imperative race to a destination of santuary fraught with a myraid horrible perils. (yep)and to top it all off, do we have the scale of this quest encompassed to a small farming town which only emphasizes the isolation and immediate lack of respite which awaits our heroes during their tumultuous journey. well, hell yes!
Boy, I can't wait for this!
I agree, even though this doesn't remind me in anyway of the good old classic horror movies. It's a multi-genre flick which I can dig and I can tell it's not going to be overly gory. but in a good way. I'm sure there will be enough to float my boat. But hey, epic eye candy is a rarity in horror and that's why it's more fantasy to me than anything. Plus we got a dope looking hero and who couldn't look any cooler in my book. No CW lame factor here, major plus. Do I need to say anything about Dourif. Come on Legend! Weird white cone head chick looks fuckable on a drunk night. Hey, everyone gotta have a fetish. You're not living if you don't have one. And hey finally someone decided to make something new and intriguing as ever aside from the corny music. Hey, I'll forgive you.. Most anticipated film of the year by far.
Is it just me or does that creepy five-head thing holding the wall look like Helena Bonham Carter? And I don't know if I really understand this movie to be honest.....I read the premise and I'm a little confused...It does look interesting but the scenes of people running is pretty bad, graphics-wise, but I won't hate on a movie for that. Brad is great but every time I hear or see him I, like many others, can't help but hear a lil red headed doll....lol And I've always been angered by people laughing at Chucky and saying they would just punt him...when was the last time Chucky even ran head-on at someone? Didn't he always like sneak up on his victims and then kill them before they really realized what happened? Oh well, and sorry for the off subject rant...
This movie looks interesting...
This can't come out soon enough. It looks incredible.
agreed man. shit is hardcore
This is the one movie ive been waiting for all yeah. i cant take this anymore, i cant wait any longer
fuck yeah shit is dope. pumped for this
the most fuckin kickass and dopest trailers i've ever fuckin seen. shit looks like one epic battle after another, some killer fuckin acting, and the sweetest visuals and effects. absolutely cant wait for this, so fuckin agree. if they made more movies like this than i wouldn't bitch as much. a big fuckin THANK YOU
very much so agree and i must say that the combination of what looks to me to be incredibly interesting and entertaining material with substantially great acting, is something i very much so look forward to. this looks like Brad's most incredible role since Exorcist and most likely the most deserving role he's played as of yet. big thumbs up for me.
Huge fan of Dourif in the Exorcist and this does look like an even greater role especially since he's the main baddy. Some of the trailer looks like some of the epic pictures from 300. Looks awesome to me.
I was at Dragon and saw the panel. by far the best movie at the entire convention. the place was packed and went crazy during the entire panel. most of all, seeing the footage on a big screen is the true way to do justice to this movie. its off the hook. the cast was amazing and everything seriously exceeded my expectations. utterly the most exceptional work seen in years
Huge fan of the battle scenes
you got all that from a trailer? it's no wonder you bitch about horror movies; you only watch the trailers. the trailer for this flick kind of sucks to me. i think i'd rather watch other trailers, if i wanted to watch trailers that is
OMG! This has to be one of the stupidest comments I've read, Coward. People decide whether to see a movie from the trailer. How the hell else do you decide? They don't play the whole movie for you first and then you go see it. But you're busting on someone getting excited to see a movie from the trailer?
Many times I think trailers suck just from looking at them and most of the time I'm right cuz they play the best parts in the trailer. But you think you're cool by dissing others on their feelings on a trailer? And there are alot of shitty horror movies coming out too that you can tell from the trailer. But thats beside the point. Your comment was retarded. The only smart thing was choosing your nickname - coward.
Dragon Con is an amazing fantasy convention phenomina with participation reaching up to 100,000 people. It amazes me that one could ignore it so easily.
I have been waiting for a film like Fading of the Cries for years. Sorority Row, H2, Final Destination 3d, Jennifer's Body doesn't really cut it for me these days. So if you can list a better horror movie coming out these days (and please no more remakes or sequels) then I'll be there.
I also have to admit, I am a huge Sci-Fi channel fan (now syfy) and watch movies there all the time. And I've gotta say, that this is much higher production values then what they release. Syfy channel films do not have this type of quality. I don't even have a problem with Syfy films at all and enjoy them for the good entertainment they are. But the reason so many people seem to love it is because this does look stellar.
Some people just don't get originality anymore and should be taken through a tutorial nowadays for these narrow minded, new generation, bloody wanks.
Dragon Con (also Dragon*Con) is a North America multigenre convention, held annually in Atlanta, Georgia. The 30,000-plus-member convention encompasses four hotels in downtown Atlanta near Centennial Olympic Park, and is hosted by a 1500-member volunteer staff. Dragon Con has hosted the 1990 Origins Game Fair and the 1995 North American Science Fiction Convention (NASFiC). Like many World Fantasy Conventions, it is operated by a private corporation, and was the subject of considerable controversy by a small segment of SMOF fandom in 1995 [2] when it was scheduled on Labor Day Weekend, often a date for domestic Worldcons. Since its inception in 1987, it has raised thousands of dollars each year for local and national charities.
Yes it looks like it would be an interesting game. Also news flash for the few..some games are based off movies, and yes the other way around. Horror isn't always about HORROR. Horror use to be more fantasy driven then anything else, especially back in Germany(the main spawning grounds of horror(film) ). Cabinet of Dr. Caligari..one of the oldest horror movies out there, was more fantasy then horror...but mainly a balanced mix back in the silent movie era along with Nosferatu. Most people just don't get that anymore..and think that horror is all about blood, and guts, and nudity. Yes those make up the old(not ancient) 60-present horror films...well most of them. Yet it's when you use them correctly that is makes an impact...not this CGI bullshit..although there are a select few good horrors that used it correctly ( Pan's Labyrinth..that's right the best when it comes to it).
I wish I was at Dragon to see this, but unfortunately some of us go to college and work for a living.
This is so very true. It's such a fantastic thing to finally see material that truly seems original and something of epic proportions.
It's a gift to genre fans who loyally appreciate new and unique ideas of which also stay true to some of the core aspects of horror, fantasy, and sci-fi. I've continually heard and seen such fantastic evidence and feedback thus far and am so looking forward to seeing this. It couldn't come soon enough.
heard they got a standing ovation at Dragon. i wish i had been there. i have to go next year
they did and they had to shut the whole panel down because they were going over time with all the questions. but the cast was cool and stayed after to sign take pictures and talk. really really cool dude
calender is marked for this can not wait for opening weekend. this will smash everything
Hate to be so judgmental towards something not even out yet but...
There really isn't many people who thought this looked like sci-fi channel original movie? Some parts of the trailer made me laugh, some guy said this got a standing ovation at some Dragoncon thing but wtf is Dragon Con? I don't wanna sound like a douchebag but that sounds so nerdy, haha, really? I mean really?
DragonCon is an incredible event with true die hard fans and about as packed as comic con in sd. this movie looks epic, visually incredible, and more original than anything i've seen in i don't know how long. this is the type of movie that will have a well deserved cult following. you've got great acting, serious action and visuals, and originality on an epic level.
You mean with winner films like Komodo vs. Cobra, Gargoyle's Revenge, Snakehead Terror, and Bats 2?? You're actually comparing this film with these original SciFi films? Wow, if you can't tell the difference you really need to do some research here. I like these other SciFi films too for what they are.
You do sound like a douchebag dissing on Dragon Con too. Why are you here then? DragonCon caters to films that are on this site. Are you going to start dissing all the members that go on here too? So you think you're cool, "Flyboy93"? Talk about gay
reminds me of 300. this is in a way higher league.
Yeah, WTF? Salem and Manson bring up good points flyboy. It's one thing to not be into a movie as we all have our own tastes but you're gonna start dissing scifi, horror, and fantasy fans on Dragon Con? Why the hell are you here then? To just start dissing the viewers here?
Go somewhere else then Flyboy93. Talk about nerdy. Did you think that up all by yourself? How old are we now? I mean, haha, really?
well im very sorry to say it, but this looks terrible..........could be a fun video game though...if the game came out first...considering on the fact most games made off of movies suck...
I'm sorry to say it, but you're in the minority here considering all the comments the majority are stating. Not sure what you consider a great film - don't even say New Moon. But this looks like Brad Dourif's best role in years.
I went to DragonCon, saw a ton of film trailers - a large amount of them boo'd by the audience, not caring if the filmmakers were there or not, and this film got heavy, roaring applause. Everyone was hollering, the audience was packed and the excitement was there. We all asked the filmmakers and cast questions and they had to stop the panel even though a flood of questions came in.
Bottom line: Brad's my boy, don't be messing with him. This film looks like it has amazing fx, - no, not of the low caliber of SyFy, and amazing acting, far better than the typical CW actors out there now cast in these films, and the most original plot I've seen in years.
As May so eliquently states, what's your alternative? What's out there that's not a sequel and is original? H2 did suck, so did FD3D, So did Whiteout, and everything else coming out I saw the first time around with a different cast years earlier.
only nerds and losers go there, to be honest. i for one am a guy who gets pussy on a regular basis and i can tell you this movie is made for nerds that like anime and that don't get laid. mainstream america will not like this movie, i can tell you! how do i know? hmm? is this just all nonsense coming from me? no, i am a film student and i can tell shit movies from ok movies, this movie is so fucking stupid i want to rid my mind from its existence.
DUDE LET'S LOOK AT ALL THE LAME COMMENTS YOU MADE AND SEE WHY YOU JUST PROVED YOU"RE NOT WORTH PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO:
"only nerds and losers go here" if that's the case, and you think that's an insult, have you not noticed that you're here?
"i for one am a guy who gets pussy on a regular basis..." that is beyond a tool comment and i seriously doubt it if you feel that you had to announce it to everyone. Are you for real?
"no, i am a film student..." which means you're not a professional and you don't know all that much (even though you obviously think you do). so, basically you have zero credibility. even i know that horror and action movies are all that mass mainstream america watches. so basically, it looks like fans know more than film students.
Oh, and when I first came across pictures of this, I was like "ehh this looks lame," but after looking into it, I can tell that this could kick some serious ass. It may suck like 90% of hollywood movies, but I'll wait until I see it to make that call.
the effects are incredible and really unbelievable on a big screen. and they did say that they were being asked to make a video game and action figures. they better do it cause this in league with star wars in terms of originality and just incredible fx.
i would so 4 sure check out a vid game
cause its both original and epic. they should do a vid game. if its anything like this then im do down 4 it. love it dude
Yeah I was gonna say that it reminded me of an action/fantasy formation and eluded to the horror aspect on a more modern level not associated with a lower production value seen at times. Originality is indeed important considering that it's a rarity. With complexities of the action sequences and the visual context this moves to the top of my list. Gladly anticipating this very much.
i could see that 4 sure. i likka da swords
this does not look as good as everyone said it looks, like i guess it isnt my forte but this looks real bad.
it may not be something of which you are quite informed upon according to your comment. heard this got a standing ovation at DragonCon
