The 13 scariest moments of the decade

Rare exports red band trailer

Rare exports was one of the best movies from this year Sitges film festival. It won not just best director and best movie awards, but  it also won the best cinematography award. The film is quite fun, "original and fresh", according to the jury of the festival and now a new red band trailer hits the web.

Synopsis:

"It's the eve of Christmas in northern Finland and an "archeological" dig has just unearthed the real Santa Claus. But this particular Santa isn't the one you want coming to town. When all the local children begin mysteriously disappearing, young Pietari and his father Rauno, a reindeer hunter by trade, capture the mythological being and attempt to sell Santa to the misguided leader of the multinational corporation sponsoring the dig. Santa's elves, however, will stop at nothing to free their fearless leader from captivity. What ensues is a wildly humorous nightmare - a fantastically bizarre polemic on modern day morality. Rare exports: a christmas tale is a re-imagining of the most classic of all childhood fantasies, and is a darkly comic gem soon to be required perennial holiday viewing".

Video Games - E3 2011

Duncan Jones keeps fighting to become one of the great names in filmmaking world right now. First was that amazing movie called Moon. Now, Jones wants to play with time travel and terrorism. The first Source Code trailer has just hit the web and it looks pretty damm cool. Here is the official synopsis...

When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code," a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack.

HAMMER: The art of the myths

Hammer Film Productions is a film production company based in the United Kingdom. Founded in 1934, the company is best known for his series of Gothic horror films. They were low budget but never foolish movies made with passion and love for horror, monsters and dark creatures. The huge success of the company came to an end when it was forced to "close down" after seeing how Hammer movies weren´t successfull anymore. Now, at the end of 2010, Let me in marked the resurrection of a myth, a new era for horror movies. Hammer has began to shoot and produce horror films again, great news for horror fans; almost as good news as the releasing of The art of Hammer, a full coloured book where you can see hammer posters and drawings of the company´s movies. As we can read on Arrow, the book runs at 192 pages and it will be published this month (Nov. 23rd) by Titan Books.

Guillermo del Toro meets The Hulk

Guillermo del Toro is teaming up with Battlestar Galactica´s executive producer David Eick  to make a comic fans dream come true. Not as long ago ABC annauced that they were trying to make a Hulk TV show and apparently it´s going to happen.

It will mark Marvel’s first series project for ABC Studios since Disney's acquisition of Marvel last year and the launch of Marvel's TV division in June. It also marks del Toro's first TV project. Unlike the two Hulk movies, in which the monster was a pure CGI creation, the show will make the creature mixing prosthetics, puppetry and CGI. Del Toro and Eick will break the story for the pilot script together, while del Toro could direct the pilot subjet to his availability. Eick definided the chance of working with del Toro as a "dream opportunity" to join one of his all-time filmmaking heroes "in a faithful but unique retelling of the primal, emotionally-rich tale" of one of his favourite comic books. 

Del Toro is also working on his all-life dreamed movie, At the mountains of madness, with James Cameron. He is also releasing worldwide The Fall, the second novel in a vampire trilogy of books written hand to hand with Chuck Hogan. The upcoming movies Julia´s eyes and Dont be afraid of the dark are also produced by the mexican director, with whom everyone seems to want to work nowdays.

"I do it because I have to... To survive"

The video you can check below is a chilling and tremendous deleted scence from Let me in. It´s just another proof of how oustanding these two kids are (Chloe Moretz and Kodi Smith-McPhee). The movie, which is great but not such a masterpiece as the first one, it´s playing now around the world.

Twelve-year old Owen, who is viciously bullied by his classmates and neglected by his divorcing parents. Achingly lonely, Owen spends his days plotting revenge on his middle school tormentors and his evenings spying on the other inhabitants of his apartment complex. His only friend is his new neighbor Abby, an eerily self-possessed young girl who lives next door with her silent father. A frail, troubled child about Owens’s age, Abby emerges from her heavily curtained apartment only at night and always barefoot, seemingly immune to the bitter winter elements. Recognizing a fellow outcast, Owen opens up to her and before long, the two have formed a unique bond.

When a string of grisly murders puts the town on high alert, Abby’s father disappears, and the terrified girl is left to fend for herself. Still, she repeatedly rebuffs Owen’s efforts to help her and her increasingly bizarre behavior leads the imaginative Owen to suspect she’s hiding an unthinkable secret.
