In UK cinemas on December 22 is Ringu director Hideo Nakata’s English-language Chatroom, a psychological thriller about teenagers who encourage each other’s destructive behavior. Word is that this isn’t very good, but I can’t say he’s done anything good from The Ring Two on. But one can only hope. What do you think of the trailer inside? Would you see this? (more…) READ MORE

I saw it at Sundance 2009 with Jonathan Liebesman’s The Killing Room, the UK just saw the release of The Exam, and both were inspired by numerous films over the years (ranging from Cube to Battle Royale) — Japanese director Hideo Nakata (Ringu, The Ring Two) hopes to do a better job when he pays his subjects $1,200 a day to play a new twisted game entitled The Incite Mill. Read on for the skinny. (more…) READ MORE
Y2K, 9/11, war and a a horrid recession, a major escape we had this decade was in the form of film, notorious for thriving during National crisis. Leading up to New Year’s Eve where we’ll ring in 2010, Bloody Disgusting will be looking back at the entire decade year by year through the eyes of various staff writers. Check back each day for a profound reflection from Ryan Daley, David Harley, Tex, BC and yours truly. Inside you’ll find Tex Massacre’s personal look back at the year 2005, the birth of so-called “torture porn”! Please share your memories for each year below, there are so many stories to be told!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: this has been a great decade for horror films. Anyone who doesn’t think so simply hasn’t been paying attention. Of course, those successes likely wouldn’t have felt as sweet had there not been about four or five times as many bad ones, and following from that observation I’ve sifted through the cinematic garbage bin to put together this list of the worst. We’re not talking direct-to-DVD bargain-bin burners here; we normally expect those to be bad. We’re talking studio-released, mostly moderate-to-big-budget disasters with a lot of marketing and moolah behind them. These aren’t the hand grenades; these are the atom bombs whose explosions of craptastic-ness were too big to ignore. They’re listed in order of release rather than badness, since there’s just no way to rank these suckers in any meaningful order. They’re all terrible in their own unique and special way.

Bloody Disgusting learned tis afternoon that there is brand new “talk” of continuing on with The Ring franchise with a potential third film in 3-D. No other details were available at this time. Originally conceived as a trilogy (much like the Japanese originals), in the 2002 remake by Gore Verbinski, which grossed nearly $250m at the box office worldwide , a young journalist must investigate a mysterious videotape which seems to cause the death of anyone in a week of viewing it. The sequel, The Ring Two, took in over $150m. Verbinski’s remake is critically acclaimed, and in my opinion, one of the best horror films this decade. What do you think about Samara returning in 3-D?

I couldn’t even tell you how long ago it was that Paramount Pictures announced their plans to remake the classic Asian horror pic The Eye. Over the course of the years, it was announced that Hideo Nakata (The Ring Two) would helm the pic (blech) and Renee Zellweger would star (but would soon drop out). The trail seemed cloudy and after The Ring Two bombed the fog thickened – I was pretty sure we’d never see it. But alas horror fans, the great Lionsgate is picking up the rights and is already eyeing Jessica Alba to star and in talks to have French helmers David Moreau and Xavier Palud direct! Read on for the skinny and say goodbye to Hideo… (more…) READ MORE
Today New Line Cinema launched their official website for Final Destination 3, which we showed you the poster for two days ago here. To watch the trailer, you just need to check out the website by clicking above, and hopefully you’ve got a good connection (and a good computer) or you won’t be able to watch it. Set six years after the original Final Destination film, the latest installment in the series, which hits theaters February 10th, centers around a high school senior who has a premonition of a fatal roller coaster accident involving herself and all her friends. When the premonition proves true, those who have “cheated death” and survived the accident are forced to deal with the repercussions of escaping their fate. Cheating Death: Final Destination 3 stars Ryan Merriman (The Ring Two) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. The film is directed by James Wong (Final Destination). (more…) READ MORE
Man oh man, this is easily one of the absolute worst pieces of news I’ve ever had to report. I mean this is bad, even worse than C-C’s joke about Ryan Phillippe playing Leatherface years ago- which is also a hint at who I’m talking about. So what could be worse than Hideo Nakata directing The Eye remake, whom is the same man who destroyed his own franchise with The Ring Two? Read on and prepare to gouge your eyes out… (more…) READ MORE
