Easily near the top of my list of “most anticipated” upcoming horror films is Kaare Andrews’ Altitude, an H.P. Lovecraftian thriller that takes to the sky with hotties Jessica Lowndes (Autopsy, The Haunting of Molly Hartley) and Julianna Guill (Friday the 13th, My Super Psycho Sweet 16 and the forthcoming The Apparition). It was announced today that Anchor Bay has landed U.S. and U.K. rights, so takeoff shouldn’t be delayed too much longer. Read on for the skinny. (more…) READ MORE

I’m all for remakes, I really am, but if you’re going to do it, can you at least take it seriously?
