[BD Review] Brad Says ‘Dark Skies’ Takes The “Slow Burn” To An Unfortunate Extreme

Dark Skies, the slow burn psychological horror film starring Keri Russell, Daniel Barrett and Josh Hamilton hits theaters today from Dimension Films. Brad (Mr. Disgusting) wasn’t a fan. At all. I’ve also seen the film and, while I dislike it a bit less than him, I have to agree with the points he makes in his review. Most of the issues stem from the script by Scott Charles Stewart (who also directed). READ MORE

5 Questions With Josh Hamilton Of ‘Dark Skies’

Josh Hamilton (Away We Go, Outsourced) has his work cut out for him in Dark Skies. He plays Daniel Barrett, whose wife (Keri Russell) and kids (Dakota Goyo and Kaden Rockett) – not to mention himself – are being tormented by sinister forces. Hamilton is required to straddle the line between skeptical and protective and it’s something he pulls off well. READ MORE

5 Questions With J.K. Simmons Of ‘Dark Skies’

Much of the Dark Skies promotional campaign has focussed on stars Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton. But the horror film has another key player, J.K. Simmons (Juno, Burn After Reading, Jennifer’s Body) plays Edwin Pollard, an “expert” on the phenomena that the Barrett family is experiencing. Simmons is one of my favorite performers, so I jumped at the chance to speak with him. READ MORE

[Trailer Tracks] Dissecting The ‘Dark Skies’ Trailer

Movie commercials offer us a great service; they not only show us which upcoming movies look good, but also which ones to avoid. And if one looks closely, they often reveal more than intended about the film in question. In honor of this profound art, I give you TRAILER TRACKS, an examination of upcoming movie commercials: What they say, what they don’t say, and what they say on accident about the product being sold to you, the excited chump.

Trailer Premiere For Alien Abduction Horror ‘Dark Skies’

In theaters February 22 from Dimension Films is Dark Skies, the alien abduction horror film starring Keri Russell, Daniel Barrett and Josh Hamilton. The trailer premiered today, and while the aliens stuff on “American Horror Story: Asylum” is definitely scarier, this looks like it has potential (or maybe I was tricked by the Aliens score at the end?). I’m intrigued by the family abuse angle, which hightens the story a bit past where a film like Fire in the Sky went (although that it was one, if not THE scariest alien abduction film ever made).

[Interview] Producer Jason Blum Talks ‘Insidious 2′, ‘Paranormal Activity 5′, ‘Dark Skies’ And ‘The Purge’ At The Opening Of ‘Blumhouse Of Horrors’!

Last night I attended a preview of Jason Blum’s Los Angeles haunted attraction, “The Blumhouse Of Horrors”. While what I saw wasn’t 100% finished, it was certainly impressive. It’s not so much a maze as it is a building full of haunts, characters, magic and smoke. I took a guided tour, which is not a VIP thing, it’s how the attraction is meant to be experienced since your guides are pretty creepy as well. There’s a lot of cool stuff to see (and feel – I know BD alum Brian Collins even got zapped). There’s also a neat feature that had the claustrophobic in me absolutely reeling. If you live in LA, and are a fan of haunted houses, I certainly recommend it. READ MORE
