OMFG of the Day: See Two Totally Badass Images From ‘Insidious’!

Even through the first clip, trailer, poster and first batch of stills from Insidious, I’ve yet to see anything that truly represents what James Wan’s latest has to offer.

This morning I scored two brand new hi-res stills from the Poltergeist-inspired supernatural horror that are 100% badass. One portrays genre fav Lin Shaye in a gas mask, while the other gives you the first ever look at a demon in the film. Creepy is simply an understatement. Both images finally represent what the film is about, as explained in my review from last September.

Torque director Joseph Kahn is bringing this stylish commercial directing to this month’s SXSW Film Festival as they’ll be holding the world premiere of Detention, his slasher film that look like Scream meets Prom Night meets a SyFy original, with the Burger King’s Queen as the killer, as we previously reported.

‘Detention’ tells the story of the senior class at Grizzly Lake high school. The road to graduation is never an easy one, but it’s further complicated for these students by the arrival of a slasher movie killer who has seemingly come to life. The only ones who can stop the killer are a handful of students, but they’ll have to cut out of detention if they’re to stand a chance at saving the world.” Josh Hutcherson, Dane Cook, Shanley Caswell, Spencer Locke, Parker Bagley, Alison Woods, Walter Perez, and Carrie Wiita all star.

SXSW ’11: ‘Attack the Block’ Trailer Reminds Me of When Movies Were Fun!

Remember the days when you’d be watching Showtime or TMC and they’d play House, Night of the Creeps, Fright Night or even Monster Squad? There was something special about that time where movies were always engaging and fun. Maybe it was seeing someone closer to your age battling ghouls, or something else, but when I finished watching the trailer for Joe Cornish’s Attack the Block I had “that” feeling.

Inside you’ll find the trailer debut for the alien invasion horror film which stars Jodie Whittaker, John Boyega, Alex Esmail, Franz Drameh, Leeon Jones, Simon Howard, Luke Treadaway, Jumayn Hunter, and Nick Frost in a film that follows a gang of South London teenagers defending their housing project home against an alien attack.

Meet the “Haunted” Child in ‘Insidious’ Poster Debut

Updated with hi-res version of the poster.

FilmDistrict has given Yahoo! the exclusive drop on the official one sheet for Insidious (review), Saw co-creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell’s latest horror collaboration that possesses theaters on April 1. Unfortunately they opted for a lo-res debut, so it’s hard to tell what’s flickering in the “haunted” child’s eye — although, it’s still a pretty eye-catching poster.

In the pic starring Rose Byrne, Patrick Wilson, and Barbara Hershey, “a young family makes the terrifying discovery that the body of their comatose boy has become a magnet for malevolent entities, while his consciousness lies trapped in the dark and insidious realm known as The Further.

SXSW ’11: Trailers, Clips, Posters, Images from Carpenter-Inspired ‘Phase 7′!!

Just announced as part of this March’s SXSW Film Festival, early indication was that Nicolas Goldbart’s Argentinean Phase 7 (Fase 7) wasn’t good for our audience. I think I judged way too soon.

This afternoon I made a few calls and got my hands on the official festival poster, images, a Metallica-rocking international trailer, a Dawn of the Dead-ish festival trailer, and an exclusive clip that also taps musically into Assault on Precinct 13.

From the executive producer of Paranormal Activity, Phase 7 looks like it taps into early Romero and can be described as a cross between The Crazies, Dawn of the Dead and 28 Days Later. We’re told Goldbart loves Carpenter and used temp music from Assault on Precinct 13, The Thing and Escape From New York.

Starring Daniel Hendler, Federico Luppi, Jazmin Stuart, and Jose “Yayo” Guridi, “Coco just moved to his new apartment with 7-month pregnant wife. When the building is in quarantined for a deadly flue. The neighbors became unexpected enemies.”

SXSW ’11: Devil Worshippers Attack in ‘Kill List’!

It’s rare when a movie gets made the entire team behind it keep their lips sealed until a festival. I mean, it’s got to be hard not to share your creativity with the world, no?

First discovered back in May, Ben Wheatley’s Kill List, which stars Neil Maskell, Michael Smiley, and MyAnna Buring, was announced as part of the Austin, Texas SXSW Film Festival. No details were revealed, but we’re so on top of our sh*t we’re excited to tell you that it’s about a group of demobbed soldiers turned contract killers who run up against a devil-worshipping coven (sounds a bit like what Rob Zombie is up to with The Lords of Salem). Anyways, here’s the super secret plot crunch and first ever hi-res still:

Beginning 8 months after a disastrous job in Kiev left him physically and mentally scarred, ex-soldier turned contract killer Jay, is pressured by his partner Gal, into taking a tough new assignment. As they descend into the dark, disturbing world of the contract, Jay begins to unravel once again – his fear and paranoia sending him deep into the heart of darkness.

SXSW ’11: New Look at Michael Biehn in ‘The Divide’

To survive the end of the world…you must first survive each other…

How many of you are fans of Frontier(s)? Yeah, me too. I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to see Xavier Gens’ quasi-anthology The Divide, which will premiere at this March’s SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

Starring Michael Biehn, Milo Ventimiglia, Rosanna Arquette, Courtney B. Vance, and LaurenGerman, “the segments include a post-apocalyptic thriller set mostly in an apartment building fallout shelter, a serial-killer thriller about a woman afflicted with “face blindness,” and a coming-of-age story about a young girl seeking out her birth mother.

German’s character is at the center of the film, set in New York, which is virtually destroyed in a mysterious explosion in the first act. Eight survivors take refuge in the fallout shelter of an apartment building, where they are menaced first by mysterious men in HazMat suits and eventually by each other.

BD Review: Another Look at James Wan’s ‘Insidious’

This past summer Bloody Disgusting caught the world premiere screening of Saw co-creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell’s Insidious (review here) and loved it.

In the film starring Rose Byrne, Patrick Wilson, and Barbara Hershey, a young family makes the terrifying discovery that the body of their comatose boy has become a magnet for malevolent entities, while his consciousness lies trapped in the dark and insidious realm known as The Further.

New BD stringer Lianne Spiderbaby was also on hand and asked if she could submit her thoughts on the Poltergeist-esque thriller, which you’ll find by reading beyond the break. Also note that the version that we saw will be vastly different than what you see in theaters on April 1st as Wan went back for some hefty additional photography.
