The sequel, which reunites the original team (director Stuart Gordon, producer Brian Yuzna, writer Dennis Paoli and lead actor Jeffrey Combs), focuses on a Bush-like president who dies in office. His staff covertly brings in Dr. Herbert West to reanimate the Commander in Chief, and the expected chaos ensues.

IFC has provided Bloody with an exclusive look at a pair of alternate posters for David Guy Levy’s Would You Rather, which stars Brittany Snow (Prom Night), Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator) and Sasha Grey.
The film is currently available in select theaters, on cable VOD and other digital outlets including SundanceNow.
In the film, “In the wake of her parent’s death, Iris (Snow) struggles to make ends meet while caring for her terminally ill younger brother. Shepard Lambrick (Combs), a seemingly philanthropic aristocrat, expresses an interest in helping them. When he invites her to an exclusive dinner party, she accepts. Also attending the dinner party are seven more desperate individuals. They soon find themselves trapped in Lambrick’s mansion and forced to play a sadistic game of Would You Rather, where the winner will be awarded untold amounts of money. As the game progresses, the dilemmas Iris and the other players face grow increasingly deadly.”

Director Stuart Gordon has always been one of my favourite genre filmmakers. Overall his body of work contains a versatility and wild imagination I’ve always gravitated towards. Re-Animator still remains as the highlight of his career. Gordon’s follow-up, From Beyond arrived a year later. It’s as good of a sophomore film as one could ever hope for. Like Re-Animator, it’s a H.P. Lovecraft adaptation. From Beyond manages to be even more demented.
It’s about another obsessive scientist Dr. Pretorius (the wonderfully unhinged Ted Sorel), his assistant Crawford Tillinghast (the always engaging Jeffrey Combs) and “The Resonator”, a machine designed to stimulate the brain’s pineal gland which in turn opens ups powers of the mind. Like all mad scientists in movies, they go too far and unleash creatures from a parallel universe, as well as turning Pretorius into a deformed, hideous monster. When it comes to Lovecraft, no one handles his material better than Stuart Gordon. As grotesque as the film increasingly gets, it never once becomes mean-spirited. There’s a sense of fun, free-spirited inventiveness going on here that makes From Beyond such a compelling watch…time and time again. Gordon has a firm, confident hand on the film’s tone in the same manner he featured in Re-Animator. The horror and humour are juggled together so effortlessly. Very few genre pictures succeed in getting both to intertwine so cohesively. READ MORE

IFC continues to push out genre product as they’ve slated two for the first quarter of 2013.
Fans of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining won’t want to miss the conspiracy thriller doc Room 237, releasing on March 29. “After the box office failure of Barry Lyndon, Stanley Kubrick decided to embark on a project that might have more commercial appeal. The Shining, Stephen King’s biggest critical and commercial success yet, seemed like a perfect vehicle. After an arduous production, Kubrick’s film received a wide release in the summer of 1980; the reviews were mixed, but the box office, after a slow start, eventually picked up. End of story? Hardly. In the 30 years since the film’s release, a considerable cult of Shining devotees has emerged, fans who claim to have decoded the film’s secret messages addressing everything from the genocide of Native Americans to a range of government conspiracies. Rodney Ascher’s wry and provocative Room 237 fuses fact and fiction through interviews with cultists and scholars, creating a kaleidoscopic deconstruction of Kubrick’s still-controversial classic.”
