After playing last year’s Sundance Film Festival, Katie Aselton‘s Black Rock was acquired by LD Entertainment (The Collection) for a theatrical run. The thriller stars Aselton, Lake Bell, Kate Bosworth, Jay Paulson, Anslem Richardson and Will Bouvier.

Aselton and Bell’s characters in the film have a troubled history to say the least. I caught up with the pair last week at the SLS Hotel in Los Angeles to talk about the challenges of their roles and the vigors of shooting on location (and in continuity). READ MORE

Exclusive

[Video Interview] Marlon Wayans Says ‘A Haunted House’ Has More Plot Than All Four ‘Paranormal Activity’ Movies Combined

In theaters January 11 from Open Road Films is Michael Tiddes’ A Haunted House, co-written by and starring Marlon Wayans. Also starring Cedric The Entertainer, David Koechner, Nick Swardson and Essence Atkins. In the Wayans family tradition of successful movies like Scary Movie 1 & 2, Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, and, most recently, Dance Flick, Marlon Wayans co-wrote the script for A Haunted House, along with Rick Alvarez, who has produced several Wayans family movies.

[Video Interview] Alexandra Daddario And Trey Songz On ‘Texas Chainsaw 3D’!

Lionsgate’s Texas Chainsaw 3D picks up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace. The sequel was directed by John Luessenhop from a screenplay by Adam Marcus, Debra Sullivan and Kirsten Elms.

I recently sat down with stars Alexandra Daddario and Trey Songz – who play a young couple in the film – to talk about the challenges of working with Leatherface and just how much the iconic original film influenced this one.

“Texas Chainsaw 3D picks up decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre seen in Tobe Hooper’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In it, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansion’s dank cellars.

I’ll have a more in-depth interview with Daddario (along with the film’s other stars and director John Luessenhop) posted tomorrow, but in the meantime head inside to check this one out! Texas Chainsaw 3D hits theaters this Friday, January 4th. READ MORE

[Video Interview] Don Coscarelli And Paul Giamatti On ‘John Dies At The End’!!

Magnet Releasing will unleash John Dies at the End (review), the sci-fi/horror movie from horror icon Don Coscarelli (Phantasm, Bubba Ho-Tep) On-Demand tomorrow. To that end, I recently sat down with Coscarelli and star Paul Giamatti (Sideways, “John Adams”) to talk about what attracted them to such strange material. For Coscarelli, it was chance. For Giamatti, well, he connected with it immediately.

In ‘John Dies at the End’, it’s all about the Soy Sauce, a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. Users drift across time and dimensions. But some who come back are no longer human. Suddenly a silent otherworldly invasion is underway, and mankind needs a hero. What it gets instead is John (Rob Mayes) and David (Chase Williamson), a pair of college dropouts who can barely hold down jobs. Can these two stop the oncoming horror in time to save humanity? No.No, they can’t.”

John Dies At The End hits from Magnet On-Demand tomorrow December 27, 2012 and is in theaters February 3, 2013. You can find more on the film’s Facebook page Head inside for the interview! READ MORE

THE APPARITION

[Video Interview] Ashley Greene On The Difference Between ‘Twilight’ And ‘The Apparition’, How She’d Like To Die In A Horror Movie

Warner Bros. will release writer/director Todd Lincoln’s The Apparition at the end of the week. The film stars Ashley Greene as Kelly, a young woman whose new home is brought under siege by an evil spirit. I sat down with Greene on Monday at the Four Seasons here in Los Angeles and we talked about how The Apparition differs from her work in the Twilight saga, whether or not she believes in ghosts – and what she would consider the ultimate way to go out in a horror film.

In the film, “When frightening events start to occur in their home, young couple Kelly (Ashley Greene) and Ben (Sebastian Stan) discover they are being haunted by a presence that was accidentally conjured during a university parapsychology experiment. The horrifying apparition feeds on their fear and torments them no matter where they try to run. Their last hope is an expert in the supernatural (Tom Felton), but even with his help they may already be too late to save themselves from this terrifying force…

Head inside for the interview. The Apparition appears in theaters this Friday, August 24th. READ MORE
