Horror Documentary ‘The Frankenstein Complex’ Coming to UK Next Month
About a year ago, Brad posted a story about the creature FX documentary The Frankenstein Complex, which looks at the world of FX makers and the creations they produce.
The documentary includes interviews with some of the very best in the business, including Rick Baker, Joe Dante, Greg Nicotero, Guillermo del Toro, and more.
From King Kong to Avatar, from Star Wars to Lord of the Rings, movie creatures have never been as popular as they are today! Yet the art of creating monsters for the big screen is as old as cinema itself… From early experiments with apes and dinosaurs to the birth of special make-up effects, from the pinnacle of animatronics to the digital revolution, ‘Creature Designers: The Frankenstein Complex’ explores a century of human imagination, cinematic thrills and wonders.
Based on interviews of all the greatest artists in the genre and hours of exclusive footage from classics like Gremlins, The Abyss, Terminator 2, Jurassic Park, Starship Troopers, Spider-Man 2 …, the documentary focuses on the stunning relationship between the creatures and their makers: like modern Frankensteins, special effects wizards create life out of raw material, art and complex machinery.
The Frankenstein Complex is coming to UK home video on Monday, October 3rd. Pre-orders are available via Amazon.
The highest grossing horror movie of the year (so far), Curry Barker’s Obsession has been absolutely dominating the box office for over a month now, with the film scaring up $334 million at the worldwide box office (so far). Obsession will likely continue to make money in theaters for several more weeks, but when will the horror hit be available to watch at home?
Obsession is being released on Digital outlets at home on Tuesday, June 30!
At the time of this article being written, Obsession has made $217 million at the U.S. box office and $334 million worldwide, and the box office momentum is showing no signs of dramatically slowing down. The word-of-mouth on Curry Barker’s horror movie has been absolutely off the charts, with the film holding strong and even gaining momentum from week-to-week.
Needless to say, it’s probably likely that an Obsession sequel won’t be too far behind. Curry Barker has an idea for one, in fact, but don’t expect Barker to jump right into Obsession 2.
Instead, Curry Barker is putting the finishing touches on his already-shot next feature Anything But Ghosts, while he also just set up a new original horror movie at Blumhouse & Universal.
He’s also attached to direct the next Texas Chainsaw Massacre movie.
In Curry Barker’s theatrical debut Obsession, after breaking the mysterious One Wish Willow to win his crush’s heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.
Inde Navarrette (“Superman & Lois”) and Michael Johnston (“Teen Wolf”) star.
