The Crazies: A Slick Horror Movie Remake

A remake to a lesser-known entry in the George A. Romero living-dead oeuvre, “The Crazies”, embraced the same story about a virus which infected residents of an idyllic town who start killing their friends and neighbors. While "The Crazies" isn't a zombie movie per se, it derives much of its horror from the same fear. As a hybrid of the zombie genre, apocalyptic bioterror, and military conspiracy thriller, the film looks to be a moody and atmospheric horror, with at least some anticipation that there's

Welcome Back To Your Nightmare On Elm Street

Remakes are a trendy form of creative expression through reinterpretation, or just an indication of ultimate stagnation? Sometimes certain films really requiring an update but most of those beloved pieces are just best left alone and don’t need any alternative viewpoint. One perfect example of how bad it can be when someone trying to mess around with a perfect classic work is absolutely the modern version of “Psycho”. And if you want to expand the list, so the remakes of 80’s slashers with their few re-interpretations worth mentioning and

The Wolfman

R | 1 hr 42 mins | Horror Movie
The WolfmanScreenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker pens a film directed by Joe Johnston and featuring creature effects by special-effects makeup legend Rick Baker.
Synopsis:
Universal Studios resurrects the classic lycanthrope with this story of an American who gets an unsettling transformation after returning to his ancestral home in Victorian era Great Britain and gets assaulted by a rampaging lycanthrope. His brother having lately disappeared without a trace, haunted nobleman Lawrence Talbot (Benicio Del Toro) returns to his family land to investigate. What he discovers upon reuniting with his estranged father (Anthony Hopkins), yet, is a fortune right darker than his darkest nightmares. As a young boy, the untimely death of his mother made Talbot to grow up before his time. Though Talbot would attempt to bury his hurt in the past by leaving the quiet Victorian village of Blackmoor behind, the past comebacks with a payback when his brother's fiancée, Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt), converts him to return home and aid the search for his losing brother. But something great has been stalking the residents of Blackmoor from the night shadows, something not quite man. Not even recently arrived Scotland Yard inspector Aberline (Hugo Weaving) can dreaming over a logical explanation for the terrible spell that has been cast over Blackmoor, yet rumors of an old curse persist to this very day. Accordant to fable, the afflicted will experience a horrific shift by the light of the full moon, their animal rage getting far excessively strong for their human bodies to contain. Now, the woman Talbot loves is in mortal danger, and in order to protect her he must adventure into the moony forest and destroy the beast before it destructs her. But this isn't your typical track down, because before the beast can be doomed, a easy man will uncover a primal side of himself that he never knew existed. Screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker pens a film directed by Joe Johnston and featuring creature effects by special-effects makeup legend Rick Baker.

Money Never Sleeps Cause Every Dream Has A Price

The 1987 film “Wall Street” is nicely directed by Oliver Stone and it's a film about playing the stock market game and essentially one of the few cinematic portrayals of Wall Street I could think of. The world of business and finance is featured in only a handful of movies, at least as far as I know. Watching this movie is almost like watching actual footage of a typical day of stock trading.
