Peter Dinklage meanwhile mines the standard Hollywood heavy role for an unexpected haul of gangster gravitas. And with his turn as Roman Lunyov, the former black sheep of the Lannister family in Game of Thrones joins the likes of Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando, Wesley Snipes, and Humphrey Bogart as memorable cinema crime bosses.…

New DVD releaserevisit, scariest, scenes

Star Wars is by no means a horror franchise, but that doesn’t stop it from having some absolutely terrifying scenes. “Fear may be a path to the Dark Side but it’s not something most people associate with Star Wars.

They’re in there though and this Halloween, we’ve gone ahead and picked our favorite scary scenes in Star Wars, in chronological order.” Read more at Gizmodo. Are you a Stephen King fan with $30,000…

Contains spoilers for the movie Lake Mungo. “We were thinking it’d be nice if we could make a film that was kind of a curiosity, but if you saw it years from now you wouldn’t know anything about where it came from.” This quote from a 2009 interview with Lake Mungo director Joel Anderson proved to be strangely prescient. Anderson was speaking ahead of the film’s screening at the Brisbane Film Festival – the movie had already premiered at the Sydney Film Festival, played South by Southwest in the US, and would go on to tour several more festivals before…

20 Scariest Horror Games Ever Made

New DVD releaseGames, horror, scariest

Video games have been trying to scare us since the early ’80s. While the seminal Haunted House Atari game, one of the earliest survival horror games, presented its scares through a mix of heavily-pixelated ghosts and spiders that weren’t so frightening at all, it was indicative of where the genre would one day go. With another push, thanks to titles such as Sweet Home and Alone in the Dark, the survival horror genre would give birth to some of its most frightening creations: Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Eternal Darkness, and Dead Space, to name a few.  Today, the genre lives on and continues to evolve. From interactive horror…

The Scariest Films Ever Made and How They Frighten Us

New DVD releasefilms, frighten, scariest

It was while I was researching The Book of Horror, an illustrated guide to the scariest movies ever made, that I first started seeing things.  Not the full Haley Joel Osment, you understand, but what we’ll call a seventh sense. I’d catch glimpses of something out of the corner of my eye, and my mind would fill in the blanks with spooky imagery because I was consuming so much of it.  It didn’t help that my son had just been born. Lack of sleep combined with horror movie overload is a condition I wouldn’t wish on anyone. Night becomes dawn…
