Monsters

Hailing from Memphis, Tennessee, rock band Skillet recently released their seventh studio album, entitled Awake, which features the single "Monster". Skillet is currently on tour, but lead singer John Cooper took some time out to write a Top Ten list of his favorite monsters, both in the movies and real life, and has offered to share it exclusively with Dread Central's readers.

If you were amongst the people rendered giddy by the news a few weeks back that Sylvester Stallone was readying a fifth Rambo movie that would have him on a savage hunt in search of a genetically engineered predatory monster (story here), Stallone still intends to tackle that monster but no longer with the character of John Rambo.

We don't know about you guys, but one remake we're completely on board for is Louis Leterrier's version of the creature-laden classic Clash of the Titans. After seeing the teaser trailer, we're completely stoked. Yes, it has a LOT of CGI, but something about the subject matter is just irresistible.

Various sites including AICN and HitFlix scored themselves an early look at some truly basass teaser posters for Louis Leterrier's version of the creature-laden classic Clash of the Titans, but as expected, they were yanked. But that hasn't stopped fans from posting and reposting them everywhere.

Brian Yuzna has returned to the director's chair with a 3D monster flick that will hopefully get you all wrapped up! The news broke while we all gear up for AFM that Yuzna tackled a little film called Amphibious 3D, which centers on what happens when a marine research expedition to the exotic Sumatran Sea turns treacherous as it encounters a supernatural prehistoric creature resurfacing with a vengeance.

The Host 2, it seems, has been lingering in pre-production for an eternity. And while today’s story yields another one of those, “yep, it’s coming … eventually” type of updates, there’s also some cool news about an interactive adaptation of the perpetually upcoming sequel.

We all love monster movies. Something about a cool-ass beast feasting upon the innocent or just plain unlucky really gets the blood pumping. Oh wait ... did I say Feast? Wait until you guys see this!

We've been waiting with bated breath, and yes, bitten nails, for further news about Patrick Rea's second feature film, Nailbiter, and our patience paid off today when Rea sent over the flick's second teaser trailer. From the looks of things, a storm is coming indeed!

It was nearly two years ago that I first told you of a creature feature called The Platform starring William Forsythe and Art LaFleur about a crew trapped aboard an oil rig with a mutant monster. Been so long I had completely forgotten about the film until the other day when I decided to check on the status of it. At the time information was scarce. Now I find the film has a new title - The Rig, a new website, and a new trailer.

We told you about Larry Fessenden's latest production for Glass Eye Pix, James Felix McKenney's Hypothermia, a couple of weeks ago, but other than a quick teaser trailer, there really wasn't a whole lot of info available. Today, however, a little bit more light was shed on things in the form of a synopsis.

We don't know about you guys, but one remake we're completely on board for is Louis Leterrier's version of the creature-laden classic Clash of the Titans. Sure it's gonna be missing that stop-motion Harryhausen charm the original had, but the story is so timeless that an update with current day effects work could be pretty interesting. Ready for a peek?

We live in strange times. Sylvester Stallone wants to do another Rambo sequel. No surprise there. Now he's talking about making it PG-13, which is nearly impossible to fathom, especially after the all-out bloodbath that was last year's Rambo. But even more perplexing is that it looks to be heading into the direction of sci-fi action horror with John Rambo tracking a genetically engineered monster run amok. We're a long way removed from First Blood now.

Neil Marshall dropped a great film on us with his spelunking gone completely awry horror opus The Descent, and now its sequel looks set to savage us once again. Can it fill the very big blood-soaked shoes left behind by Marshall? Check out the trailer, and tell us what you think!

Everyone knows about the Loch Ness Monster. Most know about Canada's Ogopogo and Lake Champlain's "Champ". But how familiar are you with the Lake Van Monster? That might be because you don't live in Turkey. The lake and its alleged monster are quite the Turkish tourist attraction, and now they are about to be the subject of their first ever feature film.
