Vacancy

Dante Finds Himself in The Hole, Too!

How cool is it to see Joe Dante’s name in the trades for two days in a row? Very cool, that’s how! Yesterday we told you he’d be directing the new film from Masters of Horror writers Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan, Bat out of Hell; today he was officially attached to another outstanding horror project, The Hole.

There's Plenty of Vacancy for a Prequel

During a quick visit over to the place where film conversations go to die (IMDB), I saw that last year's motel horror pic Vacancy (review) is receiving a second serving.

Vacancy Writer in a Hole

I wonder if anyone will confuse this new movie called The Hole with the Thora Birch film of the same name from a few years back. I also wonder why the hell screenwriters/studios can’t be a little more creative with their goddamn titles.

Posters Opened, Trapped

Two cool new posters for two very questionable films showed up online yesterday, and we thought you guys would dig ‘em. First one comes from Arrow in the Head and is for the Elisha Cuthbert-starer Captivity, the trailer for which wore out its welcome about three films into this past November’s After Dark HorrorFest for me.

Vacancy Trailer Freaks

Though the first few stills that came out for the horror movie Vacancy, which stars Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale, didn’t give the most exciting first impression, the trailer that just showed up on Yahoo! Movies definitely does. The duo star as a couple who check into a rundown motel after having some car problems and discover that their room seems to be used for snuff films as a regular practice. They try to escape, but as the trailer asks, how can you escape when they see everything?

Kate Fills a Vacancy

With Sarah Jessica Parker out of the horror picture Vacancy, I’m sure its producers were freaking out a bit as to what kind of name actress they could get to take her place. It’s not often Parker agrees to horror, so her departure wasn’t too suprising, and I'm happy to report that her replacement is far more desirable.
