New It's Alive! Trailer

It looks way more polished than I would have thought, but then with names like Bijou Phillips attached, I guess low-budget slaughter isn’t really on the plate. Below you can see the Cannes promo trailer for the remake of It’s Alive!, in which Phillips stars as a new mother whose infant has a pesky habit of killing when it’s scared.

It's Alive Again

Man, why can’t they leave the Larry Cohen movies alone? Though I admit the original It’s Alive left much to be desired in terms of effects, the film itself was damn fine and indicative of the timeframe in which it was set; far from timeless, It’s Alive is a snapshot of a very specific period in history that just can't be duplicated. Now a new picture is being taken and something tells me its being done with a cheap-ass Polaroid.

Has Roth Found His Girls?

Eli Roth has insisted over and over again that Hostel 2, the craftily titled sequel to Hostel, will be dumping all the comedy that made the first film so odd and keeping a straight face throughout. Serious is good with this kind of film, and the girls he’s looking at for the leads have all shown off their chops in the past.
