Woman (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: Anna Paquin

Gather ’round my Little Monsters, gather ’round! That midweek celebration of a wonderful Woman of Horror is here for your reading pleasure. With this particular actress you’ll have folks that know her as Rogue and those who know her as Sookie, but regardless of how you know of her you have to admit Anna Paquin is a versatile talent. Anna was born a Canuck in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, as the youngest of Mary and Brian Paquin’s three children. At four years of age, she and her family relocated to Wellington, New Zealand, where she spent several years growing up as a Kiwi. It was during her family’s time in New Zealand that Anna would earn her life changing acting role. Jane Campion’s film, The Piano, was set to roll cameras in New Zealand, and the role of young Flora still needed to be cast. Anna auditioned for the role and beat out thousands of other young hopefuls, including her own

Another ‘Nosferatu’ Remake Is One More Nail In The Coffin Of Genre Creativity

Nosferatu- this is a word you’re all familiar with, isn’t that right my Little Monsters? The word has about as many explanations regarding its meaning and origin as there have been films made about the creature the word represents. Frankly, fans of vampire movies aren’t likely to care much about the word’s true origin, as much as they will care about sub-par movie representations of their favorite blood sucking creatures of the night. One can safely say that Vampire movies have always been something of a cash cow for studios. Especially since, for better or worse, filmmakers are always finding new ways to keep said subject matter alive, or perhaps undead would be a better way of putting it. Of course this doesn’t stop the studios from trying to squeeze every last cinematic drop of blood they can from the king of the vampires himself, Count Dracula. The most recent attempt at telling the Dracula story was the origin piece

‘The Monster Project’ Creeping onto VOD August 18th

The most meta monster movie of the year is creeping it’s way onto VOD August 18th with the release of Victor Mathieu’s The Monster Project. Following a group of Youtubers seeking to expand their subscriber account. In the process they “post an online casting call for “real life” monsters to interview for their documentary. They find three participants and choose to film them sharing their haunted experiences in a mansion in the woods on the night of a lunar eclipse. The production suddenly turns into a nightmare when the participants transform into a real vampire, demon, and skinwalker (a type of harmful witch, according to Navajo legends, that can transform into any animal with the intent of harming people), forcing the unsuspecting crew to fight for their lives.” A trio of powerful monsters slaying annoying bloggers? Sounds like my kind of movie!

Is ‘The Dark Tower’ Really That Bad?

No, it’s not…..but probably only if you already know the source material. The Dark Tower might seriously be the only movie I ever thought was actually too short. I really do enjoy a concise piece of cinema; Lord of the Rings withstanding, a pretty standard mistake in films, both masterpieces and massacred pieces, is a run time that’s just too long. The infamous bar scene in Inglorious Basterds, the highway opening of Manos: Hands of Fate, pretty much the entirety of The Room; many films, hits and shits alike, often could use a little more time in the cutting room, whether it be the result of overindulgent directors or expensive set pieces the studio doesn’t want to go to waste. However this is not so in The Dark Tower, which is without a doubt one of the most hopelessly confusing films in modern memory. Guess it wasn’t the greatest idea to condense seven novels into 95 minutes (and thats including
