Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

Starring an actor who started out in a soap, Guy Pierce, and someone who is better know as being Mrs Tom Cruise, Optimum gives us the US remake of "one of the scariest movies ever made".

Don't fall for the trick that the poster has. This being the large "Guillermo del Toro presents" at the top. No, before you ask, he didn't direct it. That was left to a comic book artist and first time director, Troy Nixey.

Something ancient and evil is alive in the darkness beneath the Blackwood Mansion.

When young Sally Hurst (Bailee Madison) arrives in Rhode Island to visit her father Alex (Guy Pearce) and his new girlfriend Kim (Katie Holmes) at the Victorian mansion they are restoring, she already feels like an outsider and her ornate new home seems a cold and unwanted prison.

Finding comfort and escape in her solitary exploration of the property, and despite the warnings of the caretaker Mr. Harris (Jack Thompson), Sally embarks on an adventure that leads to the discovery of a hidden basement, undisturbed since the mysterious disappearance a century earlier of the mansion's builder, famed nature illustrator Emerson Blackwood. Once the private studio of Blackwood, the dark and dank underground chamber houses the secrets of the past of this unstable and unholy place, and perhaps something even more sinister.

ATTENBERG

From one of the producers of Dogtooth, we get this Greek film about love and solitude.

Marina, 23, is growing up with her architect father in a prototype factory town by the sea. Finding the human species strange and repellent, she keeps her distance. Instead she chooses to observe it through the songs of Suicide, the mammal documentaries of Sir David Attenborough, and the sexual-­education lessons she receives from her only friend, Bella. A stranger comes to town and challenges her to a foosball duel, on her own table. Her father meanwhile ritualistically prepares for his exit from the 20th century, which he considers to be “overrated.” Caught between the two men and her collaborator, Bella, Marina investigates the wondrous mystery of the human fauna.

Red State

With only a month to go before the release of Kevin Smith's tenth film, eOne has released a load of images from teh film. The film has had quite a rough ride to release with Kevin antagonising himself to both critics and fans alike over the film. However, it does look like he has got back on form from what we used to like. It seems to be much darker than the rest of his output. This maybe good, more for Kevin himself, but not for hardcore fans who expect a more lighthearted look at life.

FEAR GOD?

From cult writer/director KEVIN SMITH (Clerks; Dogma) comes his tenth film, the hotly anticipated RED STATE, a unique, intense thriller hell bent on leaving audiences feeling uncomfortable, tense and never knowing what’s going to happen next.

In Middle America, three horny teenagers travel to Cooper’s Dell after responding to an older woman’s online invitation for sex. However, their schoolboy fantasy turns sinister as Christian extremists led by the twisted preacher Abin Cooper (Michael Parks) holds them captive in his compound known as the Five Points Church. As the Pastor and his congregation embark on a reign of terror forcing the boys to witness executions before being prepared for their own death, they have to contend with the arrival of Federal Agent Joseph Keenan (John Goodman) and his team who are armed, dangerous and ready to bring these mother****ers down.

Stylish, compelling and visually exhilarating, RED STATE is unlike anything Kevin Smith has ever made before.

Featuring a remarkable stand-out performance from Tarantino favourite MICHAEL PARKS (Kill Bill Vol 1&2) as Pastor Abin Cooper, RED STATE also stars Academy Award winner MELISSA LEO (The Fighter), MICHAEL ANGARANO (The Forbidden Kingdom), KYLE GALLNER (Jennifer’s Body), NICHOLAS BRAUN (Chalet Girl) and movie veteran JOHN GOODMAN as Agent Keenan.

In UK cinemas September 30, 2011
