Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror TV
A special treat for all you fangbangers out there! HBO debuted a trailer at Comic Con today which gives us a taste of the action to come in the remainder of True Blood season two. I must warn all you sanguinists out there, watching this may cause the occurrence or relapse of Vampire Moistness Disorder or VMD. I am currently fanning myself and having a stiff drink to try and chase away the this hot flush I seem to have since viewing. Consider yourselves forewarned… Enjoy!

SDCC: Debuts ‘The Hills Run Red’ trailer.
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Horror Films
The stories from the San Diego Comic Con continue to roll through the the web and my in box. The latest to catch my eye, via Shock Til You Drop is the trailer for the upcoming release of the film ‘The Hills Run Red‘ on DVD. The teaser trailer debuted to all the lucky devils at the Trick ‘r’ Treat viewing, I am green with envy! Why is this of interest you ask? Well for one, it stars a local malnourished starlet Sophie Monk ( who found fame via an Idol type reality TV show in Australia). Two, the doll masked killer intrigues me.
The story places a group of film makers in the forest; do I smell a little Blair Witch fromage, I mean homage? Our group of intrepid adventurers are searching for a long lost original print of a classic horror film, rumored to be soooo scary, people couldn’t watch it. However as they film their journey things take a turn for the worse and the lines between the film and reality become perilously blurred… with blood! As the ‘Baby Faced’ killer (cue creepy doll mask!) and his family continue to film the classic horror film and our adventurers are now the stars!
This film has potential, despite some of the similarities to The Blair Witch project in regards to the documentary type footage, which really have been done to death. However the premise is interesting and I really dig that mask!

Thirst is coming to Melbourne!!!!
Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Asian Horror, Horror Films
I can’t believe it! I am freaking out, I can’t believe this slid under my usual keen vampiric like senses… Thirst is showing at the Melbourne International Film Festival! Apologies to those readers from far and abroad, I will explain. The festival runs at this time every year and has a ‘Night Shift’ program which has a small selection of horror films. Now i read the preview program a little while ago and there was no Thirst to be seen. However whilst browsing our local broadsheet online I discovered an article discussing the attraction of horror films, the usual bollocks, why do people like to be scared blah blah. Low and behold the festival’s organiser is talking about a blood sucking priest! So I scrambled to the MIFF site, snatched myself up tickets for a night showing of Thirst and found to my delight Moon was also showing, so threw in tickets for that for good measure!
For those who have been spending too much time in their coffin, Thirst is directed by Chan-wook Park the synopsis is as follows:
“A beloved and devoted priest from a small town volunteers for a medical experiment which fails and turns him into a vampire. Physical and psychological changes lead to his affair with a wife of his childhood friend who is repressed and tired of her mundane life. The one-time priest falls deeper in despair and depravity. As things turns for worse, he struggles to maintain whats left of his humanity.”
I dodged a silver bullet here folks, so what lessons have we learnt today?
1. Be ever vigilant when your local film festival is creeping up behind you.
2. Good things come to those who wait; even in Australia.
3. Focus (distribution company of Thirst) sends out cool promotional stuff for Comic Con (thanks to the First Showing Crew for sharing, and inflaming my Comic Con envy).
Have a look at the trailer below (thanks to Eco Samurai for the footage) and join me in a little dance of glee around whatever deity takes your fancy!
