Let’s make this clear: WRONG COPS is a party. Oh, and don’t worry, it’s appropriately blood-infused. While writer/director Quentin Dupieux (STEAK, RUBBER, WRONG) may deny the “experimental” classification, he is certainly known for his authentic filmmaking choices, so expect WRONG COPS to exceed all levels of dissidence.

It doesn’t have a title as of now, but a new horror feature from the man behind SAW and INSIDIOUS has cast its two lead actors.

As a reviewer, there is a level of professional integrity one must consider when reviewing a film whose quality beckons for a complete analytical annihilation. However, my responsibility is to you, the reader and potential customer, who may be drawn in by the DVD or Blu-ray cover that egregiously misuses such phrases as “all star cast,” “unrated director’s cut” and “edge-of-your-seat,” and shows off bound hands and bloody knives.

The heir to the hysterical, frenzied, toweringly at wit’s end, woman-on-the-edge throne is apparent. In MAGIC MAGIC, Juno Temple has lost her mind. We are all the more uncomfortable for it.

British actress Gemma Arterton’s career has seen her literally running the gamut, from big-ticket actioners like the 007 film QUANTUM OF SOLACE, CLASH OF THE TITANS and PRINCE OF PERSIA to the intense, confined thrills of THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ALICE CREED. Now she’s kicking butt again as one-half of the heavily armed sibling team in HANSEL & GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS (opening Friday from Paramount). Arterton spoke to Fango about her most adventurous role yet, as well as her upcoming vampire drama BYZANTIUM and a reunion with her DISAPPEARANCE director.

Popular opinion on genre remakes tends to be that they’re soulless product, meant to capitalize on a mildly recognizable title and often hampered by studio notes. Audiences, rightfully so, often ask that if they remain a constant, filmmakers could at least be granted the space to be creative and make it their own. In an age that sees more rehashes than ever, Jim Mickle’s American interpretation of Jorge Michel Grau’s Mexican horror film, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE could be a standard going forward.

British fright fans have the unique chance to see the legendary 1982 sci-fi horror exploitation classic XTRO on the big screen as part of an evening of creepy culture supporting the release of actress/author Barbie Wilde’s psychosexual new novel THE VENUS COMPLEX.

Yes, there’s yet another film joining the gingerbread-houseful of features adapting/updating the Brothers Grimm favorite—and in this one, the story goes to pot. Read on to check out the first trailer.

Midst celebrating the warm, warm reception of S-VHS’ Sundance world premiere (Fango's review), and especially their segment in particular, Eduardo Sanchez and longtime producer/now co-director Gregg Hale (THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT) are still actively finishing up their next foray into found footage, EXISTS. “We are mixing the sound right now. Then, we’ll be doing color correction. Basically, by the end of January, first week of February, we’ll be done and then we have a whole sales strategy,” Sanchez tells Fango.

What would you do if you woke up and found yourself in the middle of a classic horror-film scenario? The answer has a more explicit tease now that a red-band trailer for MIMESIS is on-line.

The team behind last year’s horror hit are readying the sequel for release this summer, and offering the chance for one lucky fan to win a walk-on role.

Noteworthy genre films from around the world, past and present, will be showcased at New York City’s Lincoln Center over the next month.
