Some images landed today from the new "Silent Hill" sequel, subtitled "Revelation", and I have to say I'm pretty on board for this. Rhada Mitchell returns, and I'm even more excited because I just found out Malcom MacDowell is in it as well. If he doesn't have a scene where he slowly turns around in a chair to reveal himself then they're doing it wrong.

I'm in for everything these days. Another "Resident Evil" film? Sure, why not. Some crappy movie on Netflix with two stars? What the hell, I have an hour and a half to kill. It's Halloween season and I say the more the merrier.

Hard to argue against a poster design like that (click to enhance). "Hypothermia" comes out on DVD October 2nd.

I shudder at the thought of having to watch another possession / demon / ghost movie this year, but then a film like "Sinister" comes along with its spooky trailers and makes me doubt myself. This is a new "Red Band" trailer for the film, which this gem of a Youtube commenter describes nicely...

"i like when that red screen pop up at the beginning of a movie. It means the business is gonna be serious"

Couldn't have said it better myself. "Sinister" hits theaters October 12th.

Years ago I saw John Carpenter's "Halloween" on the big screen, sort of... I showed up to the screening incredibly excited, but was quickly disillusioned when I realized what I was watching was a DVD of the film projected on the big screen. The end product of this was a muddy, dark picture with terrible sound. Needless to say, I'm eager to wipe that experience from my memory.

THE LONG VERSION:

You may have noticed some funky things going on with our podcast feed recently. Long story short, we've had a large influx of new listeners over the last year, and the resulting crunch on our bandwidth has hit us pretty hard. It's why, for a while, you could only find one lonely new episode in the feed at a time.

Want the ultimate Halloween costume? The fine people over at HalloweenCostumes.com are offering up one of these babies to a lucky Bloody Good Horror reader. What you see here is a hand-made, screen accurate replica of the mask worn by Dick Warlock in 1981's "Halloween 2".

"Branded" is a classic case of the marketing department refusing to get out of the way of its material. Here you have what looks like an intensely weird film skewering consumer culture and the mind-control game of advertising. Think "Wall-E" meets "They Live" (no, seriously). Instead of letting the trailer speak for itself, they've decided to make a marketing campaign featuring over 100 QR codes that will lead you, presumably?... to clips and screenshots. It's 2010's greatest idea.

"Metro: Last Light" is a first person shooter, and sequel to "Metro 2033", that will see release for PC, XBOX and PS3 early next year. The plot for the dark actioner goes like this:

So they took "Epic Beard Man" (google it, trust me) and turned it into a movie with Danny Trejo. Except now he's more of an all around do-gooder as opposed to an unhinged, possibly racist Santa impersonator that can throw a haymaker like nobody's business. Just like Hollywood, always dumbing it down for the masses...
