Plot: The classic sitcom The Munsters is revived with a feature film origin story written and directed by Rob Zombie. We find out how Herman and Lily met and fell in love, and why the Munsters moved from Transylvania to Mockingbird Lane.
Review: After getting his career off to a successful start with House of 1000 Corpses and its sequel The Devil’s Rejects, writer/director Rob Zombie had the chance to show he could do something different with the remake of Halloween… but he proceeded to pigeonhole himself by making Halloween just as trashy and vulgar as his first two movies. Since then, he has struggled to get other types of movies into production – he wanted to make a hockey movie, he wanted to make a Groucho Marx biopic – and had to resort to making more of the same with the likes of 31 and 3 from Hell. Now, Universal has given...

Back in the 1960s, if you wanted to watch a weekly sitcom about monsters living in suburbia, there were only two games in town: “The Addams Family,” about a group of kooks whose wealth and largely normal looks gave them the freedom to pursue their freaky interests, and “The Munsters,” about a working-class group of unmistakable monsters whose outward appearance provided a humorous contrast to their utter normalcy.
The Addams Family have gone on to great cinematic success in the decades following their sitcom (and the New Yorker cartoons on which it was based), with successful live-action and animated movies to their name. But Hollywood hasn’t been quite so kind to The Munsters. Their show was originally a bigger hit than “The Addams Family,” but they’ve never been cinematically rebooted for the big screen. (Not counting the series spinoff “Munster Go Home!” in 1966.)

Hard-edged, old-fashioned, and anchored by a sturdy movie star performance from Adrien Brody, Clean plays well as a socially-tinged vigilante thriller. Directed by Paul Solet (from a script he co-wrote with Brody), the film moves fast and rises above certain genre tropes. Brody plays Clean, a garbage man seeped in the sins of his past. In the opening minutes, he goes about his day: driving his early morning route before retiring to his industrial dwelling wherein he retrieves abandoned machines from a junkyard and brings them back to life. The resurrected results he sells to local pawnbroker Kurtis.
Frequent, brief flashbacks hint at the violence that Clean is attempting to escape. Young actress Chandler Ari DuPont plays Dianda, a neighborhood girl whom Clean feels compelled to protect. In her is he reminded of his late daughter. When the wayward son (Richie Merritt) of a violent local gangster (Glenn Fleshler) is...

One of those comedies so incessantly and aggressively unfunny that you begin to wonder whether that’s the joke, documentary director Zak Knutson’s first narrative feature “Supercon” is a poor stab at Christopher Guest-style ensemble antics combined with a rote heist plot. The Comic Con-esque setting ought to be a rich target for satire, but life is full of missed opportunities, and this turns out to be one of them. Not to be confused with the concurrent “Supertroopers 2” — though one suspects theater owners would love it if you did — this film will no doubt pass quickly through hardtops, doing somewhat better in a home-formats launch that also commences April 27.

Exclusive: Mfi clocks new sales on Greece-set thriller.
Gaga Corporation has taken Japanese rights to UK director Jonathan English’s Athens-set action-thriller Dias, following its launch at the market.
The film, which is due to shoot in Athens this September, revolves around Athen’s elite police motorbike force, the Dias.
As previously announced, Paris-based Memento Film International (Mfi) also sold the production to Koch at the beginning of the market.
The film revolves around the city’s elite police motorbike force, the Dias, consisting of four-person squads travelling two-by-two on high-powered vehicles. The force was created in 2010 in response to a rise in petty and organised crime after the debt crisis threw the country into chaos.

Votiv Films and Taggart Productions have released the first official images from their upcoming psychological thriller Circle. The film – written and directed by Aaron Hann and Mario Miscione – is an intense real-time thriller, which uniquely examines humanity under the worst possible circumstances that stars Carter Jenkins, Julie Benz, Mercy Malick, Allegra Masters, Michael Nardelli, Autumn Federici, Lawrence Kao, Kevin Sheridan and Cesar Garcia.
In a massive, mysterious chamber, fifty strangers awaken to find themselves trapped with no memory of how they got there. Organized in an inward-facing circle and unable to move, they quickly learn that every two minutes one of them must die… executed by a strange device in the center of the room. At first the attacks seem random, but soon the strangers realize that they, as a group, have the power to decide who will be the next to be killed. A vote. A chance to control the machine.

★★☆☆☆ The inertia of millennial existential malaise has been de rigueur in the horror genre of late. David Robert Mitchell terrified with a wonderful twist on teenage anxieties in his It Follows (2014), exploring the dualities of sex and the slow dread of infernal lazy afternoons. Elsewhere Starry Eyes (2014), written and directed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer, sought to plumb similar depths from the ennui of La creatives. Dark Summer (2015) threatens to follow suit but Mike Le's script - directed by Paul Solet - begins as though it intends to stalk the disquieting hallways of 21st century technological preoccupation before careering into rote haunted house banality.
The presence of It Follows actor Keir Gilchrist (pictured right) does little to help avoid such unfavourable comparisons. In that film he played a lovesick teen willing to sacrifice himself for Maika Monroe. On this occasion his unrequited feelings have led to some cyber-stalking and landed his character,...

Featuring: Nathan Grubbs, Marc Senter, Pell James, Michael Bowen, Bryan Batt
Brothers Charlie (Nathan Grubbs) and Bobby (Marc Senter) Fontaine are part of an underground, mob-run fighting competition held on New Orleans riverboats. Charlie, the older, more stable of the two, has a steady job in construction and a serious girlfriend (Pell James). Bobby is a directionless playboy who is involved in several shady odd jobs, many of them mob-related. The siblings are the progeny of a local fighting legend and are respected by their late father’s peers and the old school mobster hierarchy. Though both brothers enjoy a surface celebrity, neither has been able to achieve much beyond a working class existence.
When debtors go after Bobby, his protective brother ends up with a broken leg while defending him. Recovering from his injury, Charlie marries his girlfriend Kat – a timid, unmotivated woman...

When the title for “Redland” appears on the screen with the stark power of a Rothko, you know you’re in for something primal.
The story, set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, involves an isolated family living among the redwoods of Oregon. Our first point of contact is Mary-Ann, the only daughter of three siblings. Cyndi Lauper sang that “Girls Just Want to Have Fun,” and if this was true in the frivolous ’80s, it’s a matter of life and death for Mary-Ann (Lucy Adden) as she struggles with the absolutism of her family’s suffocating patriarchy.

If I may get a little incestuous for a moment… It’s always nice to see filmmakers whom Fango gave an early boost making good, and the recently released Blu-ray and DVD of Grace showcase three directors who were part of our Blood Drive short-film compilation discs. Not only are there Means To An End creators Paul Solet, who wrote and helmed Grace, and Jake Hamilton, who chronicled its trip to the Sundance Film Festival, but also Mainstream’s Adam Barnick, who put together its exemplary behind-the-scenes package.
The multiple featurettes demonstrate that this story of a very unusual birth and the unsettling events that follow was a (no pun intended) labor of love, and it’s also clear from the conviction with which Solet spins his weird tale that it was a passion project for him. First excerpted by Solet as a six-minute short of the same title, the...

In a genre flooded by outlandish, disconnected and often comedic pictures, Grace acts as a definitive reminder that good old fashion storytelling can still be frightening and unbelievably unsettling. Like other films of similar nature (such as the highly acclaimed 2007 Dimension Extreme gem Inside), Grace is a disheartening venture into the life of a mother torn apart both physically and mentally by an unbridled need to protect her child. It’s the specifics of the harrowing tale that separate the film from any I’ve ever seen however.

On Friday, June 12th, USC’s School of Cinematic Arts hosted Paul Solet’s startling debut feature film Grace (review here) for a packed house. In fact, there was not an empty seat in Norris Hall, and there were even people camped out on the floor throughout the screening.
The USC event was The Horror Chick’s third time screening Grace, and honestly, Solet's film stands up to multiple viewings. There’s something about the subject matter of what lengths people will go to for someone they love intertwined with a script that digs under your skin relentlessly and does not let go until the credits roll that has kept me riveted every single time.
What I enjoyed was seeing Grace amongst several hundred people who hadn’t seen the film yet and had no idea of the disturbing journey they were going to be taken on by Solet and...

Review by Jim Hemphill
"Subtlety" and "nuance" are not words that immediately come to mind while viewing most contemporary horror movies, but Paul Solet's debut feature Grace is as far from an ordinary horror film as you can get. An eerie meditation on childbirth and matriarchy, it's a movie that's as intelligent as it is scary, and its hypnotic blend of surrealistic imagery and universal fears (most of them having to do with the anxieties of parenthood and love, romantic and otherwise) really gets under your skin in a way that even the best slasher flicks can't touch.
Like Kubrick's The Shining or Georges Franju's Eyes Without a Face, it's a movie that relies less on shocks and gimmicks than on a steadily increasing sense of unease-and yet, when the tensions that have been building throughout the film are released in the bloody final act, Grace takes the...
