'West of Memphis' trailer and poster

Unless you've been hidden away from the world over the passed 18 years, you will probably have heard of the case of the West Memphis Three. The case where three teens were tried and wrongfully convicted of the murder of three boys in 1994. The story made front pages the world over and the Paradise Lost documentaries were made, chronicling the ongoing story. Well, now there is a new documentary, entitled West of Memphis, which is directed by Amy Berg and produced by Peter Jackson, which takes a new look at the case of Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley. You can check out the trailer below. West of Memphis opens at select theaters on December 25th from Sony Pictures Classics.

Filthy Review - 'In Their Skin'

In Their Skin (2012)

Review by Jude Felton

The reason home invasion movies work so effectively, is that that play right into our very deepest fears; the fear of being attacked in the one place you should feel safe. Of course, this only works in films that use this fear and tension correctly. I mean, Home Alone was for all intents and purposes a home invasion flick, but it is not exactly scary is it?

The zombies will definitely not be running in 'Morbid'

The film is now in post-production and is set for a 2013 release.

Filthy Review - 'Miami Connection'

Miami Connection (1987)

Review by Jude Felton

Miami Connection is the latest film to hit from Drafthouse Films, and it is without a doubt the most thought-provoking, deep and understated movie that I have had the pleasure to watch in recent years. Yeah, right! It is from Drafthouse Films, and it is a pleasure to watch, but the rest was an absolute crock; Miami Connection is batshit mental, chicken Oriental and an absolute blast! I’ve seen some crazy flicks this year, but this one has just leapt to the top of the basket-weaving brigade.

V/H/S to hit US Blu-ray and DVD

Magnolia Home Entertainment, through their Magnet imprint, will be releasing the horror anthology V/H/S on Blu-ray and DVD on December 4th. So, you can hope to find this pup in your Christmas stockings! Directed by Adam Wingard, David Bruckner, Ti West, Glenn McQuaid, Joe Swanberg and Radio Silence, the anthology has definitely created quite the buzz since it debuted on VOD earlier this year. I am still looking forward to catching it, myself!

Filthy Review - 'Coma'

Coma (2012)

Review by Jude Felton

Coma is a mini-series that originally aired on A&E over the Labor Day weekend in the States. It’s based on the 1977 novel by Robin Cook and the movie adaptation from Michael Crichton in 1978, which starred Michael Douglas, and it has now been released on DVD. This, of course, means that you can now sit through the 2 hour and 40 minute running time without the distraction of endless commercials.

'Outpost: Black Sun' coming to Blu-ray and DVD

November 6th will see Outpost: Black Sun hit Blu-ray and DVD from XLrator Media. Personally I thought the first Outpost film was decent fun, although it didn't really live up to its complete potential. I am hoping that Black Sun will rectify this, and from what I have seen it looks good so far. Included on the release will be a 'making of' feature.

This is a project that I have been following since I first saw the teaser trailer, and I am happy that is it now going ahead. Full details below.

Filthy Review - 'King of Devil's Island'

King of Devil’s Island (2010)

Review by Jude Felton

King of Devil’s Island is a Norwegian film that I will admit to not having been aware of until quite recently. I don’t believe it has a US release, as of writing this, but it is now set to hit Blu-ray and DVD in the UK, courtesy of the ever reliable Arrow Films. Credit is due to Arrow for picking this film up, as it is a quite terrific movie, for giving us a chance to see a film that might have unfairly slipped out of the public consciousness, had it not been for this release.

Filthy Review - 'Sinister'

Sinister (2012)

Review by Jude Felton

Regardless of how good or bad this film ended up being, I can’t help but question the name of the film. It’s right up there with Insidious, which is incidentally from the same producer, in having one of those incredibly dodgy names. What does work in its favor is the fact that it reveals nothing about the plot, as was the case with Insidious.

Filthy Review - 'Some Guy Who Kills People' UK Blu-ray

Some Guy Who Kills People (2011)

Review by Jude Felton

This review will be slightly shorter than usual, not because it doesn’t warrant a longer one; it’s because I previously reviewed the US DVD release and if you have read that you will know that I think this is a truly terrific movie. This review is for the UK Blu-ray release, and yes they got it on Blu back across the pond!

Filthy Review - 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012)

Review by Jude Felton

The popular trend of mashing up historical figures, or literary ones, has never really appealed to me. It just never floated my boat, but that’s maybe because I read a very poor novel that mixed zombies into a great story and spoiled it. Actually, I had no time for them even before that. So, when Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter came along, I was torn. I never read the novel, which Seth Grahame-Smith adapted the screenplay from his book, but at the back of my mind I was thinking “here we go again”. On the flipside, the film is produced by Tim Burton and directed by Timur Bekmambetov; both of whom I have a lot of time for. Which side would win out?
