Mr Kramer Was Right … There is a Pigman
Looks like a Black Sheep type story with a subtle (or not so subtle) warning on the risks of genetic engineering. Movie is "Squeal" and it certainly looks interesting. Website here

I know I shouldn’t judge a boo
k by it’s cover or a movie by the trailer, however, that hasn’t stopped me in the past, and will not stop me this time.
I hate to use the overused cliché of “this movie looks like that movie”, but this movie does have elements that remind me of Hostel and Shaun Of The Dead. I love both of those movies, so I know that I am really saying, “I hope to hell that this movie is like Hostel and SotD”. I doubt it will actually be like these movies, but I can keep my fingers crossed and share this zombie-esque trailer with you.
Anyways, like strippers and zombies (which are two great things that are meant to go together), this movie combines all sorts of women and zombie-like beasties, so already it receives a big thumbs up for the effort. Hopefully they pull it off.
I am a freak for zombie movies … absolutely love’ em. I came across the trailer for “Dance Of The Dead” on IGN. It’s being put out by Lionsgate films direct to DVD … which is rarely a great sign, but I don’t care as long as it’s a zombie movie. This movie apparently went over quite well at SXSW and was shown at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival. Plus, based on this trailer alone, I think I’ll be happy with this bad boy. Take a look.
I saw the trailer for this bad boy just today (website here). This is a comedy/horror movie that wants to
compare itself to Shaun of the Dead (but don’t they all). The “comedy/horror” classification is a bit played out as well … when I see that classification now, I read it to mean that the movie tries to be funny and scary, but most likely it is more like the 80′s Schlocky Horror genre (which I do like).
It’s opening in theaters today (July 25th) … however, it will open on a (VERY) limited basis which apparently means that if you live in one of 4 Canadian cities, you can (maybe) go see it today. That’s rarely a good sign. Why even have a “theatrical release” if there are 4 cities (all in Canada)?? I thought these were the movies that went straight to DVD. I guess now only kids movies now go straight to DVD. Regardless, they got chumps like me out there talking about it, so their promotional efforts work.
Anyway, if it upholds the traditions set in films such as Return of the Living Dead, or more recently, Slither
(or even Shaun of the Dead (and good luck with that)), I will enthusiastically endorse it. By the way, it does appear to have a fat, tentacled-type creature in it … a la Slither
??
Anyway, I like to see Robert Englund in a horror movie trailer … such as below:
