Martyrs (Trailer)

The new French wave of horror is blazing across screens as the official trailer for Martys is now online.If you've seen Inside or Frontiere(s) or even Haute Tension, you know the French may be squeamish when it comes to war but not in their horror movies. If the trailer and the 2 teaser trailers below are any indication of how sadistic and bloody this will be, I'm so fuckin thrilled.The buzz is this is the uber ultimate in torture porn. Kudos to...

Red Sonja (Comic Con 2008 Posters)

When I first read that Rose McGowan was going to play Red Sonja, I was like...."Isn't she like 5'1?"How do you strike fear into your enemies when your waving your sword at their knees?Well if there is one person that might pull this off it's Rober Rodriguez. Trouble is, he's not directing this. Some dude name Douglas Aarniokoski. Say who?Straigh out of Comic Con , check out the poster above and below for the first look at the hot Rose McGowan as...

Friday the 13th (Remake) (Trailer)

Yes fellow readers, the jaded viewer also covers *some* mainstream horror movies and news. And so low and behold the poster for the "reimagining" of Friday the 13th is above.I love the the 13th series (even some of the shitty sequels) . I think Jason Voorhees is the greatest slasher of all time. But I have my doubts about this remake. It looks....well a little Final Destination-ish with a mix of some Rob Zombie Halloween. To me, 21st century Jason...

Rewind: Paradise Villa (Trailer)

If you've seen Oldboy or any of Chan Wook Park's movies, you know the Korean film industry is on the cutting edge of some really jaded movies.A little gem that came out in 2001 is Paradise Villa.The plot is well...kinda kooky.An MMO geek finds out that somebody has stolen his inventory and seeks vengeance on the gamer who swiped it. The gamer lives in "Paradise Villa" and our anti-hero is goes insano killing on the residents of the apartment complex, who themselves are little quirky.Trust me, I first saw this flick on VCD (yes fuckin VCD) and it's...

Ong Bak 2 (Trailer)

I just watched the trailer for Ong Bak 2. And all I have to say is....WTF?Ong bak had simple premise. Super uber muay thai fighter Tony Jaa comes to Bangkok to get back mystical head, meet his funny cousin and kicks anybody's ass in the process if they get in his way.He also runs, flies, skips, dashes and avoids obstacles in a local market than savagely beats up henchman and the boss at the end.That's it. So can somebody tell me why is Ong Bak 2...

Return to Sleepaway Camp (Trailer)

I will admit right here on jadedviewer.com a most embarassing horror tidbit about myself.Here goes.............I own all 3 Sleepaway Camp movies. I actually bought the Survival Kit boxset. Yes I admit it. I'm a closet Sleepaway Camp fan.I'm not even sure why. I mean all Sleepaway Camp was were camp counselors getting killed, hacked, tortured, impaled and murdered. Same ole slasher shit.But oh that fuckin ending. What a hell of freakin ending.So with that, Return to Sleepaway Camp, the 4th installment of the series comes to DVD October 14th (via...

Does Takashi Miike ever take a break from making movies?Miike churned another police detective insan-o flick called Tantei monogatari last year.

From the moment he moves into the apartment next door, Takashima finds himself being tailed by the shady...

Crows Zero (Trailer)

The one thing you can count on from Takashi Miike, Japan's uber cult film director, is that from start to finish your going on a drugged up Kool aid magic carpet ride of super duper violence and scenarios that would make your mom cry.Miike goes back to high school with Crow Zero aka Kurôzu zero. Yakuza, bullying and power hungry rivals. What else do you need?Based on a manga (doesn't it seem all Japanese movies are from mangas?), it's big budget blockbusters for the masses.Do they even go to class in Japan?Check out the trailer below.Tags:crows...

Laura Panic (Short)

On my last post, I talked about the films of Adam Wingard. Seems like the Wingard's team, with writer E.L. Katz unveiled a short at the 2008 Fantasia Film Festival (thanks Fangoria)Luckily for us, we don't have to go to Montreal to see it as it's now on YouTube. Very twisted 3 minute short that tell us us the story of Laura (Hannah Hughes) who is in love with a man who hasn’t quite noticed her yet. Dude is kinda oblivious as our femme fatale stalker...

Home Sick and Pop Skull (Trailer)

We here at the jaded viewer do a lot of horror archeology. We dig and dig for the most obscure and not relatively known horror movies in the vast indie universe.So with the help of the mainstream horror icon Fangoria, it's good to see we've finally found the fucked up movies of Adam Wingard.I haven't seen any of these yet, but I am fully intrigued by the trailers.Home Sick looks like a throwback to the grizzly 70s slashers (almost Abel Ferrera-ish) with its demented sicko carnage. It stars Bill Moseley, Tom Towles and horror scream queen Tiffany...

Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (Trailer)

Leave it up to the Canadians to reinvigorate the 80s horror-omedy.Jon Knautz's Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer from the looks of it looks like a dash of Evil Dead, some Brain Dead, a pinch of The Gate and a heaping spoonful of Robert England.I've been digging the horror-omedy of late with Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon topping my top 10 Horror movies of 2007.Do we have a new Ash in the making?Judge for yourself.The official site is live.Tags:Jack...

Max Payne (Trailer)

I've beaten Rockstar Games Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne.It's a film noir game with fuckin bullet time. And it kicked ass. Game plot was kinda this:Sorta corrupt NYPD cop gets framed for murder. Vows revenge. Gets fucked up with the drug Valkyr. Kills baddies using bullet time. Reload weapon. Repeat.So Holly-tard has brought us the big screen version starring Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne and the hot Mila Kunis as Mona Sax.IMDB says...
