13 HRS
Quiet Earth pointed out this interesting little film called 13 HRS, which is not your average slasher flick. Instead it's a naked werewolf people slasher flick, which I think we can all agree is an upgrade.

Synopsis:

A full moon hangs in the night sky and lightning streaks across dark storm clouds. Sarah Tyler returns to her troubled family home in the isolated countryside, for a much put-off visit. As the storm rages on, Sarah, her family and friends shore up for the night, cut off from the outside world. But something comes out of the driving rain and darkness. Something that holds a dark secret so devastating that, in one night, it could wipe out the entire family.

Trapped, Sarah and her brothers and friends must use their heads as well as their physical strength to survive not only the thing that is hunting them down one by one - but their own entrapment as the besieged group turns in on itself. Can they survive the horror stalking them? Or is their enemy already amongst them and has it always been? Can they survive for 13 hours?

The Crazies
So here's the latest trailer for the George Romero remake of The Crazies... I'm not so sure how I feel about it now. The last trailer held much more promise. Thoughts opinions? Is this another film we should throw on the fiery pile of YARM?

Zebraman 2
Last, but certainly not least, Twitch has a few stills from Takashi Miike and Sho Aikawa on the set of Zebraman 2, and they are not screwing around. What, you've never heard of Zebraman? Well, here's the trailer for the first film...

And here are the new set pics,

The first film is about a man, Shinichi, who finds solace from his miserable life in the costume of Zebraman, and eventually he has to actually become the superhero and save the world. As you can see the costume has been upgraded. I'm excited to see where this is going. For more pics, check out Twitch.

2033:
In director Francisco Laresgoiti's future world where most of the population is under the thumb of a big business and work like robots, Mexico City has been renamed to Villaparaiso (Paradise City), and employs a heavy workload for the poor, while the upper class cruise around in helicopters. But when dashing society man Pablo falls for a sexy lower-class gal, he leaves his life of luxury to help aid in the revolution and uncovers the secrets behind, “Pactia,” a drink everyone is addicted to. This movie looks fantastic, and I'm even more excited to see big scifi works coming out of Mexico.

Fantastic Fest starts September 14 through the 20 in Austin, Texas. But even if you can't make to the amazing festival stuffed to gills with out of this world movies, you can watch many of the flicks on their site. All you have to do is quickly register with the fest, and you're in. Below are a list of some of my favorite new shorts and movies from the fest that you can watch right now.

Dr. Infierno:
This little Spanish film (pictured above) follows a gynecologist as he discovers a cure for all illness in the world, and then uses his knowledge to become and all powerful dictator. I'm not 100% what's going on but the freaky movie has crazy monsters, dueling robots and a few pretty excellent fight scenes.

La Creme:
A no-name know-nothing Frenchman is bestowed with a vial of face cream that transforms his mug into the most famous face in all of France. Of course the changes are only temporary to his face, but they permanently transform his personality for the worst.

Treevenge:
Canadian film maker Jason Eisener and Rob Cotterill give Christmas Trees their revenge this year from holiday slaughter. As the pine trees enact their bloody retribution on the human population for years of murder, you get to see a lot of pine needles and blood in this short... and hear the sounds that trees would make if they could scream, which is pretty crazy. You can watch the video on the Fantastic Fest site, and check out some very graphic trees murdering people stills here.
