Documentary on the making of 'The Exorcist'

This documentary was recommended to me by someone on facebook, and I am very glad he did. What follows is the Documentary “Fear of God - The Making of The Exorcist”.

This documentary is equal parts interesting and informative. There is great bit of knowledge to be learned in these, from special effects to acting and directing. So take a look and let me know what you think?




Check out this interesting analysis of a scene from ‘PULP FICTION’.

I dig hearing opinions like this, but… As a filmmaker people will often times look way deeper into something than I intended and occasional even get the message wrong because of it. But again, I very much enjoyed this one.

What do you guys think?

Neck stabbing, hand chopping, and a bit of voodoo = Episode 22 of Film Riot and a bad day for Josh.

Thoughts?

Mel Gibson’s return to film looks great!

Directed by Martin Campbell, ‘Edge of Darkness’ is about a veteran homicide detective who’s only child is murdered on the steps of his home, everyone assumes that he was the target. But he soon suspects otherwise, and embarks on a mission to find out about his daughter’s secret life and her killing.

Check out the trailer and let me know what you think?

My six hour flight to San Francisco from South Florida was 100% worth it! I was able to finally see ‘Paranormal Activity’, which only a few have had the chance to do. I can honestly say that this was one of the most terrifying horror films I have ever seen!
The story is shown though the Blair Witch/ Cloverfield “documentary” style, But unlike the prior, this one was perfectly executed. I don’t want to give away to much about the film since it’s effectiveness relies heavily on the unknown, but I will say that if you are a horror fan (and I’m NOT talking about torture porn) this is a movie you MUST see… Just make sure you aren’t sleeping alone the night you do.
I actually haven’t stopped thinking about the film since I saw it last Thursday, it left the audience with an interesting question. Do you believe in the paranormal? And if so, what do you think it is?
