Watch Ethan Hawke Watch Movies in “Sinister” Trailer

Following an overabundance of found-footage horror films flooding theaters over the past few years, recent scary movies have attempted to find clever variations on the sub-genre. Those approaches include: merely aping the look of a faux documentary (Chernobyl Diaries), incorporating more straight sci-fi elements into the mix (Area 407) – and using recovered footage of horrible events as a pivotal plot point, as is the case with the upcoming horror-thriller, Sinister.
Today, we have an official trailer from Sinister to show. The film marks the latest venture into the supernatural horror realm by writer/director Scott Derrickson, who started his career off by working on sub-par sequels like Urban Legends: Final Cut and the direct-to-video Hellraiser: Inferno. Since then, Derrickson has gone on to achieve more financial success (if limited critical success) with movies such as The Exorcism of Emily Rose and the Day the Earth Stood Still remake.
In addition to handling helmer duties, Derrickson co-wrote Sinister with first-timer C. Robert Cargill. The film revolves around Ellison (Ethan Hawke), a true-crime novelist who moves his wife and daughter into a home where the previous owners mysteriously died some nine months earlier (Original idea, right?). Once there, Ellison uncovers a collection of old-fashioned, home video reels which reveal the gruesome history behind how said previous tenants ended up dead. However, in doing so, Hawke’s character also inadvertently unleashes a malicious supernatural entity upon his family.
Judging by the trailer, Sinister relies on several tried-and-true tropes of the horror genre (including, the young daughter who forms a “friendship” with one of the ghosts), but could serve up some effective jump scares and disturbing moments. Derrickson also appears poised to do a good job building suspense and heightening the fear factor, as Hawke’s writer slowly uncovers increasingly-terrifying details about just what exactly is this monster he’s unleashed upon his loved ones. It surely helps having someone like Vincent D’Onofrio (Men in Black, The Cell) as the one to deliver exposition about said ghoul.
There have been variations on the idea of a boogeyman who can enter our world through modern technology since The Ring, but for the large part such horror flicks have delivered on the promise of that concept (One Missed Call, looking at you). Sinister probably won’t renovate that premise either, but it has potential to be an overall fun and scary viewing experience, for the upcoming Halloween season.
Sinister arrives in theaters around the U.S. on October 5th, 2012.

First “Excision” Trailer Looks Promising
Labeled as the most disturbing film at Sundance 2012, the first trailer for Richard Bates Jr’s “Excision” shows that may not have been an exaggeration!
Synopsis:
Pauline isn’t your typical teen. She picks scabs, dissects road kill, and fantasizes about performing surgery on strangers. Her fascinations disturb her parents and her classmates. Pauline reserves special disdain for “the church” and her “therapist,” Reverend William, who, in Pauline’s mind, is in no position to judge, or indulge in, her psychosexual fantasies. No one understands Pauline except for Grace, her younger sister, who suffers from cystic fibrosis. An outcast at school and at home, Pauline decides she is ready to lose her virginity. . . and this is when the weirdness really begins.
Originally filmed as a short in 2008, Excision stars AnnaLynne McCord (Day Of The Dead 2012), former adult film star Traci Lords (Blade, The Tommyknockers), Roger Bart (Hostel II), Malcolm MacDowell (Rob Zombie’s Halloween, Doomsday), Ray Wise (Twin Peaks, Jeepers Creepers 2) and the simply incomparable John Waters (Blood Feast 2, Seed of Chucky).

“The Eugenist” brings horror to controversial subject
King Flex Films just wrapped up filming an independent horror film entitled The Eugenist.
The film touches on the century-old subject of eugenics, that was founded in the late 1800’s. Eugenics is a controversial pseudoscience that promotes selective breeding in humans in order to improve or recede a certain part of the population. The eugenics movement gained most of its popularity in the early part of the 20th century.
Some historians have theorized that many of the classic horror movies from the 1930’s were reflective of the ideologies and fears of the eugenics movement. Many movies from this era were based on the concept of the “mad scientist” – a person going to diabolical depths in order to improve or modify human beings.
Frankenstein, Island of Lost Souls, and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, are a few examples of horror films that played on this theme. Even the creation of comic book heroes, such as Superman, are based on the eugenics concept of a genetically superior human specimen.
References about eugenics still pop up periodically in modern times. This past February, presidential candidate Rick Santorum accused President Obama of promoting eugenics with the Obamacare program. There was also a recent case of a number of families in North Carolina getting a financial settlement for being victimized by a forced sterilization eugenics program.
In the film The Eugenist, the plot revolves around a group of college students who stumble upon an abandoned school. Unbeknownst to them, the school was targeted for a eugenics population control experiment. The students decide to explore the school just for kicks, but once inside, they find out that the school is not so abandoned.
The Eugenist is directed by New York Times best selling author Tariq Nasheed.
