Run for the "Hills" Game! Creeepy....
Normally an online game/promotional piece wouldn't be all that newsworthy, even if it is one hosted by IGN Filmforce. But since I keep hearing how good "The Hills Have Eyes" remake is, and because I've been playing it for about a half hour, I thought it'd be cool to share with you the Run for the Hills game over at IGN. It's basically "Doom" with mutants and a shotgun, but it's also pretty fun and actually kinda spooooky. More...

Trailer Bulletin: The Hills Have Eyes & When a Stranger Calls
There's been a bona-fide explosion of new movie trailers over the past week or two ... but this is the only one I've watched more than once, because I'm a desperately sick horror junkie. Hardcore gorehounds are obviously familiar with Wes Craven's classic "The Hills Have Eyes," and now comes the very first trailer for the remake by "High Tension" director Alexandre Aja. And it's pretty darn cool. More...

"Hills" Remake Too Intense for an R Rating!
Those who bemoan the current state of PG-13-ish horror (like me) should find this report from Empire Online to be an equal dose of good news and bad. The upcoming remake of "The Hills Have Eyes" has recently received an NC-17 from the MPAA, and producer Wes Craven is required to deliver an R. So it's back to the editing booth for director Alex Aja ... at least until the DVD comes out. More...
