Dark Lot to Deliver Three New Horror Flicks
Variety reports that Odd Lot Entertainment will launch a genre division known as Dark Lot, and their first plan is to deliver a three-movie series currently known as "The Horror Chronicles."
The "new company will make horror, thriller and suspense pics with budgets from $3 million to $15 million.
"The Horror Chronicles" will mark the feature helming debuts of three genre scribes: Neal Marshall Stevens ("13 Ghosts"), Richard Jefferies ("Cold Creek Manor") and Art Monterastelli ("The Hunted"). Each will write and direct a feature. Shooting on the first of the three pics is expected to start next summer in New Mexico.
Titles of the three "Horror Chronicles" features have not yet been announced, but Dark Lot says Stevens, Jefferies and Monterastelli are already at work on their first drafts."

on Sep 08 2005 12:46 AM [b]Trying to be the new Hammer Studios?[/b] They'll have to do better than "13 Ghosts" and "Cold Creek Manor" because both of those sucked...well tomatoes. I never bothered to watch "The Hunted." (Reply to this) |
on Sep 08 2005 08:17 PM I cannot believe that Jeffries could even get a job after that horrible thing that was Cold Creek Manor. I have never seen a horror film that fails more. It was boring stupid and utterly pointless. The main characters were unlikeable and I wanted everyone to get killed. I cannot possibly see myself ever watching one of this guys films again after that. I will do it if he gets a 100 percent tommatometer rating how bout that? lol (Reply to this) |
on Sep 09 2005 03:22 PM [b]Pre-dick-able[/b] Three more craptacular "horror" movies. Let me guess...PG-13. Yawn. (Reply to this) |

on Sep 11 2005 12:14 PM "Cold Creek Manor" was the biggest waste of a dollar I've ever spent. It was marketed as a horror film, i.e., the bed sheets moving after they leave like something ghostly is moving them when it's really snakes, and the movie itself was just plain garbage. (Reply to this) |
on Sep 11 2005 09:32 PM [b]But why...[/b] My Problem with this concept: Three awful writers are given the opportunity to make three potentially-awful movies. Why? Why give people with a horrific history (horrific quality, not horrific films) the chance to make a blunder out of their movies. It's like, say, offering "Bloodrayne" to Uwe Boll when everyone knows he is Ed Wood quality talent... (Reply to this) |
