The Innkeepers Trailer Review

Do not go into the basement. They have been warned but did they listen? Of course not! Why would they? If they didn't went down there and started snooping around, then we won't have The Innkeepers trailer and film to review here.



The Innkeepers trailer looks like a decent horror film basing solely on this trailer. It provides a nice sense of mystery to how and what could possibly transpire inside this haunted inn on its last few days and the unfortunate fate of the people who dared to explore it. The trailer uses this nice classic music to give it this spooky vibe. Nice spooky effects but we hope it doesn't give just provides jump scares but authentic psychological horror. Will it be a good horror film? Well, that is the question. The trailer is crossing a fine line between decent and a mediocre What do you think about this trailer?

Chronicle Trailer Impressions: A Fresh Take on Super Powers, Heroes and Villains

Chronicle is a fresh take on the super hero genre. Peter's uncle reminded him that with great powers comes great responsibility, but what if there wasn't any authority to remind one once he gets that powers. No, Chronicle is not a Marvel or Spiderman film, but as how it looks like, this sci-fi found footage film scheduled for a February 2012 release looks kick ass!



Chronicle
Plot

Three high school friends gain superpowers after making an incredible discovery. Soon, though, they find their lives spinning out of control and their bond tested as they embrace their darker sides.

Chronicle Trailer Review

There is a certain charm that a found footage format film has that film fans would either love or hate. Movie goers might hate it because of its amateurish and low budget-look with occasional shaky camera effect; while others love it because of its somewhhat more grounded to reality effect and projection. The 2012 Chronicle movie uses the found footage format usually seen applied in various horror flicks like Paranormal Activity, Blairwitch Project, REC, etc.



The Chronicle has a pretty interesting and intriguing trailer. Some of us may have a wild fantasy of having super powers, but what happens when we finally have it? Chronicle which can very well be alternately called the "chronicles of having super powers" addresses that issues. To what could give them these so called powers and how it would all end when their friendship and sanity are put to the test are the two main selling point of this film.

Interesting and Intriguing Web Episodes: Untitled Jersey City Project Impressions

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Untitled Jersey City Project for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Youtube is continually growing to be a global phenomenon thanks to various people and companies contributing quality video uploads for twenty four hours a day and seven days a week. Dramatic, eye-opening, hilarious, informative, interesting, you want it? Youtube probably has it. Television no longer dominates home entertainment, with interesting web series like the Untitled Jersey City Project the internet is slowly taking over as a good (if not better) alternative.

I am a big fan of watching shows on Youtube and various web episodes or exclusive online series. Everytime I stumble upon something interesting, I can't help but to talk and give my two cents about it. One particular web series comprising of eight short episodes piqued my interest and curiosity, the Untitled Jersey City Project. It has some familiar faces (actors) and good acting. It comprises of short episodes which usually runs under three minutes are fragments of a much larger story. It has a unique and unconventional phasing which makes you ask for more. What happens next and what happened before that? This is what makes it interesting, intriguing and compelling to watch.

The interesting part about the short web series is that you don't need to start watching it from the very first episode. Here is episode two and you'll see how fragmented it seems and how intriguing it can get.

The Untitled Jersey City Project is a nice teaser or hype builder to whatever mainstream series it might become in the future. Right from the very start, it doesn't sugar coat that it is a unique experiment of an entertainment concept which is a television drama. When you managed to watch the entirety of all eight episodes of the Untitled Jersey City Project, tell us your thoughts and suggestion about this web series and potential television series in the making?

The Devil Inside Trailer Impressions: Demonic Possession Addressed Through Science and Religion?

Demonic possessions have been used as a theme on most horror films and to whether you will believe them or not, one thing is certain Hollywood is here to make movies out of them. The Devil Inside is another exorcism-themed horror film set to be released on January 2012. What does the trailer say about this flick?



The Devil Inside
Plot

In 1989, emergency responders received a 9-1-1 call from Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley) confessing that she had brutally killed three people. 20 years later, her daughter Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) seeks to understand the truth about what happened that night. She travels to the Centrino Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Italy where her mother has been locked away to determine if her mother is mentally ill or demonically possessed.

The Devil Inside Movie Trailer Impressions
The Devil Inside Film Trailer Reviews

A key to any successful film trailer is to build up hype without spoiling anything about the film and thank goodness The Devil Inside does everything right. The element of mystery is important to every horror film and although it has already featured some scenes with jump scares which this film might possibly have a lot, it somehow works in this trailer's favor. We have already seen horror films adapt this "based on actual events" gig, and so far it might still work. To whether the indie style shaky film will work well on this film is yet to be seen. The Devil Inside is one of those kinds of film that suggest you leave most of your belief system behind, and just enjoy the spooks and scares that this film has to offer.

A decent trailer worthy of recommending from the trailer alone, but will it live up to its trailer once it officially hits the theaters on January? Share what you think of this trailer at the comments section below.

The Avengers Trailer Impressions: Assembling and Avenging on 2012

There is no doubt that The Avengers is the most highly anticipated film by Marvel and super hero fans alike. It might not have the best plot, and no matter how critics might give it a thumbs down, this kinds of film will surely be a blockbuster. The Avengers stars Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Scarlett Johansson as The Black Widow, Chris Evans as Captain America, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, and Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury and with an all star cast with each coming from their own separate films (Captain America, Thor, and Iron Man... and yes, even The Hulk), it is a no brainer that this will be the biggest summer movie of 2012.



The Avengers
Plot

When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.

Trailer Reviews

This is the first official trailer for The Avengers which is coming out on May 2012, and it is a good teaser trailer. The teaser features possible conflict between characters as they all came from different worlds (eras or realms) and literally are a one man army themselves. Although this concept isn't something new for super hero fans (this is still a cliche) but it is the Avengers, thinking how would the conflict would eventually be resolved to once and for all unite to fight a common enemy is what everyone might be curious to watch. It is a good teaser in a sense tat it doesn't tell everything about the film. It obviously just let us have a sneak peak of the villain of the film which is Loki and him possibly using the cosmic cube/teseract (from Captain America: The First Avenger) but whatelse is there? What power danger would it bring that calls for the Avengers to be assembled?

The Hunger Games Trailer Impressions: A Promising New Franchise

Whether you like it or not, Hollywood will have its way on your much beloved book via movie adaptations. You have to give them props though for adapting those seemingly complex and endless chapters of a book into a two to three hour flick. Only few films have successfully mimicked its original counterpart's success, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter are the two best examples of which. Now another film based on a book is on the works, and he premise alone is solid... The Hunger Games.



The Hunger Games
Plot

Katniss is a 16-year-old girl living with her mother and younger sister in the poorest district of Panem, the remains of what used to be the United States. Long ago the districts waged war on the Capitol and were defeated. As part of the surrender terms, each district agreed to send one boy and one girl to appear in an annual televised event called, "The Hunger Games." The terrain, rules, and level of audience participation may change but one thing is constant: kill or be killed. When Katniss' sister is chosen by lottery, Katniss steps up to go in her place.

Hollywood had its fair share of movie adaptations and if you have been a big movie goer, you'll know that not every book adapted to the big screen is as good as what you might think of it, I am looking at you Twilight. But every once in a while there are actually good movie adaptations that comes along the way that proves that Hollywood still has "it". Call me optimistic about "The Hunger Games" but after reading the premise and this teaser, it somehow give the impression that it is one of those good movie adaptations.



The Hunger Games is slated for a March 2012 release and they are a bit successful in teasing with this trailer... at least for those who have read the book. But for someone who doesn't know about the books, this trailer might be a little obscure. Hope the next trailers would include stating a post apocalyptic world and a few characterization of the protagonists without spoiling too much on what will happen in the film. If you got curious on the premise I said earlier, then go spoil yourself by reading it on Wiki or some book reviews on the net. Hopefully you won't spoil your self too much to not see this movie as this MIGHT potentially be the next Harry Potter film franchise; or maybe I am just hopeful of seeing a good novel to film adaptation once again.

The Thing Trailer Impressions: It's The Thing All Over Again

If there is one thing that we could either be thankful or hateful towards Hollywood, it is for doing remakes or reboots of classic films. This time Universal Pictures makes a prequel to the popular 1982 sci-fi horror classic "The Thing", with "The Thing".



The Thing
Plot

Taking place three days before the events of the John Carpenter 1982 film. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) joins a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across a crashed extraterrestrial spaceship buried in the ice of Antarctica. They discover a creature that seems to have died in the crash eons ago.

When an experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate joins the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing and imitating them one at a time, using its uncanny ability to mimic any life form it absorbs through digestion, and potentially reaching civilization.

Trailer Reviews

Although people who have seen the 1982 classic "The Thing" knows what the creature (antagonist) look like, the teaser doesn't show it in action and that is a good thing. We personally think that trailers must not give everything away but piques movie goers interest to go see it. Hollywood has been guilty of showing too much on their trailers and luckily "The Thing" doesn't fall under such terrible marketing campaign. Well let's keep our fingers crossed that it would still do on future teaser releases.



Being a prequel and all, it is nice to see what is the origin story of another horror classic. Also as being a prequel, you might already have an idea on the outcome of the film, but it would still be interesting to watch The Thing all over again.

Nightmare on Elm Street's Freddy Krueger is on Mortal Kombat 9

When the good folks from Nether Realm Studios, Warner Bros. Games, and Mortal Kombat announced that there is a surprised downloadable character coming to the phenomenal Mortal Kombat 9, they were not kidding. They recently unveiled the last DLC out of four new characters for the Mortal Kombat, presenting Freddy Krueger.




Freddy Krueger is Mortal Kombat 9's last DLC character out of the four announced additional DLC characters for Mortal Kombat 9. If you own an xbox 360, Freddy Krueger is the fourth and free character for Mortal Kombat's Season Pass. Pay only 1200 Microsoft Points or $15 for all four characters: Skarlet, Kenshi, Rain and Freddy. For those who don't want (or have) to purchase all four characters, I believe Freddy Krueger would still be available at around five bucks to whether you are on XBLA or PSN. He will be available for download by August 9, 2011.

Watch Freddy Krueger DLC Announcement Trailer for Mortal Kombat here:




One can notice that the Freddy Krueger DLC character design is directly modeled from the Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 reboot which stars Jackie Earle Haley as the infamous Freddy Krueger. It would be nice if they use the 90's Robert Englund's version of Freddy but it might still be a possibility since here are alternate costumes for Mortal Kombat 9. I just have some few things to say about the Freddy Krueger DLC announcement trailer. Why does Freddy have two metal-clawed brown leather glove when it should supposed to be only one and is supposed to be only located on his right hand? Why did they choose Scorpion to be he example of a Fatality move for Freddy? We all know that fire is Scorpio's element so just why use him? I am as puzzled as everyone else but the fact still remains, Freddy Krueger is a perfect character to be added in the Mortal Kombat universe.

To whether this is a blasphemy to Mortal Kombat gaming purists, or a blessing to both MK and classic horror film series fans one thing is certain and let me use one of Freddy's lines in one of Nightmare on Elm street movies "Freddy is back B*tch!" and he is here to stay on your video games.
