Hansel And Gretel Witch Hunters 3D (Jan 2013)

Hansel And Gretel, the popular fairy tale from Brother Grimm has a new twist  in this latest adaptation. Instead of the innocent brother and sister, Hansel and Gretel are now bounty hunters who track and kill witches like nobody's business.

Lead by Jeremy Renner (as Hansel) and Gemma Arterton (as Gretel), this latest adaptation was directed by Norwegion director Tommy Wirkola whom brought us Dead Snow in 2009 (click on the image below for more details).

Somehow, the movie poster and trailer of Hansel And Gretel Witch Hunters reminded me of Sherlock Holmes (the one from Robert Downey Jr). Except that the main characters are dealing more with the like of werewolves and witches. What do you think?

Silent Hill : Revelation 3D (Oct 2012)

Halloween is just around the corner. For movie buff, like me, the best thing can happen during Halloween is to watch a really really good horror movie. If you have the same thinking, your wish might be coming true as Silent Hill: Revelation 3D will be released during the Halloween 2012! 

A sequel to the hit 2006's Silent Hill, another successful adaptation from video game (besides the Resident Evil franchise which is already in its 5th installment). The  story revolved around the daughter (Heather) of Rose Da Silva (reprise by Radha Mitchell) and the sudden disappearance of Heather's father (Sean Bean). Look out for some shocking revelation, as suggested by the movie title.  

Resident Evil - Retribution (Sep 2012)

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (Jun 2012)

Can you imagine that the 16th president of United States is a secret vampire hunter? You can't? Me neither.. Fret not, the forthcoming fantasy horror movie, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will help you with vivid stunning 3D visual effect which left nothing for imagination.

I personally like the first official movie poster of which "the president" is sitting under the full-moon in a dark tone forest. It give me a sense of eeriness.    

Director of the film, Timur Bekmambetov is a Russian-Kazakh whom brought us the popular vampire franchise, Day Watch (2006) and Night Watch (2004). Click on the images below for more details:

Piranha 3DD - Rated R (Jun 2012)

No! There is no spelling mistake in the movie title i.e. I didn't accidentally added another "D" behind. It is called "Piranha 3DD". As this is a sequel and the first Piranha movie already in 3D, so I guess they just appended another D creatively (or lazily, depending on how you look at it) for the title of sequel. 

This is the kind of movie that you need to leave your brain behind and just go in to enjoy the fun, the laugh and the scares (occasionally). There will be sun, sea (or water park in this case) and girls in bikini, lots of them. (Warning: This movie is Rated R for sequences of strong bloody horror violence and gore, graphic nudity, sexual content, language and some drug use). 

By the way, do watch out for the comical cameo of David Hasselhoff (from the TV series Bay Watch fame) acting as himself (a life guard) and Christopher Lloyd (from the Back To The Future fame, aka the crazy scientist, Dr. Emmett Brown)

Director: John Gulager
Writers: Marcus Dunstan, Patrick Melton
Stars:  Danielle Panabaker, David Hasselhoff and Matt Bush

Genre: Comedy, Horror, Thriller

Synopsis: After the events at Lake Victoria, the pre-historic school of blood-thirsty piranhas make their way into a newly opened waterpark.

Sadako 3D (贞子 3D) – Japanese [May 2012 in Japan]

Today, I am going to switch to a rare 3D movie from Asia (Japan, to be specific). For those who have watched the very first movie of Sadako (贞子) would agree with me that this is one of the most tense and scary Japanese horror movie to date. The long haired lady in white that crawling out of the TV screen is the epic scene of the movie.

This year, Sadako (贞子) is back and it’s in 3D (as if 2D is not scary enough). To keep up with the technology, this time round, instead of crawling out from the TV screen, she will be crawling out from the computer/laptop (deduced from the trailer). I guess in the next installment (if there is one), she might be crawling out from the tablet or smartphone! ;-)

Sadako 3D (贞子 3D) will be released in Japanese on 12th May 2012 but not sure when it will be released in other countries at the moment. So, if you’ve had enough of western 3D movies and looking for a change, look out for this highly anticipated sequel in horror genre.

Last but not least, I accidentally chanced upon a photo (I think it was captured in Japan) when a lorry is transporting the promotional material of the movie. It looks eerie enough to me as it’s in real 3D:

Enjoy!

 

Director: Tsutomu Hanabusa
Writers: Kôji Suzuki (novel), Yoshinobu Fujioka (screenplay)
Stars: Satomi Ishihara, Kôji Seto and Tsutomu Takahashi

Genre: Horror

Synopsis: Akane is a high school teacher who hears a rumor from her students that there is actual footage on the Internet of someone's suicide. The footage is said to drive anyone who sees it to also commit suicide. Akane does not believe the rumor at first, but when one of her female students dies after viewing the footage, she and her boyfriend Takanori are fatefully drawn into the horror that has been created by the man who appears in the suicide footage, Kashiwada. Kashiwada's intention is to create chaos in the world by bringing back Sadako and the power of her curse. Now Akane has to fight against Sadako and Kashiwada to save the lives of herself and Takanori.
