The Thing

Description

One thing those involved agreed upon was they did not want to simply remake a great spooky classic like 1982's The Thing by John Carpenter or even its predecessor The Thing From Another World from 1951. We don't need to remake classics like Jaws or The Exorcist and The Thing is another that is better off leaving intact as it was so perfectly done initially. But this is more a prequel and as such does not step on the original. This story involves the same characters but with a somewhat different timeline and plot because these are the same ones already dead when the original movie began. Now we learn their side of the rather spooky story about the wolf like apparition that consumes its prey then assumes their identity completely.tarring Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Live Free or Die Hard, Make it Happen) as Kate Lloyd, a paleontologist who joins up with the Norwegian team of scientists who happened to stumble upon an extraterrestrial space ship that's crash landed in Antarctica. The pilot, Carter, who is played by Joel Edgerton from Separation City, Smokin' Aces teams with the crew to stop the alien creature that assumes the form of anything it eats and then becomes them to fool humans and take over. This is what "could have happened" if the 1982 version took another path and one of the best non-remakes to come along in a while.

Apollo 18

2011
Horror & Suspense
For those conspiracy theorists and urban legend enthusiasts perplexed by the question, "Why has the United States never returned to the moon?" Apollo 18 now offers a frighteningly realistic lost-footage answer. [insert dramatic, suspenseful movie music here]."According to "official" space history, moon missions ended with Apollo 17; and, although an eighteenth mission was scheduled, NASA maintains it scrubbed the launch. Apollo 18 alleges the mission actually went off as planned, and the crew of the ill-fated moon-landing encountered alien life among the craters. Supposedly, investigators recently stumbled upon never-before-released NASA video proving the existence of alien life. Shot by the moonwalkers, the "secret" video documents their encounter with the aliens, and you safely may assume the two parties did not exchange recipes for fish tacos. The very well-crafted trailer for Apollo 18 ostensibly shows you the "lost" footage."Produced by Timur Bekmambetov and directed by Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego, Apollo 18 is frequently reminiscent of Ridley Scott's original Alien, but in a good, allusive way, building suspense and genuine terror from intense realism. The voice-over for the trailer says ominously, "What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon."When you have seen the footage, you too may become a conspiracy theorist or fan of urban legends."
Carrie

Carrie

2013
Horror & Suspense
Stories about mysterious telekinetic abilities were extremely popular in 70s. That's way Steven King's book Carrie was adopted as movie just in 2 years after the novel was written. In 2013 Carrie returns on big screens thanks to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Screen Gems - both invested around 75 millions USD in this reincarnation of the film. Now Carrie features lots of stunning CGI effects that makes telekinetic tricks much more spectacular than 70's adaptation. What makes this movie special besides awesome explosions and incredibly realistic bloodbaths? The perfectly combined ensemble cast: just imagine a magnificent star of (500) Days of Summer, ChloГ« Grace Moretz as Carrie White in terrifying action scenes where telekinetic powers tearing apart all the stuff around and everting human bodies. Although, Lindsey Lohan was initially promoted for this role, finally Moretz was confirmed by director Kimberly Peirce. Chloe's mother Margaret White is played by Julianne Moore an Emme-awarded actress whose filmography includes but not limited by such masterpieces as Chloe, The Kids Are All Right, A Single Man, Shelter and Next. As for the plot, Peirce's Carrie is loosely built on the novel storyline with some exceptions which caused King's sarcastic remark "The real question is why, when the original was so good?" Carrie White is a lonesome, shy girl living in suburban house with her religious mother Margaret. Chloe's only friend Sue Snell (persuasively depicted by gorgeous Gabriella Wilde) decides to help Chloe to override her lone status by asking a local dreamboat, Tommy Ross (Sue's boyfriend, by the way) to invite Carrie to prom. Unfortunate prank turns out to be a catastrophic disaster for all those present at prom and for the entire town when Carrie unleashes her powers in devastating act of desperation.
Texas Chainsaw 3D

Texas Chainsaw 3D

2013
Horror & Suspense
Filmed as the immediate continue of the first 1974 movie in the franchise signature "shock 'till you drop" style, Texas Chainsaw 3D, picks up the story line of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre exactly where it was left off by the first movie. So, in order to refresh all the aforegoing events of the movie you may need to watch once again (or just watch) the first one. However, it's needless to say that Texas Chainsaw 3D is the seventh movie in this slasher franchise, so it would be very hard (if not impossible) to determine what the difference between them all. Nevertheless, the CGI effects are developing constantly, which, in the case of horror movies, means that the quality of bloodbaths and other meat ins and outs would be incredibly realistic in this new John Luessenhop's movie. The story of Texas Chainsaw 3D starts when Heather Miller learns that she inherits the mansions from her grandmother she never known; when she visits her new house, he realizes that the mansion is inhabited by some horrible entity. As for ensemble cast it needs some special words about: the main protagonist, a gorgeous Heather Miller is portrayed by Alexandra Daddario, who may be familiar to you by her participating in such a well-known projects as Hall Pass, Bereavement, Nurse Jackie and Damages; while Dan Yeager plays the main villain, Leatherface - you may not know him well, but this was the guy who has produced Ordinary Average Guys short film in 2011.
