Teaser Trailer For Indie Horror AMERICAN MARY

Source TWITCH
If youve seen Dead Hooker In A Trunk you'll know these girls, Jen and Sylvia Soska Canadian indetical twins who showed alot of acting potential in the Canadain low budget fick. Now te pair are back with another dose of indie horrr with AMERICAN MARY.
For any girls obbessed with beauty and believe that to get more beautiful you have to go under the knife to get plastic surgery maybe they should check out this movie. This movie has an big Frankstien feel to it and it makes you wonder if the movies title is a homage to a certain Mary Shelly who brought us Franky boy all those years ago?

Trailer aftr the break...

American Mary is the story of a medical student named Mary who is growing increasingly broke and disenchanted with medical school and the established doctors she once idolized. The allure of easy money sends a desperate Mary through the messy world of underground surgeries, which leaves more marks on her than the so-called freakish clientele.



Written and directed by Jen and Sylvia Soska and produced by CJ Wallis (who also handles the camera, lighting, and editing duties), American Mary stars Paula Lindberg as "Ruby RealGirl."

Teaser Trailer For Douglas Aarniokoski’s Post Apoclapytic indie THE DAY

source ThePeoplesMovies
Twitch have gotten there hands on the first teaser trailer for Douglas Aarniokoski’s Post Apoclapytic THE DAY. We dont know much aout the movie apart from its based around a group of young people whom survived a apocalyptic event and the cast the movie has ensembled is one of the things that caught my eye.
The movie stars Dominic Monaghan (The Lord Of The Rings, Lost), Ashley Bell (The Last Exorcism), Shawn Ashmore (Frozen, The Ruins, X-Men), Shannyn Sossamon (One Missed Call, How To Make It In America) and Cory Hardrict (Battle: Los Angeles, Gran Torino) and the movie is due to be released in 2011. As for UK & Ireland I dont know how much of a release cinematically it’ll get depending on the distributor (if any) it’ll get but I can see the movie getting a limited release then staright to dvd, but its early days.
What I really like about the this trailer is that it does what a good teaser trailer should do telling you alot about the movie with spoiling the sory apart from giving you the basics making you want to see more. What I do also like is the post rock soundtrack which comes from explosionsinthesky and I get that dark gritty PA feel like we got with GodSpeed My Black Emperor! 28 Days Later soundtrack, the right choice for the movie genre.

Its Daddy Cool Teaser trailer For French Canadian movie FUNKYTOWN

source Twitch
I dont mind dance themed movies that have some sort of story behind other than dance, films like step up which are pure dance movies and tough they performers are very talented they dont just interest me especially when your bombarded on tv with programmes like Britian's got talent your bombarded every minute of theday. So FUNKYTOWN is a movie set in 1976 Montreal when punk and disco where the music to listen to but disco was the more popular mainstream choice when studio 54 inspired clubs ruled the roost along with sexual freedom. The movie is based around the  Limelife Discotheque where if your into disco and you wanted to mingle with the celebs this was the place to go.
The movie is very dark, sexy and for adults as well those who love Saturday Night Fever as this seems to mold into a similar style movie and they do it well. The movie is in French and directed by  Daniel Roby and stars

Patrick Huard, Paul Doucet, Raymond Bouchard, Sarah Mutch, Justin Chatwin, Geneviève Brouillette and François Létourneau.


Funkytown is set for a 2011 release, check the first teaser trailer after the break,...

Impressive Trailer For BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW

Source HeyUguys
I spotted this a few days ago and quickly had a glance at it and believed it was only a cool looking music video but its actually a cool teaser trailer for a movie called BEYOND THE BLACK RAINBOW by Panos Cosmatos. The movie is set in 1983 and is inspired by the emotional backdrop of the Ronald Reagan era and childhood memories of midnight movies and saturday morning cartoons.
Visually this is stunning and the synth soundtrack by Black Mountain's Jeremy Schmidt gives the movie that haunting intriguing amotspheric feel. Been a kid of the 1980's in UK I can relate to the visual & audio stylings of the movie and with many of todays youngsters also inspired by sound and fashion of the generation maybe Beyond The Black Rainbow you may find entertaining.
Beyond the Black Rainbow is due to be premiered at the Whistler Film Festival canada Friday december 3rd, check out the synopsis & trailer after the break....

Trailer For DIE Starring Elias Kosteas

source QuietEarth
I have a big appreciation for Canadian Actor Elias Kosteas he is fantastic in Matt Reeves Let Me In, I beleive hes very under rated and in DIE he will get the lead role.
The movie is the directoral debut for acton Dominic James ,  Emily Hampshire, John Pyper-Ferguson and Caterina Murino. The movies story plays of a pyschotic mysterious man who rolls a die or dice but the victims all wake up in a prison cell and must perform 'the trials' or face the fate of the dice but is there a connection between the victims? As the story unfolds the truth starts to appear.
My first impression reading the synopsis, its another twist on the Saw but more like the cube , exam meets 13 Tzameti, The idea of the movie isnt really original but hopefully they'll be able to create a new fresh approach to the idea and hopefully give this movie some sort of theatrical release and maybe this is what fans of franchise like Saw may dig, but a movie with a bit more itteligence than saw.

check out the trailer after the break.....

Six people, each of them is on the road to self-destruction. They wake up in cells in a surreal facility, without knowing how they got there or why. Are they in denial? Are they crazy? What happened? As they try to figure things out, a mysterious man forces the six abductees to participate in a disturbing experiment called the Trials. During the experiment, the unwilling participants will come to face disturbing truths about themselves and decide each others' fate in a game of dice. As the storyline unfolds, we discover that something greater connects them all.

Concept Trailer For Dan Gaud's Zombie Flick DAYLIGHT

DAYLIGHT - TEASER from Ayz Waraich on Vimeo.

Source QuietEarth
I love my zombie Flicks, I love them tht much I watched the premiere of Walking Dead tonite on British television and this little beauty caught my eye. The concept trailer is for Dan Guads indie Zombie thriller DAYLIGHT which focuses on one mans search for his missing wife during in a dying world full of nasty criteons...zombies!

The visual style really caught my eye, very gritty giving you a feel that this world is not a squeeky clean world, survival of the fittest. The whole look of the movie I get that 28 Days Later feel rather than dawn of the dead and the Godspeed! My Black Emperor style music really helps the movie too.

Trailer For FOODLAND

sourceQuietEarth
FOODLAND is a tale of supermarkets, life spiraling out of control as well as show how pathetically stupid staff can be. Quietearth describe the movie as  "a cross between a coming of ager, a small town heist film and Kids in the Hall. Which is to say it looks distinctly Canadian." Well Im not Canadian so what there sense of humour is I couldnt tell you, best thing to do is check out the trailer!

Foodland follows a naïve grocery clerk, Trevor, as his life spirals out of control when he inadvertently helps his inept manger, Ian, rob the store. When the money is lifted off Trevor and Ian, they enlist the help of Glen, a slimy, incompetent detective, to retrieve the stolen cash. But events soon go awry and Trevor must now determine friend from foe, and get the cash back before it’s too late.

TIFF 2010: Surreal Trailer For THE ADDER'S BITE

source Twitch
What I love about international festivals is the bigger they are the more likely a trailer of some sort will appear online and the darker and surreal they are I seem to be a sucka for them and THE ADDER'S BITE Falls under the category.
Firas Momani The Adder's Bite is a short 9 minute horror-sci-fi inspired by the workings of  famous German philosopher Nietzsche and this movie looks at the relationship of humans and parasites and our dependancy on both the look is very gritty to reminds me of Lynch's Dark City.
The movie has picked up a few awards including one at the Montreal short film festival maybe it'll do it again in a couple of weeks with Toronto Festival? Check out the trailer and synopsis after the break...

TIFF 2010: Trailer For Kat Dennings in DAYDREAM NATION

sourceThePeoplesMovies
DAYDREAM NATION could be one of the movie you may want to check out if your heading to next month’s Toronto film festival where it’ll make its premiere. The movie is written & directed by Michael Goldblach starring Kat Dennings, Josh Lucas, Reece Thompson, Andie MacDowell and Natasha Calis.

The movie is about a teenage girl (Dennings) moves to a rural town (currently been plagued by a serial killer) where she has an affair with a teacher (Lucas).I dont if the killer is just a spin off/ background story or the affair will get entangled into the killers path who knows interesting twist.

Apart from the movie going to be at TIFF 2010 there is no word yet as and when this flick will be released apart from it been 2011. I wonder if this will be one of those flicks that does the rounds of the festival, you then completely forget about and bang it appears a year or two later, mm? trailer after break...

The Offical THE CHESTER KIDS Teaser Trailer

source QuietEarth
Below is the trailer for Travis Ainley's debut movie THE CHESTER KIDS and theres not alot of information on this movie. What I do know of the movie its about Stu who is bored of life and what he was doing he returns home during the summer to try start a new life or at least try discover what path life is taking him. When he returns home he meets up with friends and family and the route of his life he discovers is not the route he or his loved ones really want him to take.
Wonderful cinematography and the look of the film will attract people to the movie.

Short Film: Guy Maddin's NIGHT MAYOR

source ThePlaylist
Below is the latest short film from Guy Maddin called NIGHT MAYOR.

The film is about Nihad Ademi, an inventor from Bosnia who immigrates to Winnipeg. He builds, with his children, a machine called the "Telemodium" which uses the waves of Aurora Borealis to broadcast footage of "every day life for every day people." The footage is shown in different parts of Canada, coast to coast. Eventually, people begin to take to these images and start broadcasting their own, that is, until the police get involved.

The movie lasts 13 minutes and is shot in glorious black and white like his previous work of My Winnepeg a documentary about Maddin's home city. The whole style I would describe as experimental, original shot in the style of the black & white movies of the early 1900's  and this short movie is online courtesy of NFB -National Film Board of Canada and they describe the auteur as "an imaginative cinematic riff on the significance of a public film producer." Guy Maddin is very new to me and when I watched this short I got the feeling I liked what I was watching but if you asked me why I couldn't say but he is a very proud Canadian and his previous cv contains alot of Canadianesque projects, check it out Night Mayor below;

Trailer For YEAR OF THE CARNIVORE

Source QuietEarth
When you go to a film festival alot of the movies screened are without film distributors for certain countries and off course showning there movie at a particular festival can help the movie get that elusive distribution rights. Even when you do get it, sometimes you may have to wait a very long time to see the movie on a theatrical release and YEAR OF THE CARNIVORE by Sook-Yin Lee is one example of how long you have to wait.
First screened away back  September 2009 at Toronto Film Festival, the movie has now been picked up by E1 Entertainment and they have posted a full trailer online, check it out below after the break . There's no news on when it actually will be release but do expect a summer release, as for UK & Ireland no word if it'll get a release.
