Low Budget Fun with Korea's MR ZOMBIE

source Twitch
I spotted this one on Friday at 24FPS but I was unable to post the trailer as it didnt have a code to let me post it here but now Twitch have and you can check the teaser for MR ZOMBIE after the break.
This is a directoral debut from South Korean Lee Soo-seong its a new spin on the zombie sub-genre and this is a comedy with a slight difference Mr Zombie isn't trying to us mere mortals, no he's trying to save the dead souls that crave our flesh, crazy stuff but it does look good wholesome low budget fun....

Young-cheol loses his job and moves to a quiet town and works at a chicken restaurant. Near broke all he ever gets in the mail are reminders for unpaid bills. His wife tells him to send money, his daughter is embarrassed of her father, but when he thinks of his daughter in a wedding dress, he can't help but smile. A regular guest at his restaurant is a young man who is jobless. He always eats on credit. One day, his mom gets mad at him for not having a job and he bites her on the arm. After this, everyone in town starts to act very strangely. Young-cheol gets bitten and soon discovers the he, like much of the townsfolk have become Zombies. If finding out you're now a fully paid up member of the living dead isn't bad enough news, the loan shark he owes money too kidnaps his wife and daughter and threaten their lives if he doesn't pay up. For hurting his family, he prepares to fight against them. What kind of things will an undead, unkillable, man do...to save his wife and child?

Ukrainian Mayhem in YAKUZA'S GIRL(Doch Yakudzy).

source TWITCH
We do like our oddball movies at Cinehouse HQ and Yakuza's Girl (Doch yakudzy) is certainly one of them. This movie is an combine Ukrainian/Japanese made movie which  pairs the director of Mongol Sergey Bodrov with the Mutant Girls Squad director/actor Tak Sakaguchi.

The movie can only be described as a gangster/yakuza comedy where the daughter of a yakuza goes missing and for some weird reason she ends up in Ukraine (possibly Russia)!!!

I dont really know much more than that, so check out the trailer after the break...

Trailer For The Collective Consciousness With...... 0000

source Twitch
Unusal but different is how I would describe this indie sci-fi project. 0000 is the movie of director Eddie Alcazar and it's a project himself and his team has been working on for the last few years, get a concept work on it until things gel and become right.
Below( after the break) is some test footage  and it does look very impressive, bleak, dystopian most of all very unique and its helped it shot on a 16mm camera. The principal photography will start shortly in October, I just feel frustrated that alot of these movies which look so good Ill never see here in UK for reviewing or viewing purposes (unless some good soul would post screening copies)

The mind of one man will galvanize a global revolution. His technology will birth a new era of human existence and social connection, but this great gift is rooted in dark tragedy. If he is to survive, he will need the help of many, and if we are to survive, our awareness must grow.

First Look At The Pang Brother's CHILD'S EYE (3D)

source Filmsmash
The Pang Brothers are at it again with there third movie of their Eye Franchise with THE CHILD'S EYE (3D).
The brother's had a hit with the first movie and it was that sucessfull we even had a Hollywood remake with Jessica Alba in the lead role but for movie 2 they couldn't keep the momentum going. You could say they are asian horror's version of M.Night Shyalamalan great first movie and very hit or miss with the projects the coame after it it (solo as well as together).
14th October the third installment will be out and could this be the movie to push them back up the ladder or will it be their The Last Airbender? Apart from having a poor sequel the movie has something  it against it already....Its in 3D!!!

The Child’s Eye 3D stars Elanne Kwong, Rainie Yang, Shawn Yue, and Ka Tung Lam.

Stranded in Thailand by the political uprising and airport closure, Rainie and her friends were unable to return home. Unwillingly, they stayed in an aged and shabby hotel.
Among them was Rainie’s almost-breakup boyfriend, Lok; Ling and her brother Rex, and Ciwi and her beloved boyfriend, Hei.
From the moment they checked in the hotel… they came across three weird children and a puppy, and strange things happened once after another………

First Trailer For Song Hae-sung's Korean remake of A Better Tomorrow - INVINCBLE

source FILMSMASH
Song Hae-sung''s Korean remake of the classic John Woo Hong-Kong thriller noir A BETTER TOMORROW, now called INVINCBLE has its first trailer.
The talk of the movie has stirred up a few corners as the original movie (as well as movie 2) have some iconic scenes which some up the whole reason why Hong Kong thriller/action flicks have such a massive following worldwide. According to the director only the characters as well as the basic set up of the story remaining with the rest having a modern retake on the original, I think their treading on eggshells as the 1980's feel and look of the movie madeit so good.
As it's Korean the badguys in this version will be North Korean special forces entering the world of organised crime, mmm what do you think guys?

Anyway check out the trailer after the break...
