When The Hunter Becomes the Hunted...New Trailer For THE TUNNEL

source Twitch
When does the  Hunter becomes the hunted ? Simple in THE TUNNEL, a new viral horror movie from Sydney Australia. This is actually going to be a free online bit torrent movie and what we've seen so far for the movie is very good, the filmmakers also appealed for people to buy frames from the movie and the names of those sofar who have bought frames make up the cool poster on the left side of this post.

Set and filmed in the real maze of tunnels underneath Sydney, and using the truth as a starting point, The Tunnel tells the story of investigative journalist Natasha Warner, who leads a news crew underground to investigate why the government suddenly scrapped a plan to utilise the water in the disused underground train tunnels beneath Sydney's St James Train Station. They went down into the tunnels looking for a story - until the story found them.

There is apparently a easter egg in this movie giving you a big clue of what this movie maybe about and as for inspiration for the movie everything from Blair Witch, Paranormal Activity, The Descent all come to mind. For whats to be a free movie via sharing sites (early 2011) Im very impressed with the movies marketig professionalism as well there passion and the fact they want to share the movie free using internet technology to the max.
 
If you find the easter egg clue in the trailer please drop me an email and explain it, Ive tried and failed miserably, trailer after the break...

Watch Remi Gamietter's CABLE Animated short

source Quietearth
What do you get when you cross a French Sculptor with Dave Cheungs Aeon Flux? CABLE  a short animated feature from  Remi Gamietter which took him over two years to create using no motion capture techniques which the whole feel of the movie a jaggey affair visually similar to Aeon Flux but a little more organic I say, there is a feel of early sega style gaming design too. Nothing spectacular here but its worthy of been watched  as is the artist first short movie.

Seething with rage, a woman dives into the deepest darkness of this world:



a tortured tower made of steel and cables amid which she throws herself headlong to recover her three abducted little girls.

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.
