"Scream 4" is a commendable addition to the franchise that successfully balances nostalgia with a modern twist. It captures the essence of what made the original films so beloved while addressing contemporary issues within the horror genre. Although it may not reach the heights of the original "Scream," it offers enough thrills, humor, and social commentary to satisfy both longtime fans and newcomers alike. The film stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the "Scream" series and its ability to adapt to the changing landscape of horror cinema.

Die Neustarts der Woche, mit André, Antje und Daniel. Diesmal geht es als Erstes auf die Rennbahn, denn für Joseph Kosinski hat sich Brad Pitt mit seinen 61 Jahren ins Formel-eins-Cockpit gesetzt und mimt in F1 einen alternden Rennfahrer, der es auf seine alten Tage noch einmal wissen will. Trotz bekannter Formel funktioniert das alles erstaunlich gut. Etwas, was man über Film Nummer 2 nur mit Einschränkungen behaupten kann. Denn MEGAN 2.0, die Fortsetzung des ohnehin schon recht hanebüchenen Horrorfilms von 2022, ist nicht nur kein Horrorfilm mehr, sondern vor allem eines: noch viel, viel absurder. Da schlägt man mehr als einmal die Hände über dem Kopf zusammen - ob‘s den dreien trotzdem Spaß gemacht hat? Auf jeden Fall nicht ganz so sehr wie der Geheimtipp der Woche: der Episodenfilm FREAKY TALES, mit dem ein bekanntes Regieduo beweist, dass man nicht automatisch von Hollywood aufgefressen wird, wenn man einmal einen großen (Marvel-)Blockbuster inszeniert hat. In den Mediathekentipps hat es sich mit Quentin Tarantino derweil eine andere Hollywoodgröße bequem gemacht. Außerdem gibt‘s mit WICKED und A DIFFERENT MAN zwei ganz unterschiedliche Highlights des vergangenen Jahres ab sofort für zuhause zu streamen. Und einen Klassiker in bester 4K-Neuaufbereitung schafft es noch einmal auf die Leinwände. Das alles und noch mehr in der heutigen Ausgabe der KINO PLUS-Neustarts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Das Original zu "Speak no Evil" ist ein dänischer Psychothriller, der mit subtiler Spannung und psychologischer Beklemmung arbeitet. Im Gegensatz dazu setzt das Remake stärker auf direkte Schockeffekte im amerikanischen Stil. Auch die Atmosphäre unterscheidet sich: Das Original lebt von einer zunehmend klaustrophobischen und düsteren Normalität, während das Remake eher "sonniger" Natur ist. Zudem wurde das Ende im Remake extrem verändert, um dem amerikanischen Publikum emotionaler entgegenzukommen. Insgesamt bleibt das Remake näher am Mainstream-Horror, während das Original durch seine Zurückhaltung und dem Ende nachhaltig verstört. Ich habe heute wieder Fabienne als Gast und wir sprechen über die guten und schlechten Entscheidungen, die das Remake getroffen hat und wünschen Euch gute Unterhaltung.

The Dark Tower Series: Part I - Of Waystation & Doors Review:Welcome to Out from the Horrorbox! With your gunslinging host Dom Higuera!In this episode, we take a look at the first two novels in The Dark Tower series, The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three!The Man in Black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed. So begins Book I of Stephen King's iconic fantasy series, The Dark Tower. Part sci-fi novel, part futuristic dystopia, part spaghetti Western, and part high fantasy, The Gunslinger tells the story of Roland Deschain, Mid-World's last gunslinger, who is tracking an enigmatic magician known only as the man in black. Following his quarry across the demon-infested Mohaine Desert, Roland confronts a mad preacher woman and her murderous flock, holds palaver with a speaking demon, and finally befriends a young boy from our world named Jake Chambers. Jake joins Roland on his quest, but while Roland travels with his young companion Jake, the man in black travels with Roland's soul in his pocket. After his final confrontation with the Man in Black, an exhausted Roland awakes on the beach of the Western Sea and is immediately attacked by a shoreline monster known as a lobstrosity. Roland kills the clawed creature, but not before it bites off two of his fingers and half of one big toe. Fighting off the delirium brought on by the lobstrosity's poison, Roland forces himself along the beach where he discovers three freestanding doorways that lead into our world. The first says The Prisoner. The second says The Woman of Shadows. The third says The Pusher. Roland's task is to make gunslingers out of the first two individuals from the doors before the Pusher can commit a bloody killing spree.Let's open up the Horrorbox and find out what's inside!  Time Stamps:Before the Novel - 05:30The Gunslinger: Resumption - 08:39Thoughts on The Gunslinger - 13:37Between the Novels -  30:16The Drawing of the Three: Renewal - 32:03Thoughts on The Drawing of the Three - 37:30Outro - 01:04:44 Thank you all for listening into the podcast!We'll see you next time and hear what comes Out from the Horrorbox! Sources: Wikipedia, stephenking.comDid you like the episode?

Zwei Jahrzehnte nach 28 Days Later melden sich Alex Garland und Danny Boyle mit einer neuen Vision der Zombieapokalypse zurück. Doch 28 Years Later ist weit mehr als ein nostalgischer Rückblick: Der Film überrascht mit einem Perspektivwechsel, neuen Zombie-Varianten und einem Kind als Protagonisten.

In der dritten Folge "Hirntot" geht es, ihr habt es vermutlich bereits erahnt (... oder gelesen), um den frisch in den deutschen Kinos gestarteten Film 28 Years Later. Wie es der Titel bereits impliziert, ist die Handlung des Films 28 Jahre nach den folgenschweren Ereignissen aus 28 Days Later angesiedelt.

„Zwei Hirntot-Folgen innerhalb von nur einer Woche? Ja ist denn heute schon Weihnachten?!“ In der zweiten Folge "Hirntot" verschlägt es Thomas und DingDong aus gegebenem Anlass nach Großbritannien. Heute, am 19. Juni startet in den deutschen Kinos nämlich der britische Seuchenhorrorfilm 28 Years Later und so dachten sich die beiden eifrigen Zombiefreunde, dass es doch eine ganz gute Idee wäre, im Zuge dessen 28 Days Later sowie 28 Weeks Later zu besprechen. Quasi als Vorbereitung auf den neuen filmischen Ableger. Ihre großspurige Ankündigung, die Folgen unter 60 Minuten zu halten, untergraben die zwei aufgrund des Double-Features allerdings abermals. Sie geloben aber Besserung… was das auch immer heißen mag. Aber wovon handeln die Filme überhaupt? In der „28er-Reihe“ geht es um „Rage“, ein hochansteckendes Virus, dem das Potenzial innewohnt, die Menschheit ein für alle Mal auszurotten. Übertragen wird das Virus durch Körperflüssigkeiten und wer sich erst einmal infiziert hat, verwandelt sich binnen weniger Sekunden in eine rasende Bestie, die allen „Nicht-Infizierten“ nach dem Leben trachtet.

Kennst Du dieses Gefühl, wenn mal wieder Deine eigenen Gedanken Dich komplett kidnappen? Zack, Kopfkino an, hallo Stress, bye-bye Gelassenheit. In dieser Episode spreche ich als Justus Ludwig über das berühmt-berüchtigte mentale Kidnapping – und ja, das ist genauso verrückt, wie es klingt! Du erfährst, wie es sich anfühlt, plötzlich nicht mehr Chef*in über Deine inneren Abläufe zu sein, sondern nur noch Passagier oder Passagierin in Deinem eigenen Gedankenkarussell. Achtsamkeit ist hier das Zauberwort, denn sie hilft Dir, genau diesen Moment zu erkennen: Bin ich gerade im Hier und Jetzt – oder läuft in meinem Kopf schon wieder ein fieser Horrorfilm? Gemeinsam dekonstruieren wir, welche Trigger diese mentalen Entführungen auslösen, welche Muster (und Traumas, Glaubenssätze oder sogar die eigene Couch und Netflix!) dabei oft am Steuer sitzen und weshalb Du manchmal gar nicht mehr weißt, wie Dir geschieht. Doch keine Panik, ich zeige Dir: Wie Du typische Auslöser und Muster erkennst – aus dem echten Leben, inkl. Aufräum-Stress und Chef-Allüren. Warum Wissen und Erkenntnis allein keine Gelassenheit bringen, sondern Übung und bewusste Praxis gefragt sind. Wie Du wieder in die Präsenz kommst, statt gegrillter Zombie im Alltagsstress zu werden. Dass Achtsamkeit – sorry, kein Zauberstab – aber immerhin ein echtes Surfbrett für Deine Wellen ist. Lust auf mehr innere Freiheit? Dann hör rein, schnapp Dir Deine Extra-Portion Achtsamkeit und werde zum/zur Expert*in Deiner Gedanken! Dein Justus SUCHST DU UNTERSTÜTZUNG?

The Scariest Movie EVER Made? Well upon its initial release forty-five years ago, not many critics saw it that way INCLUDING the author of the original novel which this film was based on, Stephen King.  But over time, this psychological thriller directed by the late, great Stanley Kubrick (2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Eyes Wide Shut) has garnerned not only a devoted following but a never-ending stream of speculation about what it meant.  Many love it for the memorable main lead performance by Oscar-winner Jack Nicholson (Chinatown, One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, Batman)  as Jack Torrance, an aspiring writer whose family ends up situated at a VERY remote location known as the Overlook Hotel....he's an aspiring writer but as the winter progresses, he starts to lose his mind.  Also with him are his beleaguered wife Wendy played by the late, great Shelley Duvall (Popeye, 3 Women, Roxanne) and their young son Danny (Danny Lloyd) who has begun to experience a sort of psychic power known as.....THE SHINING. :o Also co-starring Scatman Crothers, Joe Turkel, and Barry Nelson, this horror classic has launched spin-off documentaries, weak imitations, and loads of memes - let's head to the Overlook Hotel! Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Boys and ghouls, allow me to tell you about the mad doctor who injects himself with an experimental serum, turning the scientist into a hideous monster that terrorizes a hospital. This twisted tale is from the mind of Richard Lyford, a 19-year-old indie filmmaker in Seattle, who wrote, directed and starred in the short horror film The Scalpel. But he wasn’t influenced by horror legends like John Carpenter or Wes Craven or George Romero. No, The Scalpel was filmed in 1936, and film historians considered it lost for almost 90 years. It’s now been restored and re-edited, and been accepted to more than 150 film festivals throughout the country.

In Moviebreaks neuester Podcast-Ausgeburt „Hirntot“ erheben sich die Toten aus ihren Gräbern, um sich am Fleisch der Lebenden zu laben. Mit von der Partie sind Thomas und DingDong, zwei passionierte Zombieliebhaber, die zukünftig über gelungene und weniger gelungene Werke rund um wandelnde Leichen, Infektion, Reanimation, Kontamination sowie pandemische Apokalypsen sprechen werden. In der Pilotfolge geht es zunächst einmal darum, was genau ein Zombie überhaupt ist, wann er im filmischen Kontext das erste Mal in Erscheinung trat und wie die beiden zombieaffinen Quasselstrippen einst ihre Liebe für die Untoten entdeckt haben. Im Anschluss an dieses doch ein wenig ausufernde Vorgeplänkel widmet sich die Pilotfolge einem einflussreichen Kultklassiker, der sowohl das Horrorgenre maßgebend prägen als auch den Startschuss für eine regelrechte Welle an höchst ähnlichen Werken liefern sollte. Die Rede ist (natürlich) von George A. Romeros Night of the Living Dead. Ein Film, dessen Veröffentlichung nicht bloß für reichlich Aufsehen sorgte, sondern auch mit einem folgenschweren Missgeschick einherging. Wir wünschen viel Spaß!

By the time he was 20 years old, Seattle amateur filmmaker Richard Lyford had already made nine films, including “The Scalpel.” Lyford wrote, directed, starred in and made the silent horror movie in 1936 when he was still in his teens. The film also showcased Lyford’s skills with makeup and early cinematic special effects, which he used to transform himself into a Dr. Jekyll-like scientist who experiments on himself with gruesome and tragic results. According to Seattle composer and producer Ed Hartman, “The Scalpel” was never publicly shown, apart from a handful of screenings to friends and family and an amateur film club. But thanks to Hartman, who led the restoration of the film and composed a new soundtrack for it, “The Scalpel” is now being shown in its entirety for the first time in nearly 90 years. It will have its Portland premiere on Saturday at the Clinton Street Theater during the Portland Horror Film Festival. Hartman joins us to talk about Lyford’s legacy, restoring this hidden gem of the horror genre and what lessons it offers to budding filmmakers.

The Blob (1958) & The Blob (1988) Continuing our theme of taking a deep dive into an original film and its remake, this time we're looking at a pair with exactly 30 years between them: The Blob, from 1958, and its 1988 remake. A lot had changed in those three decades, especially on the technical side, with advancements in special makeup effects definitely upping the ante on what we see on screen. But the remake also retains much of the same small-town feel and trappings of the original. With these two entries, it's interesting to see the similarities just as much as how the remake plays out as its own creature; sometimes winking at the original, but ultimately leaving its own gelatinous footprint. For those out there that love to hate on remakes, here's yet another pair that break the mold and had given us two entertaining entries. Sit back and enjoy!

Ryan Coogler's Sinners is one of the year's best films: a purposefully messy vampire metaphor just overflowing with passion and ideas, painted across a tapestry of folklore, diegetic blues, and epic horror. It's why we go to the movies. We discuss its deep roster of incredible performances and its myriad of themes that catapult it beyond standard bloodsucker fare.
