The Beast Must Die! picked as one of the AICN Horror Movie A Day

Quint, one of the writers for Ain't It Cool News, chose the Amicus classic The Beast Must Die! as one of his Horror Movies A Day for October. He regularly does a "column" of sorts entitled A Movie A Day, and of course, because of Halloween he chose to do all horror movies for the month. You can check out his review of the film by clicking here. He had never seen the film before, as that is one of his "rules" that he follows. Thanks to Quint for choosing an Amicus title and true horror classic and we hope that he enjoyed the film.

Stuck out on DVD today!

Stuck comes out today on DVD and BluRay today. Go get a copy of it now at a store near you! If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and see it tonight! Mena Suvari (American Beauty) unforgettably stars as Brandi, a hard-partying, overworked nursing assistant in this delicious, darkly humorous psychological thriller from director Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator, From Beyond). Brandi accidentally steers her car into a homeless man, movingly played by Stephen Rea (The Crying Game), sending him flying through the windshield. Not wanting to jeopardize a possible job promotion, she chooses not to get him medical help, leaving him clinging to life in her garage. But soon her psyche begins to unravel as captor and captive are pitted against each other in a bloody...even outrageous battle for survival. Director Stuart Gordon delivers what Variety called "ingeniously nasty and often shockingly funny" entertainment.

Special Features include a trailer.

Tobe Hooper talks about Buick 8 movie on Eyegore red carpet

I really hate doing the "paraphrasing" movie news site thing, so I'll just let the article speak for itself. This was posted by Mr. Disgusting on the great Bloody Disgusting site:

This evening marked the 6th Annual Eyegore Awards, along with the opening of Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights, which will be ongoing through November 1st in Hollywood, CA. Also on the red carpet, we had the pleasure of talking with horror legend Tobe Hooper, who chatted a bit about his forthcoming Stephen King adaptation, From a Buick 8. What's for dessert you ask? How about a little cameo by Bill Moseley, reuniting the duo of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2! Read on for the skinny!

Right off the bat director Tobe Hooper (the original TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE) updated us on his next project, FROM A BUICK 8, which is the latest Stephen King adaptation, which is being penned by John Schaech and Richard Chizmar.

“Just a few days ago I got the screenplay... it’s great" he tells SpookyDan on the red carpet. "We start casting relatively soon. It’s really cool.”

Hooper also revealed that the film is going to be pretty gory, giving away a pretty sweet gag that hopefully we'll someday see on the big screen.

“It’s got a little bit more visual [elements]…. there is a a vacuuming scene where someone blows smoke into something he aught not. The hair is going forward, the skin's loosening, eyeballs are coming [out]…. It’s gory, really."

“[There's] a mix of CG and practical," he explains. "A little CG to touch up the flaws and then the practical. I love practical.”

So there you go with some news directly from the director of the upcoming Amicus production From A Buick 8. The article goes on about Hooper and Moseley's work together on Chainsaw Massacre 2 and other things, so if you're interested in reading the whole article, then click here.
