12/8/11 — The Best Horror Movies of 2011 #1 THE INNKEEPERS "Ti West does not fuck around. Not only is The Innkeepers the scariest movie of the year, but it’s also one of the funniest. It features the finest female performance of the year (if you weren’t already taking Sara Paxton seriously, this will make you), a script that absolutely nails what it’s like spending long hours with a close co-worker at a dead-end job, and an unfailing understanding of how to build nerve-wracking tension without overdosing on violence. It’s a brilliant, inspired film that proves better than anything else on this list that fantastic horror is indeed not dead." Great smart list for any horror fan; fun to be #1. Also on there, YOU'RE NEXT... read more at Horror's Not Dead |

The film tells of the last two employees of the old haunted The Yankee Pedlar Hotel, which is to close its doors in the near future.

Variety reviews Wingard's YOU'RE NEXT There may be no great originality on display in "You're Next," the latest indie horror opus from Adam Wingard ("A Horrible Way to Die," "Pop Skull"), but there's certainly plenty of energy. Once brief preliminaries are over, this tale of a wealthy family under siege at the requisite isolated country home offers genre fans what they came for in terms of high-body-count mayhem. No doubt smelling blood -- of which there is plenty -- as well as B.O. potential, distribs were tightly circling this chiller at Toronto, with prospects of wider play than the helmer has previously scored very likely. |

The bride (The Innkeepers)
"Like a ghost from the past stepping into our frenetic age, West's film stands before us inviting comparisons to cinema’s most potent ghost stories and refusing to disappear in their long shadows. This one is a keeper: classic, in every sense." "If your expecting a splatterfest, this is not that kind of movie, it’s a very subtle drawn out experience, that I believe will be appreciated more in decades to come than it is now." |

FRIGHT FEST, FRIDAY 26 AUGUST
Fessenden with host Jamie Graham
The Empire Theater, Ti West, Andrew van den Hauten
Lucky McKee, van den Hauten, Joe Lynch and Adam Green
Next up was a real treat - the Total Film interview with director, producer and actor Larry Fessenden. We were treated to a montage of his hard to find titles, including Wendigo and The Last Winter, and the amazing Fear Itself episode Skin & Bones, with Doug Jones in all his emaciated glory. The New Yorker was a wonderful interviewee, regaling us with his amusing Guillermo del Toro impression as he recalled his failed attempt to direct The Orphanage remake. The in depth chat saw Fessenden reveal how he would use a cassette recorder to tape the audio of horror films, leading to his focus on sound as a vital tool in terror. He laughed as he recalled being a sensitive child with a comfortable upbringing who would see danger and ways to die in everything. Fantastic anecdotes included telling his own child every day could be the end of the world, and his stint filming wedding videos and shooting them using sinister, threatening camera angles. A passionate man with a genuine love of the power of horror as commentary, he calls the arrogance of humanity despicable, and compares Dick Cheney to Dr Strangelove. Fessenden was then joined by the freshest minds in US horror, with an engaging panel consisting of Adam Green, Ti West, Joe Lynch, Lucky Mckee and Andrew van den Houten talking about the state of the American horror scene. Cue plenty of hilarious accounts of studio meetings and remakes, and Total Film's own nightmare interview with Michael Bay, who had the gall to say the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre "doesn't hold up well". Green held court, and thanked the crowd for keeping original horror alive, which was a nice touch. |
