Potentially (but not necessarily) process-y Upcoming Movie Thread (with clips)

[thrandrall]

To be honest, I was disappointed on the whole with the processy bits in Poultrygeist as well, but it was worth a quick netflix/rental for some of the weirder moments.

At least the belly swellings in the trailer look a little better than the one in CoNeH 2.

Just caught the trailer for "Late Phases" aka "Night of the Lone Wolf" on my netflix rental in front of "Starry Eyes":

So I netflix'd this one too - particularly since the trailer hinted a female werewolf. Well...there are definitely female werewolves, since the villain intentionally "infects" several characters towards the end to draw suspicion away from himself - but we never actually see the women transforming (disappointing). That said, the actual transformation is a pretty good highlight overall. Not quite AWiL as far as practical effects, and more along the skin rippage format, but extremely well done for a low budget horror movie - the trailer shows a few quick shots, but most body parts are shown in good, bloody detail.

The werewolves themselves, seen in more detail after transformation, aren't necessarily as good or well handled, (folks in suits), but it still works pretty well.

While the concept is somewhat unique - blind vet fighting werewolves (after his guide dog is killed the first night) in a retirement community - he's got a month to prep for the next full moon. The plot (particularly towards the end) is a little spotty and uneven - although Nick Damici does an awesome job as a blind vietnam veteran for the entire pic!

Recommended rental!

Came across a teaser for this one a little while back - much more process-y in the full trailer - but might wind up being too CGI-heavy.

We'll see.

I'm sensing some potential here: http://twitchfilm.com/2015/07/tales-...anthology.html

Love the cast list and featured directors for this anthology project as well.

On a similar note...maybe some corruption/deadite TFs in this *amazing* looking series:

"Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart."

Extremely early, but apparently a remake of "Jumanji" just got picked up. Will be interesting to see where they go with it this time....since it was already "remade" as "Zathura" for all intents and purposes.

That said, the board game concept is something I've fantasized about for years as a TF concept - ever since seeing the first one. I know how I'd design the flick ;p

[thrandrall]

This could be just another Hissss! or it could be really good.....

on a side note - I never followed up my Society comment. The BR is excellent quality and it's great watching the flick all the way through. I need to watch it with the commentary sooner or later.

Weird belly twitching? Better than Troma? We'll see.

Just came across the review for "Patchwork" - http://twitchfilm.com/2015/10/torono...-stitches.html

Sounds very interesting and the visuals shown so far and potentially right up the alley for some folks here - albeit a tad on the more grotesque side of things.

Trailer here:

Well, for Halloween, I watched Call Girl of Cthulhu.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwqJ9IXn4WU

Very fun little, low budget horror flick. Great messy, practical effects.

Surprisingly enough - there's a pretty good process bit (over multiple scenes) of corruption/monster-girl type stuff. Conceptually and visually more interesting than the one in Starry Eyes, even if the final version is significantly less sexy.

There's also some monster, bitey boobies on a porn star.

Fun overall, and the number of excellent Lovecraft references/gags they manage to cram into the entire plot is pretty tight overall.

Highly recommended!

Hah! I'll have to give this a whirl, it looks like a hoot.

[thrandrall]

Well, the trailer still looks like crap, but this new review of Stephen Chow's "Mermaid" gives the impression of some pretty cool stuff.

http://twitchfilm.com/2016/02/review...he-camera.html

Still haven't watched his "Journey to the West" yet either. Gotta check that out soon.

[thrandrall]

Well, I hadn't come across any references to it in previous articles, but the full trailer of Terra Formars (live action) does appear to show some mutation/tfs including female insect tf/etc.

Not sure how good it'll be on the whole - even as a Miike film, it'll probably kinda suck - but now I need to watch some more eps of the anime on crunchyroll to see if those bits are actually shown.

And yes...there is still the usual racist content argument as far as the original material - not getting into that here.
