Subcategories: Chinese, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, Remake, Epic Ass-kickery
Rotten Tomatoes: Liked by 80% of the critics
This movie was released last year in China, and a release date for the US was just announced: September 9th. Coming with it is a new trailer:
Red State
Category: Horror
Subcategories: Kevin Smith, Abduction, Religion, Just In Case The Westboro Baptist Church Wasn't Scary Enough
The new red band trailer for Kevin Smith's first stab at a horror film (pun fully intended) with political overtones. The critics aren't very fond of this movie (33% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes), but Quentin Tarantino apparently loves it (big shocker, I know).
And here is the original teaser trailer that has much more of the horror vibe:

Dante 01
Category: Science Fiction
Subcategories: French, Space, Prison, Mad Scientists, No Budget for a Hairstylist
I think this movie gets a bad rap. I'm not saying it's great, but the statistics make it look like a SyFy product, and it is a lot better than that. It might be a matter of misled expectations. If you love science fiction, then it isn't a bad way to spend a couple of hours.

Lunopolis

Subcategories: Independent, Moon, Giant Emeralds Of Power
This is apparently showing in festivals right now with no reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, but it is getting a lot of good press from the festival people. It isn't clear to me if this is a 'found footage' film or a fake documentary.

One could argue that this is more of a thriller than a horror film, but if we're arguing about it, then it's close enough.

It's good to see a film that doesn't appear to use the old plot device that The Plague is Caused by Evil or Inept Scientists Meddling in Things They Shouldn't.

Exit Humanity
Category: Horror
Subcategories: Zombies, Civil War, Yet Another Reason to Avoid the Backwoods of Tennessee
Coming Soon...
Fun fact: One of the actors here is Stephen McHattie, who was also in "Pontypool", and is also in an upcoming zombie flick "A Little Bit Zombie". If you count a made-for-TV movie about Jesus that he did in the late 70's, He's been in four different, unrelated zombie movies. He also played an immortal in the "Highlander" TV series, which is sort of a zombie, so I put his total at 4.5.

Supposedly Cuba's first horror film, this is generating a lot of buzz. It is supposed to be making the festival rounds this summer.

Code 46
Category: Science Fiction
Subcategories: Genetic Engineering, Big Brother, Tim Robbins, Oedipus Complex?!?!
It seems this is a real hit or miss movie. I really liked it, but you have to be in the mood for intellectual science fiction. Some have cast this as a romantic movie, but I don't think it is - I think the relationship serves as a plot device to explore duty and consequence. Maybe I'm just grading it on a curve because I had set the bar pretty low when I stumbled across this surfing the free movies available on my OnDemand...
