One of the most prolific film critics and movie bloggers in the known universe, Scott Weinberg is a proud scrawler for websites such as
Cinematical,
eFilmCritic,
Rotten Tomatoes, and
FEARnet. He's presently serving his third term on the Governing Committee of the
Online Film Critics Society, is a frequent helper to (and enthusiastic supporter of) SXSW and Austin Fantastic Fest. Being as how he lives to see any movie that can be described using the words "horror" and "flick," I thought it was only fitting to ask for his top picks for this year's Midnight Madness line-up!
A Blair Witch approach to hardcore zombie madness? I'm interested. But directed by the master of the undead himself?? Just try to keep me out of this screening and you'll see some real midnight madness.
THE MOTHER OF TEARS by Dario Argento
Dario Argento is back with the closing chapter in the unofficial trilogy that began with Suspiria and Inferno? Um ... yes, please.
STUCK by Stuart Gordon
I've been a Stuart Gordon junkie since the day Re-Animator first hit the VHS shelves. And you know what? He's never let me down.
Non-Midnight Gimme Selection:
THEY WAIT by Ernie Barbarash
Last year the Canada First! slate delivered the very satisfying chiller END OF THE LINE. I hope for similar results from this flick.Check out this
fun interview that Scott did with yours truly last year and below is a fun bit he did on the red carpet for 2006's wooly chiller, BLACK SHEEP!
