The Cured Trailer – Ellen Page has to help out some rehabilitated zombies

By

It’s almost incredible how many different things filmmakers have found to do with zombies, with the living dead featuring in everything from straightforward horror movies to rom-coms. The Cured gives things a twist by focussing on what might happen if zombies could be treated and cured, and then have to reintegrate into normal society, despite their past as brain-eating ghouls.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘What happens when the undead return to life? In a world ravaged for years by a virus that turns the infected into zombie-like cannibals, a cure is at last found and the wrenching process of reintegrating the survivors back into society begins. Among the formerly afflicted is Senan (Sam Keeley), a young man haunted by the horrific acts he committed while infected. Welcomed back into the family of his widowed sister-in-law (Ellen Page), Senan attempts to restart his life—but is society ready to forgive him and those like him? Or will fear and prejudice once again tear the world apart? Pulsing with provocative parallels to our troubled times, The Cured is a smart, scary, and hauntingly human tale of guilt and redemption.’

The film is due out in the US on February 23rd. No UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

By

There’s been interest in remaking Joel Schumacher’s cult film, Flatliners, you a long time, but its taken quite a few years for a new take to arrive. The likes of Keifer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon and Julia Roberts have been replaced with Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton, and Kiersey Clemons.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘In Flatliners, five medical students, obsessed by the mystery of what lies beyond the confines of life, embark on a daring and dangerous experiment: by stopping their hearts for short periods of time, each triggers a near-death experience – giving them a firsthand account of the afterlife. But as their experiments become increasingly dangerous, they are each haunted by the sins of their pasts, brought on by the paranormal consequences of trespassing to the other side.’

The first trailer and poster for the film have now arrived, which you can take a look at below. The movie will be in UK cinemas on September 29th. [Read more…]

By

into-the-forest-slideMovies sure like the idea of a world after an apocalypse, and now it’s Ellen Page & Evan Rachel Wood’s turn to head for a wasteland, near-future world with Into The Forest. The film debuted at the end of last year at the Toronto International Film Festival to pretty good reviews, and now we have a trailer.

Nell is focused on her studies and Eva is training to be a dancer, but their peaceful lives are disrupted one day by what turns out to be a continent-wide blackout. Whereas at first the family bond together and try to make the most of their difficult circumstances, as time gone on, the challenges become more serious. In the wake of a shocking and violent confrontation that Robert has with a menacing passerby, the sisters must work together in order to survive in their increasingly treacherous new world.’
