Having missed out on the third Underworld movie, Kate Beckinsale is back in vampire mode as warrioress Selene, who escapes imprisonment to find herself in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species. It’s certainly a bit of a change for the franchise, so take a look at what’s going on in the trailer. It’s due out January 20th, 2012.

Teenagers waiting until their parents are away to stage a huge party is a bit of a classic both in the movies and in real life. Project X wants to tap into a bit of that with the story of three high school seniors who throw a birthday party to make a name for themselves. As the night progresses, things spiral out of control as word of the party spreads. The film should be in cinemas next spring.

Will Stifler’s mom get it on with Jim’s dad? That’s the question people will be asking after they watch this new trailer for American Reunion! However it also reintroduces us to all the rest of the old American Pie gang, most of whom are now all grown up and more staid than in their teen years, but that’s all likely to change when they get back together for a high school reunion. The film will be in UK cinemas April 6th, 2012.

Shame has certainly got a lot of buzz surrounding it, both from enthusastic film festival audiences and from the fact its US distributor has taken the unusual step of embracing the movie’s NC-17 rating (due to sexual content), rather than trying to cut it or release it unrated. In the movie Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a New Yorker who shuns intimacy with women but feeds his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his wayward younger sister (Carey Mulligan) moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past, Brandon’s insular life spirals out of control. It’ll be in UK cinemas January 12th, but take a look at the new trailer.

Nightmare Before Christmas director Henry Selick may have moved on from Laika, the animation company he helped found, but Laika is still in the business of creating intricate stop-motion movies, and from the evidence of this teaser trailer, Paranorman will be no different. In ParaNorman, a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst of all, moronic grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits. The film reaches the UK September 2012.

Ti West marked himself out as a horror director to look out for with The House Of The Devil and Cabin Fever 2 and now he’s returning with The Innkeepers. In the film, after over one hundred years of service, The Yankee Pedlar Inn is shutting its doors for good. The last remaining employees – Claire and Luke – are determined to uncover proof of what many believe to be one of New England’s most haunted hotels. As the Inn’s final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage “ghost hunters” begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel’s long unexplained history.
