The First Official Teaser

The First Official Teaser of Slasher

4/5...aint bad?

A follow up from my previous post. 4 actors which include Caitlin Horton, Ryan Meyers, Corey Cohen and myself have so far agreed to come back to the movie and make it happen. At the current time, we are unsure if Thando Bhebe is going to return. The movie may have some characters cut as well as scene cuts but I don't really care...I am just happy that this long awaited movie is back in action.

Stay Tuned....more information to come your way. \

Who would have thought? But can it be done this time?

To think, the anticipated movie that myself, Ryan, Corey and Thando couldn't wait to make was supposed to be filmed a year ago. Now, Jojo Meys...a very skillful special effects co-ordinator has offered her help to make the movie. She loved the original plot and script of the movie in which we named Slasher.

Now, after a series of texts between myself and the cast, Slasher may be back in production and to be filmed this summer...making it a postpone of a full year.

But after all the previous drama's of filming just a few short scenes at the start of the year, can it be done this time? Don't raise your hopes just yet...but Slasher may not have died and been buried last summer and could very well be in production this summer. I will keep you updated.

P.S "Just a thanks to Jojo Meys for offering up her time to maybe help us complete the movie in which we all worked so hard on. Thanks"
From the entire cast

Scary Movie 5! Paranormal Activity 5! Wrong Turn 5! Scream 5?!?

5! 5! 5! 5! and 5? It seems that massive franchises are all heading to their fifth instalments. But are they needed...necessary or just dragging out the storyline too much? Are they becoming overused so much that they are becoming cliché's. It depends on the franchise in my opinion. Some franchises like Saw and Chucky (which is currently filming a sixth instalment) make the fifth movie quite well...and it's different to the originals...it's fresh and new. It feels like a new movie just with a similar storyline.

Scary Movie 5, obviously this franchise has no limits on how many it can make...why? Because there is a complete new storyline (spoofs of horrors/thrillers) in every movie. But can this movie coming out seven years after Scary Movie 4 and thirteen years after the original Scary Movie really work without Anna Farris and Regina Hall...central characters of previous films. This is the first film in the franchise that doesn't have the characters Cindy Campbell (Anna) and Brenda Meeks (Regina). Can it work? Now, it stars Lindsay Lohan, Ashley Tisdale and Charlie Sheen which did star in the 3rd film. The major spoof of Scary Movie 5 is Paranormal Activity and Black Swan. Will this fifth franchise work without the fan favourites?

Paranormal Activity 4 was just released a few months ago and already the fifth instalment has a release date. Most critics believe that one was enough so why a fifth? It's because they keep raking in all the money. the fifth franchise plot is kept under wraps and it is not known whether past actors/actresses will return to the franchise.

Wrong Turn 5...a bunch of college students getting stalked by a killer....killers I should say...now that is a massive cliché...but what I didn't tell you...that the killers are cannibals. This makes a cliché not a cliché. But with the fifth film...are they just over using it. With only 4 stars out of 10 on imdb....was this the last and final one? Probably not....because everyone keeps believing this one will be better....so they pay to watch it.

Now on a bright note...a movie franchise which I have been begging to continue is currently being buzzed around on twitter by mastermind of horror and director of the other four films, Wes Craven....that's right... i'm  talking about Scream 5. Sidney's story may not be over...and ghostface's killing rage isn't either. With all the trio, Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox and David Arquette all showing interest and with Wes Craven posting tweets about Scream 5, is Scream 5 finally going to happen? Millions of fans want this film to happen. Scream is one of those franchises that can't feel clichéd...why? Because unlike other franchises, every new movie doesn't feel like a sequel but a new movie...yes the storyline is continued but it's that rare feeling that doesn't happen often. Scream 5 and even Scream 6 (we were originally promised a new trilogy starting from Scream 4) hopefully does happen...it would be a great thing too see happen. But do fans want to risk it? If Scream 5 were to happen, one of the main trio (Neve, Courtney and David) are certain to die according to Wes. We could be saying goodbye to the fan favourites Sidney, Gale and Dewey in which survived the other four films. 

#5 in the movie industry all coming at once. What's your opinion? Do you think they are overusing them or that they a needed to finish the story line?

Paranormal Activity 4

 The anticipation of yet another Paranormal Activity didn't let down. In my oppinion....the best of the franchise. It had it's usual chills, pop-outs and screamers but we actually learnt about the where-abouts of Katie (All paranormal activities) and Hunter (parts of 2 & 4).


 Paranormal Activity 4 doesn't focus on the family as it did with the other 3 movies, but was led with a complete new cast as "The Neighbours." Yes....this sounds like a major cliche with horrors but it was completley original judging by the franchise it was used in.

The story takes place in 2011, five years after Katie killed her boyfriend Micah, sister Kristi, her husband Daniel and took their baby, Hunter.
This time round, the story focuses on Alex (Kathryn Newton), a blonde teenanger who with a little help from her boyfriend Ben (Matt Shively)...records all night to see any parnaormal events happenening. She notes that all these things started happening when the neighbours moved in. Ben suggests that he can set up laptops around the house to record everything. Over the next couple of days, strange occurrences happen around the house, such as Robbie waking up in the middle of the night and talking to the TV, Robbie and Wyatt running around the house in the early hours of the morning chasing a silhouette of a small child figure. Robbie draws a strange symbol on Wyatt's back, which Alex later finds to be part of an old cult which first appeared in Paranormal Activity 3. Some more of the unexplanable ones are Alex levitating while sleeping and the car driving itself out of the garrage with Alex stuck inside.

The final minutes of Paranormal Activity freak people out but I won't spoil too much but be warned...all the parnaormal events throughout the movie lead up into a massive event at the end of the movie....like the other 3...ending it with a viscious....murder and cliffhanger leading off into a possible fifth installement.



My personal rating out of 10 would be an 8 but if they classify it as a horror the score will drastically change...and not for the better. It's more of a thriller with a few scary moments.

Close friend Thando saw the movie the other day along with myself and Ryan, another close friend and was completely petrified. She couldn't walk into the darkness alone. She was scared big time and feared while even watching. By the near end...she was on the floor watching it through the cracks between the seats. She was horrified.

A great movie and the best of the franchise. Consider watching it...if you dare...BE WARNED!!!!!

News on Scream 5

Scream 5, the popular anticipated movie has been written but according to the writer himself, Kevin Williamson, nobody wants it. Fans have been outraged at the fact. With many comments saying they want it, there has been a gigantic act on it on Social Networks... especially Twitter in which he posted the reply to a fans tweet. Will Scream 5 survive? Hopefully Dimension and Weinstein Films come to terms and make the movie in which every horror fans can't wait for.

It was originally said that Scream 4 (2011) was the start of a new trilogy. Will it end before it even starts?

I hope not. The Scream franchise is my favourite series of all time and deserves the new trilogy in which everyone wants.

The Blair Witch Project

Nothing beats the classic horror movies such as The Blair Witch Project. Originally thought to be real footage, it created a whole new scene for horror movies that have inspired movies such as Quarantine, [REC], and the Paranormal Activity series.

The Blair Witch Project was made in 1999 and was made by hand camera to make the viewers think that this was real footage that they were seeing. 

Three film students travel to Maryland to make a student film about a local urban legend....The Blair Witch. Three three travelled into the woods for a two day hike but never returned. One year later however, the students film and video was found. The footage was put together to make this iconic horror movie known as The Blair Witch Project. 

World wide, the gross came to $248,639,099. The film however only cost an estimated 22, 000 to make.

Sorry for the short entry on this classic, iconic movie.

Breaking News: Samantha Horton quits

Today, on the 9th of June, a slasher meeting was supposed to take place but due to weather, it had to be post-poned. The day however wasn't finished, when Samantha Horton who was casted to play Charlotte, quit slasher because it was too stressing. the actress to be...well was-to- be quoted "Just forget it. I'm done." These words however aren't completely negative, although we lost an actress, we may gain one. Selena Wang who was originally casted to play Amy may now return because Samantha is gone. Selena originally quit because of the arguments between her and Sam but now that she has quit, there may be a possibility of Selena returning to the film Slasher. Whether Caitlin Horton, sister of Sam, and casted to play Andy, will continue to star in the film is unknown.

Is Slasher actually happening?

Yes, I know. Slasher is delayed about 6 months now. We feel your pain...the stress of work, exams and double booking has driven us on a wild journey through what is an actual horror for most of us kids. But don't feel bad because your now in luck. On the 9th of June which just happens to be this Saturday, the cast including, myself, Samantha & Caitlin Horton, Ryan Meyers, Corey Cohen and Thando Bhebe are meeting up for a meeting. During this meeting, we discuss filming dates as well as other important factors. If all this goes to plan, Slasher will start filming in the next few months and will be out to you fans either at the end of the year or early next year.

Sunshine College Writing Magazine

As a group discussion for Book/Writers club, many ideas were brought up. But one caught my eye and I'm not just saying that because it was my idea. As part of our Writers club short stories/poems/chapter one of novel are all being combined into the first Sunshine College Writing Magazine. Stay tuned.

Slasher Update

As you may be aware I have not updated you on the progress of the new horror/thriller film Slasher. There are three main reasons. 1.Dates were hard to find especially since this summer was busy. 2.Corey Cohen who was the the killer was grounded for the summer resulting into a main not being able to film. And 3.A new script is being rewritten. The movie would of only been good with the original script. We want an awesome movie so a new script was needed. The new script so far is actually way better with more dialogue, emotion and deaths. A new character has been added into the film as well. But the new character Mickie is only in one scene as she is not a main.

Due to all this...Slasher has been postponed big time. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will let you know all major updates once I receive them.

The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead, America's most watched show makes you so hooked that you can't take your eye off the TV.

Full with love, betrayal, death and zombie madness, this show is a great pick for all.

From the first episode till the very end you wont even move. It's so good, I watched a whole season in one night even though I was tired.

It follows a group of people who camp deep in the woods hoping for survival. There low on weapons and can't make too much noise. So many different personalities collide with not only the zombies but with each other.

With likable characters, good effects and a hell of a story line, I seriously consider you watching this one of a kind show.

Slasher

Okay as i said earlier today, we started Slasher today. Although we only got a part of a scene filmed, it is still process. We were unable to get the full scene filmed due to Thando's absence. :( I'll keep you updated as this film continues to film.

Dylan

Postponed Tragic

As you may be aware, it's the 4th and there has been no news on the first day of filming which was supposed too be on the 2nd. That is because Slasher has been Postponed due to weather and work. But not to worry guys, we are starting in just a few hours. But a downside is stopping us once again. Thando Bhebe who is supposed to play a main named Maria can not be contacted and she is unaware of what is happening today. Her mobile is off and no one has her home number. But that's not stopping us. Today, we are going to finalize everything such as dates/scenes/costume/music, etc. We hope we can get in contact with Thando before our first day of filming which should be Friday. I'll give you all the updates hopefully this afternoon.

Dylan

I forgot to say that this is the first post of 2012. LOL Happy new year everybody!
