Oh yes, That time of year again, when all my favorite blogs are putting out their previews of movies again. This time i will look into horror juggernaut Bloody Disgusting's Indie Releases for 2012. Color me excited. As usual the best thing about this is that otherwise I would not have heard about these films, as they are the smaller budget ones. This post is getting me excited about the films by giving me just enough information, without giving to much away, which is great because it adds to the suspense.
Of these films listed, I am most excited for Maniac, Lords of Salem, V/H/S, and John Dies at the End. Maniac I'll put myself as cautiously optimistic, its a remake of 1980's bizarre splatter film following the Maniac Frank Zito as he terrorizes New York. Easily the most drastic difference is the portrayal of the lead, Elisha Wood is a young star, small and fit, in contrast to the original who was an over weight middle aged man. I really think this could work. Maniac has a very eerie film style with strange flashbacks, and if they do homage to the original i think it might work.
Lords of Salem is another I am excited about. Rob Zombie proved himself capable with House of 1000 Corpses, and blew away all expectations with the now cult classic Devils Rejects. He has spend his other time doing the Halloween remakes, which I have not seen, but I really expect his new film to continue where Devils Rejects left off in terms of ability.
