It’s a second go around the alphabet of fear with The ABCs of Death 2. 2012′s first installment – an anthology of 26 stories, each representing a letter of the alphabet – was the very definition of a mixed bag, with (sadly) the bad often outweighing the good. However, given that the good was Very good I still held out hope that this sequel would live up to the expectations and potential that the format has.
Thankfully this time round the good outweighs the bad, although surprisingly there are some disappointing segments from directors whose work I’ve enjoyed; and whose feature work has been hailed as some of the best in the genre – not that there’s any evidence of that here – including...

Popular in the 1960s and early 1970s with more rare appearances in the 1980s, 1990s and the 2000s, the anthology-style horror film has made a solid resurgence in recent years with such portmanteau releases as The ABCs of Death films and the V/H/S series.
With Mexico Barbaro, Fear Paris and other projects in various stages of completion, the anthology horror film looks to continue to be an important part of the horror cinema landscape.
Some anthology films employ a framing or wraparound sequence in an attempt to connect the segments that make up the film while others dispense with this classic Amicus-style approach entirely and simply present a collection of short films connected by genre.
Either way, a horror anthology film is ultimately about the quality of its individual segments and this article will take you on a tour of the greatest horror anthology segments of all time.

Last week we brought you an exclusive still from Juan Martinez Moreno’s The ABCs Of Death 2 segment, “S is for Split,” and today we’re continuing our coverage by sharing a short interview we conducted with Moreno. We had the opportunity to shoot a few questions the filmmaker’s way about his super-tense segment, delving deeper into his love of horror and what cinematic scares keep him up at night. In addition, be sure to return on 10/23 for a guest entry from Moreno himself, going into detail about his favorite cinematic death scene of all time.
Wgtc: What’s your favorite horror movie and how did it influence you as a filmmaker?
Juan Martinez Moreno: It’s impossible for me to name just one, there are Lots!! I love some classics, Todd Browning’s Freaks, Jacques Tourneur’s Night Of The Demon, or Robert Wise’s The Haunting.

Thanks to the good people over at Magnet Releasing and Drafthouse Films, we’ve got an exclusive look at their brand new movie ABCs Of Death 2, which opens on most VOD platforms Today with a limited theatrical release on October 31st.
We Got This Covered is happy to be covering the letter “S,” brought to you by Juan Martinez Moreno (Game Of Werewolves). Titling his segment “S is for Split,” Moreno abandons the jokey nature of his previous creature feature in favor of a more dreadful atmosphere.
Starting with a simple phone call, the camera always keeps at least two subjects in frame. As expected, the call takes a dastardly turn once a break-in occurs, and a struggle for survival takes foot as a husband can only listen to his wife’s cries from the other side. The above picture captures the horrific nature of Moreno’s short, depicting...

Last week we brought you the insane and bloody red-band trailer for ABCs of Death 2. A tamer green-band trailer has now been released that you can show to your kids if you want! It's not as gory as the red-band, but it's still a fun trailer to watch that's packed full energy.
The movie consists of 26 short films, and each one has a completely different director and storyline. Some of the directors in the mix include Vincenzo Natali (Splice), Rodney Ascher (Room 237), E.L. Katz (Cheap Thrills), and the Soskasisters (American Mary). Here's the synopsis:
ABCs Of Death 2 is the follow-up to the most ambitious anthology film ever conceived with productions spanning from Nigeria to UK to Brazil and everywhere in between. It features segments directed by over two dozen of the world’s leading talents in contemporary genre film. The film is comprised of twenty-six individual chapters,...

Two years on from the first anthology, ABCs Of Death 2 is almost upon us, delivering another 26 international horror shorts in time for Hallowe'en. If you saw the original you'll know what to expect, but if you missed it, here's a taste of what's in store this time around. As you might guess from a film that's a kind of alphabetical Darwin Awards for gorehounds, the red-band trailer below is gleefully nasty and very unsafe for work...As before, the directors were randomly assigned their letter and given free reign to decide what word it stood for and what their film should be (providing it involved death in some way). The above reveals an eclectic mix of kids' fantasy adventure, botched beheading, hiking accidents, Russian Roulette, zombies (natch), monstrous burgers, stop-motion animation, urban myth and Julian Barratt.Directors this time include El Katz (Cheap Thrills), Alexandre Bustillo (Inside), Alejandro Brugues...

A look back at 2012 reveals an undeniable fact, it has been a great year for Latino film. Sundance started the year off strong with films like Aurora Guerrero’s sweet and tender Mosquita y Mari and Marialy Rivas’ rambunctious Joven y Alocada (Young & Wild). Gina Rodriguez broke out in Filly Brown, as a rapper who needs to make it big so she can raise money to get her mom out of jail. In the film, Jenni Rivera played the part of Filly’s mom in her first, and sadly last, movie role.
There was also a strong Latin American presence at Cannes this past summer, boasting films from Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. It might as well have been called Mexi-Cannes, with Mexican films winning awards across all main sections of the festival. Carlos Reygadas was honored as the Best Director for his controversial film Post Tenebras Lux, despite having received boos at its premiere screening. The prize for the Critics’ Week section went to Aquí y Allá (Here and There) and Después de Lucía (After Lucia) won the top prize for Un Certain Regard.
It’s been an especially favorable year for Chilean cinema. The New York Film Festival, in its 50th edition this past Fall, included three highly anticipated films by Pablo Larraín, Valeria Sarmiento, and the late Raúl Ruiz. And Chile continued to outshine the rest of the region by winning two top spots at the Festival Internacional de Nuevo Cine Latino de La Habana (the Havana Film Festival) just a few days ago. Pablo Larraín’s No, starring Gael Garcia Bernal, won the First Coral Prize. It’s a brilliant take on the real life story of an advertising campaign that ousted General Pinochet from power during a shining moment in Chilean politics. Violeta se fue a los cielos (Violeta Went To Heaven), a biopic about internationally famous Violeta de la Parra, a Chilean singer, songwriter, and poet won the Second Prize.
Whether it was at Cannes, Sundance, or countless other festivals, Latino films were winning award after award this year and even getting distribution (albeit usually in limited release). With the flurry of activity surrounding the region’s filmmaking, it can be hard to keep up with it all. Thankfully, there are professionals who get paid to keep track of what movies are receiving accolades, have the most buzz, and got picked up for distribution. LatinoBuzz went straight to the experts, film programmers, to ask, “What’s your top 5 Latino films of 2012?”
Carlos Gutierrez, Co-Founder and Director of Cinema Tropical
In no particular order, a list of five Latin American films that made it to Us screens in the past year (some of them are a couple of years old), which I highly recommend.
De Jueves a Domingo (Thursday Till Sunday), Director: Dominga Sotomayor, Chile
O Som ao Redor (Neighboring Sounds), Director: Kleber Mendonça Filho, Brazil
El Estudiante, Director: Santiago Mitre, Argentina
El Velador, Director: Natalia Almada, Mexico
El Lugar Más Pequeño (The Tiniest Place), Director: Tatiana Huezo, Mexico/El Salvador
Juan Caceres, Director of Programming at the New York International Latino Film Festival
Mosquita y Mari is a gorgeous film full of heart. Marialy Rivas (Director of Joven y Alocada) is an incredibly exciting new voice in Latin American cinema. She's fearless and full of love. I'm a huge fan of Lucy Mulloy (Director of Una Noche). She draws these wonderful performances from non-professional actors. A natural at using the lens to tell a story. In Las Malas Intenciones Fatima Buntinx plays the lead perfectly. Andres Wood made a beautiful film called 'Machuca', that captured the soul of Chile in the 70's and he does the same with a bio-pic of Violeta Parra, a folk singer who was a part of 'La Nueva Canción Chilena'.
Mosquita y Mari, Director: Aurora Guerrero, USA
Joven y Alocada (Young and Wild), Director: Marialy Rivas, Chile

There are way too many Latino films and not enough coverage on American Latino films so with that -- mine are going to be strictly American Latino films.
Los Chidos, Director: Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, USA/Mexico
Mosquita y Mari, Director: Aurora Guerrero, USA
Elliot Loves, Director: Terracino, USA
Aquí y Allá (Here and There), Director: Antonio Méndez Esparza, USA/Spain/Mexico

Just 5?? That's tough! In Filly Brown, Gina Rodriguez turns in a great performance, and I expect to see more great things from her very soon. No, I saw at Cannes, and it was fascinating, especially in contrast to Larraín's previous (amazing) films. La Hora Cero has unforgettable scenes and characters! La Mujer de Ivan has amazing acting, and I believe Maria de Los Angeles Garcia is definitely a talent to watch. Reportero is also fantastic.

No, Director: Pablo Larraín, Chile/France/USA

It’s no big secret I love horror films, but 2012 hasn’t been a great year. In my top ten, three films carry over from 2011, two won’t be released until 2013, two are animated and another isn’t much of a horror film. With that said, 2012 gave us Berberian Sound Studio and Cabin In The Woods, and for that, I am forever grateful. Here is a list of the 21 horror films from 2012 I liked best.

#1: Berberian Sound Studio
Directed by Peter Strickland

UK, 2012
Berberian Sound Studio reminds us of the power of sound over the visual image, and can surely join the ranks of Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation and Brian DePalma’s Blow Out as an absorbing appreciation of sound design. But both thematically and visually, Berberian is more of a descendant of the school of David Lynch and Roman Polanski. As things get increasingly,...

Director/writer: Juan Martínez Moreno. Cast: Carlos Areces, Secun de la Rosa, Mabel Rivera, Luis Zahera, Gorka Otxoa, Manuel Manquiña and Tomás Cimadevilla. Attack of the Werewolves knows many forms. This film has also been called Game of Werewolves and Lobos de Arga. If one directly translates the Spanish title into English, then it becomes the much simpler Werewolves of Arga. This final title is less than stellar, though. This review will call this picture Attack of the Werewolves, which is the United Kingdom title. Attack of the Werewolves is a Spanish language film and an entertaining one at that. This title blends horror elements with comedy. So, the tone of the film is light-hearted. The town of Arga has been cursed and it is up to Tomás (Gorka Otxoa) to remove this affliction. The townsfolk need his blood and his sacrifice in order to remove the curse. The creatures...

There has been a long tradition of Western crossovers in cinema. These include the addition of flying saucers in Cowboys & Aliens, steampunk in Wild Wild West, dinosaurs in The Valley of Gwangi and The Beast of Hollow Mountain, and the supernatural in The Shadow of Chikara and Jonah Hex.
And with zombies now high in the cultural consciousness thanks in large measure to TV hit The Walking Dead, it's time for hordes of the undead to march into the Wild West with new film Gallowwalkers.

The second pubcast from Dead Air host Jeff Konopka and Kirk Haviland is up now and ready to be consumed in mass quantities. In a spitfire T.A.D. exclusive podcast, the guys get drunk, get the answers to the questions that you want to know and make sure to keep you laughing the whole way through. If you ask me the Dead Air guys need to go to Pauper’s Pub to do more podcasts (or perhaps any pub). There’s over an hour of drunken conversation with the filmmakers you need to hear from to get ready for the next year of your life (if your a horror/dark movie fan). If you enjoyed the first installment then this is a must listen podcast event. Live from the drunk tank it’s the Liberal Dead (well… it was live). Drink with us. Listen to us.

Well, folks, Day 9 has come and gone, which means only one thing – Toronto After Dark 2012 is officially on the book. As I write this from my hotel room, while packing my things for my return trip home, it hasn’t quite sunk in yet. I know it will hit me in a couple hours when, instead of lining up at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema, I’m crossing the border back into the Us… But, enough about that for now; let’s focus on the fun of last night!
The night began with the Canadian short, Birthday Pictures. The film is an ironic take on a first date where a young man convinces his lady-friend to take a picture of him on his birthday to send to his grandmother. Of course, there’s a bit of a twist, but I won’t spoil that for you… If you get the chance,...

Game of Werewolves
Written and directed by Juan Martínez Moreno
Spain, 2012
A hundred years ago, a nymphomaniac queen kills an entire band of gypsies after forcibly having sex with one of the members and getting pregnant, hoping to keep the lineage of the lovechild a secret. With her dying breath, the wife of the sexually assaulted gypsy man (because he was raped) curses the family by promising that the baby will turn into a werewolf when he’s ten years old.
Flash-forward to the present and Tomàs Marino (Gorka Otxoa), a self-important writer and a descendant of the rapist queen, goes back to his hometown to receive some kind of recognition for his work. Unbeknownst to Tomàs, the villagers, including his mayor-priest-uncle, plan on sacrificing him to the aforementioned werewolf that they managed to trap in a barn. With the help of his sheep loving chum Calisto (Carlos Areces), his...

Today was Day 8, making this the penultimate night of Toronto After Dark 2012. At this point, only four films remain – two shorts and two features. However, before I start ruminating over the sadness that is post-tadff life, I’ll give you a rundown of what happened this evening at the Bloor Hot Docs Cinema in beautiful Downtown Toronto, Ontario…
The evening kicked off with the Canadian short Alchemy And Other Imperfections, which the Tadff site describes as being about a woman who “makes a desperate bid to rid her husband of a memory that has soured their love and left them ostracized from the outside world.” I honestly couldn’t sum it up any better than that, which is why I felt the need to use a quote. Anyhow, the short was very interesting and well done, featuring a lot of fantastical imagery and some beautiful effects work; definitely one to watch,...

Jeff is ready to geek out! That means it must be time for the Toronto After Dark Film Festival starting October 18th and running through October 26th. Shawn Savage, Jeff Konopka and Kirk Haviland get down and dirt with the entire festival line up. This is a content packed podcast filled with all the info a festival-goer could want. If you can’t attend the Toronto After Dark Film Festival this year this will be a great way to get ready for our future casts that will follow Jeff’s journey into madness of festival land Toronto. These are movies that are going to be talked about throughout the next year. If you’re a horror, cult, genre movie fan than these are most likely movies that you’re going to want to see.

One hundred years on, Thomas, the only male descendent of the Marino family, returns home to a warm welcome from the villagers but things aren’t quite what they seem. After a century of being terrorized by the vicious werewolf, they plan to break the curse by sacrificing him 100 years to the day when the original curse fell.

Way back in April, our own Ard Vijn heralded the Spanish horror/comedy Game of Werewolves as "A Spanish Shaun of the Dead, only with Werewolves," and now we've got a clip showing off some nice werewolf appendages. Back when we posted the review, it was called Lobos De Arga, which translated into Werewolf Party. Then it became Game of Werewolves, and now, for the UK Blu Ray release October 8, it's called Attack of the Werewolves. But enough title confusion! Check out the clip, which teases the horror aspects of the movie. Although it's also a little funny that anyone would think it's a good idea to check underneath such a decrepit looking blanket... Voila! Horror/Comedy. Have a look for yourself below....

It's nearly Halloween, so you know what that means: more horror film festivals. The 7th Annual Toronto After Dark festival runs October 18-26, and they have just announced their final wave of films.
American Mary (Canada) Canadian Premiere!
In this new festival circuit sensation from Jen and Sylva Soska aka The Twisted Twins, a disillusioned medical student (Ginger Snaps star Katherine Isabelle in a standout performance) decides to ply her trade in the shady underworld of unregulated surgeries and body modification with horrifying consequences.
Cockneys vs Zombies (UK) Canadian Premiere!
When a bunch of East End bank robbers find themselves caught in the middle an outbreak of the undead on the streets of London, it’s every gangster for himself. One part Shaun Of The Dead, one part Snatch, and loaded with outrageous zombie kills, the latest hit zombie comedy from Britain is a shotgun blast of fun from start to finish!

London Spanish Film Festival
This year's festival includes a separate focus on Catalan cinema, just weeks after Catalans came out in droves to campaign for independence. Partisan or not, Spanish cinema still looks to be in decent shape. There are accessible commercial movies here – Los Pelayo is a sort of Mallorcan Ocean's Eleven; A Game Of Werewolves is a Galician horror. But there's also more pensive cinema, such as Los Pasos Dobles, a Mali-set meditation on art and memory.
Ciné Lumière, SW7, Fri to 10 Oct

They’re big, they’re hairy, and they’re ready to take a bite out of you. No, we’re not talking about a cannibalistic bear bar – we’re talking about Attack of the Werewolves, due to howl it up old-school on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on October 8th. Take a peek at the trailer and artwork inside!

From my experience, horror films are always the most interesting but least attended films at smaller film festivals as festival audiences seem to be more interested in stories about losing your virginity than werewolves and zombies. However, two venues in Telluride, Colorado hope to serve that small group of dedicated art-house horror fans with three days of horror films from around the world at the 3rd annual Telluride Horror Show.

Ricky D, Michael Ryan and Edgar Chaput are quite familiar with the Fantasia Film Festival, having attended the event for years (some of us since the very beginning); so we thought it would be wise to list our favorite films from the 2012 line up. Enjoy!
Edgar Chaput’s Top 3
3-Game of Werewolves (2012, Juan Martinez Moreno)
A review for this film has already has already been published (link here), but the short version is that director Martinez Moreno and his stellar cast deliver one of the most engaging, hysterical, action packed and wonderfully shot werewolf movies in years. Not this Wolf has a film involving these nightmarish hunters been so entertaining. Its greatest flaw is the script, which makes some bizarre decisions as to character motivations, yet any qualms about why certain people are doing what are squashed by the joy out of seeing Moreno’s interpretation of the universe of lycanthropy…...

Game of Werewolves
Directed by Juan Martinez Moreno
Written by Juan Martinez Moreno
Spain, 2012
Ah, the classic werewolf creature. It is one of the vintage, most fondly remembered beasts made famous by Universal Studios back in the earlier days when cinema was but in its infancy. The first classic actor to portray the role? Lon Chaney Jr., whose performance, both with and without makeup, has remained etched in the memories of monster movie fans old and young. Since then, the werewolf’s cinematic record is spotty at best. For every The Wolf Man is a Wolfman (2010, Joe Johnston). For every American Werewolf in London, there is an American Werewolf in Paris. Is the creature that limiting as a storytelling device? Perhaps, but blessed be the filmmakers who come along and create what proves to be one of the successes, among them Spaniard Juan Martinez Moreno with his latest, Game of Werewolves.

Even though all the fun is winding down from this year's Fantasia International Film Festival, there are still some pretty cool things coming out of Montreal's big dance! Case in point: this latest platter of ocular candy for Game of Werewolves!
Juan Martinez Moreno's Game of Werewolves, aka Lobos de Arga, stars Carlos Areces, Secun de la Rosa, Manuel Manquiña, Mabel Rivera and Luis Zahera.
Synopsis
After 15 years Tomas, a not very successful writer, comes back to the village in Galicia where his family comes from, Arga, apparently to get an award. But he doesn't know the real reason why he is there: to end with an old curse that has been haunting the village for the last hundred years.

My general goal for Fantasia 2012 is to see 40 films and write about 20. (The scary thing is that in seeing 40 feature films I will only be seeing 25% of the Fantasia selection.)
Here are my 40:
Thursday, July 19th
1. 18:30 Hall For Love’s Sake
2. 21:45 Hall Dragon
Friday, July 20th
3. 17:15 Hall Children Who Chase Lost Voice From Deep Below
Saturday, July 21st
4. 13:25 De Seve Fists of the White Lotus
5. 16:20 Hall Cold Steel
6. 19:00 Hall Sushi Girl

It is that time of year again. Mid-to-late July means two things if one is a film fan either living or visiting the city of Montréal. The blockbuster season is in full swing, although that can be applied to just about any city in the universe, and the Fantasia film festival is mere days away. Ryan, Justine, Ricky and myself are counting down the hours and counting down our most anticipated films as well. There may be some overlap in our lists, but it feels safe to say that said lists also speak to our individual tastes as film fans. In also speaks to the diversity of the Fantasia film festival, just in case there were still a few people believing it was a mere freak show of the weirdest films ever conceived. There will be some freak shows, that much is certain, but Fantasia also offers a little bit for everybody.

Mixing horror and comedy is a tricky proposition. Leaning too heavily on one element over the other can lead to an imbalance, and too many attempts to synthesize the two genres result in movies that are neither scary nor funny. That’s what makes Juan Martinez Moreno’s “Game of Werewolves” (Aka “Wolves of Arga”) such a treat; it seamlessly blends legitimate laughs with earnest frights and gore. It’s been 15 years since Tomas Marino (Gorka Otxoa) has returned to his hometown of Arga in the Spanish countryside. Now he’s going back to be honored as a local boy made good. It never once occurs to Tomas that no one has read his book, which is also a critical failure, and that there might be some ulterior motive to the invitation. Tomas is more inclined to play soccer with his dog than actually work or think about the big picture.

I can't remember a time I went to the Seattle International Film Festival (Siff) press launch and looked over the list of films and saw so many I was interested in seeing. The claim to fame for over the years is to call it the largest and most-highly attended festival in the United States. This is a fact I've often taken issue with as I don't equate quantity with quality. Granted, there has been a large number of quality features to play the fest over the years, including Golden Space Needle (Best Film) winners such as Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), My Life as a Dog (1987), Trainspotting (1996), Run Lola Run (1999), Whale Rider (2003) and even recent Best Director winner, Michel Hazanavicius's Oss 117: Nest of Spies in 2006. That said, looking over this year's crop of films I see a lot of films I will be doing my absolute best to see.

(Think of a Spanish "Shaun of the Dead", only with werewolves... lots and lots of werewolves!) It had been a while since I saw a satisfyingly good werewolf film to be honest, but that particular itch got royally scratched with the Spanish horror-comedy "Lobos de Arga" (aka. "Game of Werewolves"). Director Juan Martínez Moreno has managed to craft a film which is a wee bit scary, somewhat bloody, very funny and immensely entertaining... and which is featuring many big hairy ravenous werewolves! Thankfully it was shown at the Imagine Film Festival in Amsterdam this week, which is where I managed to see it. And oh yes, I did like it a lot. Read on......

The fourth one-sheet is here for Game of Werewolves, and unlike the last one it's featuring some werewolf action. Now, what other horror comedy featured a scene with a werewolf car surfing? Hmmm ...
Juan Martinez Moreno's Game of Werewolves, aka Lobos de Arga, stars Carlos Areces, Secun de la Rosa, Manuel Manquiña, Mabel Rivera and Luis Zahera.
Synopsis
After 15 years, Tomas, a not very successful writer, comes back to the village in Galicia where his family comes from, Arga, apparently to get an award. But he doesn't know the real reason why he is there, to end with an old curse that has been haunting the village for the last hundred years.

It's been several months since last we spoke about Juan Martínez Moreno's hairy new horror comedy Party of Wolves (or Lobos de Arga for you purists out there), but with the passage of time comes good things, like teasers and posters! We love that kinda stuff!

A teaser trailer for a Spanish film we've been following, Game of Werewolves ( Lobos de Arga ), is howling on the web. You can watch it below, courtesy of Aullidos. In Juan Martínez Moreno's flick, a failed writer returns to his home village in rural Spain when the locals decide to "honour" him for his work. As soon as he arrives, he realizes all eyes are on him, but not necessarily because of his literary success. It turns out that for over 100 years a monstrous werewolf has been terrorizing the village eating whoever came along. Now trapped in an underground labyrinth of wine cellars, the only way to free the place from the curse that has been haunting it is to feed the beast with a member of the Mariño family and the town's just arrived guest happens to be a perfect...
