Movie Trailer: Darfur
For those not familiar with the filmography of Uwe Boll, the infamous German-born director is responsible for some of the lowest-ranking films of all time on the IMDb. His back catalogue consists mostly of video game adaptations such as House Of The Dead and Alone In The Dark. Those that I’ve watched, I can honestly say have gone beyond the realms of ‘so bad its good’ and into something altogether more horrifically awful.
With his new film, Boll focusses on the ongoing conflict in Darfur. Starring Edward Furlong, Matt Frewer, Billy Zane and Boll stalwart Kristanna Loken, the dialogue in Darfur is alleged to be improvised by the actors on-set and filmed mostly with hand-held cameras in order to give it a better sense of realism.
I don’t know how this will turn out, but no doubt the film will cause a considerable stir. Whether that be from those familiar with the real-world conflict, from Uwe Boll’s numerous detractors, or from those looking to take Boll on in another boxing match, remains to be seen.

Movie Trailer: YELLOWBRICKROAD
This looks interesting. YellowBrickRoad, a suspense-horror film directed by Jesse Holland, which looks like an atmospheric mixture of The Evil Dead, The Shining and The Blair Witch Project.
Centred around a mysterious wilderness trail that was supposedly the last place anybody saw the residents of a sleepy rural American town, before they were discovered by a search party variously frozen to death and brutally slaughtered.
Not many details are available at present, but it looks suitably tense and creepy, very well filmed and with a great musical score.
The film’s tagline is: “They were searching for an evil in the forest… but the forest found the evil in them.”
