Restricted Trailer and One Sheets Appear from ‘The Ruins’!?
Slowly but surely, juicy new material is turning up for the upcoming skin crawler of a horror film, ‘The Ruins‘ – and neither is managing to impress at the minute.The film sees four ‘explorers’ (is that what they call grubby student backpackers now?) visit an archaeological site in Mexico only to wind up facing the usual ancient evil that plagues the area. No sooner than you can say, “you shouldn’t be there, you idiots” do the fresh faced foursome find themselves having to operate on themselves to remove an ancient parasite that will eventually kill them all. Girls scream, boys cry, usual downright nastiness ensues.

First Stills From Standard Operating Procedure
Is it possible for a photograph to change the world? Photographs taken by soldiers in Abu Ghraib prison changed the war in Iraq and changed America’s image of itself. Yet, a central mystery remains. Did the notorious Abu Ghraib photographs constitute evidence? Of systematic abuse by the American military, or were they documenting the aberrant behaviour of a few “bad apples”?
We set out to examine the context of these photographs. Why were they taken? What was happening outside the frame? We talked directly to the soldiers who took the photographs and who were in the photographs. Who are these people? What were they thinking? Over two years of investigation, we amassed a million and a half words of interview transcript, thousands of pages of unredacted reports, and hundreds of photographs.
‘The Dark Lurking’ Movie Trailer
Something has gone terribly wrong at Outpost 30, a secret international research facility some five hundred meters beneath the snow blown arctic wilderness. All communications are gone, all means of escape destroyed and an extremely dangerous horde of ancient creatures is on the loose after a doorway to an unspeakable evil has been unleashed.
Eight survivors, two former research patients, three SOCOM Troops, two research technicians and a cleaner barricade themselves inside a remote area of the facility with little food, almost no ammunition and little hope of rescue. Their one possible escape route is through thirteen levels of terror that will lead them to the surface. And one of them is not who they seem to be, the darkness itself which has taken human form.

‘Prom Night’ Movie Trailer
Confession time: I really enjoyed Red Eye. You know, that movie from 2005 with Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy on a plane? Not only did I enjoy it, I paid to see it in theaters. I’m not a horror fan by any stretch, but hey, a good chase scene is a good chase scene, and not only that, the movie was kind of funny. Go ahead, judge me all you want.
But even with Red Eye in mind, I was all prepared to rag all over the trailer for Prom Night, the latest movie to send a bunch of nubile teens to the slaughter at the hands of some crazed something or another. I guess I was grateful that it wasn’t some piece of technology responsible for the killings, but that wasn’t enough to make me stop shaking my head and mutter “Oh, the things this job forces me to think about for more than 10 seconds.”
Strange thing, though: Prom Night actually looks kind of fun. Meaning, it’s the kind of movie I could imagine myself going to see with a bunch of friends back in high school, the days when Jennifer Love Hewitt was making a career running away from a knife-wielding maniac. From what I can tell the movie involves no torture or elaborate torture devices, and is actually more of a cat-and-mouse chase between a bunch of promgoers and a psycho who is in love with one of them. Basically, it’s No Country for Old Men for teenage girls, except without the air gun and the whole “lament about the state of the world” thing.
