It would appear that yet another reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is on the way. But wasn’t there a CGI version released as recently as 2007 you ask? It all begins to make some sort of sense when the name of the production company behind this latest venture is revealed – Platinum Dunes. Yep, [...]
After four remakes/reboots in a row (including this summer’s Conan the Barbarian) Marcus Nispel’s next feature will not only be an original story, but it’s also based on his own idea. Entitled Backmask (and budgeted at a relatively low $10 million), little is known about the project, apart from the director revealing that is will [...]
Okay. Enough now. We’ve had Aliens vs Predators, Freddie vs Jason, Monsters vs Aliens, Werewolves vs Vampires. Before long we’ll get to see Cowboys take on Aliens, period-costumed posh types take on zombies and Abraham Lincoln start hunting vampires. We can only mash this stuff up for so long before we create a black hole [...]
Despite being critically mauled upon its 2009 release, Platinum Dunes’ Friday the 13th reboot was a financial success. Despite previous reports that the sequel was officially dead, it has pulled a Jason Voorhees and returned with a vengeance (via First Showing). Having originally announced the cessation of the franchise over twitter, Brad Fuller (aka @bcfuller) [...]
The number of decent horror remakes can be counted on the knives of one hand. The recent Matt Reeves incarnation of Let the Right One In was a rare success, and I can think of Breck Eisner’s The Crazies and Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead as two remakes which were far better than expected. [...]
With 2003′s Freddy vs Jason doing little to sate fanboys’ yearning for slasher superiority – though, really, only Jason left the movie with his head intact – Yahoo!Movies have endeavoured to throw Michael Myers into the mix and settle this immortal debate once and for all. Their arena: Slasher Showdown. It’s a good thing too, [...]

We’re got three copies of the multipack edition, which also includes a DVD and digital copy of the [...]
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, WRITERS PEN THE HALFSHELL, TURTLE POWER! It looks like the new turtles movie is going to be penned by the same guys that brought us the first Iron Man film, I’m talking about Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. The new TMNT film is [...]
A few months have passed since the news broke that the well remembered 80s creature feature The Monster Squad was being pulled, kicking and screaming, from the ground and dragged into the 21st Century. With original producer Rob Cohen making the leap from The Mummy and Fast/Furious franchises back into the world of The Monster [...]
Whether it’s the US’s ‘Ninja Turtles’ or the UK’s quaint ‘Hero Turtles’, there’s no doubt that the shelled mutants ruled the playgrounds in the early nineties, oozing things like ‘street cred’ all over the place. The live action films which followed the comic book and TV series into production were generally received well by the [...]
I’m a huge fan of the horror genre, I adore Robert Englund’s performance as Freddy Krueger and have been looking forward to the remake of Wes Craven’s Nightmare on Elm Street since I watched all the original movies back to back for my Halloween Special. The HeyUGuys coverage to the release of this remake has hinted at quite a reasonable [...]
It was a sublime and simple premise, perfect for gangs of kids growing up in the 80s. Treehouses, amulets, clues and mysteries, all revolving around the titular Monster Squad and their fight against the very real Hollywood Monsters they idolise. As a kid in the 80s this was a seminal film, crossing the streams of [...]
Recently HeyUGuys went Freddy Krazy (including Gary meeting the man behind the mask), so it’s fitting that we get to see a few pictures of the Platinum Dunes Remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street. As you can see from the pictures below director Samuel Bayer has kept the iconic elements of the Wes Craven [...]
