Horror film revival…

IMO, horror movies have been hurtin’ pretty bad for the last…decade maybe? Anyways, I did catch a really good slasher that showcased a short while back at Tribeca called “Hatchet”. Was pretty skeptical with their opening line, something like “first Jason, then Freddy, now Victor Crowley”, but it was actually pretty damn good. Lots and lots of blood, and just as important -- the hottest girl doing horror flicks today, Mercedes McNab. Formerly of Buffy and Angel fame, this amazingly hot Canadian is worth the ticket price (even if mine was free!) Her film is also showing at next week’s ScreamFest in LA, but there’s a closer solution for the rest of the country called Playboy magazine, which she owns the cover of this month (fyi, totally worth running, not walking, to pick-up).

Some friends and I were discussing this the other day, and our thought (4/5) is that she’s quickly becoming the next scream queen…way hotter than Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Anyways, we decided to put this question out there:

Who do you think is the next Scream Queen?

So "Hatchet" was a good movie? When I was watching ETalk (unfotunatly) they had an interview with Mercedes McNab about her apperance in Playboy and threw in a quick word about Hatchet. It's something that I really want to see.

Anyways, I don't know who will be the next Scream Queen. I also can't say when the horror genre will get out of this re-make/video game to movie rut. It is really sad.

 

Yea its supposed to be really good, butjpenns definatly sounds like hes trying to sell it...

 

"she’s quickly becoming the next scream queen…way hotter than Neve Campbell and Jennifer Love Hewitt."

You shoot yourself in the foot right there, you cannot truly be a horror fan.
