Everyone remembers when New Zealand’s Peter Jackson came barreling onto the scene and in quick order brought us Bad Taste (1987), Meet the Feebles (1989), and Braindead (1992) before eventually settling down into Academy Award-winning fantasy films. (I forget their names. Just Google them.) But he wasn’t the first to introduce the world to his country’s nascent splattery talent: that honor goes to Death Warmed Up (1984), a loopy mash-up of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Hills Have Eye, Mad Max, and Looney Tunes, all spit-shined to grimy perfection in a great new Blu-ray from Severin Films.
Remastered by director David Blyth (Red Blooded American Girl) from the only existing materials, this new disc of Death Warmed Up has a ton of gooey goodies that we’ll get to, but first let’s tackle the story:

Director: David Blyth. Review: Adam Wing. With a CV that includes Red-Blooded American Girl and Death Warmed Up, not to mention TV work like White Fang and Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, it’s fair to say that director David Blyth’s career has been anything but ordinary. That statement isn’t going to change anytime soon if his latest psychosexual horror movie is anything to go by. With a taste for the kind of absurd imagery Takashi Miike would be proud of - a birthing scene in particular echoes one of his most celebrated images - David Blyth is about to take you on one hell of a joyride. Maybe we should start by getting our heads around the plot. Susan (Kate O’Rourke) has a history of horrific abuse, which refuses to loosen its grip on her. Tanya (Te Kaea Beri) is a lost girl searching for the mother she never knew,...

Because mother’s coming home to roost and her maternal instincts involve extreme torture and a taste for terror.

It's not often a trailer drops and makes us speechless. However, the trailer for the new film Wound certainly hits the mark. After all, it's not often that a trailer includes female face masks, throat slitting, Bdsm and pig masks (all with a trippy soundtrack).
New Zealand filmmaker David Blyth (Angel Mine, Death Warmed Up) returns to form with his new "psycho-sexual horror film" Wound, opening theatrically in Toronto on August 12th. Blyth promises to combine his favorite themes of mental illness, depraved violence and sexual deviancy all into Wound.
If you doubt us, just check out the trailer.

“A two-headed doll! Iron-phallused pig-man stealth! Birthing your own twin! The nightclub of dream-wandering! If your family of origin doesn’t kill you, you may just make it. You will love Kate O’Rourke as she encounters her delirious, incestuous monsters of the id in this romantically...

Lil Wayne was a hot topic for conversation on and off of Twitter today now that he's out of lock-up. Donald Glover hopes someone was able to get a picture, while Marlon Wayans sounded skeptical, and David Faustino expects big things for Weezy tonight at his post-prison release party.
Halloween costume pictures have still be showing up as well, and you can find Billy Burke and Jason Mewes sharing what they wore after the jump. They're there along with Stephen Colbert's thoughts on Prop 19 failing in California, Elizabeth Banks with a face from "Lost" and the shooting location where you might have seen Emmy Rossum working today.
I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is Twitter-Wood for November 4, 2010.

This years FrightFest seems a more somber affair than last year, possibly due to the A Serbian Film and I Spit On Your Grave controversies, or possibly due to a rather lacklustre start to the proceedings – on my travels around the festival I’ve spoken to many that have said there’s just something missing so far… Yet no-one can put their finger on what exactly.
Day One
It’s not like FrightFest didn’t get off to a fantastic start – Adam Green’s Hatchet II opened the festival on Thursday night to whoops of applause, laughter and plenty of “ewwww”. Green took to the stage before the screening, giving a hearfelt speech as to why he does what he does, then he returned to the stage post-screening with Kane Hodder, Tony Todd and Danielle Harris – who, next to the huge behemoths that are Hodder and Todd, looked positively tiny.

Yesterday saw the official announcement of the line-up for the London Film4 FrightFest 2010 and whilst the FrightFest gang had already announced Hatchet II, The Last Exorcism, Eggshells, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and we exclusively revealed the appearance of Burning Bright, and Red White & Blue at this years festival, there was still some surprises amongst the bunch.
So after reading up on each movie that is due to play the festival I thought it would be a good idea to breakdown just which movies I’m looking forward to seeing, and which ones I’m not… As always let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Highlights:
The real highlights for me this year include Simon Rumley’s Red White & Blue, the infamous A Serbian Film – which should test the FrightFest audiences metal! Of course I’m looking forward to Hatchet II – since when has Adam Green ever let FrightFest down?...

Wound Movie PosterDirector David Blyth (Death Warmed Up) is a New Zealand based horror director who is no stranger to controversy. His film Angel Mine challenged censorship standards and his feature Death Warmed Up incorporated themes of matricide and patricide. Now, after a six year pause, Blyth returns with another shocking film piece entitled Wound.
This latest film takes some material from Greek myth and modernizes the work for a new audience. The film tackles abuse and abandonment issues as character Susan (Kate O'Rourke) confronts some family problems in a very disturbing manner. A second photo for the film is available below, but here is a warning before you proceed; the still below is graphic, gorey and not safe for work. Have a look at all the available material on Wound, here, before these elements of Greek tragedy make an appearance on the big screen at Frightfest August 29th.

During the last edition of the Fantasia Film Festival, New Zealand filmmaker David Blyth was in Montreal to host a special presentation of his documentaries on fetishism. While in town, the director behind cult favorites Death Warmed Up ! and Red Blooded American Girl was nice enough to give me a copy of Angel Mine, his first feature film, a strange and unique love story he produced at the tender age of 22 years old. ...

I’m baaaack. Not since four years ago, the first time we started the Fantasia blog has anyone had to do the coverage solo, so props to McCannibal for keeping the train rolling last week. It’s a tough job fitting in two, three, and sometimes four films a day, choking down a grease laden meal, drinking the skuzzy yeasty swill that is all you can get after leeching a beer ticket or two off of Mitch, and heading home at midnight to start writing. That said, I couldn’t wait to hit the festival after arriving back in Montreal on Friday. We say it every year, but if you’ve never been to Fantasia, what the hell are you waiting for? There’s still ten days left so get your ass out here!

Remember the 1985 flick Death Warmed Up? About a kid who was hypnotized to kill his parents, then grew up to take revenge on the scientists who ruined his life? Some may have wondered what happened to Death director David Blyth after that film, and if you’re one of ‘em, we have good news: He’s coming to this year’s Fantasia so you can ask him yourself!
When the official Fantasia 2008 schedule goes live tomorrow, on it you will see two films from Blyth as part of Fantasia’s Documentaries From the Edge series: Transfigured Nights (about webcam mask performance(?)) and Bound for Pleasure (focusing on New Zealand’s suburban B&D scene). As the titles should tip you off, the docs focus on the strange yet fascinating world of fetishism, and Fantasia’s newest programmer, Simon Laperriere, brought both to Montreal for their North American premiere.
