The 2006 Horror Checklist

BloodRayne - If you don't see it, you can't join in all the Boll-bashing fun. Well, you can, but you'll be faking it. Kristanna Loken, Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen, Michelle Rodriguez, Udo Kier, Will Sanderson, Michael Pare, and Billy Zane. (Jan. 6th)

Hostel - From the lunatic freak whose debut was Cabin Fever comes this tale of international backpacking, loyalty among friends, and sheer, shrieking torture. This one's for the grown-up horror whores. Jay Hernandez, Derek Richardson, and several amazingly hot topless females. (Jan. 6th)

Underworld: Evolution - That vampire chick in the skin-tight leather is back and ... beyond that, what else really matters? Kate Beckinsale kills more werewolves in this action/horror/soap opera sequel. (Jan. 20th)

When a Stranger Calls - "Why don't you check on the remake?" Camilla Belle plays the harrassed babysitter once played by Carol Kane. (Feb. 3rd)

Final Destination 3 - First it was an airplane crash. Then it was a highway wreck. This time it's a runaway roller coaster. Neato. (Feb. 10th)

Night Watch - The oft-delayed Russian horror flick has a sequel already waiting in the wings. Here's hoping Fox Searchlight doesn't disembowel the thing too much. (Feb. 17th)

Feast - Also known as the "Project Greenlight Horror Movie," this one stars a whole bunch of kooky folks as they do battle with slimy beasties from inside their favorite watering hole. Already the recipient of the Childress Seal of Approval. (Release date TBD)

Pulse - Beware the evil emails in this J-horror remake. Kristen Bell, Ian
Somerhalder, Samm Levine, and (I bet) a PG-13 rating. (March 3rd)

The Hills Have Eyes - The Frenchman behind the rather awesome High Tension brings us a remake of Wes Craven's classic survival tale. Kathleen Quinlan, Ted Levine, Aaron Stanford, Vinessa Shaw, and Emilie de Raven. (March 10th)

Slither - The writer of the Dawn of the Dead remake goes old-school splatter with this tale of alien invaders, frequent dispatches, and hilariously outrageous human mutations. Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, Gregg Henry, and Michael Rooker. (March 31st)

Silent Hill - Yes, it's yet another horror flick based on a video game. But there's some pretty good news, too: The writer is Roger Avary, the director is Christophe Gans, and the cast includes Sean Bean, Radha Mitchell, Kim Coates, and Deborah Kara Unger. (April 21st)

See No Evil - A group of delinquents clean a hotel to fill their community service.
Unfortunatly for them they are not aware a maniac is also in the hotel. He locks them in and begins to hunt them down." Sounds good to me. (May 19th)

The Omen 666 - Somebody gave the director of two so-so war movies the gig directing an Omen remake.
Hmph, Not sure how I feel about this one. Julia Stiles, Liev Schreiber, Mia Farrow, David Thewlis, and Pete Posthlewaite. (June 6th, 2006. Get it?)
Snakes on a Plane - It's already an internet senation, and it doesn't even hit theaters for another 6 months. The synopsis is all there in the title. Samuel L. Jackson stars. (Aug. 18th)

DOA: Dead or Alive - Four hotties must participate in a series of death-brawls if they hope to escape from a decidedly unpleasant island. Directed by Corey Yuen and starring Eric Roberts, Devon Aoki, Sarah Carter, Holly Valance, and Jaime Pressly. (Aug. 25th)

Grindhouse - Tarantino & Rodriguez get together on an old-school horror 2-parter. (Sep. 22nd)

Texas Chainsaw Massacre Prequel - As yet untitled, but starring Jordana Brewster, Andrew Bryniarski, and R. Lee Ermey (Oct. 6th)

The Grudge 2 - Buffy's back. Kinda. (Oct. 20th)

Saw 3 - Like this is a shock to you? (Oct. 27th)
