Those Foreigners Are On Fire: 10 Amazing Norwegian Horror Films
3 hours ago
There’s no need to make an implication that American filmmakers are failures. That’s not true. Wes Craven, John Carpenter, James Wan, Darren Lynn Bousman, Ti West, and Adam Green are just a few of today’s genre specific visionaries, and they’re delivering the goods.
That said, foreign filmmakers seem to be on an entirely different page.
Perhaps foreign directors simply ignore American productions. That could potentially be a logical line of thought. Think for yourself, don’t follow in already established practice. Perhaps these guys just work with their own vision, refusing to allow any studio to impose. Or, perhaps, these guys around the world, who don’t necessarily leap into horror binges, are capable of manufacturing entirely new ideas.
I’m not certain of the recipe, but I know it works. It works especially well with Norwegian filmmakers, who constantly release pics so far superior to »

Marilyn Manson to Sing Songs of Salem
8 hours ago
I've gotta say I'm pretty impressed with Wgn America's "Salem." It pushes the envelope way farther than I thought it would for network TV with all sorts of weird and ghastly imagery. That being said... It's about to get some music to go with it!
As per THR, Wgn America's "Salem" has released its opening titles ahead of the second episode, and the sequence sets a suitably dark tone for the series -- thanks in large part to vocals provided by Marilyn Manson.
The singer, who's no stranger to the macabre, makes his TV scoring debut with series composer Tyler Bates on the song "Cupid Carries a Gun." The 50-second titles for the Fox 21-produced period drama make their debut during the April 27 episode.
