Playing like an R-rated 90-minute episode of The Twilight Zone, Triangle is one of those direct-to-video movies that lacks the budget and star power to become a major theatrical release but still manages to outperform most of the big-budget competition. Read about it in my review of Triangle.

Red Riding is a unique release: an acclaimed trilogy of movies filmed for British television that are good enough (with directors of renowned works like Man on Wire, Becoming Jane and Hilary and Jackie) to receive a limited run in US theaters. The intertwining stories all take place in Yorkshire, England against the backdrop of crime, corruption and a serial killer preying on children. Each takes place in a different year (1974, 1980 and 1983), but like fellow thriller Zodiac, they all use a real-life homicidal spree as a focal point. The trilogy opens in New York on February 5 as a marathon back-to-back-to-back event before the films screen separately in New York and Los Angeles starting February 12. They then expand nationwide on February 19. Until then, check out the trailer and some photos.

British writer/director Christopher Smith has made a name for himself in the horror realm with his first two feature films, Creep and Severance.

Until then, check out the trailer and some photos from the film.

I haven’t seen all of this coming weekend’s “8 Films to Die For” (I’m only one man, for goodness’ sake), but I have seen half of them, and if they’re any indication, this could be the best After Dark Horrorfest yet — thanks in part to its willingness to tap the steady stream of quality foreign horror movies like Australia’s Lake Mungo, which is destined to become one of my top films of 2010. Check out my reviews of four of the films in After Dark Horrorfest 4.

Although I’m looking forward to Season 3 of True Blood, I’ve wondered how the show can find a villain to top the deliciously wicked Maryann, and Entertainment Weekly has the answer: it can’t. That is, the upcoming season (starting in June) will feature not one, but three villains:
- Franklin Mott (played by James Frain): A vampire who begins a torrid affair with Tara but turns out to be dangerously overprotective.
- Russell Edgington (played by Denis O’Hare): The gay vampire king of Mississippi, a Southern gentleman with a dark side.
