I’ve been reviewing horror movies for About.com for over four years now, and never have I wanted to give a film zero stars…until The Summer of Massacre. Unfortunately, the system is such that if I give it zero stars, the review will look like there’s no rating rather than a zero rating, so I’ve given it half a star. That’s half a star more than it deserves.

Here’s a first look at trailers for two small but promising fright flicks arriving for the spring:

  • Silent House: Elizabeth “I’m Mot a Twin But My Sisters Are” Olsen stars in this remake of last year’s spooky house flick The Silent House (La Casa Muda), supposedly filmed, like the original, in a single, uncut shot.
  • ATM: Rising star Alice Eve (soon starring in The Raven) heads this thriller from the writer of Buried, featuring the similarly claustrophobic concept of a trio of co-workers trapped in an enclosed ATM kiosk as a shadowy killer lurks outside.

What better day to release a movie about the end of the world than on a Friday the 13th in the year 2012?

    Gurozuka is a 2005 Japanese slasher that could loosely be described as Scream meets The Ring, but that would be implying a level of quality this movie can’t even approach. If it was really that good, after all, it wouldn’t have taken seven years to hit DVD in the US (which it does this week). Read about it in my review of Gurozuka.
