Happy early new year! We’ve got trailers for two of the first major horror movies of 2013: Texas Chainsaw 3D (January 4) and Mama (January 18). Although the former will no doubt get the bulk of the publicity — and indeed, the trailer looks promising (though I still have trouble getting past the fact that Leatherface should be a senior citizen by now) — it’s the latter’s ghostly trailer that oozes with the potential of being bone-chillingly terrifying. Guillermo del Toro’s involvement as producer can’t hurt its odds.

The titles of the movies in the Resident Evil series rarely seem to have anything to do with their actual plots, but in the case of Resident Evil: Retribution, I suspect it embodies vengeance against anyone who enjoys good filmmaking, a well-thought out script or acting above the level of a middle school play. Read about it in my review of Resident Evil: Retribution.

It looks like we’ll have to wait a week longer for Sinister, one of the most buzzed-about horror movies of the fall, because Summit has bumped its release back from October 5 to October 12. But to tide you over, here’s some new photos and a new poster for the movie, which stars Ethan Hawke as an author who moves his family into a home that was the site of a mass murder. Gee, thanks Dad!
