Great news! No sooner do I speculate on the release date of the sequel to The Last Exorcism — I figured August was a good guess — than word comes that the film will actually hit theaters much earlier, on March 1, 2013. Also newsworthy: the film appears to be titled The Last Exorcism Part II — not the awful Last Exorcism II: The Beginning of the End that it seems will be the title in Europe — and the US distributor will be CBS Films.

There’s less than two months to go until Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D gets all up in your face (it’s 3D, after all), so prepare yourself with a few new photos and yet another poster — the fourth one to date. Let’s hope the movie itself isn’t quite so indecisive.

Anytime I hear someone complain that there aren’t any good horror movies being released anymore, I tell them, “You’re not looking hard enough.” Indeed, most of the best horror flicks released every year don’t play at your local multiplex. They’re shown in a handful of arthouse and independent theaters, they air via video-on-demand services, or they go directly to DVD/Blu-ray. Case in point: Citadel, a little Irish film that won the Midnighter Audience Award at the 2012 SXSW Film Festival and packs more punch than most major Hollywood horror releases. Read about it in my review of Citadel, and catch it in theaters this week (You’ll have to wait until January 29 for it to hit home video.).

2012 was a slow year for theatrically released zombie movies, but 2013 seems like it might fix that within the first half of the year, with Warm Bodies (February 1) and World War Z (June 21) each scheduled for wide release. Now, we’ve got our first look at the trailers for both films, and they couldn’t appear farther apart on the zombie spectrum. While the Warm Bodies trailer has a romantic comedy vibe, the World War Z trailer screams big blockbuster action.
