Daybreakers is the best horror movie of the year so far. Granted, it’s the only horror movie of the year so far, but that doesn’t mean it’s not good — great even. Read about why you should check it out in my review of Daybreakers.

An American remake of the Spanish ghost story The Orphanage, originally slated to be helmed by Larry Fessenden, has now been handed over to director Mark Pellington, whose work includes the solid thrillers Arlington Road and The Mothman Prophecies. Guillermo del Toro is still attached as producer and has already co-written the script with Fessenden. No word yet on a release date, but with a director named, the ball seems to be rolling, and it could reasonably hit screens in 2011.

Two lesser-known, yet high-end, video releases make their TV debuts this week: the Spanish film Fermat’s Room (basically a cerebral Saw, in which people have to solve mathematical problems to escape deadly traps) premieres at 8:20 AM ET/PT on Sunday, January 3, on the Sundance Channel, and The Chaos Experiment, in which Val Kilmer stars as an unbalanced scientist who threatens to kill hostages if his hypothesis about global warming isn’t printed, airs on on Monday, January 4, at 9:00 PM ET/PT on Showtime 3.

Rumors of a third Ghostbusters movie have been floating around for years, but now it appears as close to becoming a reality as ever. That’s because co-writer and co-star Harold Ramis recently divulged plans to shoot the film in the summer of 2010 and release it in 2011 — at least a year earlier than previous estimates. He adds that, given the 25 year span from the first movie, the film will feature “some new young Ghostbusters” in addition to the old guard (Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson).

It’s quality, not quantity this week, with only a few new DVD releases that nonetheless include major films Paranormal Activity, Jennifer’s Body and A Perfect Getaway, plus the “should’ve been a major release” Carriers.
(Note: some sites have claimed for months that the long-delayed Renee Zellweger vehicle Case 39 is opening on Friday, but I have yet to find any evidence of it showing at any US theaters this week.)
New This Week: Paranormal Activity, Jennifer’s Body, A Perfect Getaway originally appeared on About.com Horror & Suspense on Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 at 01:54:09.
