Plumbing the Depths of Horror

Dr. Josef Heiter, portrayed by Dieter Laser

Released in 2009, “The Human Centipede” isn’t your run-of-the-mill horror flick. It dives headfirst into an abyss of depravity and cruelty, conjuring a grotesque nightmare. The twisted narrative revolves around Dr. Josef Heiter, portrayed by Dieter Laser, a mad scientist who becomes consumed by a horrific experiment. He kidnaps three innocent victims,...

"You don't recognize me, do you? Even though we've met a thousand times..." Breaking Glass Pictures has revealed a new trailer for a strange time travel sci-fi thriller titled Variant, which is written & directed by a filmmaker named Tony Leech (he also co-directed 2005's Hoodwinked). This hasn't been seen many places yet and doesn't look like it's really anything worth talking about, another of these junk indie sci-fi films that will be instantly forgotten upon release. Huh. When an artist struggling for purpose meets a mysterious yet charming stranger, she becomes entangled in his twisted attempts to "relive the perfect moment". It's hard to tell from this trailer - is he an android? Does he have a time machine? Are they in a simulation? Wtf is going on in this. Ashlynn Yennie stars with Dino Antoniou, Sonalii Castillo, Josh Zuckerman, and Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz. This really looks like one big mess.

When Tom Six's horror freakout "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)" was released in 2009, it was met with much disgust and ballyhoo. The poster boasted that the film was "100 medically accurate," something that no movie poster should ever boast. 

The premise was wild and gross and repelled prudes while attracting seekers of the extreme. A mad scientist named Dr. Josef Heiter (Dieter Laser) -- clearly inspired by Josef Mengele -- kidnaps three hapless tourists and announces his dark plan while they are strapped to gurneys in his basement. Dr. Heiter intends to surgically connect the three people via their alimentary canals. He will connect one person's face to the previous person's anus, and remove tendons in their knees, forcing them to crawl. In so doing, he will create a human centipede. There is no stated reason for his experiment. 

Audiences who saw "The Human Centipede" were appropriately grossed out. The...

Universal Studios’ “Halloween Horror Nights” To Debut All-new Mazes Inspired By Netflix’S “The Haunting Of Hill House”: "For the first time ever, Netflix’s critically-acclaimed series “The Haunting of Hill House” will bring its ominous presence to Universal Orlando Resort and Universal Studios Hollywood in all-new mazes for “Halloween Horror Nights 2021,” which is officially back beginning in September.

Upon its release, Netflix’s “The Haunting of Hill House” became a worldwide phenomenon of unsettling proportions that elevated the horror television genre. Created, directed and executive-produced by horror mastermind Mike Flanagan and executive produced by Trevor Macy via their Intrepid Pictures, the chilling horror story follows members of the Crain family who are haunted by long-dormant fears stemming from their time living in the menacing Hill House as children and then forced to face the ghosts of its grisly past.

Ashlynn Yennie was born in the small town of Riverton, Wyoming. She studied acting at the New York Conservatory of Dramatic Arts. Her first feature film credit was when she was cast as Jenny in the cult horror film The Human Centipede. She subsequently appeared in the first sequel to that notorious film and has kept busy, acting not just in horror films, but showing wide range in a diverse variety of TV and film roles. Her newest film is the thriller Antodote, in which she plays Sharyn, a young woman held captive in an underground medical facility where selected individuals are perpetually mutilated and then healed using a secret Antidote.

Ashlynn Yennie took the time to talk to We Are Movie Geeks about her career, Antidote, and what it was like attending the premiere of The Human Centipede II with her Grandmother.

There may not have been anybody on the planet asking for them, but the twisted minds at Unnecessary Inventions have designed a gummy candy inspired by the gross-out horror flick The Human Centipede. Although the taste is likely to be very pleasantly sugary and sweet, the design of the gummies is not quite so appealing. Bearing a resemblance to the vision of the mad scientist's creation in the movie, each gummy features three people attached together in a particularly crude way which is bound to spoil your appetite.

In The Human Centipede, Dieter Laser stars as mad scientist Dr. Josef Heiter. The story follows him kidnapping three tourists with the intention of developing a "human centipede" by stitching one victim's mouth to the anus of another. Ashley C. Williams, Ashlynn Yennie, and Akihiro Kitamura also starred as the lucky ones to be a part of this apparent "pet project." Heiter's plan is ultimately successful,...

In 2009, the horror genre was in one of its many frequent transitions. The Saw franchise was wrapping up, Hostel Part 2 landed with a redundancy, and Paranormal Activity had taken the country by storm thus cementing the evolution from "torture porn," to the bloodless Blumhouse fare that is still being released monthly to this day. The 'gore hound' faction of the horror audience was settling back into the comfortable "been there done that" zone. It seemed as though the only way we would be able to spend our Friday nights looking at blood splatter on a wall was with casual reboots of franchises long past their prime such as...

You have to respect the workmanlike filmmakers who keep working in our beloved horror department. Say what you will -- be it kind of critical -- of the films of Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson. but there's always something to be said for indie-friendly horror freaks who simply keep churning out the movies. (Their better efforts include Autopsy (2008) and their early and underrated remake of The Toolbox Murders from 2004, although Mortuary, Night of the Demons, and Fertile Ground have their fans as well.)

And hey, the latest collaboration between Gierasch (director) and Anderson (co-writer) is a solid little combo of good ol' occult-based horror nastiness and an appreciable dose of downbeat film noir moodiness. While it has a few solid moments of straight scares and impressive gore, Fractured works best as a low-key character piece that feels like a respectful homage to The Outer Limits or Alan Parker's Angel Heart.

You’ve got to love the fact that the press junket for Adam Gierasch’s latest extreme horror film was held in a bar – in the middle of the day. (Not only was press allowed to imbibe, the open tab certainly was encouraging of vice.)

As the jukebox played and the fermented juices flowed, I sat down with Gierasch and company to ask a few questions about Fractured (formerly, Schism).

The movie’s main male stars – Callum Blue and Vinnie Jones – were not able to attend the event, but that’s okay... we had the lovely and talented actresses, Nicole Laliberte and Ashlynn Yennie, to chat up.

Laliberte plays wild sex kitten Marlena, while Yennie takes on the tamer (though no less-clothed) character of Brandy. It’s interesting to think that maybe the roles would have been reversed. “I got the script and there were two female characters. One was...

Fractured, formerly known as Schism, isn’t really a horror movie. It has a bit of an identity crisis, much like its lead character. Other traits it shares with its lead: It has problems with women, isn’t very captivating, and fails to make much of an impression. Filmmakers Adam Gierasch (co-writer/director) and Jace Anderson (co-writer/producer) have made far better features than this, including the 2009 Night of the Demons remake. Sadly, based on their latest effort they are not progressing. Fractured is shaky and jagged and feels like something from a first-time filmmaker. Callum Blue stars as Dylan, only that’s not his real name. Since waking up from a coma of more than 2 years, he has no memory. He leads a quiet, boring life and is a cook at a restaurant in New Orleans. He sleeps with Brandy (Ashlynn Yennie) from time to time, who notes that...

Don't be deceived by the cover art for Fractured and its "Vinnie Jones is out to get everyone in an effort to rescue a family member" nature. The film, out today from Seven Arts Entertainment, is actually quite Shock-worthy in the sense that it's a Jacob's Ladder/Angel Heart-esque, grisly journey into darkness. It's the latest film from director Adam Gierasch (working from a script he penned with Jace Anderson) and it stars Vinnie Jones, Callum Blue, Ashlynn Yennie and Nicole Laliberte.

First Clip from Alice D: “In the late 1890s the Davenport House was a famous and successful brothel, until a young prostitute named Alice killed herself there. After her death, the brothel became haunted by Alice’s ghost, and was eventually abandoned.

More than a century later, the old structure is renovated into a beautiful mansion. It is still rumored to inhabit the ghost of Alice. Despite this, the new owner; the rich and arrogant heir to the Davenport fortune, decides to throw a wild party for his first night in the house.

We recently told you about the upcoming directorial debut of Martin Owen, which has been described as "a biting social satire of reality television." Titled L.A.

I think it's safe to say that most of you reading this right now are probably sick and tired of reality TV, and the way that it has turned nobodies into somebodies, and L.A. Slasher is tailor made for those who are, serving as a bloody indictment of our obsession with pseudo celebrities.

Based on the graphic novel by Dan Shaffer (Doghouse), The Scribbler is the latest “comic book movie” to grace our screen, telling the story of Suki, a lonely woman dealing multiple-personality disorder, who moves into a halfway house for recently released mental patients. But her arrival coincides with the deaths of other residents, residents who are dying at an alarming rate.

But each time she uses the machine she black out and the machine changes, doing something new, something that turns her world inside out.
