With roots in real-life murders, “The Hook” urban legend goes hand-in-hand — or should I say hand-in-hook? — with the slasher genre. After being referenced in ’80s slashers He Knows You’re Alone and Final Exam, it went on to at least partially inspire five slashers from the ’90s: Candyman, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Urban Legend, Campfire Tales, and Lovers Lane. Unfortunately, the latter is the least effective of the bunch.

To be fair, Lovers Lane was made independently for $500,000 — a fraction of the budget of the studio films — before being released direct to video in 1999. Directed by Jon Steven Ward and written by Geof Miller (DeepStar Six) and Rory Veal, the film is best remembered for being the film debut of Anna Faris, one year prior to her starring turn in Scary Movie. It was on this set that she met co-star Ben Indra, to whom she was...

The Valentine’s Day slasher Lovers Lane (watch it Here) isn’t a very popular movie, but that isn’t stopping the folks at Arrow Video from giving it a special edition Blu-ray release… although they’re doing a couple months after Valentine’s Day, so genre fans won’t be able to add it to their collections in time for the holiday this year. The street date for this Blu-ray release is April 25th.

Copies are available for pre-order on the Arrow Video website, and fans can choose from the standard edition and the limited edition, which comes with an exclusive slipcover.

Directed by Jon Ward from a screenplay written by Geof Miller and Rory Veal, Lovers Lane has the following synopsis: Passions are aroused and old wounds reopened in this sassy post-Scream teen slasher based on the urban legend of “The Hook”. A steamy secret tryst that was...

One of very few Valentine’s Day-themed horror movies, 1999 slasher Lovers Lane is back in the conversation this week, with Arrow Video announcing a brand new Blu-ray release.

Lovers Lane comes to Blu-ray on April 25, 2023.

There will be a Standard Version and an Arrow Exclusive Slipcover Limited Edition.

Arrow Video previews, “Passions are aroused and old wounds reopened in this sassy post-Scream teen slasher based on the urban legend of The Hook.”

Special Features include:

Brand new 2K restoration from a 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentation Two versions of the film: the widescreen 1.85:1 version and the full-frame 1.33:1 version Original lossless stereo audio on both versions Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing Brand new audio commentary with writer-producers Geof Miller and Rory Veal Screaming Teens: The Legacy of Lovers Lane featurette with Geof Miller and Rory Veal and actors...

It may seem, given my past reviews of found footage movies, that all I do is spew bile and vitriol when it comes to a lot of these particular movies but that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to still give the genre a a fair shake. Good job too, otherwise I would have missed out on a great example of it in The Den.

The idea of using the internet (and webcams) is nothing new in horror, it’s cropped up in dozens of movies, some good, a lot bad. With the advent of webcams, CCTV and “always-connected” devices, any good horror movie villain would – given that using the net is his or her modus operandi – have almost total control over their victims lives.

The line-up for this year's Film4 FrightFest in London has just been announced – and boy, is it a doozy! Sporting a record-breaking 38 UK/European premieres and 11 world premieres, this August is going to be an exciting time in the genre calendar.

Check it all out right here, including lots of new images!

This year Film4 FrightFest will be moving from its previous home at Leicester Square's Empire Cinema to the nearby Vue Cinema (also on Leicester Square), prompting an ingenious reshuffle of the screening arrangements.

All main screen films will be presented at different times across three different screens, with two extra screens reserved for single-slot screenings of the various films hitting this year's Discovery Screens.

Here's the full list of goodies:

Tagline: "He wants to watch you." Director: Zachary Donohue. Writers: Zachary Donohue and Lauren Thompson. Cast: Melanie Papalia, David Schlachtenhaufen, Matt Riedy and Adam Shapiro. The Den is a film from first time director and scriptwriter Zachary Donohue. This title was released through IFC Midnight's online platform in mid-March.

Elizabeth loses control of a research project. And, Donohue films all of her failures through an interesting collection of mediums. Shot with an innovative style, The Den is one of the best found footage films to come by way of Los Angeles in awhile. The story is a character study of Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a bright, young woman with a brilliant future. However, her choice of study is a poor one. You see, there...

Be careful on who you meet on the Internet.

“The Den” is a thriller horror movie about a young college student studying social networking on random video chat rooms similar to Chatroulette. And then unexpectedly, she witnesses a murder in one of the chat sessions as strange events follow the incident.

The film The Den (review) brings a whole new, and much-needed, twist to the found-footage sub-genre of horror. Recently director and co-writer Zachary Donohue sat down with Dread Central to talk about his film.

For starters, Donohue discussed what he hoped to convey to the audience with The Den. "This is unlike any found footage movie you've ever seen," he said. "We wanted to create a movie that felt like you were on your own computer screen."

He added, "We wanted to convey this voyeuristic sense that maybe you shouldn't be watching this movie because you're privy to this character's emails, her chats. We really just wanted to tap into that idea of voyeurism."

But more than just peeping in on someone's life, Donohue also wanted The Den to portray the internet as it actually exists. "We wanted to create a funhouse," he said. "This is a movie about the internet,...

After a season of extreme highs and lows, Alan Ball gave us a decent finale that mostly straddled middle ground. Written by the man himself, Evil is Going On didn't leave us with the dramatic cliffhanger of last season (Bill's proposal and kidnapping), but it was a fairly even-tempered hour that tended more toward the highs than the lows. I do wish we'd been left hanging a little more desperately, but at the same time, I felt our appetites were whetted enough that we'll at least come back to see where Season 4 is headed. Witches are certainly as intriguing as vampires and definitely more interesting than the mostly lackluster werewolves and shape-shifters we've seen. As for fairies, I think we're still up in the air, but one of the highlights of the hour was seeing angry Sookie set her temper flying free. After a lot of misplaced trust and foolish decisions,...
