The film's promotional trailer for Altitude that premiered online before production even began can now be replaced by an actual teaser for the flick, which you can watch below. Thanks to STYD.

Lost in a mysterious cloudbank, a rookie pilot and her four teenage friends must contend with a freak mechanical failure that first sends their small plane climbing to an impossible height, and then plummeting through endless mist. After regaining control, the survivors are confronted with a horrifying realization - the very ground beneath them has vanished and a malevolent force lurking in the clouds wants them dead.

The rumored Fright Night remake is finally moving forward with a writer now on board -- Mad Men writer/producer Marti Noxon has been hired to pen the script, which is said to keep the comedy-horror tone of the original, while modernizing the effects.

Marti is no stranger to the genre, especially that of the vamp variety, as she served as writer/producer on several episodes of the classic Buffy the Vampire series.

The original told the story of a teenage genre fan, who suspects his neighbor is a vampire, so he enlists the help of his friends and a television host/vampire slayer to discover the truth and put a stop to the bloodsucker and his minions.

Writer Kevin Williamson spoke to PopWrap where he revealed more details on what fans can expect from the next installment in the popular slasher franchise.

On potential rumors that returning chracters such as Sidney Prescott (Neve Campbell) would finally get killed, he was quoted saying ”the thing about 'Scream 4' is that there are a lot of twists and turns, so I can't promise anything." Considering that we're already told that we'd be following a new group of characters through the next three sequels, it wouldn't come as a surprise if Sidney did die in the film.

Man, are people going to fucking HATE this movie.  Not just simple dislike and forget about it.  This is the movie that will make uber nerds run home to the IMDB message boards as soon as they leave the theater just to spazz out on how unbelievably atrocious it is.  And I get the feeling that Director Richard Kelly doesn’t care either. The Box is meant for mainstream audiences as much as the Twilight movies are made for gore loving horror hounds.  But if you’re looking for an edge of your seat mind fuck of a thriller that slowly boils and challenges the mind, then The Box is by far one of the best movies this year.

House of the Devil is a film that I really wanted to like -- writer/director Ti West successfully captured an 80's look and 70's feel for the flick, but that's sadly pretty much all the movie really has to offer. It's essentially a movie that's all atmosphere and nothing else. The story is quite simple and reminiscent of another recent indie effort called Babysitter Wanted, which I actually enjoyed quite a bit.

We follow the desperate college sophomore, Samantha, as she decides to phone about a babysitting gig from an ad she saw around campus. In need of the money, she accepts the job, despite it being in the middle of nowhere (naturally). Thinking it would be a simple task, she gets her friend Megan (Greta Gerwig) to drive her to the isolated home.

Orphan is a film that I wasn't particularly interested in at first. The whole theme of the film has been done several times in the past and this particular premise seemed entirely too similar to 1993's The Good Son starring Macaulay Culkin and Elijah Wood. It wasn't until the movie actually started getting positive reviews that I became interested. Sadly around this time the film's clever ending was spoiled to me, so I wasn't able to enjoy the climax as much as I wanted. Either way, I still enjoyed the flick enough to pick it up on blu-ray when it was released. [read more]
