October's Theatrical Horror Offerings

October 4

Gravity

Director: Alfonso Cuarón
Cast: Sandra Bullock, George Clooney, Ed Harris
The Skinny: Alfonso Cuarón is back in the SciFi game with what could be a legitimate Oscar contender; especially considering the two heavyweight stars in Bullock and Clooney. Playing on the fear of infinite darkness that space provides, "Gravity" is sure to thrill and terrify audiences with its disaster movie simplicity.

October 11

Machete Kills

Director: Robert Rodriguez
Cast: Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, Mel Gibson, Jessica Alba
The Skinny: Back to business for Rob Rodriguez and Danny Trejo, "Machete Kills" reunites a cult fan-base with its favorite Latino antihero. Sure to be full of gore, sex, and sleaze it's also the perfect return vehicle for Mel Gibson before his bad guy renaissance continues in "Expendables 3" next year.

October 18

Carrie

Director: Kimberly Peirce
Cast: Chloë Grace Moretz, Julianne Moore, Judy Greer, Ansel Elgort
The Skinny: A great cast gave great promise for this remake of Stephen King's classic story; but a shoddy trailer has sparked significant backlash. "Carrie" will likely hold strong against no competition and draw in plenty of the teen audience, but its quality (or lack thereof) is in major question.

Haunter

Director: Vincenzo Natali
Cast: Abigail Breslin, Sarah Manninen, Stephen McHattie, David Hewlett
The Skinny: A limited release from IFC Midnight, "Haunter" appears to be another solid entry in the spooks and specters craze sweeping the nation throughout 2013. Vincenzo Natali is also a very marketable horror presence considering his history with "Cube", "Ginger Snaps" and most recently "Splice".
