Horror Headlines 7/3/08

Val Kilmer has joined the cast of "Silver", a film about what happens when a young man has an out of body experience and risks losing his life forever. This is normally the part where I make a joke about how Kilmer is washed up, but I read someone say once that he walks around all day with Batman's utility belt filled with donuts, and I can't possibly think of anything funnier than that. So, there you go.

"Repo: A Genetic Opera", Darren Lynn Bousman's horror/rock/musical, will be released LIMITED on November 7th. The film is set in the future at a time where organs are loaned to people instead of given, and if they don't keep up with the payments a Repo-man gets sent after them. Lions Gate has been dilly dallying with this release date for a while now, so let's hope this one sticks.

Red-band trailer for "Asylum", a stalk and slash flick from David R. Ellis ("Final Destination 2", "Snakes on a Plane") which hits DVD July 15th.

I can't believe I haven't heard of "Eden Lake" yet. It's essentially a film about a UK couple who go on a camping trip, whose lives are shattered when their camp is encircled by out of control youths hellbent on violence and destruction. The film is already proving controversial, mainly because it is addressing a real life issue in the UK; youth gangs filled with feral children who are apparently wreaking havoc on the country. Sounds pretty creepy to me. Stills and poster at the link.
