From The Man Who Brought You Dumplings

.

To my horror-loving peoples out there, I hope y'all have found the time to watch Fruit Chan's 2004 film Dumplings at some point. Either the full-length version or the shorter version that was included on the anthology-film Three...Extremes (which also featured shorts by Takashi Miike and Park Chan-wook), which ever, just so long as you've given some of your time to watch the wonder that is Bai Ling making a youth-elixir out of... um... youths. It's one of the best horror flicks of the decade and I don't mean that just from a camp perspective - it's terrifically creepy and Bai Ling gives a legitimately good performance. For real. Seek it out, y'all!

Anyway, director Fruit Chan has finally got another film coming out. It's called Don't Look Up and it stars Henry Thomas (Elliot from E.T.!) and Kevin Corrigan and STYD tells us that "even Eli Roth shows up for a cameo"! It's described thusly:

"Don't Look Up concerns a young horror film director's sensitivity to paranormal visions which sends him on a spiraling descent into madness that threatens his life and that of his crew. On location in the decrepit, abandoned former Transylvania Film Studios, the characters of the medieval Romanian folk tale he is attempting to adapt to film appear to come to life, opening a portal in which horrifying deeds from the past begin to recur."

Oooookay then. Anyway, BD posted the first pic from the film yesterday - be warned, it's really gory - and the trailer's out today. Check it!
