Coming Soon has posted the official synopsis for Wanted, the movie based on Mark Millar’s recent comic book mini-series. Readers of the original book may note some… interesting changes in the concept here: Based upon Mark Millar's explosive graphic novel… Continue reading
This week has seen Cannibal Holocaust come up more often than even that time I went to the Cannibal Holocaust convention. First Bloody Disgusting reported that CH director Ruggero Deodato was making a cameo appearance in Eli Roth’s Hostel: Part 2. Then we… Continue reading

Much has been made of the turmoil and rich soap opera level shenanigans both on CHUD.com own message boards and in the squabblings of the internet film community featuring folks from here as well as luminaries and loonies like Harry Knowles, Drew McWeeny,… Continue reading
A good critic should react to a movie, not to the movie’s poster or trailer or Fox’s seeming desire to burn the freshness out of the movie months before it’s even released. It’s that last one that has given me some trouble with Borat: Cultural Learnings of… Continue reading
I want to make Roy Frumkes the patron saint of CHUD.com; I don’t think there’s anyone in the film world whose sensibility is more in line with ours. Roy wrote and produced the splattery classic Street Trash, about bums that drink a tainted wine that causes… Continue reading
