How is Hooked Up the first and only horror movie to be shot completely on an iPhone camera? I mean, we’re living in an age of found footage oversaturation that’s exploring every possible movie-viewing-medium, be it through watching a computer screen (Unfriended) or wearing concealed spy glasses (V/H/S), so the fact that there isn’t an Entire found-footage-iPhone movie in existence makes me think this stale subgenre may have some fresh vitality left. Unfortunately, none of that reinvigorated energy emerges throughout Hooked Up - an aggravating bit of bro-horror that’s built on a few cheap jump scares, disgusting dialogue delivered by unlikable leads, and a sloppily undercooked haunted house story that’s dropped like a bad cell call.
Pablo Larcuen’s hormone fueled sex-cation opens with the introduction of Hooked Up‘s two lead characters, Tonio (Jonah Ehrenreich) and Peter (Stephen Ohl). As Peter slouches over their apartment toilet,...

A dark, loud, found footage horror film set in a Barcelona apartment block at night. No, not that one – with not a fireman in sight, on a lads’ holiday following a bad breakup, two awful young Americans hook up with girls in a bar and retire to a creepy old apartment block for sex. It’s all fun and games until someone ends up bleeding from the balls.
A film which starts out with one of its characters vomiting into a toilet for a good five minutes, Hooked Up is resolutely hard to like. Its two leads are a terrible pair, one being a borderline rapist, the other a violent creep who struggles to hold his booze and makes far too many hand gestures when he gets stressed. Tonio acts like Jay from The Inbetweeners...

You know, I really have to learn to act on my impulses. A couple of years ago I was talking with friends about how we should make a movie just using the iPhone as a camera. Well, we never did, but apparently the idea was pretty sound.
According to filmmaker Pablo Larcuen, his new flick Hooked Up is the first ever feature film shot entirely on an iPhone, and now Raven Banner has acquired world sales rights to the film, which premiered at last year’s Sitges.
Stephen Ohl, Jonah Ehrenreich, and Julia Molins star in the flick, which promises "Party, alcohol, sex & blood… in Barcelona!" Jaume Collet-Serra produces.

While I’m pretty sure this isn’t the first feature-length film shot using an iPhone, it definitely is one that is touting the acclaim with the backing of being selected at Stiges.
Hooked Up is being presented by Jaume Collet-Serra and directed by Pablo Larcuen, who previously directed the short My Invisible Friend, which played at Fantastic Fest 2010. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see that film so I cannot comment on Larcuen’s ability to make a film but the trailer will give you the strange sense of Déjà vu (look at V/H/S). Regardless, you might want to check out the trailer below.

Around two years ago we here at Dread Central were talking about using the iPhone to make a feature length horror movie. Since then there have been several. We really have to start acting on these ideas, damn it. It sucks being right sometimes. In any event, here's your first look at the artwork and trailer for the latest.
Pablo Larcuen's found footage flick Hooked Up will be playing at the Sitges Film Festival. Stephen Ohl, Jonah Ehrenreich, and Julia Molins star.

A selection of festivals as diverse as Sitges - Europe's largest genre event - and Clermont Ferrand - the world's most prestigious short film festival - Pablo Larcuen's film school graduation project Elefante is an odd one, a film that riffs on the central concept of Kafka's The Metamorphosis but does so with a gleeful grin on its face. The trailer for this one is short but sweet, take a look at it below....

The 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival is set to run June 17-27 in a brand new location. Oh, it’s still in L.A, but it’s moving across town, from Westwood — where it’s been held the past few years — all the way over to Downtown.
The main “hub” for the fest will be the new L.A. Live complex, but there will also be screenings at other locations, such as the Downtown Independent and Redcat theaters. The city is really trying to build downtown up into a major arts and culture hub, so the festival moving there fits in with that agenda. Film Independent, the organization that runs Laff, also runs the annual Independent Spirit Awards, an event that also moved downtown — from Santa Monica — this year.
