Reminiscent of the Quentin Tarantino / Robert Rodriguez collaboration Grindhouse with its throwback features and faux trailers for non-existent movies, filmmaker and artist Pat Tremblay’s new book Terror in the Ailien Realms: Transdimensional Horror Movie Posters & Their Film Reviews consists of posters for and reviews of movies that have never existed!
An explanation of what this book is all about was provided in a press release (via Variety), “Drawn by the deep nostalgia of roaming video rental stores to find cool movies to watch by judging what its VHS box’s artwork would entice or beguile, filmmaker & artist Pat Tremblay has created a series of horror movie posters with the assistance of AI. He then proposed to talented individuals within the horror movie scene to write imaginary reviews for them.

Thanatomorphose: “visible signs of an organism’s decomposition caused by death”
Thanatomorphose is, to put it bluntly, a startling and horrifying first feature from writer/director Éric Falardeau. On the surface the film has a pretty simple plot: discovering several bruises on her body after a night of rough sex, a young woman is shocked as, rather than heal itself, her body begins rotting from the inside out, her putrifying body literally falling off the bone.
However dig a little deeper and you soon realise Falardeau’s film, however shocking, is actually a metaphor for societies ills – touching on ideas of loneliness, hopelessness, bad body-image and self-loathing. You could say the film is a wake-up call for all those young “sexualised” girls the media are forever warning us about.

It's been a while since we last heard about Éric Falardeau's Quebecois/Canadian body horror flick Thanatomorphose. We're about to remind you that some of us Canadians can think up some pretty nasty shit. Nearly ten years after Falardeau's film hit the circuit and found an AnZac/Uk home back then with Monster Pictures, it has found a new home over at TetroVideo. The release is coming out in March. I know TetroVideo says in the press release that this is the first time that Thanatomorphose will be released on Blu-ray but a quick scan of the website suggests differently. What's a Dead Pussy Bundle? Anyways, it's here, or it's back. As is with anything from TetroVideo this is for fans of extreme horror and...

It was two years ago when I first saw blogger-turned-filmmaker Any Stewart’s short Dysmorphia, his superb take on the body-horror genre pioneered by the likes of David Cronenberg. Since then we’ve had the likes of Éric Falardeau’s Thanatomorphose – a feature length look at the physical breakdown of the human body - and now comes Stewart’s Split.
I was a huge fan of Dysmorphia, so I was eager to see what Andy Stewart would bring to the screen for the second “act” of his three film body-horror trilogy. Even more so considering this was set to be more of a grotesque effects-filled story (perhaps Stewart’s homage to Cronenberg’s The Fly remake?)
Guess what? I wasn’t disappointed.
Now I can’t go further without first mentioning Thanatomorphose. That film totally blew me away – director...

I’ve never encountered a motion picture quite like “Thanatomorphose.” You’re either going to absolutely adore this movie or hate it with every fiber of your being. It’s one of the most depressing and thoroughly exhausting horror flicks I’ve ever encounter, and that’s really saying something. Anyone who’s read my reviews at Beyond Hollywood knows that I’ve stuffed some seriously demented cinema into my brain over the years. However, this one easily takes the cake as the most grueling. And, yes, I clearly remember “A Serbian Film.” There isn’t much of a plot to speak of in writer/director Éric Falardeau’s deranged little flick. Instead, you get to watch an emotionally insecure 20-something come to terms with the fact that her body is slowly rotting from the inside out. The movie is damned slow, but it’s thoroughly fascinating in its presentation of the situation.

Get ready for 10 truly terrifying nights when Washington, D.C.’s Spooky Movie International Horror Film Festival haunts the AFI Silver Theatre on Oct 10-19 for the fest’s 8th annual edition.
Things really jolt alive on the 10th with the Opening Night film Willow Creek, a surprising genre entry by comedian-turned-director Bobcat Goldthwait, who tells the tale about a couple of amateur Bigfoot hunters who get in way over their heads in the woods. Goldthwait will be on hand for a post-screening Q&A moderated by Film Comment‘s Laura Kern. Also playing on this opening night are a program of scary short films and the feature An American Terror, a post-Columbine fright flick by Haylar Garcia.
As for the other nine nights, sticking true to the “International” in the fest’s name are movies such as the Ireland/France/Sweden co-production Dark Touch by Marina de Van about...

We are always in a position of being forward and looking back. I’m at least 12 films into Fantasia at this point and having to document my musings about past experiences is starting to make me dizzy. Fanciful eye gouging is not for the weak of heart, but I soldier on. Week 1 brought a great list of premieres to Montreal, of which most would agree the following two films are not a part of. For the sake of argument however, I will differ (or defer? Frankly, they both work). Not to worry though, I will serve you more choice cuts down the road; but for now, here are the nasty bits:
Thanatomorphose (Canada, 2012)
Éric Falardeau’s microbudget head scratcher is not for the impatient, nor the faint of heart. After the Canadian premiere, I’ve heard critics complain that this film should have been a short instead of a feature,...

Over the past few weeks we've been keeping you updated on the expanding lineup of titles being added to Montreal's Fantasia 2013, the largest genre film festival in North America. Now that the list is a lock and the curtain is set to rise tomorrow night, we thought we'd gather up our own list of the Fantasia screenings we're most curious about. Some of the fest titles we've shared with you already, in some form or another: for example, we took a look at James Wan's The Conjuring, the grim Israeli killer flick Big Bad Wolves, Mike Mendez's monster bash Big Ass Spider! and E.L. Katz's mind-games thriller Cheap Thrills; some titles like V/H/S/2 and the psycho-thriller Magic Magic are seeing their theatrical, DVD and/or On Demand premieres this month, and Adam Wingard's You're Next screens at Comic-Con tonight. But there are still plenty...

Featuring: Kayden Rose, Émile Beaudry, Eryka Cantieri, Roch-Denis Gagnon
Thanatomorphose, which is a French word meaning "visible signs of an organism's decomposition caused by death," is Éric Falardeau's debut feature film. After offering us a series of award-winning shorts, which include Purgatory and Coming Home, Falardeau's first feature-length effort is the culmination of the "art house-gore" aesthetic he's been cultivating in his previous works.
The film follows a young woman, brilliantly played by Kayden Rose, who is numbly sleepwalking through her life: She has a boring day job she doesn't care about; she is stuck in a loveless, abusive relationship; her social life is pretty much non-existent; and she even lacks the motivation to work on a sculpture she's been trying to complete. To make matters worse, she just doesn't care about any of this, passively letting everything happen to her without ever...

Vaginas. Who doesn't love them? With this latest one-sheet for the indie flick Thanatomorphose, all we can think about are vaginas. Seriously, whatever it is I think I see, it becomes a vagina to me.
From the Pres Release
Thanatofilms, a subsidiary of Les productions Outofnowhere inc., and Black Flag Pictures proudly present the official poster for director Éric Falardeau’s independently produced dark tale of sex and gore, Thanatomorphose.
The poster was made by graphic artist Marc Boisclair, who has previously worked with director Éric Falardeau on Thanatomorphose’s marketing artwork.
Marc explains: For Thanatomorphose, Éric wanted to use a different approach than traditional film posters. In fact, the concept wouldn’t contain any shots taken from the movie nor any actor pictures. The real star would be that crack in the wall – similar to the one found in the film – representing the evolution of the physical and psychological distress of the main character.

Fantasia fans of stop motion animated film should take interest in Éric Falardeau’s short Crépuscule. Local Quebec filmmaker, Falardeau has directed five live action multi-awarded short films (almost all shot on Kodak super 8 mm film) and is now working on his first full length feature.
Crépuscule is a demented stop motion animated short, featuring a ton of gore and sex! The film follows a group of angel-like creatures living in perfect symbiosis with their environment until a man and a woman break into their dull and regulated world, disturbing their peaceful ways, and tempting them to discover human desires.
The film was shot in HD with the Canon Mark II Eos 5D and a set of lenses (along with the Dragon Stop Motion software). The shooting involved almost exclusively indoor shots in front of a blue screen. 35mm release prints started to tour the festival circuit last week with...

Thanatomorphose. No, it's not the term for how a tadpole turns into a frog or how Chaz Bono turned into ... whatever it was she turned into. Thanatomorphose is a seriously twisted looking upcoming horror film from Canadian director Éric Falardeau. And now the film has its leading lady.
The lovely Kayden Rose, who has previously acted in three short films and done various modeling work, will take on the daunting task of leading the way in Thanatomorphose, which is a French word referring to "the visible signs of an organism’s decomposition caused by death." Good luck, Kayden.

Director Eric Falardeau has been quietly hammering away at his bizarre stop-motion horror film – Crépuscule – for a long while, and here’s its ultra-odd trailer. Looks pretty damn cool.

The movie trailer has become an art form unto itself. No longer just a simple marketing tool, movie trailers are introductions, shouted from a soapbox, that a particular film has arrived. And as fans we devour them.
The trailer lets us know that the film we've heard so much about is real, and right around the corner. However, as much as we love them, trailers do tend to be somewhat similar ... a flash of action here, some beautiful film stars there and a suitable rocking soundtrack laid below an intriguing narrator's voice. Pretty routine fare all around.
That is, until the release of the trailer for the new short film Crépuscule. I can honestly say I've never seen anything quite like this little gem. Let's just say ... um ... this is one trailer you have to check out for yourself.

However, as much as we love them, trailers do tend to be somewhat similar ... a flash of action here, some beautiful film stars there and a suitable rocking soundtrack laid below an intriguing narrator's voice. Pretty routine fare all around.
That is, until the release of the trailer for the new short film Crépuscule. I can honestly say I've never seen anything quite like this little gem. Let's just say ... um ... this is one trailer you have to check out for yourself.
