A while back EW’s Ausiello Files sat down with Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, and since we’re so close to the beginning of a new era for Supernatural I thought it’d be nice to kick back with our old friend “The Kripster” as he tells us about his  decision to step down after the completion of his “vision”, and what that means going forward into Season 6. Read on. Enjoy.

EW: “Why did you decide to step down as show runner?”

KRIPKE: “We were reaching the end of this five-year story line [so] I thought the timing was right. I knew that we were closing this chapter and opening a new one. It felt like it was the right time to take a step back and focus on new projects, but still keep my grubby little mitts in the show…

SYNOPSIS:

Mi-Yu, a virtuoso cellist, survives a horrific car accident and decides to become a music teacher.

REVIEW:

Director: Lee Woo-cheol
Cast: Choi Ji-yeon, Park Da-an, Hyeon-a Seong

The Examination: Could someone please get a fresh idea, PLEASE?!

Mi-Yu (Hyeon-a Seong) is a part time music professor with a caring husband and two lovely young daughters, with the older of the two, Yoon-jin, having a learning disability. Also living with Mi-Yu is her happy go lucky, soon to be sister in law, Kyung-ran, and eventually a weird housekeeper with a very spooky and tragic history.

The movie opens with Mi-Yu being harassed by a student that received a failing grade from her and feels the grade was undeserved. The student is upset to the extent of leaving dead animals lying around, threatening phone calls, and slashing Mi-Yu’s tires. But it just so happens to be Mi-Yu’s birthday! And this is when the really strange and disturbing events begin to happen. Haunting memories surface when Mi-Yu discovers that Hae-Yeong, the younger sister of her former classmate and best friend, Tae-Yeon, will be performing at a local venue. Mi-Yu receives an audio cassette from Hae-Yeong and on her way home from the performance decides to listen. Moments after the music begins , she begins to faint and is nearly hit by a truck. Mi-Yu is unaware that this is only the first of a series of eerie events that will slowly unravel around her. More »

SYNOPSIS:

Korean slasher about a group of young people who reunite with their now wheel-chair bound teacher. The happy gathering turns into a nightmare as old grudges and hidden truths surface and one by one the former classmates vanish in a series of unforgettably gruesome murders.

REVIEW:

I use to be a HUGE fan of Asian horror films. I guess now with all the remaking and how popular it has become….I am just not as interested. Bloody Reunion however was not bad at all. I quite enjoyed it. It’s typical but what isn’t these days eh? It appears to be Dae-wung Lim’s first film. I wouldn’t say the other cast and crew are well-known either. It’s also a Korean film.

The Korean film industry have made a couple of amazing films and have been more recognized with mainstream audiences. They surely have stepped up a lot since 2005 or well when Old Boy became popular at least. The good thing about Bloody Reunion is that it tells an original storyline instead of being yet another Ringu or Ju-on rippoff I think that the female ghost with long black hair has been done a million times before so its refreshing to see something different. Bloody reunion is a full blooded slasher film.

I seemed to give a shit about the characters which is odd. The film had
great character development and was such a fun slasher unlike so many. There is a twist ending but like any of these films nowadays have me fooled right?. I believe it was originally titled, “To Sir With Love.” 

Tension and animosity within the group start to become apparent as the evening progresses and before long a equivocal figure wearing a rabbit mask begins vigorously executing the group one by one. There were a few mephitic looking torture scenes as well as the deaths being very lurid and repulsive. One character is forced to eat razor blades which is not like the idiosyncratic celestial horror film from Asia and the plot was very cunning. You wouldn’t figure out the twist at the end and it was mildly compelling at its subject matter. I think it was about the value of friendship, so its also a psychological thriller/drama. More »

SYNOPSIS:

An eccentric man aged about 40 lives alone in a decrepit house in Tokyo. He periodically transforms into a giant, about 30 meters tall, and defends Japan by battling similarly sized monsters that turn up and destroy buildings. The giant and the monsters are computer-generated.

REVIEW:

Hilariously Absurd!

Just when you began to think that Asian films can’t be clever anymore (or maybe not) comes along a cool little piece of gigantic proportions! Big man Japan. For me the trailer was the clincher before even consideration, and I was hooked. The last in the 6-shooter series from Magnet is an Asian horror / humor/ action piece originally called Dai-Nipponjin.

As we join our interview in progress, we find that Masaru Dai Saito (Hitoshi Matsumoto) our focus, is giving us the rather bland details of his life. In fact in the first 10 minutes you might be wondering what is so interesting that I should stick around to listen to this rather ordinary man with ordinary rituals. Well never have you been so wrong as our mockumentary everyday man is actually Dai Nipponjin (“Big Man Japan”) the hero of Japan. As it rounds out, with quite a few questions that seem to be wasted, we see him called into Japan’s Dept. of Monster Defense to transform into his alter ego Big Man Japan. A Godzilla sized, pointy haired mammoth of man that looks like a lower budget Hulk without the green skin and anger. Yes he transforms into a CGI character! More »

“The story started as a discussion about how to best stave off and survive through the inevitable oncoming zombie apocalypse. Several survival methods were discussed, each with their own likelihood of survival. These ideas eventually became a story, and over the course of time, became a script. After shooting many interviews for a documentary on the history of zombie cinema, the genre became a much more interesting place, and definable story arcs, common elements, ethos and social commentaries seemed to come from the various eras of the genre.

With this in mind, each of the five groups of survivors in They Walk is modeled after an era of zombie cinema, both in visual aesthetic and story. Some references are much more obvious than others, while some are subtle to the point of taking a real interest in the genre itself to catch. However, any viewer with an admiration for independent film can appreciate the story, whether steeped in zombie genre tidbits or only a casual nibbler of the flesheater genre.
