Who needs sleep? v2.0

Here we go again...

Sunday
Isolation
Dir. Billy O'Brein- Ireland- 94 minutes
A down-on-his-luck farmer allows genetic experimentation on his cattle. Gee, do you think that could be a bad idea?
Piano Tuner of Earthquakes (Trailer link)
Dir. Brothers Quay- Germany/France/UK- 99 minutes
A disturbed genius kidnapps Malvina, an opera star, in order to turn her into an immortal mechanical masterpiece. When an innocent piano tuner is called upon to service the malevolent abductor, he becomes entwined in the "perverse universe" of Malvina's captor. Looks like Phantom of the Opera meets The Nightingale.
Starfish Hotel
Dir. John Williams- Japan- 98 minutes
Yuichi Arisu loses himself in novels about a place called Darkland. His wife disappears, and the lines between what he reads and what he lives begin to blur. The police think he's guilty, there's an underground brothel and there is a man in a rabbit suit helping Arisu. And we're wondering why it's getting comparisons to Donnie Darko?
I'm on the fence on this one, there's another film playing at that time that I want to see, so we might change over... Moving on...
Broken
Dir. Simon Boyes and Adam Mason- UK- 110 minutes
Just in case the world doesn't have enough survival horror, here comes another one. It may be cliche, a mother and daughter kidnapped, mother subjected to horrors to protect her child. It's another I might jump theatres on- Crispin Glover's on the next screen over with Simon Says...
Frostbite
Dir. Anders Banke- Sweden- 95 minutes
What do you do when there are vampires in a town where dawn is a month away? Don't know, but I'm skipping a special presentation of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre to find out!

Monday
Hatchet
Dir. Adam Green- 82 minutes
Teens go on a "Haunted Swamp Tour," murder, mayhem, and much nudity ensues. Campy it may be, but Harry Knowles from Ain't It Cool News is raving about it, and there's a cameo by Robert Englund. Like I'd miss that!
Bug (Trailer link)
Dir. William Freidken (Yes, the Exorcist, French Connection, that guy!)- 95 minutes
Ashley Judd, Harry Connick Jr., and psychosis. According to Roger Ebert, "A paranoid personality finds its mate, and they race each other to madness." I can't wait to see who hits the finish line first!
Ek Hasina Thi
Dir. Sriram Raghavan- India- 120 minutes
Indian. Gothic. Women's. Revenge. Flick. Got a problem with that?
Severance (Trailer link)
Dir. Christopher Smith- UK- 96 minutes
Screenwriter James Moran is presenting his unique slasher flick. What starts as something resembling The Office, or Office Space, quickly dissolves into a slasher film in the middle of the woods as the hapless employees of Palisade Defence start dropping. It's getting comparisons to Shaun of the Dead, and I get to play, Hey! It's that gal from 24!. Hi, Laura Harris!

Oi, leaving off there. Anime, Freddy Krueger, and Darren Aronofsky to come!
