What do you get when you put a B-movie geek and a video-game geek in a basement and have them talk for an hour? Another episode of Film Reviews from the Basement, the official radio show/podcast of We Came from the Basement. Tonight, Shawn and Greg put their collective heads together and come up with some coherent thoughts about director Barry Levinson 's found-footage horror flick The Bay and the long delayed sequel Silent Hill : Revelation. The Bay is a 2012 mockumentary about the chaos that breaks out in a small Maryland town after an ecological disaster occurs. Something tells me The Bay in question has nothing to do with the Canadian retail franchise. Then comes the latest entry in 3D horror cinema as Solomon Kane director Michael J. Bassett takes audiences back to Silent Hill. When her father disappears, Heather Mason is drawn into a strange and terrifying alternate reality that holds answers to the horrific nightmares that have plagued her since childhood. ...

News headlines don't get any more on the nose than that. But really, that's what this story is all about. It's a story about a poster for the upcoming fantasy epic Solomon Kane. No more, no less. I say upcoming loosely as Shawn and I reviewed Solomon Kane back on our September Special in 2010 and film sites have been writing about the adaptation of Robert E. Howard's character since the flick was announced back in 2007. Directed by Michael J. Bassett and starring James Purefoy, Solomon Kane has screened internationally for years and played at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009, but never received a theatrical release Stateside. Word has it that Solomon Kane will hit VOD on Friday and receive a limited theatrical release on Sept. 28 via Radius, a new division of The Weinstein Company. And thank freaking Christ as this movie needs to be seen! It's great B-grade swashbuckling entertainment. But enough chatter. Here's the poster! And hey, le...

Things are finally moving forward on a sequel to Christophe Gan's adaptation of the classic video game Silent Hill. I say finally because the first Silent Hill came out in 2006, which is long enough that you'd think the producers would shoot for a reboot instead. I didn't mean that. Really. DON'T DO IT! The good news is British director Michael J. Bassett (Solomon Kane) has signed on to write and direct the picture, which is produced by Don Carmody and Samuel Hadida. We here in The Basement loved Solomon Kane, so this bodes well. Bassett spoke with Empire about the film, which is entitled Silent Hill: Revelations 3D. OK, the 3D part is worrisome. "I spent a long time revisiting the games and reading just about every little piece of material I could find on the mythology.  Of course, my choices may not please everyone, but the ambition is to give the audience a twisted, intense and terrifying experience... " Sounds pretty good, despite not...
