Last week we reviewed the upcoming indie-horror/comedy We Summon the Darkness starring Alexandra Daddario and Johnny Knoxville. Have you heard the episode yet? Well, get on it ! Today I had the pleasure of chatting with the man who dreamed the movie up, screenwriter Alan Trezza! He also served as the film's executive producer, and broke into the business as the writer/producer of Burying the Ex, which was directed by genre great Joe Dante. That's a picture of Dante and Trezza above. Alan and I talked about where the idea for We Summon the Darkness came from, what it was like working with Daddario and, because it's a big part of the movie, we yapped about heavy metal too. Screenwriting is a tough job. Trust me, I've done it. So it was great speaking with a fellow writer about the business, and how he got this project off the ground. We had a great time, and I can't wait for Basement Dwellers to hear it. When, you ask? How about Friday, April 3, at 6:05 P....

Alexandra Daddario is no stranger to genre films, having survived Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw 3D and a giant earthquake in San Andreas. But can she survive a group of Satanists? Her new flick, We Summon the Darkness, was just acquired by Saban Films for a December theatrical and VOD release, and it sounds like it holds some promise. In the film, Daddario and two friends embark on a road trip to a heavy metal concert. Naive, they end up bonding with three seemingly friendly guys, and end up at an afterparty. Naturally, what should be a night of fun takes a dark and deadly turn... because that's what happens in these movies. Here's a promotional poster for the flick: I dig Daddario (say that three times fast) and will likely give this a watch. What say you? We Summon the Darkness is directed by Marc Meyers, and hits Dec. 13. Source: Bloody Disgusting

Lemmy Jason: It took me a while to get into this documentary, but once I did, I was hooked. Hearing all that metal music and listening to those fascinating interviews was a great way to spend a couple of hours with a beer or three. I loved the Metallica sequence and the stories from Lemmy's former band members, especially those from Hawkwind, were a blast. Lemmy himself is at once a sad but cool character. I want to watch it again and crank it during the music sequences. Lemmy is a Good for sure. Shawn: This kind of documentary is right up my alley. Here is a story about the pioneer of heavy metal, punk and all those spinoffs. Lermmy is the big dog, period! At times this feels more like a love fest than a documentary, with some crazed fan tasked with following Lemmy around. That said, I loved it! I will even watch it again. It's a good documentary and great entertainment for my metal soul. A Good from the Bad Man. Deaden Jason: Filmmakers who piss and moan about not bei...

Nothing goes together like heavy metal and action movies. Maybe heavy metal and horror, but the crunchy guitars and choppy bass suit shoot 'em ups best. So it's no accident Shawn and I have selected the documentary Lemmy and the action picture Deaden to close out our season on The X. Lemmy is about the life and times of Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister. Anyone who loves metal will want to catch this film featuring appearances by Alice Cooper, Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield. Is the documentary about Lemmy as bad ass as his life? Stick with us! And you have to stick around for Deaden, written by and starring Basement fave John Fallon, The Arrow of Arrow in the Head . Fallon has been good to The Basement this season and was our first feature interview. His action flick, made on a low budget, is slowly making the rounds around the globe and Shawn and I are anxious to see it. Will it be Good, Bad or Ugly? Tune in tonight and find out. When we're not reviewing movies, we...
