Lamberto Bava's Ghost Son

The official site for Lamberto Bava's Ghost Son is now online in English and Itallian flavours (thanks to Antonello Samito for the link). Laura Harring, John Hannah and Pete Postlethwaite star - a cast resolutely unlike anything you'd find in a modern American horror film.

The plot description on the site is well worth sharing too:

A paranormal thriller that keeps you breathless from the beginning to the end. A love story that happens once in a lifetime and lasts forver. She is Stacey, he is Mark. On his farm, they are out of time and out of space. In those neverending plains made of dawns and sunsets, where one feels mysterious presences. Stacey is happy, her love for Mark makes her feel alive and fulfilled. Then, one day Mark disappears, nevertheless she knows he won't ever leave her alone. She dreams about a night with Mark, a great unqiue night of love that looks real. Baby Martin is born. She starts living in an unreal dimension where reality is mixed with imagination and memories. "What if Martin is the son of the ghost?"

Bava Senior was undeniably a master, and Junior's no slouch either. This will be better than it sounds.

Be aware that the site offers four making-of clips as well as the trailer and whole slew of stills.

Edgar Wright Says Don't

Edgar Wright's trailer in Grind House seems to be the least discussed part of the whole package. Clearly too subtle and refined a taste, eh?

Here's all I know - and it isn't enough, so any more, please send it my way:

The film is called Don't. Various captions appear during the trailer to Don't do this, Don't do the other - such as Don't Scream. I'm not 100% sure but I am prepared to bet that Don't Get Me Started and Don't Even Get Me Started are not among them.

Nick Frost and Simon Pegg both appear - but they're just two in a 30 strong cast. As the trailer is only 90 seconds long, that's a lot of faces in not a lot of time so try not to blink. Nobody I have spoken to who has seen Grind House recognised Simon and Nick but, yep, they're both in there.

I put it to Edgar that the trailer was looking a little Pete Walker-like, from the fragment I'd seen, but he told me "There's not too much Pete Walker in there, a little more Argento and Bava, with a pinch of Legend of Hell House" - which disputes most people's assumption that he's simply done a Hammer pastiche.

Aside from Death Proof, the Don't trailer is the one thing I'm most looking forward to in Grind House - whenever it finally makes it out in the UK.
