That’s the reason I creep through the vaults of any studio that will let me in. I hadn’t seen any of these Blue Underground titles before and when they told me that five out of six of the titles I had asked to write about were available I was excited to have the chance to check them out.
First up was Anguish by acclaimed art house director Bigas Luna. Besides the Luna pedigree this film also boasted the talents of a young but still instantly recognizable

A week or two ago, we ran a little story about Sam Raimi producing a horror movie based on teh Danish movie Room
205. The main focus of that story was that Raimi was shooting it in his native Michigan, and he might film some second unit stuff for Spider-Man 4 there, as well. Now we're learning that
205 is one of two new foreign horror movie remakes on his agenda.
In addition to the Room 205, Raimi and his Ghost House Productions will also bring back the 1987 Spanish
flick Anguish, which was written and directed by Bigas Luna. Variety indicates that for this remake, Jake
Wade Wall (When a Stranger Calls) is writing the script; no director has been named.
It's about a couple teenagers watching a scary movie and then realize they're in their own version of a horror movie
when a maniac in the crowd at the theater starts killing

Ghost House Pictures keeps carving its way through the genre with a vengeance, as a couple of remake tidbits have hit the wire! What's next for the house that Raimi and Tapert built?
Variety reports tonight that the next film on the Ghost House slate will be a remake of a 1987 Spanish horror film, Bigas Luna's Anguish. For those unfamiliar with the flick, it told the tale of two girls trapped in a movie theater with a killer whose murders mirror the killing taking place on the big screen. Filming from a screenplay by Jake Wade Wall (When a Stranger Calls), Ghost House has hired Room 205 director Martin Barnewitz to helm this latest redux.
Speaking of which ... the remake of Room 205 (also being directed by Barnewitz) has found itself a new title -- The Dorm. Keep it locked for more on both these flicks as it develops.
