Top 10 Horror Films of 2009
22 October 2009 2:08 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
1- The Children The concept of killer kids is nothing new, but The Children can safely join the list of great horror movies like The Omen, Home Movie, The Exorcist, The Innocents and Village of the Damned. The film is directed by Tom Shankland who also adapted the script form a story by Paul Andrew Williams the director and writer of London to Brighton and The Cottage. Shankland delivers a simple film, with a simple set up and a simple pay off. What’s not simple are his sublime directorial flourishes. Shankland might add a few jump scares, but avoids genre clichés and wisely chooses an effective slow burn. The journey is unnerving, relentless, packed with suspense with a terrifying and brutal atmosphere. Easily one of the best horror films of the decade and destined to become a Brit Classic.

Top 10 Films of 2009 so far.
17 August 2009 11:33 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
As the summer winds down, I decided to make my list of my ten favorite films so far in the year. With Tiff and Oscar season on their way, there's a good chance that only half these films will make my top ten come the end of the year, but I felt the need to champion them one more time. #1- Inglourious Basterds Directed by Quentin Tarantino Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino's Pierrot Le Fou, his 8 1/2, a movie about cinema and quite possibly his most sophisticated entertaining and exhilarating film to date. The film's climax has an image worth waiting a career for, one that evokes the timeless power of cinema - a force that Tarantino works to harness, at risk of alienating an action-hungry audience. Regardless, it's a distinctive piece of American pop art and somewhat of a transition for the director. Inglourious Basterds is Tarantino's war film but more »

[DVD Review] London to Brighton
13 August 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
For as riotously entertaining as both Lock, Stock and Snatch were, Guy Ritchie has a lot to answer for. As international audiences were largely spared the brunt of the misery by a lack of international distribution, most Americans will never know the excruciating pain that even a single viewing of such piss poor clones the likes of Rancid Aluminum, The 51st State, and Love, Honor, and Obey can inflict. Thankfully these last few years have seen something of a moratorium on wearily hip tales of cock-er-ney wideboys and their harebrained, desperately ironic escapades, and with it a welcome return to the kind of arresting, gritty, and disgustingly grubby crime dramas Britain used to be very good at.
With that in mind we come to director Paul Andrew Williams's 2006 study of urban sickness London to Brighton, a grimy shoestring tale of an on-the-run prostitute, her underage ward and a perusing »

Fantasia '09: The Children (Film Review)
28 July 2009 2:07 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Orphan may be wringing some nasty, campy fun out of its evil-kid scenario in theaters right now, but The Children (screened at this month’s Fantasia film festival in Montreal, and coming on special-edition DVD from Lionsgate in October) is the real thing, a film that evokes true terror from the premise of our own offspring turning against us. In fact, never mind comparisons within its limited subgenre; this British production is one of the most effective fright features in recent years, period.
The setup is both simple and a little hard to sort out at first: Elaine (Eva Birthistle) and Jonah (Stephen Campbell Moore) bring their kids to the isolated country home of her sister Chloe (Rachel Shelley), Chloe’s husband Robbie (Jeremy Sheffield) and *their* kids for a Christmas celebration. For a little while, it’s difficult to keep track of which children belong to which adults, with »

Cherry Tree Lane Next For Cottage Team
7 July 2009 11:51 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Paul Andrew Williams is about to start principal photography on Cherry Tree Lane, his follow up to the hit and miss slasher comedy The Cottage, and his gritty urban debut London to Brighton.According to the short piece over at Screen Daily, the film is being produced by Williams' own Steel Mill Pictures, with funding from the UK Film Council.Plot-wise, we're told it's a home invasion thriller, with a couple terrorised by a gang of youths on the trail of their son (wonder what he did?). Difficult to predict the final tone though, given the director's previous. There's nothing especially wrong with The Cottage, but many felt it was an odd direction to take after London to Brighton's social conscience and verite style: a bit like Ken Loach deciding to follow up Poor Cow with a Hammer Dracula.No clues from Williams either, who says that "Cherry Tree Lane is tense, »
Cherry Tree Lane Is the Next Stop for Bloodshed!
7 July 2009 11:49 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
I think I’m slowly getting to the point where I need horror films to be fun again. I used to gripe that the genre needed a return of "real" horror, where audiences suffer as much as the characters on screen. But these days it seems like every other movie is an endurance test, and while I really like some of these flicks (Eden Lake, especially), I find myself looking forward to the over-the-top, escapist delights of things like the Night of the Demons remake or even I Sell the Dead.
But the disturbing stuff keeps on rolling! Today we’re learning about the latest addition to the "home invasion" subgenre, Cherry Tree Lane. It’s the latest horror flick from writer/director Paul Andrew Williams (pictured, London To Brighton, The Cottage), and it sounds like it won’t be skimping on the unpleasantness.

Cottage Helmer Moves onto Cherry Tree Lane
7 July 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
England continues its output of thrillers about crazed youth (like Eden Lake ) with Cherry Tree Lane . It's the latest picture from Paul Andrew Williams, the director of last year's horror-comedy import The Cottage . Williams penned the script about a family defending their home and son, on the titular street, from a gang of kids. Williams has also penned the script for the urban thriller, about a couple who are terrorised in their own home by a gang of youths hunting their son. " Cherry Tree Lane is tense, harrowing and even disturbing at times, and how these elements are handled, dramatically and cinematically will determine the final style of the film," says Williams. Metrodome is handling UK distribution; Steel Mill Pictures is producing. »
Cottage director moves to Cherry Tree Lane
6 July 2009 5:24 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Fango got word from UK production company Steel Mill Pictures about Cherry Tree Lane, the new film by Paul Andrew Williams, director of last year’s well-received horror/comedy The Cottage. Also scripted by Williams, the movie focuses on a couple who are terrorized in their home by a group of youths looking for their son.
Williams says the new thriller, which begins production next week, will be nearer in tone with his first feature, London To Brighton, than to the darkly humorous Cottage. “Cherry Tree Lane, for me, is a film that needs to be looked at on many levels,” he explains. “On the surface we are talking about an extremely horrific event that takes place, in real time, to an innocent family. It is tense, harrowing and even disturbing at times, and how these elements are handled, dramatically and cinematically, will determine the final style of the film. »
