Eye In The Sky (DVD Review)

When people talk about modern warfare, it tends to be in rather black and white terms. It’s either people concerned about collateral damage who tend to ignore the moral quagmire that killing a few innocent people may end up saving many more, or the more gung-ho attitude that ignores the guiltless that get caught up in it. Eye In The Sky attempts to explore the grey areas.

In Nairobi, a British and American task force are tracking some Islamic extremist terrorists, but are mainly doing so from afar, using drones controlled from the US and other tech piloted by a local (Barkhad Abdi) on the ground. They discover that three of their most wanted targets are together in a house. However, plans to capture them quickly change to the need for a possible kill-strike, when they realise there are bomb belts in the house and a suicide attack is imminent. Things get even more complex when a young girl enters the kill zone and they realise a strike is likely to kill her. [Read more…]

The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death (DVD Review)

The Woman In Black surprised nearly everyone when it became the most successful horror movie ever at the British box office. Due to the fact it was such a huge hit, it’s not surprising a sequel has emerged, complete with a story by Susan Hill who wrote the original Woman In Black novel.

Things have moved on though, as Angel Of Death is set 40 years after the original during the Second World War, when a group of evacuees and their teachers, Jean Hogg (Helen McCrory) and Eve Parkins (Phoebe Fox), are sent to the countryside and move into the dilapidated Eel Marsh House – the setting of the first tale. Unsurprisingly this awakens the evil, ghostly presence that resides there, which seems particularly interested in young Edward (Oaklee Pednergast), who is traumatised and mute following the death of his parents in the Blitz.

Hammer and eOne have announced that The Woman In Black: Angel Of Death has begun shooting, and with it they’ve released the first couple of stills from the film, featuring Phoebe Fox, Jeremy Irvine and Helen McCrory.

The film went into development shortly after the Daniel Radcliffe starring The Woman In Black became the highest grossing horror movie in UK history and made over $130 million around the globe. Susan Hill (who wrote the original novel) then came up with an original story idea, with Jon Croker handling the screenplay. Tom Harper directs.

The film will continue the story four decades after the first film. After it is seized by the government during World War II, the sudden arrival of a group of evacuated children at Eel Marsh House awakens its darkest inhabitant.

The film’s due out in the UK on February 2015.

Jeremy Irvine & Phoebe Fox To Star In Woman In Black Sequel

Jeremy Irvine in Now Is Good

The Woman In Black surprised many when it became the biggest horror-thriller ever at the UK box office and found success around the world too. Unsurprising a sequel was soon announced, with Susan Hill, who wrote the original Woman In Black novel, coming up with an idea for it.

Daniel Radcliffe won’t be back, so a new cast is needed. Now it’s been announced that Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Phoebe Fox (Switch) have signed up to star in The Woman in Black: Angel of Death.

The film will continue the story four decades after the first film. Seized by the government during World War II, the sudden arrival of a group of evacuated children at Eel Marsh House awakens its darkest inhabitant. There’s no news on exactly who Irvine and Fox will be, although we assume they’ll be busy getting haunted in the movie (although we reckon Jeremy Irvine is too pretty to haunt – ghosts leave him alone!).

Tom Harper will direct from a screenplay by Jon Croker wrote the screenplay. Harper commented, “Jeremy and Phoebe are fantastic actors to continue The Woman in Black’s chilling tale. I’m looking forward to working with them both on the film and can’t wait to start shooting with the pair.”

Interestingly the announcement refers to Angel Of Death as ‘the next installment’, suggesting they may want to make a few more after this one.
