Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Ten 2014 Horror Films To Look Forward To!

Wait - 2013 is coming to a close already?! I feel like just yesterday I was finding out about Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead remake, debating with my horror loving brethren whether or not such a sacred property should be touched. Now, here I am starting to format my "Best Of/Worst Of" lists for 2013's slew of horror films, reflecting on a year that saw tremendous highs and rock-bottom lows. While Remdog and I already reflected on our predictions from 2013, and how right/wrong we both were, it's now time to put the past behind us, and look forward to an entirely fresh batch of horror movies - 2014 horror time!

Remy – Theatre Bizarre 2: Grand Guignol

The Theatre Bizarre is a strange little French horror anthology that I feel like no one saw, yet I really enjoyed. For that reason alone, I got pretty excited when I saw that there’s a sequel planned for 2014. I got even more excited when I saw some of the names attached. Then I saw the subtitle, and pretty much got wood.

Do you know what the Grand Guignol was? If you don’t, I think it a joke that you call yourself a horror fan. Honestly.

The Grand Guignol was a theater in Paris in the the early nineteen hundreds that pretty much invented the horror performance genre. Yes, in the earliest parts of the century, audiences were flooding to a theater in Paris to watch people get fake murdered on stage. The modern equivalent doesn’t exist – that is how twisted and ahead of its time the Grand Guignol was.

To see there is a Theatre Bizarre sequel, and to see its subtitle honor such a momentous horror movement, gets me super excited. I also LOVE me a good horror anthology, which is exactly what this series is. Oh, and the directors I am most excited about being on board? Xavier Gens and Pascal Laugier. French horror directors at their finest. I say this easily trumps the lackluster V/H/S/2. Mark my words.
