#Perfect dark remake series
” Series 7 of the UK version of “Inside No. Our own Paul Lê said, of its sixth season, that the series “ remains unparalleled when it comes to crafting self-contained universes and eccentric casts. 9” is currently one of the best shows you’re not watching. That legacy is a high bar to clear, as “Inside No. We hope we can make a version that is worthy of the legacy.”
Ĭo-Head of Content & Programming Lauren Anderson told Deadline in a statement, “We want to do inventive, noisy interesting television and that show is one of one. Pemberton and Shearsmith will executive produce the new series alongside Angie Stephenson and Josh Cole. Each episode, which often explores genre twists and tropes, is loosely linked by the number nine and a brass rabbit figurine. Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith ( In the Earth, A Field in England) created BBC’s original award-winning anthology series. 9 ,” an anthology series that blends horror, dark humor, crime, and suspense.Ĭurrently in development, “From Lionsgate Television and BBC Studios Los Angeles Productions, this dark comedy features high stakes, shocking twists, and the unexpected.” Among them is a new remake of the British series “ Inside No. Overall, this dreadful remake ran shy of where it could have won the race.Amazon Freevee, the ad-funded streaming service formerly known as IMDb TV, unveiled an increased slate of originals.
What was the point of that? Stevie Wayne's cheesy closing monologue was even cheesier than the concluding monologue in House of the Dead. It also makes everything that preceded it make little sense. It's supposed to be a shocker, but it's extremely predictable. It would have been interesting if they showed that ghost more, but alas, they shied away from it. There was also a really creepy ghost who was only shown in shadows (you never saw his face) and who wore a top hat. The eerie image of the sailors on their ship in the fog gave me the chills. There is one pretty shocking death scene that was cool and there were some cool cinematography shots. Only a few more drops of blood and it would be R. Also, why aim for a PG-13? It's obvious the filmmakers wanted to put some gore in this, and they did, because there were many deaths that involved people being maimed and/or set on fire, not necessarily in that order. In this one, he's just a stupid old drunk who has a minimal impact on the story and plays more like the typical "old lady who can see the future" kind of character. Also, the fog in this film is all CGI, and is not nearly as menacing as the one in the original was.Father Malone's character in the original was a major contributor to the story, because he represented the sins of the founding fathers. They were all see through, and instead of a giant fishing hook, Father Blake carried a cane (WTF?), not for support while walking, but for a scene near the end of the film where flying glass shards contribute to the death of a character. I'm surprised Andy's old nanny wasn't shown strutting around in her undies while cleaning the dishes. Why can't they have black heroes in horror movies? Every character is seen in some state of undress, including Stevie Wayne, a mother of a young teenage boy named Andy, who struts around in panties in front of her son (I thought that was funny). There is even a token black guy who serves as the "comic relief" for the film. The naive young girl who sees "horrible things" happening and who is befriended by her "hot ex-boyfriend". Not surprisingly, the modernized Fog created new loopholes in the story and in addition had a terrible script. This remake had potential because it could have corrected some of the plot holes from the original. It was not John Carpenter's best effort, but it still was an 8 out of 10 movie. The original Fog deserves to be a cult classic and is a great film, but I thought it could have used a couple of improvements. It looked to much like Boogeyman or Darkenss Falls rather than an atmospheric, imaginative, horror production like the original. From then on, my hopes weren't that high, and they sank even lower when I saw the trailer. I wasn't angry about The Fog remake until I heard that it was going to be released by Revolution Studios, a company known to house crap movies.
