Yet another behind-the-scenes featurette for the upcoming The Woman in Black has landed online, this one entitled "Daniel Radcliffe Is Arthur Kipps", and of course we have it right here for your viewing pleasure.

Joining star Daniel Radcliffe are Ciaran Hinds, Janet McTeer, Liz White, Alisa Khazanova, Tim McMullan, Roger Allam, Daniel Cerqueira, Shaun Dooley, Mary Stockley, Cathy Sara, David Burke, Victor McGuire, and Lucy May Barker. James Watkins (Eden Lake) is at the directorial helm with a screenplay by Jane Goldman.

The Woman in Black follows a young lawyer, Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe), who is ordered to travel to a remote corner of the UK and sort out a recently deceased client’s papers. As he works alone in an old and isolated house, Kipps begins to uncover its tragic secrets, and his unease grows when he discovers that the local village is held hostage by the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance.

Look for The Woman in Black in US theatres on February 3rd, 2012. The UK will be getting it on February 10th, 2012.

After first bringing the titular character to life in Andrew van den Houten's 2009 flick Offspring, Scottish actress Pollyanna McIntosh is back in co-writer/director Lucky McKee's hugely controversial sequel The Woman, which features the actress returning to square off against a demented family who capture her animalistic character in an effort to domesticate her.

As you can imagine, this does not go well, and soon The Woman must rise up against her captors and find freedom once again outside of their twisted little world.

Dread Central recently spoke with McIntosh, who discussed the controversy surrounding McKee's sequel as well as her initial concerns with some of the physical demands of the script and the director's clever treatment of the shocking material within the film's story.

We asked McIntosh her thoughts on returning to the role of The Woman in a sequel catered specifically for her brilliant performance three years prior now. "It's pretty wild, actually! It's hard to turn down a movie written specifically for you, that's for certain. Back when I did Offspring, I read Jack Ketchum's novel and was floored by his insight into the character and the detail about her thought process and her doctrine for living; he created such an amazing character, and to see where he and Lucky were able to take her in this movie was a remarkable gift to be given as an actress.

"Lucky has a great way of managing darkly comedic elements in horror films, and his work on The Woman really took his skills to an entirely new level," added McIntosh. "To me, it's his way of relieving the audience of the heightened tension he continuously builds throughout his story or even letting them in on 'the gag' so they get pulled deeper into his story. The Woman is the kind of character and story that is so ultimately ridiculous when you think about it that, if handled by the wrong storyteller, could be complete crap. Thankfully, Lucky knew exactly what he was doing."

Despite her enthusiasm for The Woman, McIntosh did admit she experienced some reservations of her own at first about McKee and Ketchum's disturbing portrait of the ideal 'American Family.'

The actress explained her initial apprehension, "You know, I did have some major concerns about the role the first time I read the script, but mainly that was over the fact that 90 percent of the movie involves me being tied up. In fact, every time you see me shackled up in The Woman, I'm really locked up, which can be a bit terrifying if you aren't mentally prepared for it. But the first time I chatted with Lucky about everything, we just connected so well that I soon got over those concerns, and I always had two guys next to me ready with the keys so if I needed to get out of the cuffs quickly, I could."

"I also know a lot of people had issues with the rape scene in particular, which is completely understandable- I didn't want to do a rape scene just for the sake of shocking viewers either. Rape is a terrible thing, and I think the way Lucky handled it, without being exploitative, was brilliant. In fact, I've had a lot of women come up to me during our festival run and share with me their own personal stories of abuse and how they appreciated the way we treated it in The Woman, which I think speaks volumes far more than those complaining about our 'shocking' movie that goes too far."

"I think there are a lot of people out there who believe that just because you make a movie that explores really dark and disturbing issues like we do in The Woman, that you are that kind of person or it's an extension of the director's personality, which is just ludicrous. Lucky celebrates women with his movies; he doesn't exploit them, and anyone who missed that while watching this film really didn't understand the story at all," added McIntosh.

Welcome to the first Top 10 list of 2012! In celebration of the off-kilter weirdness that is the upcoming release of the anthology film The Theater Bizarre, we bring you a list of other movies that stand out from the crowd. We at Dread Central proudly give you, in chronological order, 10 of the most groundbreaking horror films of all time. Enjoy...

It's difficult to name just 10 groundbreaking horror films because so many of them have led the way for things to follow. There are plenty of films in the genre that trailblazed: Very early entries like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari set the tone for things to come. Early slashers like Black Christmas and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre certainly inspired legions of filmmakers. The first entries of powerhouse franchises could be considered groundbreakers as well by introducing new icons... Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street and Saw all paved the way for incredibly lucrative franchises. And some films opened the doors to new sub-genres like Alien for mainstream sci-fi/horror and Hostel for the unfortunately nicknamed "torture porn" sub-genre.

You could argue a spot for any of those films on the Top 10 Groundbreaking Films list, but this is what we came up with. Please feel free to comment below, or give us your own Top 10 Groundbreaking Horror Films.

Nosferatu (1922)
Directed by FW Murnau

When he couldn't secure the rights to use the name Dracula, FW Murnau simply renamed everything from Bram Stoker's book and created this historic film. He named the movie Nosferatu and then was brilliant enough to find Max Schreck to play Count Orlock (Dracula) in a role that would influence vampire films for decades. Nosferatu took the first step for the vampire sub-genre which would run from Bela Lugosi to Robert Pattinson. From Christopher Lee to Alexander Skarsgaard. Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, even Eddie Murphy all portrayed vampires that can trace the inspiration for their performance back to Murnau, Schreck and Nosferatu. It's difficult, if not impossible, to turn on a television and not be able to find some kind of program or film which doesn't contain a vampire, and it all started right here.

Frankenstein (1931)
Directed by James Whale

Although Frankenstein certainly deserves a spot on this list, this film is also a representative selection as you could include so many of the classic movie monsters here. King Kong, Dracula, The Wolf Man, The Phantom of the Opera and the Mummy were all iconic characters that led the way in horror. Frankenstein, however, stuck out as the most memorable of this remarkable group. Also adapted from a classic piece of literature, Frankenstein was, of course, based on Mary Shelley's book. The film contained grave-robbing, torture of the monster and the murder of a child. Pretty heavy stuff for the early '30s. It's funny to think that so many of today's cartoonish Halloween decorations were actually inspired by this beast constructed from the rotting pieces of other corpses. An iconic figure that may be the most recognized monster of all time, Frankenstein is a true original piece of artwork that is a rightfully part of the United States National Film Registry.

Freaks (1932)
Directed by Tod Browning

Any time you can grab a video of a guy with no arms and no legs rolling and lighting his own cigarette, it's advisable that you do it. It almost sounds like a setup for a joke... What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs who smokes? Hack. (*rim shot*) In all seriousness, Browning's film, which is also in the US Film Registry, was legendary for bypassing all the inconveniences of having to create circus freaks using F/X and just went out and hired actual circus performers. Kind of like the original reality TV. Having worked at a sideshow in his youth, Browning was familiar with the atmosphere and the composition of the performers and put that into his work. He obviously held the circus freaks in high regard as in his film he portrayed them as heroes and "normal" people as the antagonists. Freaks is unforgettable for its absolutely remarkable cast, the likes of which has never been assembled again. A truly unique film that opened doors and pushed the limits of what was "acceptable" to show on film. Gabba, gabba, hey!

Psycho (1960)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock

Directed by a true master filmmaker and promoter, Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho was not only an amazing piece of filmmaking, but it was marketed brilliantly. Hitchcock kept everything about Psycho under tight wraps to be sure the film's secret stayed a secret. Reviewers were not even allowed early screenings for fear the shocking ending would be leaked. And this was before file sharing and SOPA! The shower scene was like nothing audiences had seen before. (Also, viewers had never had the opportunity to see a toilet on the big screen either, but Psycho fixed that as well!) Often credited as the first slasher film and said to inspire later films to use more gore, Psycho (also on the US National Film Registry) was acted, directed and sold to the public in brilliant fashion. An inspiration for horror creators on the same level that Black Sabbath is an inspiration to metal bands, everything goes back to this.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)
Directed by George A. Romero

This landmark film did nothing less than define the modern zombie as we know it today. Even though the beasts in the film were referred to as ghouls, the shuffling, shambling undead invading that Pennsylvania farmhouse were the direct ancestors of all the zombies we have today. Think about the massive amounts of entertainment revolving around the modern zombie - television series, comics, web series, feature films and shorts - and that's not even counting all the zombie-themed events we participate in socially, like zombie walks and zombie pub crawls. These all look back and trace their roots to the one and only Night of the Living Dead. This is another one that is enshrined in the US National Film Registry. It simply influenced a massive amount of entertainment. Thanks to Romero and his creative vision and determination, zombies went from slaves of voodoo witch doctors to the flesh-craving nightmares we know and love today.

The Last House on the Left (1972)
Directed by Wes Craven

This was a tough one. This spot was a complete toss-up between The Last House on the Left and I Spit on Your Grave. Both of these films featured incredibly intense violence and brutal rape scenes. I Spit on Your Grave seems to possess a bit more of a recognizable name amongst casual fans, but finally The Last House on the Left made the list because it was released five years earlier and was the film in which Wes Craven introduced himself to the horror universe. Although the tension is cut with a bit of humor, The Last House on the Left is an assault on the viewer. The sadistic torture of the victims brings a heaviness to the film that is only slightly alleviated when the family eventually gets revenge on the killers. Last House is another film that opened doors for violence and F/X at the cinema. They set the bar so high in cruelty that it would be very difficult to top, but they inspired many to try.

The Exorcist (1973)
Directed by William Friedkin

It seems like every exorcism film that comes to theaters earns big money. And why is that? Why did The Last Exorcism and The Exorcism of Emily Rose and The Devil Inside all earn millions at the box office? The answer is simple... The Exorcist. These other films made huge amounts of money for one reason: All the viewers were hoping for another film like William Friedkin's masterpiece. We go to see exorcism movies because we know they can be really scary. We've seen it done before and keep hoping someone can do it again. Unfortunately, no one has ever even approached the power and unadulterated ability to cripple viewers with fright as The Exorcist. Even after nearly 40 years, many feel it's the scariest film of all time. Will any film ever achieve the combination of sheer brilliant filmmaking with unbridled terror as The Exorcist did? It's a lofty goal to strive for. It was the highest grossing film of all-time for one year... that is, until our next film swam into the picture.

Jaws (1975)
Directed by Steven Spielberg

When Jaws was released in 1975, several things happened. The world was put on notice that Steven Spielberg might be a name to keep an eye on in the future as the film would go on to be the highest grossing movie of all time (and hold the title for two years until Star Wars wrestled it away). But how Jaws became such a huge earner is what's important. Responding to positive early screenings, filmmakers launched an all-out blanket campaign for the film with a larger than initially planned number of theaters releasing Jaws, as well as a massive marketing campaign to go with it. Behind the strength of this, Jaws basically became the first film which could be considered a "summer blockbuster", reshaping the way studios looked at distribution. And aside from that Jaws scared the shit out of people, and not just in the ocean; people were (hell, are) uneasy about swimming in pools after seeing the classic film. Jaws was a rare treat that took an innate fear, toyed with it and turned it into a nightmare. A look at any new release video shelf will undoubted offer the sight of plenty of films that followed in the steps of the "animal attack" sub-genre of horror, each of them certainly inspired in some way by the grandfather of them all, Jaws.

Halloween (1978)
Directed by John Carpenter

If Psycho could be considered the first slasher film, Halloween has to be thought of as the film that molded the sub-genre into what we know it as today. Where Normal Bates killed for a very specific reason, Michael Myers needed none. Yes, Black Christmas came earlier, but Halloween gave us a name and a character to haunt us. Carpenter used our fears of unknowingly being watched and wove them expertly into the film. And then he unleashed Michael Myers on the unsuspecting people of Haddonfield. As the film rolls on, we become terrified and enthralled by the character (as you should with any great villain). Carpenter helped set the rules of horror with this film and even showed future directors how to set up for a killer sequel. The films inspired by Halloween, one of the most successful indie films of all time, are countless. This film drew up the slasher blueprint which would be adapted and adjusted to fit so many movies which came afterward. Fans of the sub-genre know exactly where to look when talking of the original.

The Blair Witch Project (1999)
Directed by Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez

Fans of horror may be looking at this list and saying, "Okay, Nosferatu. Good one. Psycho. Yeah, I agree with that one... Wait. What! The Blair Witch Project?! How does that get on this list?" Here's how: The Blair Witch Project was a groundbreaking film in a number of ways, the first being its first-person/found footage style. The technique was used in Cannibal Holocaust, but obviously Blair Witch was the film that inspired the current craze. The thought is, of course, that if you feel you're watching actual footage of an event or incident, it's that much more chilling than a produced movie. Whatever your personal opinion on that style may be, we can't discount the fact that The Blair Witch Project had a huge hand in the popularity it now possesses. But even more important than the way The Blair Witch Project was shot was the way it was marketed. Virally. Blair Witch became a huge success because a lot of the audience wasn't actually sure if they were watching a production or actual found footage because of what they had read on the Internet. Additionally "The Curse of the Blair Witch," a companion piece to the film, aired on the Sci-Fi Channel on July 11, three weeks before the film was released, creating even more uncertainty amongst viewers as to whether what they were watching was production or actual found footage. The Blair Witch Project's filming style and marketing approach ushered in two huge changes to the horror genre, and cinema as a whole, indeed making it a truly groundbreaking work.

From the Press Release

But for some it’s the perfect target to expose our nation’s vulnerability to attack – as well as expose potentially deadly secrets kept from its citizens. It’s only a matter of time...

Anchor Bay Entertainment begins The Terror Experiment April 10th on Blu-ray™ and DVD. Directed by George Mendeluk and featuring an all-star cast including Jason London (Out Cold, Dazed and Confused), C. Thomas Howell (E.T. The Extraterrestrial, The Hitcher, The Outsiders, Camel Spiders), Alicia Leigh Willis (“7th Heaven”, “The L Word”, “General Hospital”), Lochlyn Munro (Freddy vs. Jason, White Chicks, Scary Movie), and Alexander Mendeluk (Twilight and Twilight: New Moon) with Robert Carradine (“Lizzie McGuire,” Revenge of the Nerds franchise) and Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo’s Fire, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back), The Terror Experiment will take viewers on a pulse-pounding journey through a towering hell above Earth and into an inferno of unstoppable thrills!

Another road trip has gone awry for some weary travelers who thoughtlessly pick up a little girl lost, and we've got several new stills on tap to show you just how bad things can get when you try being a good Samaritan! Dig it!

Directed by Rustam Branaman, The Culling stars Jeremy Sumpter, Elizabeth Di Prinzio, Brett Davern, Chris Coy, Linsey Godfrey, Virginia Williams, Johnathon Schaech, and Harley Graham.

From the Press Release
The Culling has recently completed production, and this action thriller blends mystery and the supernatural to tragic effect. Produced by Safady Entertainment (Machine Gun Preacher) and Silver Lining Media group, The Culling introduces a young girl who beckons a group of college students to a supernatural trap. In her eerie home a mysterious man, her father, and her mother (Virginia Williams) await them with cruel intentions. The film was helmed by actor and director Rustam Branaman (Project Solitude) in what is sure to be one of the best horror films of 2012!

The tension continues when this group of friends including Emily (Elizabeth Di Prinzio, The Devil Within), Tyler (Jeremy Sumpter, Peter Pan), Sean (Brett Davern, MTV’s “Awkward”), Hank (Chris Coy, Hostel: Part III), and Amanda (Linsey Godfrey) find Lucy alone and lost in a parking lot. They all agree to drive her home and find her parents.

But what they do not realize is that Lucy’s parents have something in store for this small group. Method actor Schaech knows how to terrify the characters with just a look, a grimace, or a shout; and when characters begin to disappear, the true terror begins! This is a fear inducing thriller with an excellent cast that will lure audiences in to something unforgettable.

Elizabeth Di Prinzio also gives a hint of director Rustam Branaman’s directing style: Tthe great thing that Rustam did with this film is staying clear of the slasher and gore part of a ‘horror’ genre film and he shifted towards a feeling of uncomfortability and fear.” Di Prinzio also provides film trivia buffs something to savor: ”The house we shot at was the same house that The Last Exorcism was filmed at.” This is a scary real life abode that strangely draws horror films to it like a moth to a flame.

The Culling comes from a long line of supernatural thrillers that use a haunted location to bring an eerie vibe to audiences. Films like Spider Baby (1968), The Amityville Horror (1979), and Poltergeist (1982) defined the modern era of the haunted house style of film with surreal aspects of filmmaking and mystery. Meanwhile, the Paranormal Activity series of films continue to redefine what is truly terrifying when you are trapped with a spirit in a small and confining space. The Culling will further shape this sub-genre by both building tension through what is not seen and removing characters not deemed worthy by a strange family. After all, the viewer's imagination knows few limits, and The Culling will test viewer's limits and ability to withstand horror with a terrifying release scheduled for late 2012.

Synopsis
Five friends head out of town for road trip to a summer concert.

When they arrive at her house, it’s quickly apparent they will have to stay for the night.

What is not is foreseen is the evil nightmare they are about to encounter.

When Steve Niles (Criminal Macabre, 30 Days of Night) premiered artwork from his upcoming collaboration with artist Menton3 (Monocyte, Proof: Endangered, Crawl to Me) via his Twitter feed, speculation and anticipation spread like wildfire across the Internet. Now Dark Horse has announced that this new vampiric tale will premiere in an upcoming Dark Horse Presents!

Synopsis:
The Black Plague was a time of death and misery ... except for the undead. For vampires the Black Death was a welcome relief from being hunted and a time of incredible growth for the undead. On the night of their wedding, two vampire lovers are torn apart and separated for five hundred years, setting off a sequence of events that will bring the modern world to its knees!

“I haven’t been this excited about working on something in a long time. Menton3 is the perfect artist, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be doing this at Dark Horse,” Niles said. “This year I’m making a big push to become 100 percent creator owned. Nosferatu Wars will be a big part of that, I hope.”

Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith redefined the vampire genre with the groundbreaking comic series 30 Days of Night in 2002. Ten years later Niles is poised to make history again as he and Menton3 blow the sparkle off of the undead in Nosferatu Wars, premiering in Dark Horse Presents later this year!

Having already premiered at the Slamdance 2012 Film Festival, which is happening opposite Sundance, Chiller TV's next original production, Brian Keene's Ghoul, has landed itself a release date! Read on!

Chiller announced today that the film will air on April 13th. Check your local listings.

Directed by Greg Wilson and penned by William M. Miller, the adaptation stars Nolan Gould ("Modern Family") and acting vet Barry Corbin (No Country for Old Men, "The Closer"). Wilson also directed Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door.

The feature is part of Chiller's new original productions. The film was produced by MODERNCINÉ's Andrew van den Houten (The Woman, The Girl Next Door) and Robert Tonino.

Synopsis:
Based on the novel by Brian Keene, Ghoul centers on a group of young friends who risk their lives to stop who — or what — is behind a handful of disappearances in their town.

The first still from Ben Wheatley's latest film, Sightseers, is here, and as the title would imply, it's pretty damned beautiful to look at. Ah, Mother Nature. You sexy bitch!

Actors Alice Lowe and Steve Oram wrote the script with additional material from Amy Jump. StudioCanal will distribute in the UK, and Protagonist Pictures handles international sales.

Katherine Butler, Film4 Senior Commissioning Executive, called the film "hilariously twisted" while Lizzie Francke, Senior Production Executive at BFI Film Fund, added: "'Sightseers' takes us on a bizarre journey through some of Britain's most offbeat tourist destinations."

Synopsis
Chris (Steve Oram) wants to show Tina (Alice Lowe) his world, and he wants to do it his way - on a journey through the British Isles in his beloved Abbey Oxford Caravan. Tina's led a sheltered life, and there are things that Chris needs her to see - the Crich Tramway Museum, the Ribblehead Viaduct, the Keswick Pencil Museum and the rolling countryside that separates these wonders in his life. But it doesn't take long for the dream to fade. Litterbugs, noisy teenagers and pre-booked caravan sites, not to mention Tina's meddling mother, soon conspire to shatter Chris' dreams and send him, and anyone who rubs him up the wrong way, over a very jagged edge...

It may not be the most popular view in town, but we are really enjoying the second season of Syfy's "Being Human" as so far it's bringing the perfect mix of horror and dark comedy to the small screen. Today we have a preview and sneak peek clip from the upcoming Episode 2.03, "All Out of Blood", to share.

"Being Human" Episode 2.03 "All Out of Blood" (1/30/12 Air Date):
Josh and Nora (Kristen Hager) confront their first werewolf change together. Aidan is shocked to discover a secret from his new girlfriend Julia's (Natalie Brown) past.

In the clip we see Josh, Nora, and Sally in a vacant storage unit where they discuss the location for their next werewolf transformation. Josh's plan for them to be videotaped during the process has Nora skeptical, but he assures Nora that he's only trying his best to find out how they both can be treated and be cured from this werewolf disease.

In "Being Human" leading normal lives is a lot harder than it looks for three roommates – vampire Aidan (Sam Witwer), ghost Sally (Meaghan Rath), and werewolf Josh (Sam Huntington) – who share their secrets and a Boston brownstone. In Season 2 the three continue to struggle with their supernatural double lives and discover that temptation truly is a beast! Sally learns how to take over the body of others and slowly becomes addicted, Josh is still learning how to control his rage and still has Nora to account for, and Aidan doesn’t quite know how to deal with becoming the new leader of Boston.

Executive Producers are Michael Prupas, Adam Kane, Jeremy Carver and Anna Fricke (both of whom are also writers/showrunners), Rob Pursey, and Toby Whithouse. Irene Litinsky is Producer.
