* I really like the new trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening, both because of the subject matter and because I admire the man’s chutzpah for including what in the ADD world of trailer editing have to be considered long takes. (Via Dread Central.)

* Bruce Baugh offers a thoughtful review of Eli Roth’s Hostel. I really appreciated his insights about the look of the film, the redeeming qualities of the American characters, the lingering effects of torture…just a wonderful analysis. Also worth reading is the comment thread where various people explain why they refuse to watch the film.

* Shock Till You Drop’s Ryan Rotten really liked Ryuhei Kitamura’s adaptation of Clive Barker’s Midnight Meat Train, which may be a good sign.

* Kevin Huizenga discusses the difficulty of making comics starring himself…in comic form!

* This week’s Horror Roundtable is about non-horror movies that hold their own in the horror department. It’s interesting to see the different directions people went with this.
