Around 10 years ago, the movie industry cottoned on to a handy commercial use for this massive, messy but powerful thing they called The Internets: viral marketing. They realised that by harnessing the power of Google, the Blogosphere and, er, the Forumverse, anyone could successfully market a movie by spending next to nothing. Fake websites, videos, pictures, teasy snippets of information let loose in webspace created instant chatter and pre-release buzz. Join us then, as we look at the evolution of viral campaigns over the last decade - the successes, the failures and the 'What were they thinking!?

's We'll also flash a glimpse at campaigns set to ignite a geek near you sometime soon... 1. The Blair Witch Project (1999) Back in 1999, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez built on a successful Sundance debut by launching BlairWitch.com, perpetuating the idea that the events depicted in the film were real. Infectious? 2. Fight Club (1999) Viral Pieces: Video, Promotional Website. Infectious? 3. Film news and movie reviews. Raveable.com - hotel reviews without extra baggage. Kallow | Shop Simply. Gregsantos - Lunch. Women On Film - Women At Tribeca Film Festival - Katey Rich repo. For movies by, about, or for women, filmgoers at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival had no scarcity of options.

Among the women filmmakers presented at Tribeca 2009, two first feature directors debuted with stories about their own mothers, while another made a documentary and put her life in danger in the process, and a famous actress stepped behind the camera to continue the legacy of another female director. And, that’s just pointing to examples from among the filmmakers I interviewed during the 10-day festival.

Among 84 features screening during the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, 23 were directed by women. Several others– My Life in Ruins, the closing night film, as well as Seven Minutes in Heaven and the Best Documentary winner, Racing Dreams— featured dynamic and self-possessed women at the center of their stories. Some of the female Tribeca filmmakers were aiming to tell stories specifically about and for strong women. And what of the women onscreen? The House of the Devil | Film Review. The House of the Devil Review.

The House of the Devil may be a catchier, more horror-ific title, but really this little creepfest-that-could should've been called The Babysitter. That sounds generic, but considering how the events of the film's story unfold, it would be oh so appropriate. We don't want to give anything more away in that regard, though, so let's get down to it. Written, directed, and edited by Ti West, this movie is an old-school tension builder, slowly ratcheting up the anxieties of the audience who, of course, is fully aware that something bad is going to happen to lead character Samantha (Jocelin Donahue). The film takes its time getting to the badness, but it's never frustrating despite its terror-penny-pinching ways.

And when the truth is revealed and the horrible stuff starts to kick in, it happens quickly, skillfully, and rewardingly, menacing the viewer thoroughly and with an outburst of blood, screams, and revelations. House of the Devil- ShockTillYouDrop.Com. Coming soon! Cast: Jocelin Donahue as Samantha Tom Noonan as Mr. Ulman Mary Woronov as Mrs. Ulman Greta Gerwig as Megan A.J. Directed by Ti West Review: Spoiler free. The less one knows about Ti West’s The House of the Devil – its inferno of a finale, in particular – the better. Avoid YouTubing the trailer, which only tempts toggling back to pause on its almost subliminal flashes. Here’s what should be known about this wicked little film, which I caught at its sold-out Tribeca Film Festival premiere: this is old school, slow burn, psychological horror at its finest and freakiest. The set-up is simple, and the heroine’s plight one many can empathize with right now. What unfolds once Samantha is alone in the old dark house is an exercise in mood, atmosphere and mounting tension.

They don’t make ‘em like this anymore. No one in the cast approaches the material as “just a horror movie.” As Samantha, Jocelin Donahue carries the narrative with aplomb. 'The House of the Devil' Review - FEARNet. A college girl who desperately needs some income agrees to babysit in a giant creepy house, only to discover that she's been enticed there for nefarious means. Your reaction is this: Yawn. Seen it. My response? That's what’s so cool about Ti West's The House of the Devil. It's what we expect from horror films that Ti West loves to play with, and his latest (best) flick is a stripped-down, no-frills, effortlessly '70s-ish occult thriller that's in no real hurry to get to the mayhem.

Much of the flick consists of the ill-fated Samantha (Jocelin Donahue, delivering a great 'everygirl' performance) as she walks, wanders, and ponders her way through a house that's equal parts immense, eerie, and (eventually) awash in eeeevil. To his credit (especially in today's horror world), West is not as interested in the shocks and the scares as he is in the building of tension. Once the scary bits start flowing in full, one is unconsciously grateful for all that mood-setting foreplay.
