DTA officials try to figure out what has happened to cause several deaths in their jurisdiction, to no avail— until a young, bright-eyed agent volunteers to go under cover under upsetting circumstances. Cut to the introduction of Big Daddy and his unique “family”, which consists of three women—Lola, Lenora and Laura—and quiet farm hand Jimmy, all of whom help him produce his potent strain of marijuana for distribution in the city. Big Daddy’s family is intertwined with several unusual characters in their small town, where the townspeople also consider Big Daddy to be a patriarchal figure in the community. The trouble for Big Daddy begins when his clan makes a delivery to the DTA’s newest CI. Meanwhile, the DTA is in internal turmoil while trying to get a lead on Big Daddy’s elusive group. The rogue agent who has gone undercover is unprepared for what the undercover mission means, and she swiftly and finds herself in trouble within only a few days of her arrival on the farm. The DTA’s struggle to take down Big Daddy’s ring is more difficult than they ever could have imagined when they realize the close-knit town community is unwilling to help in the investigation. The DTA’s authority is questioned as they begin to throw accusations around about the town’s favorite citizen. 4 SYNOPSIS GENRE TAGLINE Grindhouse / Action “Pack it tight.” LOGLINE As the government starts to come SHORT down on pot distributors around SYNOPSIS the country, a marijuana farmer With the pressure of the DTA will go to any lengths to protect his government agency coming down family. on pot distributors around the country, an unconventional family must do whatever it takes to keep their crop safe.

And he’ll do anything to protect it. 5 FEATURED CAST Sid Haig as Big Daddy Tall, bald and nearly always bearded, Sid Haig has provided hulking menace to many a low-budget exploitation film and high-priced action film. In 1992, Sid, fed up with being typecast, retired from acting and quoted, "I'll never play another stupid heavy again, and I don't care if that means that I never work, ever." In 1997 Quentin Tarantino wrote the part of the judge in Jackie Brown (1997) for Sid. During the mid and late 1990s, Sid ran a community theater company, as well as dabbled occasionally in theater in Los Angeles. In 2000, Sid came out of his self-imposed retirement at the request of Rob Zombie for a part in Zombie's debut film House of 1000 Corpses (2003). He starred as the fun-loving, but murderous, Captain Spaulding. This role breathed new life into Sid's acting career and earned him an award for Best Supporting Actor in the 13th Annual Fangoria Chainsaw Awards, as well as an induction into the Horror Hall of Fame. Captain Spaulding has since become the icon for the new horror genre. Sid has recently enjoyed success as Captain Spaulding once again in The Devil's Rejects (2005).

Born the last of ten children to an Irish immigrant mother and a Spanish immigrant father, Joe was raised in Dayton Ohio to be a factory worker but he had other plans for himself, and two hundred and thirty some films later Joe feels his decision was correct. For most actors the road is never easy, but through perseverance, faith and talent Joe has become an accomplished actor, and in Hollywood today he is one of the busiest actors for one reason: He is one of the best at what he does. Joe can be seen weekly on the T.V. series "Hollywood Joe" and as the host of the critically acclaimed Faith Film Festival in N.Y.C. And if you want to read about Joe, pick up a copy of his book "Wiping off the Sheen".

Big, brawny and imposing, with an enormous face, gigantic jaw, and a massive, muscular physique, the hulking 6'2" Z'Dar projected a strong, aggressive, and intimidating screen presence that was ideally suited for the steady succession of mean, nasty, and extremely scary larger- than-life villains he often portrayed throughout a career that spanned over three decades. Robert Z’Dar died of cardiac arrest at age 64 on March 30, 2015.

Revenue is also the most important and intuitionistic feedback to producers, directors and actors. Therefore it is worth for us to put effort on analyzing what factors correlate to revenue, so that producers, directors and actors know how to get higher revenue on next movie by focusing on most correlated factors. Our project focuses on anaylzing all kinds of factors that correlated to revenue, for example, genres, elements in the movie, popularity, release month, runtime, vote average, vote count on website and cast etc. After analysis, we can clearly know what are the crucial factors to a movie's revenue and our analysis can be used as a guide for people shooting movies who want to earn higher renveue for their next movie. They can focus on those most correlated factors, for example, shooting specific genre and hire some actors who have higher average revenue. Reasrch Question: Various factors blend together to create a high revenue for movie, but what are the most important aspect contribute to higher revenue? What aspects should people put more effort on and what factors should people focus on when they try to higher the revenue of a movie? http://localhost:8888/nbconvert/html/Desktop/MyProjects/Pr_085/FinalProject.ipynb?download=false Page 1 of 62 FinalProject 25/08/2018, 930 PM Hypothesis: We predict that the following factors contribute the most to movie revenue.

THE SOUTH ACCORDING TO QUENTIN TARANTINO A Thesis presented in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture The University of Mississippi by MICHAEL LEE HENLEY August 2015 Copyright Michael Lee Henley 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT This thesis explores the filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s portrayal of the South and southerners in his films Pulp Fiction (1994), Death Proof (2007), and Django Unchained (2012). In order to do so, it explores and explains Tarantino’s mixture of genres, influences, and filmmaking styles in which he places the South and its inhabitants into current trends in southern studies which aim to examine the South as a place that is defined by cultural reproductions, lacking authenticity, and cultural distinctiveness. Like Godard before him, Tarantino’s movies are commentaries on film history itself. In short, Tarantino’s films actively reimagine the South and southerners in a way that is not nostalgic for a “southern way of life,” nor meant to exploit lower class whites.

  • The Contemporary American Horror Film Remake, 2003-2013
    RE-ANIMATED: THE CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN HORROR FILM REMAKE, 2003-2013 Thesis submitted by Laura Mee In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2014 Abstract This doctoral thesis is a study of American horror remakes produced in the years 2003-2013, and it represents a significant academic intervention into an understanding of the horror remaking trend. It addresses the remaking process as one of adaptation, examines the remakes as texts in their own right, and situates them within key cultural, industry and reception contexts. It also shows how remakes have contributed to the horror genre’s evolution over the last decade, despite their frequent denigration by critics and scholars. Chapter One introduces the topic, and sets out the context, scope and approach of the work. Chapter Two reviews the key literature which informs this study, considering studies in adaptation, remaking, horror remakes specifically, and the genre more broadly. Chapter Three explores broad theoretical questions surrounding the remake’s position in a wider culture of cinematic recycling and repetition, and issues of fidelity and taxonomy. Chapter Four examines the ‘reboots’ of one key production company, exploring how changes are made across versions even as promotion relies on nostalgic connections with the originals. Chapter Five discusses a diverse range of slasher film remakes to show how they represent variety and contribute to genre development. Chapter Six considers socio-political themes in 1970s horror films and their contemporary post-9/11 remakes, and Chapter Seven focuses on gender representation and recent genre trends in the rape-revenge remake.

Hall Associate Professor of Film and Video *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT The overbearing effects of Hollywood continue to blur the lines of distinction between national and global cinema, leaving scholars to wonder whether the latter type of cinema has since trumped the former. This thesis explores the depths of this perplexity by looking at the cultural differences in post-1990s horror films from three countries: the United States, Japan, and Italy. Scholarship on women in horror films continues to focus on the feminist sensitivities, without the slightest regard for possible cultural specificities, within the horror genre. This, in turn, often collapses the study of women in horror films into a transnational genre, thereby contributing to the perception of a dominant global cinema. Therefore, it is the aim of the author to look at three culturally-specific subgenres of the horror film to explore their differences and similarities.

  • Selling the Splat Pack: the Dvd Revolution and the American Horror Film
    SELLING THE SPLAT PACK: THE DVD REVOLUTION AND THE AMERICAN HORROR FILM Mark Bernard A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Dr. Cynthia Baron, Advisor Dr. Scott A. Magelssen Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Paul McDonald Dr. Maisha Wester ii ABSTRACT Dr. Cynthia Baron, Advisor In 2006, journalists began writing about the emergence of a group of young filmmakers who specialized in horror films featuring torture and graphic violence. Because of their gory and bloody movies, these directors came to be known as “the Splat Pack,” and they were depicted by the press as subversive outsiders rebelling against the Hollywood machine. However, what many discussions of the Splat Pack ignore is how the success of this group of directors was brought about and enabled by the industrial structure of Hollywood at the middle of the first decade of the twenty-first century. Drawing from political economy methodology, this study seeks to understand and illuminate the industrial changes and realignments that gave rise to the Splat Pack, first by looking at how industrial changes have affected the content of horror films of the past, and secondly by examining how the advent of DVD technology made way for the gory, “Unrated” films of the Splat Pack. DVD played a major role in the rise of the Splat Pack by changing the way horror films were presented to their potential audiences and by leading to an industry acceptance of “Unrated” films. With this in mind, this study then turns to an analysis of several key films directed by the Splat Pack and uses the commodity form of the DVD as a lens through which to interpret these films.

Exploitation Cinema and the Lesbian Imagination 1 Exploitation Cinema and the Lesbian Imagination Anne Crémieux At the heart of the exploitation movie is the issue of the destructive nature of female sexuality (Zalcock, 2001, 59) 1 The sexism and homophobia of most exploitation films is unmistakable. Lesbian vampires and gay hitchhikers are obviously meant to be warnings against homosexuality. Yet to modern audiences no longer worried about the once very real fears that would turn into very real rejection, such camp storylines can now be enjoyed as pure fantasy and even convey a form of empowerment. 1 After all, the hitchhikers in Vanishing Point (Richard C. Sarafian, 1971) may be slimy hijackers, but they are also unashamedly flamboyant on their way to San Francisco with their broken-down car that says “just married,” and they carry a gun in case somebody does not like it.

Horror & Suspense Movies 'Creature' Movie Review About.com Rating Be the first to write a review By Mark H. Harris, About.com Guide Creature1 is a little independent film with a big appetite, a small gator in a big pond seeking to make a splash outside the studio system2 by engineering a wide theatrical release without the benefit of studio distribution. But as impressive as the behind- the-scenes wrangling is, is the movie itself good enough to deserve such wide exposure? The Plot Six 20-something tourists -- Niles (Mehcad Brooks), his girlfriend Emily (Serinda Swan), Emily's brother Randy (Aaron Hill), Randy's girlfriend Beth (Amanda Fuller), and brother and sister Oscar (Dillon Casey) and Karen (Lauren Schneider) -- decide to take the scenic route through rural Louisiana on their way to party in New Orleans. They stop for gas in Fort Collins, a small town hit hard by economic © The Bubble Factory depression, sink holes and the legend of Lockjaw, a half-man, half-gator that supposedly roams the nearby swamps. According to legend, Lockjaw was a man named Grimley (Daniel Bernhardt) whose true love (and sister; these are backwoods folk) was killed by a white alligator. Grimley went crazy, hunted the animal down, killed it and then proceeded to eat every bit of meat (including human) it had stored in its lair. Somehow that experience transformed the man into the object of his hatred, and ever since then, the humanoid Lockjaw has stalked the swamps, searching for both food and a bride.

Gold Date Executive Officer THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK Abstract THE AMERICAN MONSTER by Dara Gross Advisor: Professor Amy Herzog Before the 1960s, American horror is primarily focused on gothic creatures, aliens, and mutated animals. A major change occurs in the 1960s when humans become the monster, reflecting the violence and social upheaval in the United States during that decade. As America continues to change in the coming decades, the human monster undergoes multiple transformations. First is the lone psychopath, popular during the 1960s and seen in films such as Psycho (1960) and Homicidal (1961).
