Tonight we find the On The Lot Contestants filming in the Horror Genre. You'll have to forgive me if this recap sounds slightly disjointed. In the past I've had terrible nightmares watching horror films - and these were really hard for me to watch!

Last Week was the comedy round � where six of the Directors screened their movies. Adriana Costa and Gary Marshal shared the bad news at the Contestants house. Leaving The Lot is: David May. Costa revealed that Will had the MOST votes this week.

Guest Judge: "The future of Horror" - director of Cabin Fever - Eli Roth


This week's Directors are:

Kenny - It seemed that Kenny had trouble communicating his vision to his team. Malibu Myth - the story of two friends trying to solve a myth. The mystery of what happened to three college students when they drove down on Canyon Road and were never seen again. After researching the story, the friends decide to go to the location and check it out themselves. They come across a dead body laying across the road and get out of their car to investigate. Two mutant dead people jump out from under the car and chase the couple. They start to feed on the couple - and finish the story by adding to the myth on the womans laptop.

Carrie Fisher: That was your most accessible film for me. I thought it was good!

Eli Roth: I thought you did a good job. One of the hardest things to nail in this type of film is tone and mood, and you really really did it. It had a lot of originality.

Gary Marshal: I usually prefer indoor scary movie -your monsters were really good, the tempo was good and it scared me.

Sam - Ankle Biters - a boy encounters a strange creature in his bedroom. Working with a puppet was harder than it seemed. Is it cheesy bad - or scary funny? Reminiscent of Gremlins, the movie opens with a storyteller warning of new species being introduced to the world. A young boy attempts to sleep - realizes the creature crawling up his bed is not his dog. The creature bites his ankle, the kid dances around the room and shakes it off his foot, then runs towards his mothers room for help. The creature chases him down the hallway and bites again. We flash to an ambulance taking the boy away, and the police are on scene investigating. The ankle biter has the last word!

CF: I believed the puppet - you did very well - good gore. With the prologue it was a whole other movie. But I thought it was really good.

ER: I think the best part - it was great - the attack was fantastic and that's the best thing. But the prologue gives everything away - and that's the problem with it. Overall you did a really nice job.

GM: I love horror movies where the person is alone. Solitude is very dangerous because your passions turn into monsters in the darkness of your mind. {Euripides said that} I thought really that you scared me. I thought you made a very solid film.

Andrew - Midnight Snack - horror first, comedy second. A woman wakes up and heads to the kitchen for a midnight snack. Little does she know a monster roams the house at night. Lighting flashes down the hallway as the woman walks to the kitchen, and we see words painted in blood. The woman reaches into the fridge, grabs her snack materials and begins to prepare her feast. She reaches for a jar from a cupboard, and a second monster reaches out trying to grab her. She slams the cupboard without seeing him. Freaky - scary chick is hanging out in the living room - the woman bends down to pick something up - and BAM - she's there {I scream! I did mention I hate horror films - right?} The scary chick creeps up to the woman, the woman turns {I squeal again} and stares the woman in the face. There's a dramatic pause before the woman asks "Where's The Remote?" A creature in the couch hands it to her, and scary chick retreats in defeat. We end the scene on a surprise note!

CF: I really liked it - it wasn't horror so much as Rocky Horror. It was really entertaining.

ER: It's very difficult to do comedy in a horror. It's well shot, and competently done. You could see it coming a mile away.

GM: I'm a sucker for comedy in anything. I wish the final scene had ended where we saw what she was watching on TV. Andrew defends himself by saying � "My music cues, and all of my music were not in this screening. So I had a whole entire soundtrack that was missing - so I." Andrew almost seems upset that it was missing - which tells me he wasn't aware it was being left out.

Jason - Eternal Waters - working with twin child actors seems to be a big concern for Jason this week - as the twins had reservations of shooting in a coffin filled with water. The story is of a mother dreaming of her sons death in a pool - she opens the coffin and sees him laying in a pool of water and his eyes flash open. She wakes startled and heads to the kitchen for a drink. She looks at the picture of her son, and sees him drowning once again. A dog barks in the yard, and a prowler breaks into the house with a knife. She runs towards her bedroom - the picture of her son falls to the floor and is now leaking water. The intruder creeps through the kitchen and slips and falls in the water. We see the son standing in his mothers room water streaming off of him - he looks at his mother and smiles. The killer fell on his own knife.

CF - I thought you did a great job - it's probably has the first really scary thing in a movie so far for me.

ER: I think the problem was the mother - you dressed her up as a teenager. It's hard to take her seriously as a mother. At the end - if you have an actor who's not getting there performance wise - don't shoot them in close up.

GM - I've got two words for you Sen-Sastional. I liked it very much - and - I think you're going to give everybody a nightmare including the kid you put in the casket.

Shira- Lee - this is her first Horror Film. Open House - a couple house hunting - and then something happens. This is more of a chiller and a psychological {?} film. We open with a man and a very pregnant woman walking into an open house. The realize that there's no one there to show the home - and they explore on their own. The woman walks into an upstairs nursery, and sees the ghost of a nanny in a rocking chair. The husband makes her sit while he gets a glass of water. The door slams behind the man, and the woman is left alone in the room with Nanny Ghost - who talks of another child that was lost in the house a long time ago. She tells the woman she's having a boy, and describes how the long ago boy - Sam - was killed in the nursery. She warns the woman to get out of the house NOW!. The couple flees .. when they reach the car the husband says "I've just got a name for our son � Samuel".

CF - I thought you got a good performance out of your actors. It didn't scare me that much. Ghosts during the day don't work for me -if I saw a ghost during the day I'd probably offer them a soda or something. I didn't think it really worked.

ER - If you're doing the daytime ghost - the grudge - there are long sequences where there is no music - this I felt you were continually forcing the music. That being said, I thought the Tag was really nice. I liked the end and thought that was done really well.

GM - The part that I like is that you didn't use a lot of gore. The thing that bothered me a little bit was there was no conflict. I think you should stick to comedy.

Mateen - It's gruesome, it's bloody, but it's REAL. Profile - a new twist on the horror genre. Everyday horror - the things that happen to everyday citizens - are what's more important to me than a fantasy. Mateen even goes so far as to advise his crew not to talk to the main character actor - in order to make him seem ostracized and better fit the role - give it more a sense of reality. We open with a police cruiser pulling over a driver for no apparent reason. The white officer asks the black driver for his license and registration. As he hands over the information, we flash to the man to the driver being beaten at the jail by several white officers. He attempts to get away - but they continue to beat him senseless. They wrap his head in plastic wrap till he suffocates - when a black officer walks in and finds him. They ask if he "wants in?" The black officer has to decide - do I help this man - or do I walk away? He walks away. The officers continue to torture the driver by dunking his head in the toilet. We flash again to the present - were we see the driver still in his car, and the black officer is tapping on his window.

CF - I though you got really good performances out of your actors, and it had a good look, but I really didn't understand what was going on in a way? As a story teller it didn't really work for me.

ER - The strength of this film is the performances. But with a subject matter this volatile it's easy to put a shocking image out but it's tough to shift that point of view to the audience. We get disconnected - you could have done more with the subject matter.

GM - i think with this subject matter -it's more horrifying than horror. I think more people to get engaged with this it needed to be more complex. It was very admirable and a very brave try, and I wish you luck.

Mateen responds -I just wanted to try and create drama - to take drama to a horror stand point. These things happen every day - I think everyone can relate to something horrible happening everyday and taking it to another level.

Roth replies with - I think the key is making it relatable. The shifting points of view makes us feel like we're watching some cop show instead.

Next week - our Directors all have to make movies based on the same theme - When Two Worlds Collide.
