The brainchild of Slither's James Gunn and Peter Safran of Scary Movie infamy, the film series has a number of notable directors on board, including James Wan (Saw), David Slade (30 Days of Night), Lucky McKee (The Woods), Andrew Douglas (The Amityville Horror) and Marcus Nispel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre). With each itching to trade in their bloody hatchets for hilarious, madcap antics, with now look forward to the filmmakers' unique take on what promises to be sidesplitting comedy.

This would have potential if they actually got some good horror directors, but the only one of those announced that has any (arguable) talent is Lucky McKee. If they had John Carpenter, Takashi Miike and David Cronenberg, then maybe it'd be worth a look. Hell, even Eli Roth could probably turn out something amusing for this.

It's a crime to associate Lucky McKee with "The Woods" over "May".

But May doesn't have Bruce Campbell in it, does it?

Well, at least Tromeo and Juliet's James Gunn is up to the task.

Hard Candy was a pretty good movie. David Slade isn't a bad director, I'd like to see what he pulls out of his sleeve here. As well as Andrew Douglas.

I realize this is a gaming website and the Xbox 360's main "thing" is gaming, but seriously, I wouldn't mind Microsoft expanding on it's media center abilities. I only really use my ps3 for storing and viewing videos.

I don't know you but I thought Saw was pretty funny.

I find most horror movies to be hilarious at times, so this sounds promising. And I'm not speaking of unintentional hilarity. James Gunn himself is a very funny guy. However, Hard Candy WAS NOT funny at all.
