Bloody-Disgusting has first look of Roth-produced Cotton; feels soft

Bloody-Disgusting recently posted a few pictures of Eli Roth's (Hostel, Cabin Fever) new production, Cotton. The details were unveiled at the American Film Market, and a trailer was even glimpsed by B-D. Cotton is being directed by Daniel Stamm (A Necessary Death) and is billed as a cross between The Exorcist and Cloverfield.

I don't know about everyone else, but I am significantly stoic on this film. I enjoy most of Roth's output (Hostel II being the exception), and though I've never seen A Necessary Death, I've heard good things. The pictures B-D posted look pretty nice as well, and it seems as though the Roth and Stamm are going for the creepy contortions of possessed people that make people squirm. But I'm not buying the originality of the film's premise here - we're already being bombarded with documentary-style films, what with Paranormal Activity recently hitting the screen, The Fourth Kind releasing this weekend, and REC2 on its way soon.

Only time will tell, but first impressions of Cotton - a moderately successful flick with minor scares and shaky camerawork that will extend the fascination with documentary horror but will fail to please anyone looking for something more original. Don't quote me, though.

Overall, I'm feeling very let down by most, if not all, of the upcoming horror releases, with most being remakes, sequels, or vampire movies (ugh). The most I'm looking forward to is the new NOES remake, and even that is just out of curiousity as to whether it will suck as bad as I think it will. How do you feel about the state of horror?

Thanks to Bloody-Disgusting for news and pictures.
