Attendance was down by 30 percent at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Not surprising, considering the recession still biting and Euro exchange rates keeping prices along the Croisette at ridiculously expensive levels. Yet the number of high-profile genre films in the Official Competition was a bonus for those more used to finding the most controversial entries up for distributor grabs in the Market section. While Park Chan-wook’s Thirst and Gaspar Noe’s Enter The Void certainly had their followers, with Terry Gilliam’s out-of-competition The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus a similar hot ticket, the two biggest stories were Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds and Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist.
Cinema saves the world in Tarantino’s disjointed, history-bending homage to war movies, which takes its misspelled name—but very little else—from Enzo Castellari’s 1978 Italian cult exploiter. Divided into chapters, each highlighting a movie style like Sergio Leone spaghetti Westerns,...

How disappointing! Don't you just hate when a movie is seemingly chock full of human prey, flesh eating predators, human evolution, and an unknowing research team lost in the Swiss Alps, but the title turns out to have an unimpressive poster? Such is the case with French film Humains from directors Jacques-Olivier Molon and Pierre-Olivier Thevenin. Over at 24FramesPerSecond.Net, they nabbed the final theatrical poster for the flick that is set to hit theaters in France April 22nd. But we ask you, North-American horror lovers: Is the poster less than stellar or is it just us and our inflated, sick, twisted and unreasonable expectations?...

A couple of weeks ago the first "teaser" dropped for Jacques-Olivier Molon's missing link thriller Humains and it was a real stinker. Terribly edited with clattering music pushed way too loud in the mix, it featured little else than the the main cast running randomly in the forest giving no sense to the story. Luckily, French film hub Allocine has posted a much better, official, trailer for the film. All is now right in the world.
A team of several researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery on human evolution. The trip, however, turns into a deadly fight for survival when the team crash into a gully and find themselves falling prey to someone...or something.
Dig in after the break.

Further to our earlier story the official teaser trailer for Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon's upcoming French horror Humains is now out. It's very obvious now the earlier one was a rough cut, as this new one though shorter, is a far more polished affair.

The teaser trail is out for Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon's upcoming French horror "Humains"(aka "Humans"). Much of the action involves the heroes running, screaming, and yes you guessed it, dieing - in assorted manners. No actual shots of the creatures, but then perhaps that's as it should be, its supposed to tease after all. The flick follows the story of: "A team of several researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery on human evolution.

We've been reporting on this upcoming French horror movie, known as "Humans" and "Humains," for some time now. Here's the first look at the teaser trailer. In "Humains" (or "Humans"), a group of researchers is stalked by some kind of evil entity or creature during a travel to the Swiss Alps which goes disastoursly wrong. The film is being directed by Jacques-Olivier Molon and Pierre-Olivier Thevenin (both known primarily for special effects work), with an April 22 release date set for France. The tagline is "Are we the only humans on earth?" . .

Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon’s debut feature Humains - or simply Humans in English - is a film we’ve been tracking for a good while now, in now small part because the directing duo were also the effects team behind the stunning Inside. Of course it also didn’t hurt that Twitch faves Dominique Pinon and Philippe Nahon star in the thing.
A team of several researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery on human evolution. A family of tourists who have come to take part in the famous carnival. The trip, however, turns into a deadly fight for survival when everyone crashes into a gully and find themselves falling prey to someone…or something.

We still don’t know what it is, exactly, that’s hunting down the explorers in Jacques-Olivier Molon’s Humains, but one thing is clear from the teaser that’s shown up online: It isn't pleasant.
The film follows a team of researchers who travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery that may change every theory about human evolution. What they find ... is terror! Sorry. Dig the teaser below!

This teaser for Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon's much anticipated thriller, Humains might just be one of the worst cut together pieces of promotion I've seen in a while. Not only does it feel like the shots are edited together completely randomly, but Gast Waltzing's frenetic score is so loud in the mix that it's almost distracting. Never mind though, we're just excited to see footage.
A team of several researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery on human evolution. The trip, however, turns into a deadly fight for survival when the team crash into a gully and find themselves falling prey to someone...or something.
Unfortunately there are no creature(s) yet folks. Lots of shots of heroes running from unseen beasties but no sense of what it is. But if you're dying for a more peaceful look at some images check out our past gallery.

Humans (or, Humains ) is approaching its April 22nd overseas debut and today the web is buzzing with a teaser trailer that has gone live featuring folks in the woods running from a roaring unknown terror. You can watch it below. Here's a synopsis as a refresher: A group of researchers travels to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery that could bring the whole of human evolution into question. The trip turns into a nightmare when their minibus crashes to the bottom of a gully. Lost in the midst of the mountains, the group must organize itself to survive. Yet someone, or something, seems to be after them. This Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon-directed effort does not have distribution here in the States.

The onslaught of French horror films doesn't end with the likes of Inside or Martyrs . 2009 will see the arrival of Humans (or, Humains ) from the filmmaking team of Pot and Jom (Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon, respectively). We've given the film, written by Jean-Armand Bougrelle, a mention around these parts before and updates are sporadic. This time we've got a look at a new official teaser one-sheet for its April 22nd release overseas along with a few stills from the production. A trailer is probably just around the corner...

The flick follows the story of: "A team of several researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery on human evolution. The trip, however, turns into a deadly fight for survival when the team crash into a gully and find themselves falling prey to someone...or something." Still no sign of a trailer, but you can check out some great looking stills from the link. Humains opens in France in April.

Freshly arrived at the American Film Market I began making my first pass through the main market building today and one of my first stops was at the booth of new startup sales outfit Overlook Entertainment. Expect to hear a Lot from these people in the near future as their slate is already an expansive and extremely impressive one featuring most of the top young names in European genre film making right now. And while I checked out a few things there I absolutely could not leave the room without first seeing the new promo reel for Humans - or Humains in French, the directorial debut from a duo calling themselves Pot and Jom, best known before know as the key effects men on Inside.
Based on the duo’s connection to that film initial expectations ere that this one would also lay on the ultra-gore but that is looking not to be the case.

A brand new group of images have come to light for Jacques-Oliver Molon Pierre-Olivier Thevenin's "Humains" ("Humans") which is looking for a release in 2009. The story follows a group of researchers who travel to the Swiss Alps in search of something that could bring all theories of human evolution into question. The trip, however, turns into a deadly fight for survival when the team crash into a gully and find themselves falling prey to someone...or something. The movies stars Dominique Pinon, Philippe Nahon, Sara Forestier, Lorànt Deutsch......

Are you ready for the next wave of French horror? Because it’s coming ...
Mack wrote a while back about Humains (simply titled Humans in English), the directorial debut from the special effects team behind A L’Interieur (Inside on these shores) and next from the production company behind that film will be La Meute or The Pack, with Philippe Nahon (Irreversible, Brotherhood of the Wolf) and Yolande Moreau (The Last Mistress, Amelie) in the leads. The feature debut of Franck Richard, and one of the inaugural titles from new sales outfit Overlook, the producers are describing it as a bloody rock ‘n roll chiller. Here’s the synopsis:
In the middle of a snowy no man’s land, Charlotte picks up Max, a hitchhiker; they stop in a truck-stop restaurant, and when Max doesn’t come back from the bathroom, Charlotte starts looking for him in vain. She decides...

We just found ourselves in possession of a bevy of new images for Jacques-Oliver Molon's and Pierre-Olivier Thévenin's upcoming Frech thriller Humains (Humans) and figured we'd post 'em up in our brand new gallery system for y'all. We've been reporting on Humains for a while now, spurred on by the alarming tag-line; ""Are we the only human beings on Earth?" Word from a little birdy though is that Humains is actually becoming quite a Z movie. Take that as you will.

The lads at Twitch got themselves the skinny on the next film coming from the French producers of last year's monster hit A L’Interieur (Inside). It's called La Meute (The Pack) and is set to star Philippe Nahon (Irreversible, The Brotherhood of the Wolf) and Yolande Moreau (Amelie). The film's producers are calling it "a bloody rock n' roll chiller" and I'm loving the twisted synopsis.
In the middle of a snowy no man’s land, Charlotte picks up Max, a hitchhiker; they stop in a truck-stop restaurant, and when Max doesn’t come back from the bathroom, Charlotte starts looking for him in vain. She decides to return during the night but gets kidnapped by the bartender, La Spack, who turns out to be Max’s mother and needs to feed her kids, « The pack », a bunch of blood lusting ghouls. Charlotte now faces a terrifying reality: these ghouls are already dead…...

New artwork came down today for two new French horror films that both seem more than worthy of us keeping an eye on.
First up is Mutants, a film by David Morley. Set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Mutants follows a couple trying to escape a pack of bloodthirsty mutant types, but things go south very quickly when one of them is bitten. The new poster art (click to see it bigger) showed up on director Morley’s MySpace page recently, and while it’s about as low-tech as they come, it’s enough to pique my interest.
Then there’s Humains from Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon. Blair Witch got its hands on a ton of stills from the film, which is about researchers in the Swiss Alps who run afoul of something hideous. Unfortunately none of the pics show off what that something is, but I’m sure we’ll know soon enough!

Chalk this up as something we could be keeping an eye on. Attempts to contact the trio of production companies in Zurich, Luxembourg and France have proven to be fruitless in these last 24 hours so I’ll offer up what we know right now. French actors Lorànt Deutsch, Dominique Pinon [Dante 01, City of Lost Children and Delicatessen], Philippe Nahon [Haute Tension and Brotherhood of the Wolf] and Sara Forestier [Perfume: The Story of a Murderer] star in the film. This will be the debut film by Pierre-Olivier Thévenin and Jacques-Olivier Molon. Pierre-Olivier and Jacques-Olivier chiseled their jibs as makeup effects men on Twitch favorites like Inside and Blade II [well, Inside at least I can’t speak for everyone else about Blade II]. So we can be sure at least there will be very good effects in film. Just how bloody they will get with them we’ll have to see. What is it with French directing duos by the way? Its...
