4 Horror Movie Links with Iconic Dazed and Confused (1993)

The 1993 coming-of-age teen flick Dazed and Confused shows the last day of school in 1976. Set in Austin, Texas, the film was written and directed by Richard Linklater, who loosely based the film on his own high school experience. Initially a box office flop (filmed on a budget of $6.9 million yet earning less than $8 million in the US), the film has secured its spot in numerous top charts and is a cable TV staple. The film also boasts one of the best soundtracks; Paste Magazine ranks it #17 on the “Top 50 Best Movie Soundtrack” list. In addition, four of the actors in the large ensemble cast have links to horror movies.

  1. Sasha Jenson starred in two horror films before landing the role of “Don.” He appeared as “Teddy” in Ghoulies II (1988) and as “Brady” in Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988).

Rory--SashaL-R: Rory Cochrane, Jason London, and Sasha Jenson.

  1. Christine Harnos, “Kaye,” appeared as “Rimmer” in Hellraiser: Bloodline (1996).
  2. Rory Cochrane played “Slater” in Dazed and Confused. His role of the goofy stoner boy required him to wear a hat wig since his hair was not that long. He played the clean-shaven father, “Alan Russell,” in the 2013 film Oculus.
  3. Milla Jovovich found great success in horror movies. She appears as the lead actress in the fantastically profitable Resident Evil franchise. Although her husband, Paul W. S. Anderson (the writer/creator of the franchise), claims she is finished starring in the RE movies, he expects her to take on roles behind the camera. In Dazed and Confused, she played “Michelle” and even wrote the song “The Alien Song” that her character plays.

Dazed and Confused is a seminal film that every film aficionado should view. The movie is rated R for mature audiences and runs one hour and 42 minutes.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter Where Evil Comes Home

The wildly popular horror/sci-fi Resident Evil movie franchise may be ending. The sixth, and potentially final, installment opens Friday, January 27, 2017 in US theaters.

One of the most financially successful movie franchises, the films have grossed over $916 million worldwide. Comprised of 6 films, the movies popularity has increased more overseas than in the US. This probably explains this movie’s Japanese debut last month, instead of here.

Fans can catch up with online video rentals. The only film currently streaming on Netflix is the 3rd film, Resident Evil: Extinction (2007). The production budget of $45 million was recouped in the US; moreover, it went on to gross $147 million worldwide. That places it 3rd in gross receipts, as well. The most profitable was the 4th film, Resident Evil: Afterlife, grossing $296 million worldwide. The 5th installment, Resident Evil: Retribution, was close behind with $240 million grossed worldwide. This is an immensely popular franchise!

afterlife

For the “final” installment, Milla Jovovich returns as “Alice.” According to director Paul W.S. Anderson, Alice’s character comes full circle in this sequel. The movie returns to the original theme of the secret facility, dubbed “The Hive.” Set designs from 15 years ago had to be located to re-create the original film’s Berlin set in order to remain as consistent as possible. It will be up to the fans on whether the movie succeeded.

One of the film’s taglines is “The journey ends.” Anderson leaves open the possibility of another film, stating that there is much international demand for the franchise to continue.
