So far in the history of “killer bear” cinema, only Grizzly Park opens with an excerpt from The Bible. As “The Children Destroyed by Bears” goes (without getting too deep into other interpretations), a pair of bears mauled many kiddos after they insulted God’s prophet. The absurdity of such a tale would naturally lead to a movie just as, if not more inane. However, who or what exactly is pulling the strings in Tom Skull’s one and only directed feature is not so clear, at first. Is this fuzzy destroyer acting of its own free will, being manipulated by a human, or is there really an omnipotent force meting out bizarre retribution for naughty youths? In a movie as oddball as Grizzly Park, not a single one of those notions would be considered unsuitable.

After setting up a threat not of the bear persuasion — professional animal trainer Jeff...

This was truly a unique treat for us. We recently got a chance to catch up with Bryn Hammond (Editor/Company Director) and Emily Booth (Columnist) of Europe's best selling monthly horror magazine 'GoreZone' for a little Q and A. If you're not familiar with 'GoreZone' you soon will be as we go behind the pages to see what makes the staff and writers of the popular horror rag tick...

Question: GoreZone Magazine has such a dramatic look from other horror magazines why? What made you do it? Why use the tag line ‘Vogue for horror fans’?

Bryn Hammond : Well first and foremost I really don’t read very many horror magazines anymore. The horror boom was great in the 90’s and I loved Fangoria, but it lost that cutting edge it had and I stopped buying it. The recent rumours are very sad.

Since the trend is on its last gasp, reflecting upon the concept of “torture porn” is now outdated and futile. Beyond that, I was never a big fan of the label, finding it a bit too obvious and silly. But if there’s any film that “torture porn” applies to, both in terms of the plot/content guidelines the genre has laid out and the banality of the phrase itself, it’s Train, out next week on DVD from Lionsgate.

In fairness, as a film, Gideon Raff’s nightmarish locomotive journey is just sort of mediocre; the problem lies more in what it represents. Originally proposed as a remake of the 1980 slasher Terror Train, the film was reconceived and retitled to become basically a remake of Hostel and the like. Alex (Thora Birch) and her wrestling team are on a tour of Eastern Europe—it’s not really made clear where,...
