Horror fans will soon get a chance to see Katrina Bowden’s (“30 Rock”) bedside manner when she stars alongside Paz de la Huerta (“Boardwalk Empire”) in Lionsgate’s upcoming slasher Nurse 3-D. The 23-year-old stunner speaks about the role in the February issue of Maxim magazine.

She spills:

It’s definitely different from what I’ve done. It’s kind of like “Dexter” meets Single White Female. Paz de la Huerta and I are both nurses. But she’s a serial killer and she kind of becomes obsessed with me.

Bowden, who is featured on the magazine’s cover and in a sexy butt-cheek baring pictorial, recently wrapped Lionsgate’s Piranha 3-DD, due out later this year. She can also be seen in the hill-billy horror-comedy Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, now available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Nurse 3-D is directed by Douglas Aarniokoski (The Day) and costars Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), Boris Kodjoe (Resident Evil: Afterlife) and Adam Herschman (Bucky Larson).

Freestyle Digital Media has set a Jan. 17 home-DVD release date for director Elise Robertson’s cannibal frightener Donner Pass. “Teen Wolf” recurring Desiree Hall stars as part of a group of snowboarding teens consumed by an ancient curse while snowboarding in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The film’s official synopsis reads:

DONNER PASS tells the story of settlers in 1846 that became snowbound in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and had to resort to cannibalism to survive.

Some 150 years later, a group of teens on a snowboard trip discover that the curse of the Donner Party still haunts those mountains when members of their group start turning up not only dead, but half-eaten.

Nothing – and no one – is what it seems in this provocative dark thriller. And history doesn’t always stay in the past.

Donner Pass was picked up by Freestyle Digital Media at the American Film Market in November.

Hall is best known for playing Beacon Hills’ sexy school nurse Jennifer on MTV’s new “Teen Wolf” series. The pretty redhead has also guest starred on the TV shows “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “CSI: Miami,” and NBC’s short-lived Jimmy Smits-courtroom drama “Outlaw.” Donner Pass is Hall’s feature film debut.

IFC Films has released a trailer for  director David Brooks’ feature film debut ATM. Written by Buried scribe Chris Sparling, the confined-space thriller follows three coworkers as they’re stalked late at night at an ATM vestibule by a lunatic eager to withdraw blood from their heads.

The film stars gorgeous Brit Alice Eve and two dudes that hopefully will perish violently within the first 20 minutes so that we can concentrate on Eve and her clingy white blouse and fantasize about how she would reward us if we came to her rescue—I’m guessing bangers and mash, her treat.

Open Road Films and Liddell Entertainment have released a trailer for Open Water directors Chris Kentis and Laura Lau’s new thriller Silent House, an American remake of the Uruguayan haunted house film La Casa Muda.

Elizabeth Olsen (Martha Marcy, May, Marlene) stars in the real-time, inspired-by-true-events frightener as a woman consumed by horror as she finds herself trapped inside her family’s deteriorated old lake house.

Silent House opens March 9.

Peep it:

It appears that after starring as Lois Lane on The CW’s long-running Superman series “Smallville,” Erica Durance is now ready to fight crime as a costumed superhero. The pretty 33-year-old Canadian actress will play a delusional vigilante who thinks she’s Wonder Woman on NBC’s David E. Kelly-produced lawyer dramedy “Harry’s Law.”

Set to premiere Jan. 11, the episode finds the Wonder Woman wannabe up on criminal charges and in need of counsel from Harriet Korn’s (Kathy Bates) Cincinnati-based law firm. Durance, who in the episode wears the costume originally designed for Adrianne Palicki in Kelly’s aborted “Wonder Woman” pilot, spoke to TV Guide about the character and outfit.

She says:

Having been in the comic world for a while now, I’m really very respectful of the people that love this character. I do take it very seriously.  As a side note, just to be light about it, any woman wearing tight pants is not super excited the first time she puts them on. [Laughs] I wasn’t exactly, you know, tight pants- or underwear-ready.

I’m very grateful for the pants. I know that people were very excited about the underwear and seeing them. To be quite frank, I don’t know if I could’ve done the underwear justice at this point in time and it might have been more upsetting for people to see me in them than to not, so I think the pants are a safe bet for me.

I’ll say it again. Wonder Woman in pants makes as much sense as having the Kool-Aid Man in a pair of cargos.

Durance, who played Lois Lane on “Smallville” for 10 seasons, has got a few genre creds under her belt, namely the 2002 indie Canadian frightener Sasquatch, Uwe Boll’s 2003 movie adaptation of Sega’s zombie shoot’em up House of the Dead, and the 2006 New Line sequel Butterfly Effect 2.

She’s also guest starred on the TV shows “Stargate SG-1,” “Tru Calling,” and “Andromeda.”

Paramount Pictures has set an Oct. 19 release date for the fourth installment of its scary-lucrative Halloween horror franchise Paranormal Activity. The film opens against crime-drama Gangster Squad and rom-com The Wedding before facing-off against branded frighteners Halloween 3-D and Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3-D.

Paranormal Activity 3 directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman will return to helm the project. The duo, which first caught fire with their 2010 social media suspense thriller Catfish, shot the third entry for a reported $5 million, and watched as it went on to gross over $200 million worldwide, making it the most profitable film in the franchise.

Bloody-Disgusting first broke the news of Joost and Schulman’s return. No word yet on whether Katie Featherston will reprise her role as demon-possessed Katie in the new sequel but, despite part three’s origins reveal, it’s hard to imagine the story going pre-eighties, considering its reliance on the the whole caught-on-video hook.

Prepare to swallow your soul in shock.

Up-and-comer Lily Collins won’t be dead by dawn in Ghosthouse Pictures’ upcoming reboot of Sam Raimi’s 1981 classic The Evil Dead. According to Bloody-Disgusting, Collins has scored the lead role of Mia, a character meant to replace original protagonist Ash Williams, famously played by the mighty Bruce Campbell.

Fede Alverez, an aspiring Uruguayan filmmaker who caught Raimi’s attention with an ambitious four-minute-plus sci-fi short entitled Panic Attack, is directing the remake from his own script, punched up by Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body).

Collins, who starred in last year’s post-apocalyptic-vampire-frightener Priest, is also toplining Tarsem Singh’s (The Immortals) Snow White re-imagining Mirror, Mirror and Screen Gems’ The Mortal Instruments, an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s romantic, young-adult demon-slayer book series.

The Evil Dead will rise again on April 12, 2013.

A French trailer for writer/director Juan Diego Solanas’ sci-fi romancer Upside Down has gone online. The film stars Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess as star-crossed childhood sweethearts living in alternate universes that exist above each other on opposing axes.

Described as a sci-fi “Romeo & Juliet,” Upside Down looks pretty damn quirky, but after peeping a nude Dunst in Lars von Trier’s Melancholia, it’s easy to understand how the busty 29-year-old could make any guy’s world go topsy turvy.

Peep it:

Humanistic Films have released a trailer for writer/director Chaz Fatur’s Human Factor, starring Charisma Carpenter (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), Danny Trejo (Machete), David Zayas (“Dexter”), Keith David (“The Cape”), Tom Sizemore (Natural Born Killers) and Eric Roberts (Sharktopus).

The film’s synopsis reads:

A determined investigative reporter and a renegade detective plan to uncover the mysterious disappearances of the homeless population in Metro City… without risking their own lives.

So, if the investigative reporter (Carpenter) and the rogue cop aren’t going to risk their lives to solve this case, what exactly are they going to do for 90-minutes?

Only a Carpenter shower scene could make this worthwhile. Unfortunately, the trailer doesn’t give much hope of that as it only offers up a montage of dirty street-living vagrants and a few homeless stats.

Looks like whatever smoke David Fincher blew up Rooney Mara’s ass to get her naked for his American redo of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has finally gone to her head. The 26-year-old has been poo-pooing all over her previous non-Fincher projects, including Platinum Dunes’ 2010 remake of Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street in which she starred as Nancy Holbrook.

She tells Entertainment Weekly Magazine:

Sometimes you don’t want to get something, but you do a really good job and you get it anyway. That’s kind of [what happened] with A Nightmare on Elm Street. I didn’t really even want it. And then I went in [to audition], and I was like, ‘Fuck. I definitely got that.

I was like, this isn’t what I signed up for. If this is what my opportunities are going to be like, then I’m not that interested in acting. So I was very discouraged and disheartened. And then I got the Social Network script. That kind of re-inspired me.

Funny, but I don’t remember Mara in The Social Network at all. I do, however, remember the hot Asian chick that sets Andrew Garfield’s scarf on fire.
