This past weekend’s January slot continues to be a goldmine for studios with Universal Pictures opening M. Night Shyamalan‘s Glass (read our review) in theaters everywhere. Even with torrid reviews, the film found an audience (its CinemaScore was actually higher than that of Unbreakable!) and matched its predecessor’s weekend opening with an estimated $40.59 million. It […]
Most (many, at least) horror fans seem to be in agreement that Luca Guadagnino’s Suspiria is one of the finest remakes of a horror classic to date, turning Dario Argento‘s colorful original into a whole different experience entirely. Rather than copy Argento’s style, Guadagnino made Suspiria his own, removing not just the bright colors but […]
A big budget action horror film starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Donald Sutherland sounds like a safe bet for the box office. So much so that a line of action figures was developed, and the original comic the movie was based on received an updated release with the movie’s artwork in promotion. But then the […]
James McAvoy may be terrifying us all this weekend as “The Beast” in M. Night Shyamalan’s Glass, but he’ll be the one getting terrorized later this year in IT: Chapter Two. On “Good Morning America” today, McAvoy touched briefly upon his experience on the set last year, admitting that Bill Skarsgård legit freaked him out […]
Glass picks up shortly after the conclusion of Split, with Unbreakable’s David Dunn (Bruce Willis) in pursuit of The Beast before he can kill again. M. Night Shyamalan began his trilogy nearly twenty years ago with a simple question; what if superheroes and supervillains really existed? He explored the psyche of an ordinary man discovering […]

Variety reports that Reitman, whose father, Ivan, directed the first two Ghostbusters movies, has also co-written a screenplay […]
Thanks to a Czech retailer, we learned back in August that Ridley Scott’s Alien would be released in the upgraded 4K Ultra HD format this year, and via AvP Galaxy we now know that the 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray release will be arriving in the UK on April 1st, 2019. No other info is […]
Sony Pictures (Columbia Pictures and Screen Gems) has owned the January genre release for 15 years now, especially with their Underworld and Resident Evil franchises. It appears that Escape Room could become their next big franchise, assuming the international numbers begin to trickle in heavier than in the first two weeks. The Adam Robitel-directed thriller has […]
Oddly enough, George Romero‘s Dawn of the Dead is currently out of print and unavailable to stream here in the States, which is downright criminal. Over in the UK, the film’s Blu-ray releases are similarly out of print, so it’s kind of huge news that Second Sight announced just yesterday that they’re next setting their […]
With horror industry heavy hitters already in place from the 1970s, the 1980s built upon that with the rise of brilliant minds in makeup and effects artists, as well as advances in technology. Artists like Rick Baker, Rob Bottin, Alec Gillis, Tom Woodruff Jr., Tom Savini, Stan Winston, and countless other artists that delivered groundbreaking, […]
