There are very few horror movies that revolve around America’s most patriotic of holidays. Of course, there’s Jaws, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Uncle Sam, and The Purge franchise as tried and true holiday viewing options, but what if you want something a little different this 4th of July? In keeping with […]
In 2011, Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer out-Ghost Rider‘d both Nicolas Cage-starring Ghost Rider films with Drive Angry, a modern exploitation gem starring… Nicolas Cage. Earlier this week, the trailer for Panos Cosmatos’ Mandy hit the net, looking like Hellraiser by way of Dario Argento and with Nicolas Cage in the mix as an axe-wielding, chainsaw-fighting badass […]
Dark Castle Entertainment made a handful of seriously fun horror movies over the years, notably 1999’s House on Haunted Hill and 2001’s Thirteen Ghosts. The former film, we’ve just learned tonight, is headed to Collector’s Edition Blu-ray via Scream Factory! “Get ready to spend the night in a mansion full of the macabre as the […]
Jason Blum announced last year that Blumhouse and writer Akiva Goldsman (The Dark Tower) were developing a new adaptation of Stephen King’s Firestarter, which was originally adapted in 1984.

At CinemaCon back in April, Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams confirmed that the upcoming Overlord is actually *not* part of the Cloverfield Cinematic Universe, while also teasing a future project under that umbrella.

The Russian Bride opens with a beautiful, retro title card featuring bright red script, paired with an eerie violin score, setting the tone for a cinematic haunted house tale of yore. While much of the film upholds the nostalgic sense of darkness and dread found in films like the Universal classics, make no mistake – […]
I love how we barely know anything about Panos Cosmatos’ action-thriller Mandy, which allegedly boasts a scene with a chainsaw-wielding Nicolas Cage. Outside of some reviews and interviews, all we’ve seen are a few shots of Cage covered in blood and that’s all I need to know I must see it as soon as absolutely possible. No matter, we’re getting […]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: there’s something strange going on at a home for young women. An older priest and a younger priest are called to investigate. After increasingly mounting signs, they discover something demonic at work and must fight back against these evil forces. Oh, and it’s all shot first-person, found footage […]
Blumhouse has given Cinepocalypse the World Premiere of Boogeyman Pop, which takes place tonight at the Music Box Theater in Chicago at 10:15pm (get tickets here). We’ve been provided with the film’s first ever image and poster that are soaked in colors and give off a classic 80’s vibe. Brad Michael Elmore directs the film, which […]
Given its box office success, critical acclaim and the fact that it won a freakin’ Academy Award, it’s probably a guarantee that we’ll eventually be seeing a sequel to Jordan Peele’s Get Out. Peele has a few times in the past year mentioned that he’d probably be up for it, most recently noting back in February […]
