Via THR tonight, Cedric Nicolas-Troyan (The Huntsman: Winter’s War) has signed on to direct an action thriller titled Kate for Netflix, with Deadpool 2 director David Leitch on board to executive produce. And man are we loving the plot of this one. The site details, “The script [written by] Umair Aleem follows a female assassin who, after being […]
Get. Excited. Constantin Film has hired a director to reboot the Resident Evil franchise and it’s definitely someone who can return it to its horror roots. Johannes Roberts, director of the excellent 47 Meters Down and this year’s underrated The Strangers: Prey at Night, will be both writing and getting behind the camera for the […]
Originally announced at SDCC earlier this year, Scream Factory is bringing The Craft to Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, and they’ve provided us with additional release details today. For starters, the official release date is planned for March 12th. Extras are in progress and will be announced on a later date but Scream Factory can confirm right […]
Lionsgate’s Leprechaun Returns pulls a Halloween 2018 and takes place following the events in the first Leprechaun, only this time Warwick Davis has been replaced by Linden Porco. Davis has played the title character in the 1993 film and several of its sequels before the 2014 reboot replaced him with Dylan ‘Hornswoggle’ Postl. Point is, it’s a little strange to see Porco throwing quips when this […]
Axe-wielding murderous Santas aren’t anything new, but they’re still one of my all-time favorite horror tropes. From Santa’s Slay to Silent Night, we’ve seen all sorts of wacky yuletide carnage taking place on a traditionally cheerful occasion. Norwegian filmmaker Reinert Kiil is the latest to try his luck at a serial-killing Saint Nick with Christmas Blood, […]
David Gordon Green’s Halloween provided us with much to be excited about, and perhaps nothing more exciting than the fact that John Carpenter (along with son Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies) scored the film. Carpenter hadn’t actually scored a film since his own Ghosts of Mars back in 2001, so that was needless to say […]
With the release of Orion’s Anna and the Apocalypse in limited theaters this weekend, allow me two proclamations. First, SEE ANNA AND THE APOCALYPSE. Not only does John McPhail’s showstopper fulfill Christmas Horror promises, but it does so as a dynamite Scottish zombie musical. Second, y’all don’t watch enough horror musicals. Maybe you – specifically […]
Herschell Gordon Lewis earned the moniker “godfather of gore” in the early ‘60s when he created the splatter subgenre in horror with Blood Feast. But it didn’t take long before another director would earn and share the title; Italian maestro Lucio Fulci. Fulci began his film career as a documentary director before switching gears and […]
A hell of cast that includes Katherine Waterston, Michael Shannon, Luke Evans and “The Haunting of Hill House” star Michiel Huisman has been assembled for next year’s State Like Sleep, written and directed by Meredith Danluck and being released in early 2019. In the film… One year after her husband’s (Michiel Huisman) untimely death, a young widow (Katherine […]
The extra features have been officially revealed for Sony Home Pictures Entertainment’s release of Venom and includes one interesting deleted scene: an extension of the San Quentin post-credits sequence in which we’re introduced to Woody Harrelson‘s Cletus Kasady (and his awful wig). The button at the end of the film brings newly revitalized reporter Eddie Brock (Tom Hardy) to the […]
