Unless your name is Resident Evil, there’s not a lot too cheer these days as a Japanese horror franchise. The perspective-swapping Siren has seemingly been left behind, Silent Hill has died a quiet death by pachinko, and the ghost-snapping Fatal Frame hasn’t had a prominent entry in years. At least there may still be a

Laurie and Michael Myers were never intended to be siblings… Just like the original Halloween was never supposed to have a sequel. It’s October! And although some of you may have seen this little tidbit from John Carpenter over the summer, we thought it was worth revisiting and placing in the appropriate context.  ComicBook.com spoke

Writer/Director Mike Flanagan has a pretty healthy relationship with Netflix, at least in terms of delivering quality horror. Last October’s The Haunting of Hill House series chilled viewers to their core. The year before that Flanagan adapted what was previously considered unadaptable; Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game. This Wild Card Sunday we’re going back to his

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 others delivered groundbreaking, mind-blowing practical

Knowing full well that I was going into the new Lucky McKee film, Kindred Spirits (holding its LA Premiere at this year’s 19th Annual Screamfest in Los Angeles), I had in mind the grit, the gore and the sometimes unforgiving aesthetic of some of his previous efforts. May, The Woman and his awesome Masters of

Saturday is Family Fun day during our 31 Days of Halloween celebration, and this entry is an absolute delight. A PG-13 horror comedy that serves as a perfect introductory course to the slasher, deconstructed tropes and all, The Final Girls also offers up a slew of endlessly likable characters. Characters that bring the emotion as

Sam Raimi hasn’t directed a horror film since Drag Me to Hell back in 2009, and we’ve learned the incredible news via THR tonight that his next movie will be…a horror movie! Raimi is directing an untitled horror film for Columbia Pictures, penned by Damian Shannon and Mark Swift (Freddy vs. Jason, Friday the 13th

Just like Rabid’s lead character Rose… on the outside – following her miraculous skin-grafting treatments – her beauty is unmatched. But on the inside, things are a little messed-up and uncertain. It’s a metaphor for the Soska Sisters’ (Jen and Sylvia) new remake of David Cronenberg’s ‘70s classic – Rabid. I’ve never seen the 1977

Jeffrey A. Brown’s directorial debut is a powerful, emotional throwback to ‘50s sci-fi that presents a stunning glimpse of a parasitic invasion. “Life is so fragile.” The Beach House is an apocalyptic fever dream brought to life. It’s an ode to the lofty science fiction films of the ’50s and gives the era the proper

This year has been surprisingly Critters-heavy, kicking off with Shudder’s series “Critters: A New Binge” back in March. That 8-episode return of the franchise, if you’re asking me, was quite awful, but I actually had a lot of fun with the brand new movie that came along shortly thereafter: Critters Attack!, which went straight to

Here’s what we know about Underwater so far:  The monster movie starring Kristen Stewart is set to be released January 10, 2020. That makes Underwater the second horror movie (and the first with a reasonable likelihood of box office success) scheduled to be released in the new year. Check out the trailer below.

From the mind and sketchbook of Hellboy creator Mike Mignola comes the upcoming animated anthology series “The Forever House,” Deadline reports tonight. The official logline previews, “Existing somewhere between reality and nightmares, The Forever House will encapsulate the feeling of an ancient tale told by the fire as we explore the disturbing and the macabre from

Announced during today’s quarterly earnings report, Netflix currently has 158 million subscribers worldwide, and they say that 64 million of them watched the third season of “Stranger Things” within the first four weeks of its premiere on the streaming service on July 4th. That makes “Stranger Things 3” the most-watched original series in the history

It had been reported last month that Jonah Hill was in talks to potentially play one of the leading villains in Matt Reeves‘ The Batman, seemingly either Penguin or the Riddler, but Variety is now reporting tonight that Hill has passed on the project. The site notes, “Why exactly Hill is passing is currently unknown.”

Bradley Cooper, Toni Collette, Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara were recently set to star in Guillermo del Toro‘s Nightmare Alley, an adaptation of the novel by William Lindsay Gresham, and we’ve learned tonight that Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse) has also joined the cast. Variety reports that Dafoe “will play the head barker at a traveling carnival who gives Bradley

It’s a Danish film by the name of Harpiks. The English translation is Resin. Sadly, it was shown on a late Monday night at this year’s Screamfest (where it held its US Premiere), so the audience was tiny… and this film deserves a much wider audience. Right off the bat, with zero hesitation, I can
