Oni Press, multiple Eisner and Harvey Award-winning publisher, announced the next stunning installment in its summer 2025 graphic novel lineup: Meat Eaters.
Let it be said that dying is rough. Nineteen-year-old Ashley Moore found this out the hard way.
All Ashley wanted was to keep her head down and work hard until she could escape the small town where she felt she was stagnating. But after waking up one night covered in blood—and irrevocably dead—Ashley finds her foolproof plan for getting out has gone up in smoke, and something within her has changed.
Without a heartbeat and with a disturbing craving for fresh—preferably bloody—meat, Ashley finds herself privy to a world that exists just beneath our own: a world of ghouls and monsters and things that go bump-in-the-night. Despite her desire to be left alone—and to not think about the night of her death at all—Ashley is slowly drawn into the realm of the unusual, getting advice from ancient vampires, dodging angry pack leaders, and becoming the reluctant big sister to werewolves Motley and Harrison. As she does, she finds it increasingly difficult to put away the parts of herself she wishes to ignore—namely, what happened that fateful night she stopped breathing. The truth, it turns out, can’t stay buried forever.
Meat Eaters is from cartoonist Meredith McClaren—co-creator of the acclaimed series Black Cloak.
“MEAT EATERS is an ode to all the teen horror television I lovingly consumed over the years,” said Writer and Illustrator Meredith McClaren. “Where there are bad things in the world, sometimes they hurt you, and sometimes that makes you change in ways you do not like.”
It’s giving iZombie vibes, so I’m into it. The samples pages look pretty good and I like Ms. McClaren’s illustrations. Also, it’s a nod to the effects of trauma and anxiety, which is actually pretty scary.
Don’t miss this deadly debut when Meat Eaters takes its first bite in comic shops and bookstores everywhere July 2025.

In celebration of “The Last of Us Day,” HBO has released an official TLOU Day teaser and art by Greg Ruth for the second season of the HBO Original drama series THE LAST OF US, based on the acclaimed video game franchise developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation® consoles.
The annual TLOU Day (September 26th) event, now in its 11th year, celebrates the franchise and its dedicated fan community. September 26 is the date on which the cordyceps virus catalyzed the events of THE LAST OF US also known as “Outbreak Day”.
Here’s what we know about the upcoming second season:
After five years of peace following the events of the first season, Joel and Ellie’s collective past catches up to them, drawing them into conflict with each other and a world even more dangerous and unpredictable than the one they left behind.
Season two returning cast includes Pedro Pascal as Joel, Bella Ramsey as Ellie, Gabriel Luna as Tommy, and Rutina Wesley as Maria. Previously announced new cast includes Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, Danny Ramirez as Manny, and Jeffrey Wright as Isaac. Catherine O’Hara also guest stars. Ok then Beetlejuice momma sticking with the genre right now.You have to admit that teaser gives a great glimpse into Joel and Ellie’s new world. And the scene with the zombie horde is freakin’ breathtaking. Hopefully, it’s not a whole lot of soap opera included which I feel happened to The Walking Dead at a certain point. Nonetheless, I am ready y’all.
The second season of THE LAST OF US will debut in 2025 on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.

About Dracula: The Spanish Version
There have been many screen versions of Bram Stoker’s classic vampire tale, but none more famous or enduring than Universal Studios’ 1931 film starring Bela Lugosi. But during the film’s production, while Lugosi was vamping it up in front of the cameras by day for director Tod Browning, a separate night crew shot an alternate version of Dracula in Spanish — same sets, same story, new cast.Many now hail this Spanish incarnation of the classic, starring Carlos Villarías as “Conde Drácula” and directed by George Melford, as the superior version. Melford was able to study the dailies for the English-language version, and strove to improve on many aspects of the project during his night shoots. Melford’s Dracula is about 30 minutes longer than Browning’s, with expanded dialogue, rearranged scenes, and more risqué costumes for leading lady Lupita Tovar.
After its initial release, the film fell into obscurity, largely forgotten until the 1970s. The only surviving print, while in excellent condition, was missing the third reel, which encompassed Renfield’s seduction by Dracula’s brides and the count’s stormy voyage to England. In 1989, a deteriorated show print was discovered in Havana’s Cinemateca de Cuba, enabling Universal to create a restoration. The complete Spanish-language Dracula was seen for the first time in decades at a 1992 screening at the Director’s Guild, with Lupita Tovar in attendance.Because Dracula‘s production coincided with the transition from silent pictures to “talkies,” when limited sound technology existed, the film was released without an original musical score and few sound effects. In other words, it offers a rich opportunity for composer Gustavo Santaolalla to put his own creative stamp on the timeless tale.
In addition to composer and featured guitar soloist Gustavo Santaolalla, special guest artists performing with the LA Opera Orchestra will include violinist Javier Casalla, accordionist Michael Ward-Bergeman, foley artist Joanna Fang and foley mixer Blake Collins. The orchestrator is David Campbell.

What a way to start a Tuesday. The trailer for Sinners has hit Harriet Tubman’s internet and it’s gorgeous and intriguing. From what we know this is a vampire film that takes place during Prohibition, so the fashions are going to be impressive and splendid, especially since Oscar winning costumer Ruth E. Carter did them. Y’all I’m excited. But I must deduct points for that horrendous Southern accent. I’ve warned you.
Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back.
The film stars: Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Jack O’Connell, Wunmi Mosaku, Jayme Lawson, Omar Benson Miller and Delroy Lindo. It is directed by Ryan Coogler.This looks so promising; Coogler has time and time proven himself to be shaping up to be one of the best directors and writers in the game right now. I always look forward to seeing what he and Jordan are going to show us. That accent though, my Southern ears cannot. Michael you should have called me dude, would have loved to coach you. Kudos for playing twinsies though.

If you are a fan of extreme clown horror film, Circus of the Dead, rejoice because it’s being novelized. Although, I cannot stomach clowns, in IRL or on screen, this looks pretty cool.
In the original film: A sadistic group of clowns kidnap an unsuspecting man and his daughters, forcing him to play a deadly game in order to save his family.
The film was written by Billy “Bloody Bill” Pon and Lee Ankrum, Circus of the Dead has amassed a rabid cult following in the years since its release. The film stars Bill Oberst Jr., Parrish Randall, and Chanel Ryan. A sequel was recently announced and is currently in pre-production. The novelization was written by Joshua Millican and has been 100 percent approved by “Bloody Bill.”
“I’ve been a fan of Circus of the Dead for almost as long as anyone,” says Millican, “and Billy and I go way back. So it was an honor to have his blessing to embark on this ultra-violent escapade!”
“It’s been close to 10 years, and I’m still blown away by the fans’ love for the film,” says Pon. “With the novelization, Josh and I are giving them something extra, a real peek into Papa Corn’s mind! There are elements from my original screenplay with Lee that we incorporated, and a prequel that goes into Doll Boy’s origins!”
All pre-orders will also receive an exclusive set of Loteria cards featuring the film’s core cast of clowns: Papa Corn, Noodledome, Mister Blister, and Jumbo. The first run of these authentic collectables won’t be available anywhere else, and are only available to US customers through Encyclopocalypse.com.
“Josh has already done some great work for us,” says Sean Duregger, Managing Editor of Encyclopocalypse, “And I think his novelization of Circus of the Dead represents some of his best work.”
The novelization also includes a foreword by Bill Oberst Jr. (who plays Papa Corn), an afterword by Pon himself, and some alternate character posters from the film’s initial release. It will be available in standard and mass-market sizes.
Encyclopocalypse Publications is at the forefront of a resurgence in the popularity of novelizations. Their library includes classic and obscure titles ranging from Wishmaster to Blue Sunshine. The imprint also publishes original fiction and nonfiction.
Circus of the Dead will be available wherever books are sold on November 26, 2024, with pre-order links available now exclusively from Encyclopocalypse.com, available to USA Customers only. International third party pre-order links will populate at a later date.

This is interesting, check this out. Three Realities. Same Hell. From writer/director Quinn Armstrong (Survival Skills) and the studio that brought you Nightmare Cinema comes Fresh Hell: a new triptych of three visionary horror features.
Travel through the worlds of a nefarious conversion camp due for a reckoning with The Exorcism of St. Patrick, to a group of neo-Nazi metalheads who can’t harness the beasts inside with Wolves Against the World, and to an archetypal ‘cabin in the woods’ where the ill-fated teens take control of their own narrative in Dead Teenagers.
With Fresh Hell, Armstrong lovingly harkens back to the Hammer Horror or Roger Corman model of shooting films on a small budget back-to-back, each film with its own unique aesthetic and cleverly interconnected elements between them. Each film is shot with great creativity and killer practical effects by industry legend Dave Greathouse (The Killing of a Sacred Deer, Wrong Turn, Fun Size).
The Fresh Hell trilogy was written and directed by Quinn Armstrong.
EXORCISM OF SAINT PATRICK / On Demand 8/27 /

A masked killer, a cabin in the woods, a group of teens: the basic ingredients of a very old story. But what happens when the story is interrupted? What happens if it keeps going?

But when the killer accidentally dies, the kids discover they cannot leave until they’ve fulfilled the script of the movie they’re trapped in. They must decide who among them lives and dies.

Trieste Science+Fiction Festival, the Italian event devoted to science fiction scheduled from October 29th to November 3rd, has unveiled the poster for the 2024 edition: an original illustration created by cartoonist Michele Rech, aka Zerocalcare, one of the most beloved authors on the Italian and international comics scene.
The poster for the 24th edition of the Trieste festival illustrates the challenges and fears evoked by the advent of Generative Artificial Intelligence, a technology that is no longer just the future but also the present in which machines, for the first time, are able to create something as new and artistic as a written text or an illustration. In fact, the recent development of Artificial Intelligence is leading us toward a science fiction movie scenario: a Fourth Industrial Revolution that will cause profound social disruptions and economic changes, completely reconfiguring the world of work and thus society itself. A revolution that opens up new possibilities, but also raises fears and fears by ushering in new and unpredictable scenarios.
As Zerocalcare explains, “the poster tells the story of the distance between how I imagined science fiction as a kid and how my expectations have evolved: we used to think that in the future machines would do the alienating and exhausting jobs, leaving humans free to dedicate themselves to the arts. Today, quite the opposite, the evolution of artificial intelligence shows us a possible dystopia in which machines replace us in drawing and writing, while people continue to wake up in the morning to go to their worksite”.
Zerocalcare is one of the most beloved and acclaimed authors on the Italian and international comics scene. His books, with which he describes the fears of an entire generation, have been appreciated and printed all over the world. In recent years he has written, directed, and voiced two animated series produced for Netflix (Strappare lungo i bordi in 2021 and Questo mondo non mi renderà cattivo in 2023) that have received public and critical acclaim.
The 24th edition of the Trieste Science+Fiction Festival promises a packed schedule of events and film previews. Held at the Politeama Rossetti and Teatro Miela, this year’s festival will showcase the finest global science fiction productions, encompassing a spectrum from horror to classic sci-fi.
The most important science fiction festival, scheduled in Trieste from Oct. 29 to Nov. 3.

Welp, it might be time to add James McAvoy to the is he or isn’t he insane but maybe he just plays it really well list. Either way he appears to be doing a great job in the newest trailer for the upcoming Speak No Evil. Enjoy.
When an American family is invited to spend the weekend at the idyllic country estate of a charming British family they befriended on vacation, what begins as a dream holiday soon warps into a snarled psychological nightmare.
Speak No Evil stars Mackenzie Davis (Terminator: Dark Fate, Halt and Catch Fire) and SAG award-winner Scoot McNairy (Argo, A Quiet Place Part II) as American couple Louise and Ben Dalton, who, along with their 11-year-old daughter Agnes (Alix West Lefler; The Good Nurse, Riverdale), accept the weekend-holiday invitation of Paddy (McAvoy), his wife Ciara (Aisling Franciosi; Game of Thrones, The Fall) and their furtive, mute son Ant (newcomer Dan Hough).Written for the screen and directed by James Watkins, the writer-director of Eden Lake and the award-winning gothic ghost story The Woman in Black.
Speak No Evil is based on the screenplay of the 2022 Danish horror sensation Gæsterne, written by Christian Tafdrup and Mads Tafdrup.

With just one month away from the long-awaited resurrection of the infamous and influential EC Comics in the pages of EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS #1, Oni Press, will unveil the first look at EC’s all-new, never-before-seen, dead-and-not-getting-better-anytime-soon trio of horror hosts . . . meet EC’s all-new masters of menace: The Grave-Digger, The Tormentor, and The Grim Inquisitor.
The Grave-Digger
Design by Dustin Weaver
IN HIS CEMETERY, EVERY TOMBSTONE TELLS A TALE! As the central host of the upcoming EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS series from EC Comics and Oni Press, The Grave-Digger’s charming visage will soon regale readers far and wide with the tales of murderous intent and ill fortune that earned his cemetery’s denizens their places six feet deep.
The Tormentor
Design by Dustin Weaver
INTRODUCING HER ROYAL TRAVESTY OF PAIN! A one-eyed butcheress with a penchant for playful flaying and audacious amputation, there is no weapon of opportunity or implement of torture too grisly to escape The Tormentor’s notice. But she still holds a fondness for “the classics” – like her red-hot poker and rusty pruning shears!
The Grim Inquisitor
Design by Dustin Weaver
THE DEACON OF DOOM! THE VICEROY OF THE VICE! THE PRINCIPAL OF PUNISHMENT … OR SO HE’D LIKE YOU TO THINK! A mad monk with a fanatic’s eye for keeping his secret sect’s surprisingly extensive bureaucracy of terror running like clockwork, The Grim Inquisitor fears no man . . . except The Supreme Inquisitor, who demands extremely exacting results from his right-hand man and deputy master of obscure occult rites.
Usually a big part of designing characters is costuming, but in looking back at the original Tales From the Crypt comics, it’s clear that the most important and defining features of the horror hosts are their ghoulish faces,” said Dustin Weaver (Avengers, Paklis). “It’s all about the faces, and with these modern host designs I wanted to carry on that tradition. Making sure the faces were suitably fiendish, properly cruel, and the right amount of unseemly was key, but there’s also an effort here to go a step further and bring some more thought and characterization to their costuming and physicality as well. Ultimately, it’s just such a treat to draw characters so unabashedly wicked.”
EC Comics – and three new unflinchingly undead horror hosts – enters the 21st century with a jugular-pounding, 40-page horror milestone on July 24th, only in EPITAPHS FROM THE ABYSS #1!

Honestly, it’s also giving Bodies Bodies Bodies teas as well. I have no problems with it as of right now, but it feels like it will be one of those films that will make me feel like I’ve had an edible. That could go either way.

In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.
The film stars: Mia Goth, Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, with Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon. It is written and directed by Ti West.
I have been waiting for this trailer for what seems like forever. So far, I have really dug the previous films in the trilogy, but I did like X better than Pearl. The common thread of course has been Goth’s creepy eerie performance in each film. All three of these characters want to be stars and literally nothing will stop her and even in this case not the Night Stalker.

Prime Video has released the official trailer of the horror anthology series Them: The Scare. I didn’t know this was going to an on-going series, I honestly thought it was a one and done kind of vibe, but alas I obviously was wrong.
THEM will once again be set in Los Angeles (the first installment, subtitled Covenant, took place in Compton circa 1952 but will move the time frame forward to 1991). The story centers on LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve, who is assigned to a new case: the gruesome murder of a foster home mother that has left even the most hardened detectives shaken. Navigating a tumultuous time in Los Angeles, with a city on the razor’s edge of chaos, Dawn is determined to stop the killer. But as she draws closer to the truth, something ominous and malevolent grips her and her family…
The series cast includes Deborah Ayorinde (Riches, Harriet) as “Detective Dawn Reeve,” Pam Grier (Foxy Brown, Bones, Ghost of Mars, Jackie Brown) as “Athena,” Grammy-nominated musician and actor Luke James (The Chi, Insecure) as “Edmund Gaines.” Rounding out the cast are Joshua J. Williams (Cloak & Dagger, Mudbound), Jeremy Bobb (The Continental, God’s Country), Wayne Knight (Seinfeld, Narcos), Carlito Olivero (This Is Me… Now, Escape Room: Tournament of Champions), Charles Brice (Homeland, The Blacklist, Watchmen), and Iman Shumpert (The Chi).
This looks very promising, I mean they managed to make one of the cheeriest songs from the 90s scary. Also, I loved the juxtaposition of what I am assuming is supposed to represent the OJ trial. Psst, that was in 1994 though, but I get where you were going with the idea.
This second installment of THEM: THE SCARE will consist of eight episodes and premiere on Thursday, April 25, 2024, in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide. All episodes will be available upon release.

Just in time for Spring, we have the horror-thriller Bloodline Killer, equipped with a cool ass mask, a Scream Queen, a Grammy nominee and an Oscar nominee. Well damn.
After the tragic murder of her family at the hands of her deranged and obsessed cousin, Moira Cole (Shawnee Smith) endeavors to rebuild her shattered life. Deeply traumatized, she withdraws into seclusion and moves to a suburban neighborhood with her two adult sons. But decades later, Moira is still confronted every October with her haunting past, as her life story becomes the gripping narrative behind an immensely popular horror film, “Skulleton.”
The cast also includes: Shawnee Smith, Taryn Manning, Drew Moerlein, James Gaudioso, Montanna Gillis, Kresh Novakovic, Adam Shippey, Anthony Gaudioso with Bruce Dern and Tyrese Gibson. It is directed by Ante Novakovic. Bloodline Killer is produced by Rob Simmons.
I have to admit I’m not sure what exactly is happening, is it someone imitating a film or is there a Skulleton? And also Skulleton looks cool. Good job on that mask.
Bloodline Killer is in select theaters and On Demand April 26, 2024.

This week, actress and producer Sydney Sweeney talks to WSJ.’s Lane Florsheim about her daily routine, her favorite high intensity workout, and only needing two hours of sleep, though she’s never even tried coffee. Check out excerpt below:
The actress and producer talks about watching nun videos on TikTok to prepare for ‘Immaculate,’ the high-intensity workout she favors and her reading goals.
Sydney Sweeney had her breakout on HBO’s teen drama “Euphoria” playing Cassie Howard, a lovesick high schooler on the constant verge of a breakdown. In the years since, the 26-year-old actress and producer has explored other genres, starring in the political thriller “Reality,” Marvel’s “Madame Web” and “Anyone but You,” the highest-grossing rom-com since “Crazy Rich Asians.”
Now, Sweeney is delving into horror as Cecilia, an American nun who joins a secretly sinister Italian convent in the new film “Immaculate.” The movie, a bonkers body-horror film, is a Sweeney passion project a decade in the making. After she auditioned for it at age 16, the production got shelved.
“There are so many projects that are absolutely incredible that never end up getting made,” Sweeney said. She decided to take “Immaculate” into her own hands: She asked her agents to track down its writer, Andrew Lobel, and worked with him to revise the script. She brought on “White Lotus” producer David Bernad; they got financing for the film and hired director Michael Mohan.
“I put the whole project together,” she said.
Sweeney, who was born in Spokane, Wash., lives in Los Angeles with her dog, Tank, and her fiancé, Jonathan Davino. She has a production company, Fifty-Fifty Films, and restores vintage cars for fun. Here, she discusses her minimal beauty routine, how she unwinds and the only thing she splurges on.
On what time she wakes up on Mondays, and the first thing she does after waking up:
“I usually wake up around 7:30. First I hug my dog, Tank, and we cuddle. Then I’ll go and wash my face, brush my teeth and get ready to jump start the day.”
On her admission that she only needs two hours sleep a night:
“I sleep however many hours I get in a night, but I’m known for being able to function off of very, very little for a very long amount of time.”
On her coffee and breakfast:
“I’ve never tried coffee before. I just drink water. For breakfast, I like a berry bowl. Maybe some granola, bacon, a croissant, but I always go to berries.”
On her exercise routine:
“I like this place called SolidCore. It’s a full-body high-intensity workout but on a reformer, and it’s been killing my ass. I love it.”
On her beauty routine:
“I’m pretty simple if I’m not working. I’m either a blush-and-mascara kind of girl or nothing at all.”
On the research she did for “Immaculate”:
“I definitely found myself on nun TikTok, which is a vast, vast place to be.”
On the hardest or riskiest thing she had to do physically for the role:
“When I’m running through the field trying to escape and it was freezing cold and I was covered in blood, it had been raining prior and the fields were sopping wet. There was ice on the ground. I was just running through anything and everything, the field was not cleared for the safety of my feet, which I enjoy because then it just feels more real for me. My feet were so frozen that I couldn’t feel rocks or sticks or anything slicing my feet open. It was crazy.”
On what else is in the pipeline for her Fifty-Fifty Films:
“I have a movie in development with Universal that I’m really excited for. Then “Barbarella” and a few other projects. I like to read books and get the rights, then package and develop and put it all together.”
On what she’s reading:
“I haven’t started a new book since I got back from Australia the second time [to promote “Anyone but You”]. Once I’m done with the press tour for “Immaculate,” I’m going to try to read a book a week.”
On what she does to relax and unwind:
“I love to do a face mask. I like these 111Skin face masks. And chill on the couch with Tank and read a book.”
On her hobby of restoring vintage cars, and whether she’s currently working on one:
“I have a car I’m about to start. I don’t want to spoil what it is yet because I’m going to post it on my TikTok, but I’ve had it for a while. I’ve been saving it, and it’s going to be my project this year while I film “Euphoria.”
On a genre or type of project she hasn’t gotten to work on yet that she’d like to:
“Fantasy.”
On her favorite splurge:
“I like to splurge on parties. I like to host parties for my friends and family.”
On anywhere she likes to pinch pennies:
“I love a good deal. Anything in life other than parties, I will be penny pinching.”
On the one piece of advice that’s guided her:
“Don’t take no for an answer.”

Oni Press, multiple Eisner Award and Harvey Award-winning publisher of comic books and graphic novels and indie video game vendor Devolver Digital create the first ever comic books and graphic novels inspired by the video game CULT OF THE LAMB, developed by Massive Monster.
Beginning with an all-new graphic novel adapting and expanding CULT OF THE LAMB’s sprawling cosmology by acclaimed writer Alex Paknadel (All Against All, Red Goblin) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Troy Little (Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons & Dragons, Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas), this ongoing publishing program begins with the launch of the CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE.
CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE tells the tale:
In a land pervaded by cruelty and evil, the most innocent among us – young Lamb, the last of their kind – was selected to become a final dark sacrifice. Their death would forever seal the darkest of the Old Gods from our realm and usher in a new age ruled by the four eldritch Bishops of the Old Faith. So Lamb died… then forged a deal of their own.
At the crossroads of eternity, Lamb was met by the imprisoned deity known as The One Who Waits, who revealed the lies and distortions of the false prophets who rule the world above. And so, Lamb was bequeathed the power and responsibilities of the Red Crown and returned to the land of living with unholy powers to exact vengeance and deliver a new cult unto the Earth.
The Bishops of the Old Faith must fall. The disbelievers must be destroyed. And, as Lamb assembles their flock, a new master shall reign over creation. Praise be to the Cult of the Lamb.
Throughout the latest Oni Premium Direct pre-order campaign, CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE also includes limited-edition apparel and merchandise, including high-quality ringspun t-shirts and patches silkscreened by Holy Mountain Printing; blotter paper posters and giclée art prints; devotional candles and match sets; original sketches and art pages by interior artist Troy Little.
Running through April 11 with new surprise items and stretch goals to be unlocked throughout, Oni Premium Direct’s CULT OF THE LAMB: THE FIRST VERSE deluxe pre-order campaign is now live and features extensive “Day One” discounts for backers who place their pre-order within the first 24 hours. All items included in the campaign will be fulfilled directly to backers directly in December 2024.

Homebody is a nostalgic survival horror puzzle game where you catch up with old friends and try not to get murdered. Homebody was developed by YouTube sensations The Game Grumps (Dream Daddy) and has gameplay and graphics that are reminiscent of PlayStation 2 games.
Emily and her college buddies have gathered at a remote rental house to watch the Perseid meteor shower. They try to rekindle the bonds they once had, but lingering emotional wounds and social anxieties leave Emily feeling more alone than ever. When the power suddenly goes out, it’s almost a relief. But under the cover of darkness, a mysterious killer picks them off one by one. If Emily can’t find a way out, she’ll be trapped in this nightmare forever.
Evade the killer, solve the house’s devious puzzles, and reconnect with your friends. Escaping the house may seem impossible at first, but with each attempt to put the pieces together, the bloodstained picture becomes more and more clear.
Game Features:* Retro-but-modern visuals that pay homage to classic Playstation graphics * A thrilling survival challenge and emotional narrative experience * Piece together the mystery in a looping narrative * Choice-driven dialogue * Killer with responsive AI * Continually shifting puzzles to solve * In-game journal to track clues and puzzle solutions * Designed by Game Grumps, the team behind Dream Daddy
The game is currently available on Playstation 4 and 5, XboxSeriesX|S, XboxOne, NintendoSwitch and PC. I haven’t played this just yet, but I’ll update you when I do.

In Korean folk traditions, “seire” is the twenty-one days after a baby is born in which they’re uniquely vulnerable to bad luck, curses – even evil spirits. Many superstitions surround these first three weeks in a baby’s life, and new mother Hae-mi carefully follows every one of them. Father Woo-jin is reluctantly willing to play along, but when he attends an ex-girlfriend’s funeral, he unwittingly opens the door to to dark supernatural dangers. Plagued by terrible nightmares, the skeptical Woo-jin gradually begins to understand the seire custom, as he is forced to unravel the mystery of what is haunting him and his family.
This is a creepy, yet gorgeous trailer. Some of these superstitions seem reasonable to me, it might be a POC thing. The film was written & directed by Park Kang. It stars: Seo Hyun-Woo, Ryu Abel, Shim Eun-Woo.
Seire premieres via VOD & Digital On June 16, 2023.

Yes, you read that correctly Swissploitation – Swiss grindhouse. Fathom Events, Raven Banner Releasing and Swissploitation Films are excited to present the premiere of the modern grindhouse epic Mad Heidi coming to theaters nationwide for a special one-night engagement.
This wicked odyssey of blood and cheese puts a new spin on the classic tale of “Heidi,” finding our heroine (Alice Lucy) all grown-up and living an idyllic life in the Swiss Alps with her beloved grandfather (David Schofield) far above an increasingly-dystopian landscape presided over by Our Very Swiss Leader (Casper Van Dien) – a ruthless dictator bent on world domination through dairy. But when her goat-herding lover (Kel Matsena) is brutally murdered by government thugs for distributing illegal cheese, Heidi embarks on a wild quest for vengeance that will bring her toe-to-toe against fierce female prison inmates, cheese-fueled Swiss super-soldiers, ninja nuns, and more, as she fights to take down the tyrannical regime and restore freedom to Switzerland.
Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein co-direct.
Ok, the trailer on this one does its job, because if you happen to be in the mood for a bit of grindhouse, this film seems as if it will hit the spot.

Director Scott Walker (The Frozen Ground) “delivers the scares in [a] good old fashioned horror film” (Irish Film Critic) with The Tank.
After unexpectedly inheriting a mysteriously abandoned coastal property, Ben packs up his family and travels to explore the place, bewildered about why his mother had never mentioned its existence. However, her reason for secrecy soon becomes clear when the family accidentally frees the ancient, long-dormant creature that had terrorized the entire region for generations—including Ben’s own parents.
The Tank stars Luciane Buchanan (“The Night Agent,” The New Legends of Monkey, Filthy Rich), Matthew Whelan (Narcos, “American Playboy: The Hugh Hefner Story”), Zara Nausbaum (The Other Side of Heaven 2: Fire of Faith) and newcomer Regina Hegemann as the creature.I love love the way the trailer starts out all happy go lucky and then the father does the ultimate horror move and moves something that needed to stay put – and the fuckery ensues.
The Tank, the creature feature is debuting on Blu-ray andDVD June 27. The film is available on digital now.

The creature feature, First Contact, which features strong practical effects and an outstanding performance by Wemple film-staple Anna Shields, premiered to raves at Panic Fest in April.
First Contact tells of two estranged adult siblings, Casey and Dan, who travel to their late scientist father’s farmhouse to make sense of his incomplete work. They soon learn that their father’s work was far more dangerous than they could ever imagine: An evil entity, buried in time and space for millions of years, has been released and has begun wreaking havoc on the locals. One by one the bodies start to pile up. Now, Dan and Casey must figure out the secrets of this extra – dimensional monster before it’s too late.
James Liddell, Chris Cimperman, Caitlin Duffy, Paul Kandarian also star in the pic.So, what I gather from the trailer is that they should sell this farmhouse and keep it moving. But, then we wouldn’t have a movie, I guess, so snoop – get dead. Fun.
First Contact is out on digital and DVD June 6.

A hellacious thunderstorm rages overhead of the small southern English tin mining town of Bleddington, waking teenager, Willard Jennings, from his sleep.
Through the fleeting flashes of lightning, he sees a broken and twisted figure of what appears to be a young girl with a porcelain mask embedded onto her face. With each new lightning flash, he sees the spirit one step closer to his bed, before vanishing, as mysteriously as she appeared.
In the days that follow, Willard, accompanied by an unlikely ally, who has shared a similar vision, begins to uncover clues about the girl’s true identity and learns that her vengeful spirit may have been the cause of many premature deaths for the townsfolk of Bleddington.
The unexplained deaths within the town recommence and Willard finds each new fatality is getting closer to the Victorian home overlooking the town in which his father and he reside.
In a race against time, he must find out who the girl is, how she died, and what she wants.
Set against the backdrop of 1985, The Girl with a Porcelain Face mixes traditional ghost story elements with mystery, intrigue, and a (blood) splattering of wit.
Published on May 1st 2023 by Sicaso Publishing, The Girl with a Porcelain Face is available in paperback (£7.00), Kindle format (£0.77 or free via app) and Audible on Amazon.

SUBSPECIES V: BLOODRISE follows the descent of Radu (once more played by series regular Anders Hove) from a noble warrior of the Church to a depraved, blood-hungry creature of the night. Stolen by crusaders on the night of his birth from his demon mother and vampire father, Radu grows up with no knowledge of his monstrous bloodline. Trained and exploited by a brotherhood of mystic monks to slay all enemies of the church, fate brings him back one night to his father’s castle, armed with the monster-slaying Sword of Laertes, to destroy the vampire Vladislas and reclaim a holy relic, the Bloodstone.
SUBSPECIES V: BLOODRISE is directed by series mainstay Ted Nicolaou (TERRORVISION), making SUBSPECIES one of the only horror franchises in which every entry is helmed by the same director.
The movie – which tells the origin story of the immortal bloodsucker Radu – will play at 26 Alamo Drafthouse locations for a special engagement on Monday, May 15th, 2023 as part of the company’s fabled Graveyard Shift series. The special Graveyard Shift presentation will include an exclusive introduction and pre-recorded post-screening Q&A with members of the cast and director, Ted Nicolaou.

Terror Films are getting into the horror television business, premiering a new 12-episode horror series titled THE DEAD HOUR on digital platforms in the spring.
A mysterious late night radio DJ brings her audience a new terrifying tale each night in this episodic horror anthology series.
It’s an anthology series featuring a creepy tale each episode bookended by a twisted radio announcer (Melissa Holder) introducing each episode.
“We created our setup, a delightful yet twisted radio DJ in a dark booth late at night telling her audience creepy tales. We would start each episode with her opening setup monologue and then we’d jump into the story as it plays out on screen. For over a year we would come up with hundreds of short story ideas before finally narrowing it down to the dozen or so that we wanted to do first.
Each episode has a different cast which gave us an opportunity to work with a vast array of talent. Our stories definitely are rooted in our commentary on today’s world and culture. We have our external monsters but also, we delve into the monsters inside us as well.”
Creators Daniel B. Iske & Scott Coleman say classic The Twilight Zone was their key inspiration for the limited series, which premieres May 12 globally.

Written and directed by Kyra Elise Gardner, daughter of legendary special effects artist Tony Gardner, Living With Chucky looks back at the groundbreaking horror franchise by those there from the beginning. The documentary details the history of the Child’s Play films by the cast and crew, in addition to Gardner’s own relationship with the series and the impact it had on her family. Gardner, who grew up alongside Chucky the killer doll, seeks out other families involved with the Child’s Play films as they recount their experiences working on the franchise and what it means to be a part of the “Chucky” family.
Living with Chucky takes an in depth look at the groundbreaking Child’s Play franchise from the perspective of a filmmaker who grew up within it. Featuring interviews with cast and crew such as Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Alex Vincent, creator Don Mancini, and much more, this personal film recounts the dedication, creativity and sacrifice that went into making the franchise and its long-lasting impact on the horror community.
Storming into pop culture in the late 1980s, the three-foot menace known as Chucky, proved that Child’s Play was anything but. The horror film went on to spawn six sequels, a television series, a reboot, comic books, a video game and merchandise.

On the day of his scheduled execution, a convicted serial killer (Sean Patrick Flanery, THE BOONDOCK SAINTS) gets a last-minute, court-ordered psychiatric evaluation. The killer astonishes visiting psychiatrist Dr. James Martin (Jordan Belfi, Entourage) by insisting that instead of trying to avoid his execution, he is in fact a demon—Nefarious—who wants his execution to go forward.
Nefarious further predicts that before the day is out, the doctor will have committed three murders of his own. As a storm gathers outside the prison, Nefarious chips away at Dr. Martin’s resolve and conviction, confounding and unsettling him so much that he begins to doubt his own sanity and fears for his life. As the two face off, they deliver crackling energy and a series of disturbing preternatural revelations propelling them to an inexorable, astounding conclusion.
The film stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Jordan Belfi, features Tom Ohmer, Eric Hansen, Stelio Savante, Robert Peters, and Cameron Arnett with a cameo by Glenn Beck – (for why?!?).

HOUSE ON FIRE, the debut graphic novel by writer and artist Matt Battaglia, forces us to confront a dystopian future that’s dangerously closer than we want to believe.
In HOUSE ON FIRE, Battaglia conjures up his world – our world – with wild two-color brushwork reminiscent of the great Paul Pope and a minimalist writing style that evokes and questions rather than lectures.
Battaglia’s protagonist leaves his rural home to travel to the lawless land that was once a bustling metropolis, in an attempt to obtain black-market medicine for his wife – sick with the unnamed contagion that brought the world to its knees. As we journey along with him, we learn just how sick the whole world has become. He presents his papers and medical clearance to pass military checkpoints, he makes deals in the new barter economy, he falls in with the criminal underworld, he makes split-second decisions about life and death.
Matt Battaglia is an artist and video producer. His work in comics started from coloring for BOOM! Studios and Roche Limit at Image Comics. He collaborated with author Michael Moreci for their book Indoctrination at Z2 Comics. After a multi-year hiatus from making comics, he returned with his solo work Ghosts of the Carousel published by Dauntless Stories.
HOUSE ON FIRE will be available in a 100-page softcover and will retail at $16 USD. The book will be released in stores March 28, 2023. Living the Line’s website will also feature a signed version by writer/artist Matt Battaglia.

In 1978, the screenwriting trio of John DeBello, Costa Dillon, and Stephen Peace cultivated a demented seedling of an idea into the horror-comedy Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.
In 2023, Encyclopocalypse Publications is uprooting the vine-ripened viscousness once again. Attack of the Killer Tomatoes follows the tribulations of Mason Dixon, frontman for a motley crew of do-gooders tasked by the President to discover why the once-peaceful produce has unleashed hell upon humankind. Slathering contemporary film and hot-button issues of the period – war, commercialism, government conspiracies – underneath a saucy red coating of murder and mayhem, Tomatoes’ story is as outlandish as it is original. The film has ingrained itself into the lexicon of B-movie buffs and has endured across generations of fandom through sequels, video games, and even a Saturday morning cartoon series.
Penned by Stoker-award-winning author Jeff Strand and releasing on April 14th, 2023 Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: The Novelization will be available everywhere books are sold. You can pre-order now. You can buy direct physical copies from Encyclopocalypse right now at BuyHorrorBooks.com and receive early shipping.
An audiobook version is in production right now, narrated by Horror Audiobook legend Joe Hempel.

On June 6th, Headpress Books is releasing CORMAN/POE: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960–1964 – charting the making of Corman’s classic and influential “Poe Cycle” of horror films, featuring a foreword by Corman, himself.
Written by author and filmmaker Chris Alexander, CORMAN/POE: Interviews and Essays Exploring the Making of Roger Corman’s Edgar Allan Poe Films, 1960–1964 is the only book to fully examine this important chapter in horror film history. In-depth conversations with the maverick Roger Corman are book-ended by engaging critical analyses of each of the eight films, which together stand as a fully realized and consistent creative vision.
Produced on modest budgets for American International Pictures, iconic independent film director Roger Corman’s adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe stories were popular in their time as escapist horror cinema. Most starred horror icon Vincent Price and were written (and “freely adapted”) by the likes of Richard Matheson, Charles Beaumont and Robert Towne. Today the series is recognized as unique and sophisticated, one that delivers decadent Gothic chills while exploring ideas of faith, sexuality, psychology and the supernatural.

She will be about that life. There’s nothing more to say than it’s a cute trailer and looks like the Mouse spared no expense on the budget, so it also a beautiful looking trailer as well. I also like of the actors, and that young man playing the son is doing what needs to be done.
Directed by award-winning filmmaker Justin Simien, the film features an all-star ensemble cast including LaKeith Stanfield, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny DeVito, Rosario Dawson, Chase W. Dillon and Dan Levy, with Jamie Lee Curtis and Jared Leto as The Hatbox Ghost.

Encylopocalypse Publication (the independent horror and grindhouse press run by Saturn-Award-winning producer and New York Times bestselling author Mark Alan Miller) is set to release their first graphic novel—WHERE WOLF, a creator-owned graphic novel from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese and Jack Morelli.
In WHERE WOLF, something scary stalks the streets of Texas, leaving a trail of corpses in its wake. The only person standing in its path is Larry Chaney, a slacker reporter who can’t hold a job, can’t keep a girlfriend, and can’t stop getting in the way of his own career. Larry must go undercover at a local furry convention if he hopes to stop the beast dead set on turning the gathered attendees into an all-you-can-eat buffet. The graphic novel is a love letter to werewolf fans, with an irreverent bent that takes decades of lycanthropic lore to new heights and surprising places.
This horror-comedy comic book was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on legendary horror brand FANGORIA’s website. The book is set in the wild world of furry conventions, small-town Texas journalism and werewolf whodunits. Leading up to the wide release of the book, writer Rob Saucedo will tour movie theaters across the country—screening werewolf films and providing an opportunity to purchase the graphic novel early at concurrent signing events beginning on March 31.
In advance of the wide release of the book, Saucedo will tour movie theatres nationwide, screening a selection of werewolf films, including SILVER BULLET (via a brand new DCP that will debut as part of this tour), AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON in 4K, THE HOWLING in 4K, WOLF COP and more. Additional locations will be added through the end of 2023.
Online and brick-and-mortar retailers will be able to order the standard and hardcover versions of WHERE WOLF through Ingram Distribution Network. Retailers can order copies of the limited-edition variant cover directly from Encyclopocalypse Publications by emailing info@encyclopocalypse.com. International retail outlets can order by emailing info@encyclopocalypse.com.
Customers can order all three versions of the book directly from BuyHorrorBooks.com or from retailers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

The Blackening centers around a group of Black friends who reunite for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a twisted killer. Forced to playby his rules, the friends soon realize this ain’t no motherf** game.
Directed by Tim Story (Ride Along, Think Like A Man , Barbershop ) and co-written by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip, Harlem) and Dewayne Perkins (“The Amber Ruffin Show,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”).It stars: Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, Melvin Gregg, X Mayo, Dewayne Perkins, Antoinette Robertson, Sinqua Walls, with Jay Pharoah and Yvonne Orji.
I admit it, I am so excited for this one. This trailer is literally the embodiment of how me and my friends talk about horror movies. No, we are not going into vacant cabins in the woods, splitting up and why does it seem the Black characters die first? Just basically these characters need to stop making stupid choices – white people shit. Love y’all. The Blackening seems to be a hyper-meta satire extravaganza and I think I will love it. If it’s good, watching this film can become my new Juneteenth tradition.
The Blackening is in theaters June 16, 2023.

Charting Fogle’s rise from morbidly obese teenage outcast to beloved Subway spokesman, JARED FROM SUBWAY: CATCHING A MONSTER offers exclusive access into the rise and fall of the disgraced weight loss sensation and the investigation that brought him down. Over the course of three parts, the docuseries provides key insight from local Florida journalist Rochelle Herman, a single mother of two who later worked with the F.B.I to investigate Fogle, revealing her secret recordings of Fogle’s disgusting and disturbing confessions.
Additionally, JARED FROM SUBWAY: CATCHING A MONSTER explores the charges brought against Taylor, the former Executive Director of Fogle’s charity, The Jared Foundation, and how that investigation ultimately led to the raid of Fogle’s home that uncovered child pornography. Through emotional interviews with Russell’s stepdaughters, Hannah and Christian, who were victimized by Fogle and their stepfather, the docuseries showcases a holistic portrait of just how far Fogle’s crimes really stretched and the investigation that led to him pleading guilty in 2015 to child pornography charges and traveling to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor.
ID’s new three-part series, JARED FROM SUBWAY: CATCHING A MONSTER, reveals the shocking, previously untold story of the investigation that exposed the monster insidiously lurking behind Fogle’s charming persona and how his true nature as a child sex predator was finally revealed.All three parts of JARED FROM SUBWAY: CATCHING A MONSTER premiere back to back starting Monday, March 6 at 9/8c on ID and will be available to stream the same day on discovery+.

Living with Chucky takes an in depth look at the groundbreaking Child’s Play franchise from the perspective of a filmmaker who grew up within it. Featuring interviews with cast and crew such as Brad Dourif, Jennifer Tilly, Alex Vincent, creator Don Mancini, and much more, this personal film recounts the dedication, creativity and sacrifice that went into making the franchise and its long-lasting impact on the horror community.
Storming into pop culture in the late 1980s, the three-foot menace known as Chucky, proved that Child’s Play was anything but. The horror film went on to spawn six sequels, a television series, a reboot, comic books, a video game and merchandise.
Written and directed by Kyra Elise Gardner, daughter of legendary special effects artist Tony Gardner, Living With Chucky looks back at the groundbreaking horror franchise by those there from the beginning. The documentary details the history of the Child’s Play films by the cast and crew, in addition to Gardner’s own relationship with the series and the impact it had on her family. Gardner, who grew up alongside Chucky the killer doll, seeks out other families involved with the Child’s Play films as they recount their experiences working on the franchise and what it means to be a part of the “Chucky” family.
With a dad in special effects makeup, blood and guts became a normality for Kyra at a young age. Combat nursing was her first goal, but she soon discovered that real blood is way grosser than the fake stuff. She’s been pursuing a career in directing since attending Florida State’s film program and plans on creating quirky fantastical films from the lore of her unconventional childhood.
Living With Chucky is written and directed by Kyra Elise Gardner. It features: Abigail Breslin, Adam Hurtig, Alex Vincent, Billy Boyd, Brad Dourif, Christine Elise McCarthy, Dan Povenmire, David Kirschner, Don Mancini, Elle Lorraine, Fiona Dourif, James A. Janisse, Jennifer Tilly, John Waters, Kyra Gardner, Lin Shaye, Marlon Wayans, Tony Gardner, Tony Timpone and many more.
It was the official selection of Popcorn Frights Film Festival 2022, Fantastic Fest 2022, and Screamfest Horror Film Festival 2022.
The documentary runs about 100 minutes. Cinedigm and Bloody Disgusting will premiere the Living With Chucky on its horror streaming service SCREAMBOX and on all major digital platforms on April 4 in the US and Canada.

In April Wright’s fascinating documentary BACK TO THE DRIVE-IN, we go behind the scenes to visit eleven unique family-owned drive-ins across the country to experience their passion and determination to keep their theaters alive. It’s a story of human resilience.
When the pandemic hit, drive-ins were suddenly the only safe venue in town, with press coverage about how drive-ins are “back,” and how they are thriving. But this documentary goes behind the headlines to learn the truth, spending a whole night with 11 very different drive-ins in 8 states all over the country, from preparations before the customers arrive, to selling tickets, opening the snack bar, and getting the movie on screen, we discover these family-owned businesses are actually struggling to survive.
This doc is about authentic drive-ins and the passionate people who run them, but more broadly it highlights questions about the future of the theatrical experience, and the challenges of many small businesses wondering whether they will survive and make it to the other side of the pandemic.
I vaguely have a single memory of going to a drive-in when I was I guess about six-years old. I remember my mom let us wear our pj’s because we were in the car, and I’m pretty sure we went to sleep on the movie comfortably in the back seat. I would love to try again as a grown up to see a drive-in movie. Honestly, I would have thought the pandemic would have revitalized the appetite for drive-ins. I cannot wait to watch this doc, where I guess my questions will be answered.

Food and photographs by Rachel RiedermanUlysses Press Release February 14, 2023“Once Upon a Rind in Hollywood: 50 Movie-Themed Cheese Platters and Snack Boards for Film Fanatics” by Editors of Ulysses Press with food and photographs by Rachel Riederman is a unique full-color cookbook starring 50 different snack board ideas, from timeless cheese boards and charcuterie to candy platters and cocktail pairings, all themed around iconic movies.
Whether you’re streaming an AFI classic or classically bad movie, munchies are a must-have. With gorgeous flat-lay photography for every movie-themed board, Once Upon a Rind in Hollywood outlines what you need to create cheesy cinematic pairings (and even cheesier puns) like:
- May the Fromage Be with You (Star Wars)
- Draw Me Like One of Your French Gruyères (Titanic)
- I’ll Harvarti What She’s Having (When Harry Met Sally)
- Here’s Looking at You, Curd (Casablanca)
- Brie-king Dawn (Twilight)
- Roquefort Horror Picture Show (Rocky Horror Picture Show) and many more!
“If you love movies and you love cheese, this is the book for you,” says food photographer and recipe developer Rachel Riederman. “As you settle in to watch your favorite film, don’t merely serve popcorn, but rather a perfect selection of cheeses, meats, candies, and snacks, all perfectly paired to complement whatever 90- to 180-minute adventure you’re about to embark on.”
Enough from the publishers, here’s our opinion. This is a fun colorful and humorous cookbook. First off you don’t need to be a chef or an experienced cook to use and enjoy this book. But, I would recommend you be a fan of movies to get the playful takes on some of the recipe names. For example, May the Fromage Be With You (Star Wars), The Nightmare Before Charcuterie (The Nightmare Before Christmas) and Feta & The Furious (Fast & The Furious).
Riederman does a great job of developing these movie inspired snack boards and cheese platters. Every genre is represented including romance, action and drama and of course our favorite – horror.
The cookbook is beautifully photographed and Riederman styles each recipe with such care it not only looks delicious it’s also elegant and appealing. Pick this book up if you are planning a movie watch party or just want a cute book to reference snacks for a solo movie night.

Director(s): Scott Major
Writer(s): Christopher Gist
Starring: Nadine Garner, Samantha Tolj, Damien Walshe-Howling
Runtime: 104 minutes
Rating: n/a
Our Rating: ★★★ Good / Interesting Concept
The biggest take away from Line Of Fire is you cannot push people when they do not have anything else to lose. In this film, this is a bit of an understatement.
When policewoman Samantha Romans (award-winner Nadine Garner, “Savage River”, “The Doctor Blake Mysteries”) fails to intervene in a shooting where her own son dies, she draws the condemnation of her colleagues and community as well as the attention of ambitious journalist, Jamie Connard (Samantha Tolj). Keen to reignite the career she put on hold to have children, Jamie ignores Romans’ pleas to be left alone and pursues her relentlessly. And with nothing to lose, Romans retaliates by forcing Jamie into a night of terror that threatens everything Jamie holds dear.
Although the film is listed as a thriller, it feels more like an action packed character study. The story mainly revolves around policewoman Samantha Romans, played impressively by award-winner Nadine Garner. Samantha who had apparently lost people in her past only had her teenage son left. Then an active shooter takes over his school, when she was on the scene – alone, she did not go into the school, we are not shown why, but the public brands her a coward. Her fellow cops turn on her. All of that scrutiny however, cannot really compare to her inner turmoil. Samantha is emotionally and mentally broken.
Then Jamie enters the story, played by Samantha Tolj, as the worst type of tabloid “journalist” wanting so badly to be relevant, to be a star – she passes judgement, trolls Samantha in the unrelenting pursuit of a story. As a fourth wave feminist myself, I hated that this character was so ambitious, that she seemed to lack empathy or compassion. Being a bad person to get what you want, does not pull anyone forward – soapbox moment. Samantha ultimately goes too far in her pursuit of a resolution – which is again an understatement for her later actions in the film. I will not tell exactly what Samantha does, but she does destroy Jamie’s life in the process.
All of the actors especially the two female leads do an amazing job with these very different characters. The story itself is compelling enough, however I am unsure she would have not received some support from somewhere. Line Of Fire is an emotional movie and it is dark as hell. I am almost certain this is loosely based on the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Although, the officer in that case did not take Samantha’s course of action, but the public ridicule was certainly on par. Maybe rightfully so, that is not for me to judge in this moment.
Overall, the film does its job by making you have more empathy for the situation; it makes you question your thought process of your judgement of Samantha. If you are the mood for a ride on an emotional rollercoaster then definitely See It!

The McCabe family’s weekend getaway was never meant to be a life-changing experience. Governor William McCabe (Nick Baillie), a respected politician, was looking forward to some rest and relaxation. His beautiful wife Lauren (Melissa Anschutz) and distant step daughter Erin (Alix Lane) strain to enjoy their time together, as the facade of the trophy family has worn dangerously thin. Things take a severe turn for the worse when a charismatic stranger (Kevin Interdonato) knocks on their door and triggers an unexpected chain of events.

Stolen by crusaders on the night of his birth, he has no knowledge of his bloodline: his mother is a demon; his father is a vampire. Trained and exploited by a brotherhood of mystic monks to slay all enemies of the church, fate brings him back one night to the castle of his father, armed with the monster-slaying Sword of Laertes, to destroy the vampire Vladislas and reclaim a holy relic: The Bloodstone.
The events of that night turn Radu from a noble man into a vampire with no master, setting him on a centuries-long quest for sustenance, and companionship, for the treacherous one who stole him from the sun, and for the Bloodstone he hopes will bring him peace.
Ok, so I didn’t see Blood Rise 1-4, but this trailer is dope as hell.
Series regular Anders Hove (Subspecies, “General Hospital”) returns as the vampire Radu, and Denice Duff (Subspecies, Dark Vengeance) returns to the film series in her new role as Helena. Duff is a familiar face to fans, having played Michelle Morgan for the last three main Subspecies movies. Director Ted Nicolaou also returns, making him one of the only directors to helm every entry in a single horror franchise.
BLOOD RISE: SUBSPECIES V, is set to exclusively premiere on Full Moon Features this month and will be made available on Amazon Prime shortly after its debut.

Director(s): Michael Winnick
Writer(s): Michael Winnick
Starring: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Rachelle Goulding, Elyse Levesque, Lochlyn Munro, Garry Chalk, Trezzo Mahoro, Anita Brown, Bradley Stryker
Runtime: 1h 25m
Rating: R
Our Rating: ★★½
During my initial look at the trailer, I was reminded of quite a few TV shows and films that have the same premise. Here a man Sam, played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, wakes up in the hospital after a terrible car accident to find it empty. Think Rick at the start of “The Walking Dead.” In the first minutes we also learn Sam via flashback has a pregnant wife and they appear to be in a loving marriage. But, much like films of this nature can we trust these things to be true? More about that later. In the first 5 minutes, Sam is attacked by a fellow patient, and he has to fight for his life. Afterwards us the viewer are trying to figure out what exactly is happening in this hospital and more importantly where is everybody?
Jonathan Rhys Meyers stars in the terrifying, edge-of-your-seat thriller. After a near-fatal car accident, Sam (Meyers) wakes to discover he is trapped in an abandoned hospital by mysterious and sinister forces that have no intention of letting him leave…
Spoiler Alert: Turn back now if you do not want spoilers – save yourself.
First off, hat tips to most of the actors in the film, because they are trying their best to sell us on whatever their character’s point of view is – even though none of the backstories really gelled. There are three main storylines in this film, each of the patients are trapped in this hospital because they are facing some moral dilemma outside of what injury, accident or surgery that brought them into the hospital.
Full disclosure, I am of a certain age and Jonathan Rhys Meyers will always make me think of our younger days of yore, ie Bend it Like Beckham, The Tudors and of course the short-lived tv show “Dracula.” With his character Sam he does a good job of conveying an arrogant womanizer which we later learn he is, but through his actions on screen in this sinister hospital we want him to prevail. He is vulnerable and just looking to the different characters for direction on how to survive and escape. Sam assumes the mantle of hero, and honestly you will like him in that role.
There is an interesting storyline involving Lochlyn Munro’s character, Frank and Trezzo Mahoro’s character Carter. It was touching on racial bias; however the resolution is so unsatisfying, that it made the whole thing a bit out of place here. It is such a wasted opportunity in my opinion.
The other storyline involving Elyse Levesque’s character, Monica, who is in hospital to have breast augmentation surgery. I could not gage if she was being judged for her vanity or if she was judging herself for her vanity. This is not full fleshed out, maybe for time purposes but it is definitely noticeable that we are not sure why Monica is here.
The problem with the film is as stated it borrows from a few places, it has Cube vibes, “Twilight Zone” – The Eye of the Beholder vibes, even a little bit of The Others, here we never fully understand what is at play in the hospital, even though one of the characters in the end tries to explain it to us. And, then the ending is open-ended – I loathe that, I do not want homework afterwards, I want to be told exactly what happened. I am lazy.

Director(s): M. Night Shyamalan
Writer(s): M. Night Shyamalan, Steve Desmond, Michael Sherman (screenplay by), Paul Tremblay (based on the book “The Cabin at the End of the World” by)
Starring: Dave Bautista, Jonathan Groff, Ben Aldridge, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Kristen Cui, Abby Quinn and Rupert Grint
Runtime: 1h 40m
Rating: R
Our Rating: ★★★½
My love–hate relationship with M. Night Shyamalan’s work goes all the way back to 1999, like most everyone else I was so impressed with ‘The Sixth Sense’, and I will not even pretend that I was one of those people who figured out the twist. I did not know Haley and Bruce’s secret until the very end. Loved it. Then came ‘Unbreakable’, Signs, The Village all of which although I liked these films, I was steadily becoming less impressed, entertained – yes, impressed no – there were things in each of these narratives that did not make sense or left plot left holes that irked me.
Then came Lady in the Water, a cinematically gorgeous film, but so unsatisfying as a story even though it was trying to be a novel visualized. It did not succeed, and Paul Giamatti could not save it. Now for the hate, The Happening, The Last Airbender, After Earth, Old, just SIGH. But there were little spots of you know what M. Knight this ain’t bad, like The Visit, Spilt, Glass and the first season of “Wayward Pines”, and “Servant” (for me I stopped watching in season two because like everything, the story got convoluted and too much work for me to keep up with).
This brings me to the titled work Knock at the Cabin. I saw the trailer and was intrigued and then I saw M. Night Shyamalan’s name and I have to admit to being biased. But, I saw Dave Bautista, whom I am a fan, so I thought why not? Having bored y’all with all that here it comes, my unasked for opinion on this film.
While vacationing at a remote cabin, a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse. With limited access to the outside world, the family must decide what they believe before all is lost.
There are definitely parts of this film that I really liked. All of the actors are great here and engaging. The hat tip performances go the Bautista and newcomer, Kristen Cui. In the film she’s eight, and she is so good. Cui manages to emote and engage the hell out us viewers. You will find yourself really hoping when it is all said and done she survives at all costs.
Bautista once again separates himself from that other wrestler turned “actor”, in another performance. Bautista has managed to step outside of the action star which I’m sure that was what Hollywood was preparing him to be. Instead he is becoming a great character actor, embodying whatever the role requires. In this he is a large nerd, on a terrible mission. Bautista’s character, Leonard, manages to be soft-spoken and intimidating all at once. He is also the most sympathetic of all the characters.
Spoiler Alert: Turn back now if you do not want spoilers – save yourself.
There are a few things with the story that go unresolved. The Rupert Grint backstory was supposed to be a red herring for us, but then it was left on the table. I am also unsure why we are shown Andrew’s parents in the film in a flashback.
Overall, Knock at the Cabin is truly one of the better films from Shyamalan. But, there are parts where he offered more plot points and then left them lingering without a purpose. The “twist” also did not really twist and was a bit underwhelming for me. I guess I should read the book, and then maybe some of his choices will make sense.

A series of prostitute murders disturbs the public with the thought of a serial killer on the loose. Hélène Picard, a prostitute, is sentenced and executed for the murders, but shortly thereafter similar crimes continue. Executioner Louis Guilbeau meanwhile develops a relationship with the investigating officer, Solange, who soon learns Louis may not be who he says he is.
Filmed in the tumultuous events of May 1968, Jean-Denis Bonan’s A Woman Kills never found distribution due to controversy around the director’s first film and producer Anatole Dauman (The Beast, Hiroshima mon amour) was unable to find distribution for the film for 45 years until Luna Park Films brought it back to life in a new restoration. Now released on Blu-ray for the first time anywhere, audiences outside of France can finally experience this utterly singular film, a new wave-influenced serial killer film that presents its narrative in an almost true crime approach yet focuses more on the psychological aspect with echoes of German Expressionism and Franju, set to a discordant, jazzy score.
This is reading a little too arthouse for my basic sentiment. I try with these but, I never appreciate what they are doing and I just feel bored. But, my job is to bring you guys options and this might be up your alley.
The Blu-ray of A Woman Kills feature sa brand-new HD restoration of the feature, along with newly-produced and archival bonus features for fans to devour. Radiance Films will release the Blu-ray on February 7, 2023.

Director(s): Filipe Melo
Writer(s): Filipe Melo
Starring: Adriano Luz
Runtime: 23 m
Rating: n/a
Our Rating: ★★★
The Lone Wolf is a 20 minute film from Portuguese director, Filipe Melo, that takes you through a cycle of doubt and outright disbelief to a place of a very welcomed resolution.
One night on Viva FM’s late night show, host Vitor Lobo gets a phone call from an old friend – a call with such shocking implications and unexpected turns that it could change everything.
The film stars Adriano Luz as the radio host. Luz’s performance is superb and engaging. Luz is virtually acting by himself throughout the short film because the other character is simply a radio caller’s voice. He is unseen by us the viewers. Also, hat tips to the voice actor. He also gives a noteworthy performance, which is always difficult to do without us being able to see this person’s physical movements and facial expressions. It is truly disturbing to hear him tell his story.
Melo manages to capture a complete tale in a very short timeframe. Overall, The Lone Wolf is a compelling short film. Although the film isn’t streaming or in theaters at this time, however we suggest you add it to your watchlist – see it.

I was originally drawn in by the concept art, but then I watched the trailer and got pulled into the narrative. It has a very Tales from the Crypt vibe to it.

“Ever since watching classics horror movies, such as Night of the Living Dead and Halloween, at far too young of an age, we have always had an unshakeable love and obsession with film, but especially Horror. In our opinion, it is the most flexible, creative, and honest subgenre, and it affords those who embrace it an opportunity to tell stories that tap into every aspect of the human experience,” says directors Scott and Kameron Hale.
They continue, “Free to a Bad Home wasn’t the next feature we had planned – that one awaits a larger budget – but it was, in retrospect, the next logical step in our career. With our skills refined, our cast expanded, and our ambitions greater than ever, Free to a Bad Home, like the cursed objects in the film, found us and changed us, and now we’re ready to unleash it onto an unsuspecting world.”

AWA Studios announced the forthcoming launch of BLACK TAPE, an all-new original mystery comic series that tells the fictional story of a miscreant and rock idol named Jack King, who drops dead under mysterious circumstances in the middle of a sold-out show.
Penned by award-winning comic creator Dan Panosian (IRON MAN, WOLVERINE) and illustrated by acclaimed international artist Dalibor Talajić (DEADPOOL, LOGAN), BLACK TAPE highlights the best of horror, heavy metal, and 1960s Los Angeles all while attempting to uncover what really happened to the rock’n’roll legend.
In BLACK TAPE, Jack King was a rock’n’roll god who projected a stage persona on par with the devil. After Jack dies on stage, his widow, Cindy, grapples with grief and struggles to protect his legacy, unaware that she is being surrounded by dark forces that covet the master tapes to Jack’s final, unreleased album – a heavy metal masterpiece that just might open a doorway to hell. Throughout the four issues, the series is full of mood and tension that builds to big plot twists and supernatural action set pieces.
BLACK TAPE is written by Dan Panosian, illustrated by Dalibor Talajić, colored by Ive Svorcina (KING THOR, CONAN), and lettered by Steve Wands (AQUAMAN, SUPERGIRL). Issue #1 will be available February 1, 2023, both digitally and in stores wherever comic books are sold, with the following four issues available on a monthly basis.

Forced to straddle alternative realities, a blue collar cop must evolve beyond his badge, overcoming his own dark past in The Karma Factor, a work of visionary fiction that explores the boundaries of human consciousness against the backdrop of a classic suspense thriller from author, poet and musician Thomas Lane. With a purpose that transcends the genre, Lane expertly weaves the novel’s wider message in a ground-breaking, white-knuckle ride between worlds, as characters set out to make karmic amendments, right wrongs and re-establish the power of choice.
Haunted by a nameless guilt, tired of running from his demons, NYPD detective James Early decides to end his life. Taunting an armed suspect into blind fury, he makes himself an easy target. But the bullets fired at point blank range are mysteriously diverted. There is no blood and no wounds. Instead of the end, Early finds himself, miraculously, at the beginning of a long and arduous quest to solve the riddle of the missing bullets and the search for meaning: “If I’ve been given some kind of reprieve … what in God’s name am I supposed to do with it?”
The Karma Factor flips the good-versus-evil theme on its side as it traverses the ages, interlacing past lives with present, on a hero’s quest for redemption. Lane juxtaposes veteran city detectives and an elusive serial killer with a visionary monk sequestered in an abandoned monastery in the Tibetan Himalayas.
When protagonist Early sets out to uncover the mysterious force that saved his life, he discovers that, in his previous lifetime, he had been part of a secret mission. Led by a Tibetan sage, a team of advanced thinkers had gained access to the Akashic Records, a repository of every soul’s thoughts, deeds and actions through time. Their goal? To use these records to locate key individuals’ unhandled karma in the past –– and help those souls be accountable for their misdeeds. The mission’s ultimate challenge would be to restore an awareness of possibilities, unburdened by the past, to a world engulfed by denial and fear.
Lane adds a unique perspective to the genre: “I see the world as a place of grit and suffering and magic. I wanted to capture those contrasting elements, show them as parts of a whole when viewed through a lens that is vast and kind and timeless. Although the story revolves around a cop and a serial killer, the book is fundamentally about hope –– a hope that understands both bullets and prayers, and the path that goes beyond.”
Thomas Lane is a multi-dimensional artist drawn to spaces where art, spirit and social justice intersect. He is the author of The Artists’ Manifestoand a catalog of songs, poems, screenplays, novels and paintings. He also founded The Helen Hudson Foundation, a charitable organization focused on social issues, including homelessness, racism and the environment. He currently lives with his wife in Rhode Island.
This one seems to be James Bond meets Sherlock Holmes meets Siddhartha. I’m adding this to my book list, and I’ll let you guys know my thoughts. Watch this space.
“The Karma Factor” is available from Amazon.com and wherever fine books are sold.

While vacationing at a remote cabin, a young girl and her parents are taken hostage by four armed strangers who demand that the family make an unthinkable choice to avert the apocalypse. With limited access to the outside world, the family must decide what they believe before all is lost.
The screenplay is written by: M. Night Shyamalan and Steve Desmond & Michael Sherman, based on the book The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. It’s directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
I have to admit that even though Shyamalan’s work is so hit or miss, I’m into this one. Mostly, because I really enjoy Dave Bautista performances in almost everything. It’s going to be interesting to see what he does in this one.

What a great horror franchise day! The PR people over at Paramount released the official first trailer and poster for the upcoming Scream VI film and I have thoughts.
Following the latest Ghostface killings, the four survivors leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter. In Scream VI, the surviving gang from the last film and Gayle, sans Sydney, now with Kirby return to their roles in the franchise alongside newcomers Dermot Mulroney and Samara Weaving.
Scream VI stars: Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Jack Champion, Henry Czerny, Mason Gooding, Liana Liberato, Dermot Mulroney, Devyn Nekoda, Jenna Ortega, Tony Revolori, Josh Segarra, Samara Weaving with Hayden Panettiere and Courtney Cox.
This chapter is written by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick and directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett.
Ghostface in Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s “Scream VI.”Hayden Panettiere (“Kirby Reed”) stars in Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s “Scream VI.”Courteney Cox (“Gale Weathers”) stars in Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s “Scream VI.”L-r, Melissa Barrera (“Sam Carpenter”) , Jenna Ortega (“Tara Carpenter”), Jasmin Savoy Brown (“Mindy Meeks-Martin”) and Mason Gooding (“Chad Meeks-Martin”) star in Paramount Pictures and Spyglass Media Group’s “Scream VI.”I am a huge fan of this franchise, even the second one which seems to be everyone’s least favorite. The last Scream, which was the fifth installment was in my opinion the way to come back after an 11 year gap. Instead being overly meta, this one went dark and serious and killed off a beloved character. From the looks of the trailer above they seem to be staying on that path. And finally Kirby is back- hooray dolls, hooray.
Scream VI is bringing his/her/they mask to a theater near you and I also suspect on Peacock as well, so a couch near you as well on March 10, 2023.

For today’s new trailer, we present Blood.
Jess (Michelle Monaghan), a nurse and mother recently separated from her husband (Skeet Ulrich), moves her daughter Tyler (Skylar Morgan Jones) and young son Owen (Finlay Wojtak-Hissong) back into her family farmhouse. Shortly after settling in, Owen’s dog escapes into the woods and returns days later, blood-soaked and rabid. When the dog attacks and bites him, the resulting infection grows more shocking as Owen’s behavior becomes frightening and deadly. As he spirals deeper into the depths of the illness, Jess discovers a disturbing cure, which makes her question how far she is willing to go to keep her child alive.
The film stars: Michelle Monaghan, Skeet Ulrich, Finlay Wojtak-Hissong, June B. Wilde and Skylar Morgan Jones. It was written by Will Honley and directed by Brad Anderson.
It’s giving Let The Right One In In and Cujo vibes. I always like when vampirism is approached as a viral infection, so this looks like an interesting take. And, more importantly, Michelle Monaghan is putting in the work here. Her performance looks impressive.

According to the description Mask Of The Devil is a unique mix of supernatural horror and dark comedy.
Africa, 1878. A group of white mercenaries attempt to steal a tribal mask, unwittingly releasing an ancient evil. In present day, the mask is purchased as a prop by a dysfunctional band of adult filmmakers. When a fiery young woman named Mary accepts a job with these low-rent wannabes, the ancient evil finds the perfect conduit and unleashes unimaginable carnage on the unsuspecting cast and crew.
Ok, I’ve watched this trailer a couple of times, and I’m unsure of what the hell. The character explaining what the company does to the Mary character is funny. That’s all I got. I have a screener, so I’ll watch it and let you know.
Mask Of The Devil was written, directed and produced by Richard Rowntree and Matthew Davies (DOGGED, NEFARIOUS) and stars Nicole Katherine Riddell (White Sky), Kemal Yildirim (Wastelands, Rose), David Robert Lenik (An English Haunting, The Curse of Halloween Jack), Martin W.

On February 1st, IDW Publishing is releasing issue the #1 of its IDW Original Series, Breath of Shadows, a five-issue miniseries from Bram Stoker Award–Nominated Comic Book Creators Rich Douek and Alex Cormack that melds the horror genre with drugs and rock ‘n’ roll.
It’s 1968. On the fast track to becoming one of his era’s most iconic rock stars, Jimmy Meadows should be basking in the glow of newly acquired wealth and fame. Instead, crushed by the weight of a debilitating heroin addiction, Jimmy is on the verge of losing everything—until an old friend tips him off to an unorthodox treatment method hidden in the depths of the South American jungle. With fair-weather friends, local opportunists, and industry sycophants in tow, Jimmy sets off in search of what he’s sure will be a miracle cure. But as the excursion veers off course and the realities of their environment begin to bleed together with Jimmy’s paranoia and drug-induced hallucinations, the team quickly descends into a nightmare of bloody chaos populated by unspeakable horrors that surpass even the most brutal drug trip.
I had the pleasure of reading a preview copy of this, and the story and the graphics are really good. Yes, it’s book report material. So, you know what to do, watch this space.

A powerful biotech company has breakthrough technology allowing them to clone history’s most influential people with just a few fragments of DNA. Behind this company is a cabal of Satanists that steals the shroud of Christ, putting them in possession of Jesus’ DNA. The clone will serve as the ultimate offering to the devil.
The film stars Alice Orr-Ewing, Joe Doyle, Eveline Hall, Peter Mensah, Joe Anderson, James Faulkner and Brian Caspe. The Devil Conspiracy is written by Ed Alan and directed by Nathan Frankowski.
First off, I told you the trailer is amazing. If the film is anything like the trailer, it looks like a helluva (get it?) good time. It’s serving Rosemary’s Baby except with designer invitro, and then an angel battle.

In order to survive the night, players must mix and match a near-infinite amount of items and relics to discover the build that works best for their playstyle. Speaking of style, party people can wear outfits that confer unique attributes when up in the club.
Level up and flex those muscles against enemy hordes and bosses. The adorable NecroCat and Bartender can help you out in a pinch, but only when they feel like it.

Convinced that the woman was a devotee of a dangerous brand of black magic deemed responsible for a string of mysterious deaths over many years, the locals demand that the siblings leave and allow for the burning of their childhood home in order to rid the town of the curse. While initially skeptical, a string of strange occurrences leads the siblings to believe there may be more truth to the rumors than they ever dreamed possible.

The Ghosts Of Monday is directed by filmmaker Francesco Cinquemani (Eye For An Eye).
Honestly, the trailer doesn’t do a great job explaining exactly what’s happening here, which could be a good thing. But, it does have Julian Sands as the star, and I love most of his films so, it again it could be a good thing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Also, it seems to have been a hit at the festivals.

Small Town Monsters heads to the frozen vistas of the 49th state with On the Trail of Bigfoot: Last Frontier. The first 2023 Small Town Monsters docudrama features in-depth interviews with locals and a heavy focus on the Indigenous peoples who first called the land home. Focusing on evidence and encounters with the legendary Sasquatch, On the Trail of Bigfoot: Last Frontier aims to give audiences the most cohesive look at Alaskan Sasquatch lore.
On the Trail of Bigfoot: Last Frontier was shot over several months in the Alaskan wilderness, concurrently with upcoming Small Town Monsters projects Land of the Missing and Bigfoot: Beyond the Trail: Alaskan Coastal Sasquatch, to be released later in 2023. Each production will take a different look at the lore of the monsters believed to be living in the snow, offering the most comprehensive view of the evidence.
Audio evidence presented includes eerie recordings which seem to capture a baby crying deep in the remote, coastal regions of Alaska, along with numerous howls, whoops, tree knocks, and more. The baby-crying audio is particularly unnerving as it has been referenced numerous times in Alaskan native lore as being a tactic employed by Bigfoot to lure its victims into the woods.
On the Trail of Bigfoot: Last Frontier debuts on major streaming platforms on January 17, 2023, including iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Vudu and FandangoNOW.

Just in time for my much anticipated (in my head) return to my site due to a bereavement break, the PR people at Warners have released the trailer for Evil Dead Rise, and it’s dark folks. And to that I say hooray, that’s a happy word – right? Anyway, take a look…
Moving the action out of the woods and into the city, “Evil Dead Rise” tells a twisted tale of two estranged sisters, played by Sutherland and Sullivan, whose reunion is cut short by the rise of flesh-possessing demons, thrusting them into a primal battle for survival as they face the most nightmarish version of family imaginable.
New Line Cinema and Renaissance Pictures present a return to the iconic horror franchise, “Evil Dead Rise,” from writer/director Lee Cronin (“The Hole in the Ground”). The movie stars Lily Sullivan (“I Met a Girl,” “Barkskins”), Alyssa Sutherland (“The Mist,” “Vikings”), Morgan Davies (“Storm Boy,” “The End”), Gabrielle Echols (“Reminiscence”) and introducing Nell Fisher (“Northspur”).
Ok, whoever edited this trailer, I give you a Chef’s kiss, because I am excited. At first I have to admit I was thinking who asked for a new entry into the Evil Dead franchise, but the trailer did the thing.
Evil Dead Rise is set to open in theaters in North America on April 21, 2023 and internationally beginning 19 April 2023.

The Shudder Original special Joe Bob’s Ghoultide Get-Togetherpremiered Friday, December 16 live on the Shudder TV feed at 9pm ET/8c and raised over $208,000. The money was divided evenly among the following charities:
Jeanette Rankin Foundation
March of Dimes
Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance
Motion Picture & Television Fund
Joe Bob Briggs said, “I’m proud to say that our little Mutant Family came up with 420 percent more money than when we first did this in 2020, a full 30 percent increase over 2021–more evidence that horror fans are terrifyingly generous! One hundred percent of the funds go directly to the four charities, so thanks to everyone who made that possible, especially the team at Fright Rags, who always go above and beyond to create premiums for the people too strapped for cash to participate in auctions.”
In what has become an annual holiday tradition, iconic horror host and foremost drive-in movie critic Joe Bob Briggs presented a double feature, just in time for Christmas. This year, Joe Bob hosted two iconic holiday horrors, Don’t Open Till Christmas and A Christmas Horror Story.
The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs is produced by Matt Manjourides and Justin Martell and directed by Austin Jennings.

We rejoice! The PR campaign has rolled out a second trailer for the upcoming killer AI doll, M3GAN, who is looking to unseat Chucky and Annabelle as the reigning killer doll royalty.
From the most prolific minds in horror—James Wan, the filmmaker behind the Saw, Insidious and The Conjuring franchises, and Blumhouse, the producer of the Halloween films, The Black Phone and The Invisible Man—comes a fresh new face in terror.
M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma (Get Out’s Allison Williams), M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to.
When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady (Violet McGraw, The Haunting of Hill House), Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems—a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.
The film also stars Ronny Chieng (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings), Brian Jordan Alvarez (Will & Grace), Jen Van Epps (Cowboy Bebop), Lori Dungey (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, extended edition) and Stephane Garneau-Monten (Straight Forward).
Produced by Jason Blum and James Wan, M3GAN is directed by award-winning filmmaker Gerard Johnstone (Housebound), from a screenplay by Akela Cooper (Malignant, The Nun 2) based on a story by Akela Cooper and James Wan.
Although, I am in the bitter bitch stage of my grieving I actually did laugh and I felt a little moment of joy while watching her kill people. I cannot wait.
M3GAN will shimmy her way into our hearts January 13th.

Forty years ago, thousands of children were snatched from unwed mothers in Ireland at the behest of the Catholic Church. The remains of 796 of them were found in a septic tank of a Mother and Baby home run by Catholic nuns – many more were trafficked to the US in forced adoptions, and thousands are still unaccounted for. How was this allowed to occur and who is to be held accountable?
The Missing Children follows the Irish mother and baby home scandal, focusing on the Tuam home, where 796 babies are believed to have been buried in a septic tank. Hundreds of children died of neglect or were adopted, often illegally, from the notorious institution run by Bons Secours nuns.
The Missing Children is an extraordinary true crime story that exposes the Catholic Church’s involvement in the trafficking, neglect and suspicious deaths of babies born to unwed mothers in Ireland. Weaving together shocking revelations about what happened to the children under theBons Secours nuns, with the compelling present tense narrative of survivors searching for their families, the series shines a bright light on the hypocrisy and cruelty that occurred and seeks accountability within the systems that allowed it.
Many of these children were sent to America for adoptions and so much of this story is rooted here. Since the end of the series, the filmmakers have discovered even more families who have ties to Tuam who are eager to tell their story. The series tells a powerful story of survivors and families uncovering the truth and is a must watch.
The Missing Children is directed by Tanya Stephan. Topic will be premiering the 3-part series on their platform on March 3rd.
