The marketing campaign for Netflix and Mike Flanagan‘s “The Haunting of Bly Manor” kicked off earlier this week with an official poster debut, and we’re pretty sure that means the first trailer isn’t far behind.

Horror comes in many guises and forms, with many takes on the genre feeding off of our own personal fears and aversions. From the guts and gore of splatter cinema to eerie tellings of the paranormal, there’s plenty of ways to harvest the screams of fear-loving fans. There is, however, one guaranteed method of unnerving

The official press release details… Only the most hardened horror fanatics will dare to play this terrifying edition of the classic trivia game. Players will move around the

I’ve had a passion for found-footage ever since I first laid eyes on The Blair Witch Project. I don’t think there’s any other sub-genre out there that can reduce filmmaking to its bare essentials and still craft highly effective stories that are just as impactful in your living room or laptop as they are on

“A Scottish serial killer and necrophile who murdered at least twelve young men and boys between 1978 and 1983 in London, England” (Wikipedia), Dennis Nilsen died in prison back in 2018, and this year the real-life monster is being brought to the screen in the ITV drama series “Des.” Nilsen will be played David Tennant, who is damn near unrecognizable

Judy (Chet Siegel) and her band, Duh, have many great opportunities on the horizon. They’ve just quit their jobs so they can embark on their first-ever tour. They may even be opening for one of their favorite artists, who happens to be a very important record exec. As long as nothing gets in the way,

A gory good time, Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion‘s home invasion action-thriller Becky (read Meagan’s review) was released onto Digital outlets and in drive-in theaters back in June, and we’ve learned this week that a physical media release isn’t far behind. Becky will hit DVD and Blu-ray on September 15. Pre-order your copy today. “The film centers on rebellious

Horror remakes often get a bad rap. For fans, nothing draws ire as fast as a remake announcement of a highly regarded original. In other words, there’s immense pressure for any filmmaker attempting to approach a beloved property with their own vision. But while there have been plenty of maligned horror remakes over the years,

The marketing campaign for Netflix and “The Haunting of Hill House” mastermind Mike Flanagan‘s “The Haunting of Bly Manor” has officially kicked off this morning, with the streaming service debuting the first official poster art and announcing a Fall 2020 arrival.

With all of the new and upcoming videogame-to-board game adaptations, there was bound to be a snag somewhere. Unfortunately for Metal Gear Solid fans, that snag has happened to them. The publisher for the upcoming board game, IDW Games, has announced that their adaptation has been delayed from this Summer (what’s left of it, really)

“I’m vengeance.” The main event of the virtual DC FanDome event is here, with the first official trailer for the Matt Reeves-directed The Batman making its way onto the internet tonight. And this is, much to our surprise and delight, no short-and-sweet little tease for the movie. Rather, DC puts a smile on our face

If you took The Village and Rosemary’s Baby and tossed them into a blender, you’d have the moody aesthetic of The Curse of Audrey Earnshaw. An opening text scroll delivers setup exposition about an isolated settlement established in the late 1800s and the briefest history overview. The most important note is that a child was birthed in secret to a

We’d known for a little while now that we’d be seeing two new DC video games at its FanDome event this weekend. One, which will be revealed later, is Batman: Arkham series developer’s Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game, the other is Warner Bros Montreal’s long-rumored Batman game, which we now know officially is

Announced at San Diego Comic-Con last summer, Marvel is bringing Blade back to the big screen in the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali taking over the title role.

The main series lasted three seasons and we’ve learned tonight that Showtime’s brand new spinoff series “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels” is saying goodbye after just one. Variety first broke the news that “City of Angels” has been cancelled. “Showtime has decided not to move forward with another season of ‘Penny Dreadful: City of Angels,’”

The Reckoning is a period film set in 1665 during the Great Plague in England. The opening text provides the context and also introduces the concept of Witch Finders, individuals who have been granted nearly unlimited power to retain, interrogate, and punish individuals who are accused – and inevitability found guilty – of witchcraft. The

Last year, we told you about developer LKA’s first-person thriller Martha is Dead, which has now seen its release pushed to 2021. It’s not all bad news, mind you, as the team has announced that in addition to a Steam release, the title will be headed to the Xbox Series X. We also get a

Written by Pat Mills and illustrated by Clint Langley, the American Reaper and Reaper Files graphic novels are getting a feature adaptation from Amblin Partners, we’ve learned.

The Witch and The Lighthouse director Robert Eggers has assembled one hell of a cast for his next movie, a viking revenge film titled The Northman. Known cast includes Nicole Kidman, Alexander Skarsgård, Anya Taylor-Joy, Bill Skarsgård and Willem Dafoe, and it seems to have leaked this week that musician Björk is also part of the ensemble. Björk, who starred

The cast for the new Scream movie from Paramount and Spyglass continues to grow, with Deadline reporting that “Jane the Virgin” and “You” actress Jenna Ortega has signed on.

At least once per decade since his feature debut, The Last House on the Left, Wes Craven shook up the horror genre. Especially in the slasher realm, thanks to hits A Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream. Even the less successful or more experimental features tended to stand out in Craven’s hands. The master of horror delivered so many

Season 1 of Netflix’s manga-based “Warrior Nun” premiered July 2, 2020 and is currently streaming globally, and we’ve learned today that a second season is soon on its way.

Kevin and Matthew McManus, the sibling duo who helped pen Netflix’s incredible “American Vandal” and YouTube’s “Cobra Kai”,  direct The Block Island Sound, a new thriller set to have its world premiere at the forthcoming virtual edition of the Fantasia Film Festival.

Upon theatrical release on August 18, 2000, The Cell proved deeply divisive despite its strong showing at the box office. While most agreed that the visual style was nothing short of impressive, there seemed to be no middle ground when it came to critical appraisal. For some, the film offered all style and no substance. Some critics

Unless things change, the plan is still for Universal to release Nia DaCosta‘s “spiritual sequel” Candyman on October 16, 2020, and Total Film shares three new images this week. The images give us a couple new looks at actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as main character Anthony McCoy, who appears to be transforming into the new Candyman… Candyman comes from

The ’90s tend to be considered the worst decade of horror, but it’s more accurately a transitional period. The VHS craze winded down and gave way to the rise of DVD. Advances in CGI shifted the approach to special effects, especially in big-budget features in the latter half. Stuck between the massive practical effects-driven ’80s

Remember that classic Maximum Overdrive trailer that was presented by a wild-eyed Stephen King, insisting that he was going to “scare the hell out of you” with his directorial debut? The memorable trailer featured King talking to the camera alongside clips from the movie, and it’s hard not to think of that ’80s glory when
