A24 To Premier "Saint Maud" With Epic Marathon

3/9/2020

Comments

 
Horror fans are likely to appreciate A24 these days. The company had brought is a plethora of fantastic movies in the last decade: The Lighthouse, Midsommar, Hereditary, It Comes At Night, A Ghost Story, The Witch, In Fabric, Ex Machina, Green Room - even Tusk and Life After Beth.

That's a hell of a resume. Their newest horror offering, Saint Maud, opens April 1st and to prepare audiences, special screenings of horror classics with female leads will be held each Friday before, starting this Friday the 13th at select AMC theaters.
March 13 - The Exorcist, March 20 - Rosemary's Baby, March 27 - The Conjuring
There are your Friday night plans for the rest of the month. Easy!

​About the movie: Maud is a reclusive young nurse whose impressionable demeanor causes her to pursue a pious path of Christian devotion after an obscure trauma. Now charged with the hospice care of Amanda, a retired dancer ravaged by cancer, Maud's fervent faith quickly inspires an obsessive conviction that she must save her ward's soul from eternal damnation, whatever the cost.

Saint Maud already has a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Here are just a few reviews:

"Saint Maud is a strange, gorgeous, and deeply disturbing chiller which mixes psychological, religious, and body horror to form something that feels utterly original." - Den of Geek

"Saint Maud, like Ari Aster's Midsommar, is a law unto itself." - London Evening Standard

"There was a moment where the theater collectively gasped - you"ll know it when you see it - and that kind of terror is all too rare." - Brightest Young Things

Jerusalem’s Lot Series Title Revealed

3/9/2020

The adaptation of Stephen King's short story "Jerusalem's Lot" (published in the book "Night Shift") will be titled "Chapelwaite." 

Per Deadline -  Set in the 1850s, the series follows Captain Charles Boone (Brody), who relocates his family of three children to his ancestral home in the small, seemingly sleepy town of Preacher’s Corners, Maine after his wife dies at sea. However, Charles will soon have to confront the secrets of his family’s sordid history, and fight to end the darkness that has plagued the Boones for generations.

It has also been revealed that Emily Hampshire (Schitt's Creek) has been cast as a writer who will, in an unspecified way, become entwined with the main character, Charles Boone, played by Adrian Brody. No other casting has been revealed at this time.

With the success of the "It" remake, good impressions of "The Outsider" on HBO and even the less-advertised, appreciation for "Doctor Sleep," all eyes will be trained on the development of this series.

"Psycho Goreman" Looks Like 80's Cheeseball Awesomeness!

3/4/2020

Comments

 
Some buzz is in the air over a new movie from the director of The Void (which I brought up about a month ago) called Psycho Goreman. 
There seems to be a new subgenre of horror emerging consisting of retro-ludicrous plot lines produced with an ample budget. Many titles from recent years come to mind - Turbo Kid, Wolfcop or even Manborg - directed by Steven Kostanski, the very man who brings us this new movie.

The trailer looks surprisingly intriguing. Perhaps it's the 80's kid in me trying to relate, but it looks like a mashup of a 1980's action figure commercial and a midnight movie staring GWAR....and I really want to watch it now.

What's it about? Per IMDB - Siblings Mimi and Luke unwittingly resurrect an ancient alien overlord. Using a magical amulet, they force the monster to obey their childish whims, and accidentally attract a rogues' gallery of intergalactic assassins to small-town suburbia.

The trailer showcases a number of crazy characters. Kostanski is also known for his talent in FX makeup, featured in more well known movies like It, Clown, Suicide Squad and Crimson Peak. With his experience, proven visionary styles and some solid directing on his resume, I think there's a good chance Psycho Goreman will be entertainingly bloody.

It will premier next week at SXSW in Austin, Texas.

UPDATE: SXSW has been canceled due to coronavirus concerns.

Scream 5 Is Happening - Yay? Nay?

3/3/2020

So what do we know so far? Well - nothing. Information seems to stop there. We don't know who is directing, whom of the original cast is returning or if this is even another sequel in the same story or of it's a reboot of sorts.

Neve Campbell and David Arquette have expressed some level of interest in returning in the past but with the passing of Wes Craven, who knows if that still holds true. 

Do we need another Scream movie? The first four movies grossed over $600 million dollars and the TV show has reached 3 seasons, so there's certainly an audience. Ghostface has become a horror icon...but how much can it be milked?

Let us know your thoughts on this one in the comments.

What We Do In The Shadows to premier with a familiar face from the past.

3/2/2020

The Season 2 premier of What We Do In The Shadows is approaching quickly! Set for an air date of April 15th, 2020, FX's absolutely hysterical vampire comedy returns with Haley Joel Osment -the "I see dead people" kid from The Sixth Sense. It's reported he will only appear in one episode as Nadja and Laszlo's new familiar, who is a welcome addition to everyone in the house with the exception of poor Guillermo who becomes very jealous. 

Mark Hamill has also been confirmed for an appearance at some point in the 10-episode season.

Season one, episode seven had an amazing mass cameo list. Check it out....plot spoiler warning if you have yet to watch it.
​

That's right - Tilda Swinton, Paul Rubens, Danny Trejo, Evan Rachel Wood and Wesley Snipes (kind of) all came on the show as their respective former vampire roles. Possibly even better, Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement and Jonny Brugh returned as their roles from the movie that spawned this fantastic show. 

If you haven't yet watched the show, it's available on Hulu now as part of their FX content. You'll finally understand the concept of a Vulva Garden!
