Everything We Know So Far About CULT OF CHUCKY

While he’s a vicious serial killer, it’s hard not to be fond of Chucky. Luckily, we will soon have a new sequel and I can’t wait to see what that little red-headed, possessed, psychopath will do next. The sequel, which we first reported back in 2014, is titled Cult of Chucky. We’ve been following the film’s development closely and were ecstatic to be able to tell fans that the movie wrapped filming in February. So far, we know that the movie picks up four years after the events of Curse of Chucky. Creator-writer-director Don Mancini has promised that Cult of Chucky will be the bloodiest and goriest film of the entire franchise. That says a lot taking inconsideration the scenes in Seed of Chucky. During a recent interview with CBC, Mancini gave a little more insight into what we can expect from the film. I wrote it with snow in mind. We shot all night outside for one sequence, and

Jennifer Lawrence Offers You Her Heart On The Poster For MOTHER!

Director Darren Aronofsky has been busy. He has written, directed and produced a horror film under the radar, titled Mother!. And the cast is impressive, including names like Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ed Harris, Domnhall Gleeson, and Kristen Wiig. In fact, the beautiful but bloody poster features Lawrence ripping her own heart out. Kyle Davies told CinemaCon to expect “thrills and chills” from Mother!. The psychological thriller is said to have a Black Swan feel and center on a couple whose relationship is tested when uninvited guests arrive at their home, disturbing their tranquil existence. Set to open in theaters on October 13th, Mother! is being produced by Scott Franklin, Ari Handel and Aronofsky, with Jeff G. Waxman serving as executive producer.

Make America Weird Again in WEIRD FOLK: A SUBURBAN HORROR COMEDY

2016 was an interesting year as far as horror went; if you wanted to be scared shitless all you had to do was watch the American election cycle. And filmmakers Scott Dunn and Gina Gomez might have just struck gold (or whatever color that rat wig worn by The Donald is) with Weird Folk, a film set on the eve of the 2016 election. Taking place in one neighborhood on one night, Weird Folk follows a couple different story threads; A teen makes a terrible discovery on the dark web A Clown stalks the neighborhood A Chiropractor experiences his worst nightmare And A couple finds themselves in the crosshairs of a killer It’s an interesting twist on your standard anthology, and god knows there’s plenty to poke fun at in the current american political system. Weird Folk is currently fundraising on Kickstarter, with several weeks left to make their goal. Whether your a liberal cuck or a conservative nut job,

Michael Myers Won’t Be Immortal In The New Halloween

Back in February we reported that Danny McBride and David Gordon Green will be bring Michael Myers back for a new film. The two who are writing the film, with Green directing, have dropped tidbits of information. They have said that they want to return Michael to his former glory in what is being described as a sequel to 1981’s Halloween II. In a recent interview with The Empire Film Podcast, McBride revealed that Michael will not have any supernatural or immortal properties. He will simply be a disturbed man in a mask. I think we’re just trying to strip it down and just take it back to what was so good about the original. It was just very simple and just achieved that level of horror that wasn’t corny. And it wasn’t turning Michael Myers into some supernatural being that couldn’t be killed— that stuff to me isn’t scary. I want to be scared by something that I really

HELLBOY Receives Its Title And A R-Rating

While fans were excited last week to learn the Hellboy would be getting a new R-rated sequel. However, excitement quickly turned to shock when we reported that not only will Guillermo del Toro not be involved, but that Ron Perlman will not be reprising his role as Hellboy. Today, we have an update. The sequel, from director Neil Marshall (The Descent), now has an official working title Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen. In the comic series created by Mike Mignola, who will be writing the script with Andrew Cosby and Christopher Golden, there is a character known as the Queen of Blood, part of the ‘Wild Hunt’ story arc. There is also a possibility of a story that involves vampires who Hellboy clashed with in the comics. Stranger Things actor David Harbour will be playing Hellboy in the sequel. While there is no doubt that he is a talented actor, many might have trouble seeing him as the character.

Michael Rooker And John McNaughton Teaming Up Again For A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND

John McNaughton’s 1986 thriller Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was gritty and everything that type of film is supposed to be. Michael Rooker starred as Henry, a character inspired by real-life serial killers Henry Lee Lucus and Ottis Toole. After a span of over 30 years Rooker and McNaughton are teaming up for another project. The duo will be working on the film adaption of Flannery O’Connor’s ‘A Good Man Is Hard to Find’, Deadline reports. The short story, viewed as a classic, features a family on a road trip and and a escaped convict known as “The Misfit”. With both Rooker and McNaughton involved with the project, I have no doubt the film will be fantastic. ‘A Good Man Is Hard to Find’ will be produced by Ed Richardson under the banner of R&R Productions Worldwide, based in Atlanta. Mike Sears and David Zander will co-produce.
