Movie Review: ‘7 Witches’ Tries To Spin A Dreary And Atmospheric Yarn

Weddings are seen as a union between two people, but it’s also the joining of two families. And while everyone hopes for a harmonious merger of family units, it can be an incredibly awkward time…especially when the families ar meeting for the very first time. Add to that a palpable tension between the bride to a bride to be and her sister, as well as Kate’s ex-boyfriend (who Kate’s family thinks she’s still with) and the comfort level can just bottom out. Such would be the case with Kate Boyle, whose sister Rose is about to marry her fiance, Agatha Sklar. Despite the love and support the members of the Boyle family try to lend on Rose’s happy occasion, sibling animosity hangs over like a layer of dark clouds.

‘It’ Projected To Smash September Box Office Records

After becoming the most viewed trailer in a single day with over 197 Million(!) hits, it’s perhaps not surprising that IT looks to be a huge box office hit. The Dark Tower flopping led to some fears about another major Stephen King project’s prospects, but it now seems those fears were unfounded with IT projected to bring in over $50 Million on its opening weekend. For a year that’s been very light on theatrical horror (other than the stellar Get Out and The Belko Experiment) IT is a welcome presence. The hype machine for this film has been going into overtime, and with only a few weeks left until release it’s reached a fever pitch. Quality wise, rather the film will float above its detractors to critical praise, or crash to the ground like a balloons popped by a critics needle remains to be seen. But even if it disappoints King fans,this film is going to make a lot of

We Have A Fourth ‘Hatchet’ Film!–Adam Green Drops A Bombshell At L.A. ‘Hatchet’ Screening

Last week we posted an article regarding Adam Green showing a free screening of the original Hatchet tonight at the Arclight Hollywood in LA. We mentioned that for Hatchet fans they’d better cancel their plans to attend. Well, we hope they took our advice and here’s why… It just so happened that I tuned in to Adam Green’s live Facebook feed during his presentation prior to screening the film, and he proceeded to drop a bombshell on the audience by recounting a story where the late George Romero encouraged him to keep the Hatchet franchise alive, and that the audience would not be seeing the original Hatchet film tonight, but instead they would be viewing a BRAND NEW HATCHET FILM! That’s right, tonight in L.A. Adam Green is premiering the 4th Hatchet film in the franchise, titled Victor Crowley. Green didn’t give many details about the film, other than it was filmed in secret over that last two years. He
