Sex. Murder. Revenge. ‘Rondo’ Arrives Early Next Year

Sex. Murder. Revenge. Part black comedy, part slasher, the action-packed film Rondo is set for an early 2019 release.

Clark, Kendrick “Jazz” Copeland, Reggie De Morton, Ashley Gagnon, and Grant Benjamin Leibowitz co-star in the film from Drew Barnhardt.

This December the British sci-fi horror film of the year, Await Further Instructions, arrives this December from director Johnny Kevorkian.

The First Three “What We Do In The Shadows” Series Trailers Look Fangtastic

Three years have passed since we met a crazy group of vampires in Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement‘s What We Do in the Shadows.

As of now, no premiere date has been announced, but the series isn’t the only thing we’ll see from the What We Do universe.

“Penny Dreadful” Spin-Off Is Heading To The “City Of Angels”

Back in 2016 were saddened when we learned that “Penny Dreadful” was canceled. Fans of the series will be thrilled to learn that Showtime has just ordered the spinoff, titled “Penny Dreadful: City of Angels“. The new series will longer be set in London, instead, it will be set in 1938 Los Angeles, “a time and place deeply infused with Mexican-American folklore and social tension,” Showtime has said. “City of Angels” will explore the reality of the Depression-era, the supernatural, the occult and true history, according to The Wrap. ‘Penny Dreadful: City of Angels’ will have a social consciousness and historical awareness that we chose not to explore in the ‘Penny Dreadful’ London storylines,” Logan said. “We will now be grappling with specific historical and real-world political, religious, social and racial issues. In 1938, Los Angeles was facing some hard questions about its future and its soul. Our characters must do the same. There are no easy answers. There are
