“An ancient evil unleashes a deadly computer virus hellbent on destroying humanity.” That’s the premise behind Devil’s Five, an upcoming horror anthology that revolves around the Devil. The film is comprised of five short films, The Devil’s Five, Abandoned, Choke, Don’s Say these Words and Stash. It was important to me that The Devil’s Five start the film off with a bang.” Said Terry Wickham, director of the segments The Devil’s Five, Abandoned and Stash. “I dug deep down into my cinematic soul to come up with an exciting story that brought action immediately to a horror setting. The Terminator is one of my three favorite films and the only film that I ever went to se four straight nights at a movie theater. When I was writing The Devil’s Five, and later directing the movie, I tried to make the film flow with James Cameron-like intensity – on a budget Cameron probably spends on breakfast for his cast and

When summer arrives and the temperature begins to rise one of the first things that comes to mind is the beach, the cool water of the ocean and fun in the sun. But movies like The Shallows and Jaws capture the fear that comes with not knowing what lurks below the surface and just how fierce and relentless sharks can be. What better way to celebrate the summer than to dive into a marathon of shark movies. There are hundreds of shark movies out there, however, most are cheesy and ridiculous. This list does not include those. Here are a few of our favorite serious movies starring sharks. Jaws (1975) When a giant great white begins to attack people in the waters of a small island community, the police chief, a marine biologist and a grizzled fisherman set out to hunt it down. Jaws is a true classic that will never be out done (that’s my opinion). Recently a deleted

James Wan is on fire. The Conjuring 2 had an amazing opening weekend at the box office, just like the The Conjuring did. Between the films’ success and the long list of investigations by The Warrens, who The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 were based on, it’s a no-brainer that more sequels will be made. It seems that the third installment of the franchise is already in the works, but not yet confirmed by Warner Bros. In a recent interview with Cinemablend Wan discussed one of the many possible subjects of The Conjuring 3 and the chance of it featuring something other than spirits and demons, werewolves. Maybe we can go and do it like a classic American Werewolf in London style. That would be awesome! The Warrens set against the backdrop of The Hound of Baskerville. Even though The Conjuring franchise has focused on spirits and possession up to this point, Ed Warren did publish a book titled Werewolf:
