Let’s face it, we’ve seen the story of Robin Hood a hundred times in a much the same way, until now. A new version of the Robin Hood tale is now picking up steam in Kickstarter. In Sherwood Horror, Robing Hood will be facing a new type of threat, vampires. And I must say the teaser trailer looks fantastic.

Harrison Smith’s upcoming film Death House has a cast so impressive it makes you feel as if your head is going to explode. But don’t be mistaken, Death House, which is set to be the first film in a six film franchise, is not some gimmick who relies on cameos to carry the film. It has a great story. And no, there is no Freddy vs Jason or anything like that. The stars play new characters from an original story created by Gunnar Hansen, the actor who played Leatherface in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, among other things. Smith talks about the film with so much passion and excitement. If you have read his pieces on Cynema on our website you would know that he is serious about the horror genre.

No matter how much we dread it the season 6 finale of The Walking Dead is coming. There are a few things I keep hearing over and over. The first is that Negan is “a game changer”, the second, that his introduction is going to go off-the-charts insane. Either way we know that he is going to kill a character we love, and that is going to piss off a lot of people, but that’s okay in the eyes of the man who will be playing Negan, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. In fact, he has already prepared himself to receive a lot of hate mail. “I don’t know if the fans are going to be ready for it, to be honest with you. When you do what I do for a living, you want to do as many different things as possible and I love the challenge of this character.” Morgan stated about his new role as The Walking Walking Dead’s
