One of the things that made Jaws great was it’s realism. It truly made you think before you dipped your toes in the ocean again. Even though a lot of shark movies have come out over the past few years, they were all silly CGI jokes, like Sharnado. Now, a new film is looking to bring back the emotions that Jaws captured so flawlessly. Jaume Coliet-Serra’s new film The Shallows stars Blake Lively as an injured surfer, stranded on an islet. One thing is keeping her from swimming to shore, a huge Great White circling the islet. The Shallows is set to be released on June 24 by Sony Pictures, right in the middle of beach season.

I recently sat down with Scott Baker, an author and ex CIA man, to talk about his many novels. And boy does he have many. The subject matter differs between his books and trilogies, but they all have one common element, horror. KM “Tell us about your time in the C.I.A. if that is something you can talk about.” SB “Sure, I spent much of my time monitoring terrorist groups. I spent the last ten years going after cyber terrorists.” KM “What is your latest novel THA: Trans Human Assassins about?” SB “It’s about the government making trans-humans, taking humans to the next level. I read about these zombie ants made by a fungus that drives the ants to serve a single purpose. The trans-humans are like that. They’re not zombies so to speak, but the government has reprogrammed these people to serve only one purpose, to assassinate targets.” KM “Where did the inspiration for your novel Yeitso come from?”

There are few things creepier than kids in horror films. One of the most popular franchises featuring evil kids is Children of the Corn. And a new sequel, the tenth film of the franchise, is filming as we speak. Joel Soisson (Children of the Corn: Genesis) penned the new script and John Gulager (Feast, Piranha 3DD) is in the director’s chair. Little else is known about the project at this point. Dimension Films has not revealed if the new Children of the Corn will be direct to DVD like many if its predecessors or who has been cast.
