Watch The New Trailer For James Wan’s Creepy Doll Movie ‘M3GAN’

I find few things creepier than dolls. If you’re like me you can’t get passed those dead eyes that always seem to be watching you. It’s even worse when they are animated, moving about. That’s what makes the horror movie M3GAN, from horror heavy hitter James Wan so disturbing. If you’re like me, the new trailer will truly give you the creeps. In the movie, “Gemma, is a brilliant roboticist at a toy company who uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to be a kid’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. After unexpectedly gaining custody of her orphaned niece, Gemma enlists the help of the M3GAN prototype — a decision that has unimaginable consequences.” Allison Williams (“Girls”) leads the cast as Gemma. Ronny Chieng (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Crazy Rich Asians) also stars in the movie directed by Gerard Johnstone (Housebound) and written by Akela Cooper (Malignant, The Nun 2) which

He’s a mean one, Mr. Grinch…the beloved character, created by Dr. Seuss, is getting a new take in the horror film The Mean One.

Starring Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key, the movie centers on “the hellishly funny demons of a teen named Kat.” Today, the trailer has arrived and it definitely has a Nightmare Before Christmas/Coraline vibe. “Wendell & Wild is an animated tale about scheming demon brothers Wendell (Keegan-Michael Key) and Wild (Jordan Peele) – who enlist the aid of 13-year-old Kat Elliot – a tough teen with a load of guilt – to summon them to the Land of the Living. But what Kat demands in return leads to a brilliantly bizarre and comedic adventure like no other, an animated fantasy that defies the law of life and death, all told through the handmade artistry of stop motion.” Emmy award-winning Keegan-Michael Key (“Key and Peele”) stars

Movie Review: ‘Fall’ Keeps You On The Edge Of Your Seat

Lionsgate will soon release Fall, from director Scott Mann. I got a chance to check it out early and of course, I have some thoughts. The movie centers on Becky (Grace Caroline Currey) and Hunter (Virginia Gardner), best friends whose lives are all about conquering fears and pushing limits. Their next conquest is a radio tower, that reaches a height of 2,000 feet. What could go wrong? The majority of the movie takes place at the top of the tower where the two women find themselves stuck with no way down and time running short. You would think that a movie set in one spot would be boring, but with tons of drama, twists, and action, Fall manages to stay engaging from beginning to end. Both stars, Grace Caroline Currey and Virginia Gardner played their roles well and were easy to empathize with. I can’t help but wonder how much of the stunts they did themselves. They were rather impressive.

Movie Review: Hellraiser (2022) Offers More Pain Than Pleasure

The horror genre is abuzz about Hulu’s new Hellraiser, directed by David Bruckner, so, does it live up to the hype? In the beginning, we meet Riley, a young woman who is struggling with addiction while living with her intensely judgemental brother, his partner, and another roommate. After stealing a puzzle box with her boyfriend all hell breaks loose and the cenobites are unleashed, but she’s got a plan. First thing’s first, the movie has a character problem. While the character of Riley is fleshed out, the other’s aren’t. They are cardboard cut out characters and they are simply there to suffer. One of the biggest sources of debate among fans is the new female Pinhead. I have to say, I was rather impressed by Jamie Clayton’s portrayal of “The Preist.” She features a similar look and her voice, only slightly feminine, was a great choice. As for the story, it held classical elements of the franchise, cenobites, chains, suffering,

Shudder Green Lights Sequel V/H/S/85 Ahead Of V/H/S/99’s Premiere

Before its latest sequel, V/H/S/99 can premiere on October 20th, news has come that Shudder has just green-lit the next installment of the franchise, V/H/S/85. The upcoming anthology will feature renowned genre filmmakers such as David Bruckner (Hellraiser, The Night House), Scott Derrickson (The Black Phone, Sinister), Gigi Saul Guerrero (Bingo Hell, Culture Shock), Natasha Kermani (Lucky) and Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn). “Since its inception, the V/H/S franchise has been a showcase for both established and emerging horror filmmakers to terrify audiences with innovative takes on the found footage genre. Following the success of last year’s hit V/H/S/94 and this year’s upcoming V/H/S/99, we are totally stoked to take Shudder members back to 1985 with a wicked new collection of scares from some of the most radical horror directors working today,” said Shudder General Manager Craig Engler. “The V/H/S series is a continued love letter to found footage nastiness and the mad variety of anthology horror,” said director and
