Largest Cast Of Horror Icons Ever Assembled Star In ‘Death House’ – Now On Netflix

The largest cast of genre icons ever assembled star in Harrison B. Smith‘s unique, gore-filled film Death House (review), which has just arrived on Netflix.

Sean Patrick Flanery And Lew Temple Saddle Up For Horror Western ‘Spirit Reckoning’

Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints) and Lew Temple (The Walking Dead, The Devil’s Rejects) have saddled up for the horror-western Spirit Reckoning, written and directed by Jimmy Lee Combs (Terror Tales). Flanery stars as gunfighter Lawson Lovette whose psychotic tendencies and skills with a revolver make him the perfect candidate to aid our hero Sam Conley AKA “The Skull Cowboy” on his blood-soaked journey of revenge. Temple is set to play the role of Ottis Clement who is just as crazed as Lawson, sparking an intense rivalry between the two men. Ottis causes chaos and anarchy in the Wild West alongside his brother Ed and leader of their posse Savage Bill.

‘Dark Knight’ Writer Behind New ‘Hellraiser’ Reboot

It seems like every classic horror film that we’ve grown to love is being rebooted. The latest movie to be added to list is Clive Barker’s Hellraiser. Variety is reporting that David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight, Blade II) is getting ready to serve up what we hope is not another painful installment. Goyer is describing the reboot as a “loyal, evolved reimagining.” Gary Barber‘s Spyglass Media will finance, develop, and fast-track the film for distribution. I’ve been a fan of Clive’s work since the original Books of Blood paperbacks and ‘The Hellbound Heart’” Goyer stated. “Having the chance to reimagine Pinhead and the Cenobites for a new audience is a nightmare-come-true. Gary is a true fan as well and we’re committed to making something dark and visceral.“ Keith Levine will be producing alongside Goyer.

Kids Are Our Only Hope Against An Aien Invasion In Netflix’s ‘Rim Of The World’

A group of kids is the world’s only hope against an alien invasion in Netflix’s Rim of the World, premiering this May. In the movie, “Summer camp at Rim of the World has barely begun when four misfit teenagers — Alex, ZhenZhen, Dariush, and Gabriel — find they’ve got bigger problems to face than learning how to canoe and climb ropes when aliens suddenly invade the planet. Alone in a campground once teeming with people, the kids are unexpectedly entrusted with a key that carries the secret to stopping the invasion. Without any adults or electronics to help guide the way, it’s clear what they must do: band together, conquer their fears, and save the world.” An epic action-adventure directed by McG (Charlie’s Angels) and written by Zack Stentz, the film was produced by McG, Mary Viola, Susan Solomon-Shapiro and Matt Smith with Steven Bello, Corey Marsh, Zack Stentz, and Brad Mendelsohn executive producing.
