A Summer Staple Get’s Scary With ‘THE ICE CREAM TRUCK’

Skidding end at the tail end of the summer horror season comes ‘THE ICE CREAM TRUCK’, one of the creepiest looking indie films I’ve ever seen. There’s something about suburbia that’s never sat well with me. Behind picket fences and backyard barbecues, there’s always something sinister brewing, festering and growing strong in the deceit. Those cookie cutter houses on the outskirts of the city are supposed to be safe, a place where children run and play, old men feed pigeons, young couples kiss under the stars. Of course that’s very rarely how things actually play out. THE ICE CREAM TRUCK looks to tap into that fear, by using one of the most wholesome images in Americana as a source of evil. Directed by Megan Johnston, the film follows “Mary, who moves back to her suburban hometown after her husband gets relocated for work. As her family ties up loose ends back home, she moves into their new house alone. And

‘The Munsters’ Reboot Smashes Its Way Onto NBC

After the failed rehash that was 2012’s oddly named Mockingbird Lane, NBC is zapping new life into the decades old Munsters franchise with a second attempt at rebooting. And this time Herman and the gang will be facing the only creatures that might be stranger than themselves…….. I’m so radically different, just like all my other friends Sure, making fun of hipsters and their stupid hats hasn’t been funny since 2013, but thats not stopping NBC giving it a shot. The new Munster series “follows members of an offbeat family who are determined to stay true to themselves but struggle to fit in in hipster Brooklyn.” Seth Meyers is on board as an executive producer, but little else is currently known about the project; casting, show runners, and a general sense of who actually wants this have yet to be revealed. The original Munster’s series has had quite the impact in pop culture, especially given it only lasted two seasons

Milla Jovovich To Play The Villain In ‘Hellboy: Rise Of The Red Queen’

The cast of Neil Marshall’s Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen is beginning to take shape. Last week, it was announced that ‘American Gods’ actor Ian McShane had signed for the film featuring David Harbour as Hellboy. Today, we have more casting news. It has now been revealed that Milla Jovovich has been cast as the villain of the film, the Red Queen. Jovovich has long played Alice, the hero of the long running Resident Evil franchise whose last sequel, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, opened in theaters this past January. It is an interesting coincidence that Jovovich came face to face with the A.I. that ran by the Umbrella Corporation’s tasks in Resident Evil, its name, the Red Queen. The two queens are not connected in the film world, they simply have the same name. In Rise of the Red Queen, Hellboy will face off against a medieval sorceress who seeks to destroy humankind.

New “Leatherface’ Trailer Rev’s Up The Hype

When Leatherface, a Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel, was first announced I was a little wary; unlike Micheal Myers, Freddy Krueger, or even Jason, Leatherface didn’t have much of an origin story in his debut film. And frankly, he didn’t need one. The skin mask and hum of a chainsaw were all the big crossdressing brute needed to become one of the most terrifying villains in horror history. The newest trailer however, has got me a little more excited. Containing an asylum escape, what looks like a small army of cops (who will inevitable become power tool fodder) and Little Leatherface receiving his first chainsaw, the film’s actually starting to look like it might become the first good Texas Chainsaw film in years. The first good one in 43 years if your asking me, but that’s neither here nor there……
