Take A Ride Down ‘Lost Gully Road’ In It’s First Teaser

For fans of a horror down under, Lost Gully Road, the new Austrailan Supernatural Thriller from Johnny Ghost director Donna McRae might be just what it takes to scratch that Aussie itch, with the first teaser dropping onto Youtube. And teaser is the right word for it, because this little trailer doesn’t tell you jack shit about the movie. Not that going into a movie knowing jack shit about it is necessarily a bad thing. Nothing ruins a good twisty movie like spoiling the hell out of it in the marketing. From the press release, Lost Gully Road “tells the story of Lucy, a directionless young woman who travels to a secluded cottage in the forest to wait for her sister. With no television and little communication with the outside world she spends her days alone and drinking to pass the time. That is, until her unexpected host decides to keep her company…” Wow, spending days alone and drinking to

Meet The Newest LBGT Icon, The Babadook ?

Pride month is in full swing and fate has it a mistake made Netflix has cast the creepy stove-pipe-hat-wearing ghoul from The Babadook, one of 2014’s biggest films, as a new LBGT icon. So how did Netflix transform the creepy character from scary to utterly fabulous? They accidentally put the film in the LBGT section of their streaming service and things snowballed from there. Following the news and multiple memes the icon was born. If you think about it, The Babadook, written and directed by Jennifer Kent, has a lot in common in with some members of the LBGT community. He’s an entity hiding the shadows like many of the closeted members of the community. He’s different and very flamboyant. I mean, come on he rocks a top hat and cloak. The family knows he’s there but try to look past him and ignore what he is. At the end of the film he “comes out” and the main character

‘The Conjuring 3’ Will Be Very Different From Its Predecessors

The Conjuring franchise is quickly becoming one of the biggest franchises in the genre. The number of spin-offs keeps multiplying including Annabelle and Annabelle 2: Creation, The Nun which has entered production, and a possible Crooked Man film in the works. Now, The Conjuring is getting a third film. During an interview with CinemaBlend, producer Peter Safran talks about the next installment that will continue to explore the supernatural and paranormal investigations by Ed and Loraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, and how The Conjuring 3 will be very different from its predecessors. There are some [cases] that maybe aren’t as well known, but they spent a fair bit of time researching and were part of [them]. Clearly, we can’t do another haunted house movie, right? We can’t do another supernatural possession in a house, with a family in peril. Right? So, it’s got to be something different than that, I think. There are a lot of

Millie Bobby Brown Auditioned For ‘Logan’ Before Landing ‘Stranger Things’ Role

Millie Bobby Brown, aka Eleven from Stranger Things and the kid who rapped “Monster” on Jimmy Fallon, had a huge year in 2016, landing worldwide fame and a starring role in the upcoming Godzilla: King of the Monsters. But before she played a little girl with strange powers on Stranger Things, Brown auditioned for a different little girl with strange powers on Logan. X-23, who was eventually played to great effect by Daphne Keen, is a little badass with all the powers of Wolverine; healing factor, unbreakable bones, and of course most famously some vicious claws. While Brown kills a good handful of soldiers on Stranger Things, Eleven never shows half the viciousness of the throat slicing, eyeball gouging X-23. Keen was great in the role, but I can’t be alone and wondering what Brown would have brought to the role. Logan/Stranger Things cross over anyone? Probably not, but a man can dream.

Another Spin-Off For The Conjuring 2 ?

The Conjuring is headed towards being the franchise with the most spin-offs in history. There is possibly another spin-off on its way. And no, I’m not talking about Annabelle 2: Creation or The Nun. Annabelle: Creation producer Peter Safran said something very interesting while talking with JoBlo recently. He said that it is a possibility that the “Crooked Man” from The Conjuring 2 may get a film of his own. “…I suspect a movie with him would be really really cool.” He continued, “…we have some interesting ideas for him. So we’ll see.” The creepy long-legged entity, played by Javier Botet, was not CGI like many thought. That was just Botet in a skin tight suit. Safran explains, “None of it was CG. It was 100% practical. That actor just looks like that, we created an amazing wardrobe for him. Skin tight latex-basically suit.” I could definitely see a whole film based on the character, he is creepy as hell.
