Supernatural Thriller ‘The Wind’ Blows Into Theaters This April

Emma Tammi makes her debut with the haunting supernatural thriller The Wind, which held its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before heading to Fantastic Fest, Sitges, and others. The film explores an unseen evil as it haunts the homestead in this chilling, folkloric tale of madness, paranoia, and otherworldly terror. Lizzy (Caitlin Gerard) is a tough, resourceful frontierswoman settling a remote stretch of land on the 19th-century American frontier. Isolated from civilization in a desolate wilderness where the wind never stops howling, she begins to sense a sinister presence that seems to be born of the land itself, an overwhelming dread that her husband (Ashley Zukerman) dismisses as superstition. When a newlywed couple arrives on a nearby homestead, their presence amplifies Lizzy’s fears, setting into motion a shocking chain of events. Masterfully blending haunting visuals with pulse-pounding sound design, director Emma Tammi evokes a godforsaken world in which the forces of nature come alive with quivering menace. Julia

Second ‘Brightburn’ Trailer Teases A Superhero Gone Bad

What if Superman was born bad? We’re about to find out in the James Gunn-produced film Brightburn from director David Yarovesky. We’ve gotten our hands on the second trailer that reveals what happens when superheroes go bad.

In this horror-centered take on the superhero trope, a couple (Elizabeth Banks and David Denman) adopt a baby from another world. They raise the boy (Jackson A. Dunn) to use his powers for good, but an evil begins to grow within him. Brightburn takes over theaters on May 24, 2019.

A First Glimpse Of Jared Leto As Morbius

Filming for Sony’s dark Spider-Man spin-off Morbius is in full swing. Thanks to star Jared Leto‘s tweet we’ve got our first glimpse of the scientist turned vampire. While we don’t see much, the tweet does let us know that there are 11 weeks of filming left to go.

Jared Leto stars as Michael Morbius, a scientist who, while trying to find a cure for a rare blood disease, accidentally transforms himself into a living vampire.

Movie Review: Starfish (2018)

Aubrey (Virginia Gardner) is having one of those days; she wakes up the day after her friend Grace’s (Christina Masterson) funeral to find her small mountain town in the throws of a monster filled apocalyptic event (happens more than you think boils n’ ghouls…). Anyway, how her friend is connected to these events, and how they can be stopped, are up to Aubrey to discover as she goes on a scavenger hunt for a series of mix tapes Grace has left behind in various locations. Yup, some cassette tapes may cancel the apocalypse… Does that synopsis above sound weird, and perhaps a bit vague? Well, you can bet your ass the film it describes sure as hell is! Starfish is a post-modern, thinking person’s fright flick…but don’t let that turn ya off; this thing is packed with a sinister vibe, mysterious recordings, creepy monsters, and anime…and I don’t mean a character just digs on cartoons; there’s a full on, breathtaking
