Home Invasion Horror ‘Shady Grove’ Premiering Just In Time For Halloween

A couple’s retreat becomes a fight for survival in the new trailer for the indie horror Shady Grove, from director Dale Resteghini. In the film, “A young couple, Shaina and Mark, attend a music festival with their best friend Elijah on their annual pilgrimage away from their work-heavy city lives. It’s also something of a farewell trip for the couple because they are expecting, though they haven’t told Elijah, yet. Their plan is to tell him while at that beautiful cabin they found on a vacation rental app. Upon arrival, the host is nowhere to be found, but she has left instructions for them on the door along with a gift basket of wine. Everything is perfect except the faint smell of death that only pregnant Shaina can smell. After a visit by two beautiful women, Shaina quickly becomes suspicious – things just don’t add up. When Elijah disappears, she and Mark begin to search frantically for their friend, only

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

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

The Grinch Is Out For Blood In 'The Mean One' Trailer

This December The Grinch Is Out For Blood In ‘The Mean One’

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. This time the Grinch isn’t out to steal presents and Christmas trees, he’s out for blood. The official synopsis goes like this: “The Mean One (David Howard Thornton) is a hairy, green-skinned grump in a Santa suit, living on a mountain high above the town of Newville, despising the holiday season. Young Cindy You-Know-Who (Krystle Martin), whose parents were butchered by The Mean One 20 Christmases earlier, is returning to town to seek closure… but is about to discover that this fiend with a heart two sizes too small is still quite eager to carve the roast beast.” The Grinch is being played by none other than David Howard Thorton, who plays Art the Clown in the Terrifier franchise. He is joined by Krystle Martin, Chase Mullins, Rachel Winfree, Amy Schumacher, Allyson Sereboff, and more. Alex

Blu-Ray Review: Slaughter Day (1991)

Blu-Ray Review: Slaughter Day (1991)

Two pals buy a lunch and bitch bout booze money as they head out for a hard day working construction at a remote cabin in Hawaii (didn’t see that one coming did ya?). Once on-site they witness one of their peers blasting geysers of blood from a wound inflicted from machete wielding psycho/amateur occultist John Jones (Sam Bluestone). Our heroes don’t stand for this kind of maiming and proceed to beat Jones’ ass before escorting him by truck where the battle continues in the bed of a moving truck… and let me just stop this sinister synopsis to commend the absolutely absurd danger of filming this, and the result is at times nail-biting indeed! Anyway, the chase continues until Jones huffs some sort of gas from a respirator mask and disappears into thin air which slightly rattles our heroes, but not as much as it would say, any normal-ass mother fucker that would bear witness to that David Copperfield shit.

Box Set Review: The Incredibly Strange Films of Ray Dennis Steckler (1962 - 1986)

Box Set Review: The Incredibly Strange Films of Ray Dennis Steckler (1962 – 1986)

Severin has recently unleashed a new box set titled The Incredibly Strange Films of Ray Dennis Steckler, and that is my personal choice for understatement of the century! Let’s just dive-in to the first feature in the set, 1962’s Wild Guitar: The incredible legend (well at least his Dad wanted that to be a thing) Arch Hall Jr. (who also appeared in the caveman shocker Eegah! the same year) stars as Bud Eagle, a dude that’s a lil’ bit Elvis but is more a clumsy doofus with a massive Johnny Bravo-style blonde pompadour. Anyway Bud blows in to Hollywood one fateful day, down to his last fifteen cents, and happens into a diner (populated by cartoon hooligans and an inexplicable kid dressed as a cowboy) where he meets the bubbly, Joker-grin having Vickie (Nancy Czar), a hopeful dancer that let’s Bud tag along with her to a variety show taping where she struts her stuff; a shimmy-packed, facial tick-laced dynamite

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
