My Stepmother is an Alien begins with Tom Jones’ cover of Prince’s Kiss, and every woman over the age of 65 within a mile from my dread dwelling spontaneously came. Once that was mopped up, I could carry on with my sinister synopsis… Widowed scientist Steven Mills (Dan Aykroyd) accidentally shoots a beam into space that effects the gravity of a planet light years away. Said planet sends out star-born sex-pot Celeste (Kim Basinger), along with a tentacle in a magic bag, to figure out why some Earth-slug fucked up their planet… but complication arise as Mills becomes so full of the horny for the goofy, off-kilter alien-in-disguise that he beds her and weds her within the space of 24 hours! While being a cheerleader for her Dad’s sex-life, Mills’ daughter Jessie (Buffy alum/band camp story generator Alyson Hannigan, albeit in child format) becomes suspicious of Celeste when she sees her doing weird alien shit like chuggin’ batteries… but not

Sony’s Marvel vampire movie, Morbius is finally heading our way after several delays. Today, we’ve got a new featurette to share with you that gives us a glimpse into the lore of Dr. Michael Morbius. Played by Oscar® winner Jared Leto, Morbius is a scientist who, while trying to find a cure for a rare blood disease, accidentally transforms himself into a living vampire. “While at first, it seems to be a radical success, the darkness inside him is unleashed. Will good override evil – or will Morbius succumb to his mysterious new urges?” Tyrese Gibson stars as FBI agent Simon Stroud; Jared Harris (“The Terror”) plays Morbius’ mentor; Matt Smith (“Doctor Who”) plays the film’s villain Loxias Crown; and Adria Arjona (Pacific Rim: Uprising) is Morbius’ love interest.

We’ve got a few details surrounding the movie including its released date! “Dear White People’s” Justin Simien is directing from the script penned by Katie Dippold, whose previous projects include The Heat, Spy, and 2016’s female-driven Ghostbusters reboot (try not to hold that against her).

Mark Pellington’s (“The Mothman Prophecies”) new viscerally explosive experimental feature film “The Severing,” which made its World Premiere at Slamdance, is set to make its theatrical premiere in Los Angeles as part of the American Cinematheque screening series on Sunday, February, 27th at 7pm at the Los Feliz 3 with a filmmaker Q&A to follow featuring director Mark Pellington (“The Mothman Prophecies”), choreographer Nina McNeely (Gaspar Noe’s “Climax”) and composer Pete Adams. The Severing is a powerful experimental feature that offeres a cathartic movement piece that filmmaker Mark Pellington (“The Mothman Prophecies”) created in collaboration with the brilliant choreographer Nina McNeely (Gaspar Noe’s “Climax”) and rising Dutch cinematographer Anna Aevelin Lawford. Inspired by the Wim Wenders film “Pina,” Pellington was interested in expressing feelings and emotions through a ‘story of movement and text’, rather than plot, capturing emotion and physicality on an experiential, non-linear visceral level. There is a story in this film, but it is abstract, and found in

Mother Nature is not the only thing to fear in Unsheltered, part slasher, part disaster movie, premiering this February. From Buffalo 8, Eagle Eye Entertainment, and Reel Productions, Unsheltered is set in the wake of Hurricane Irma. The disappearance of five college kids sets in motion a media storm that gives way to a deadly conspiracy. The film finds our characters in dire straits when Hurricane Irma makes landfall. Unable to evacuate the town in time, they must seek shelter elsewhere. However, when they finally do find shelter, they’ll probably wish they stayed outside.

It all leads to a shocking revelation that will hit like a punch to the gut.” Unsheltered stars Raven Wynn, Caleb Martin, Chauntel Hall, Melinda Kay, Edgar Tomas Lopez, Rachel Kranstin, Ray Lloyd, Michael A.

Werewolves are among the most enduring horror movie characters, but they’ve gone mainstream in recent years, popping up in numerous ways and places. Have these shape-shifting creatures lost their ability to scare us by appearing in so many movies, games, and even songs? Source: Pixabay Werewolves in Games Many games have werewolves in them, from Blood the Werewolf, released by Scientifically Proven in 2013, to Werewolf Within, and several of the Castlevania titles. Not all of these games present the wolf-like creatures as being scary, but they do give them special powers, such as extra speed and power, making them extremely hard to defeat. We can also see werewolves feature in online slots, making these creatures available to a wide audience of gamblers. Titles include Curse of the Werewolves Megaways by Pragmatic Play, which is available on the Paddy Power site.
