Award Winning Horror ‘Parasite’ Getting An English Series Adaptation

It appears that many people can’t deal with subtitles, and I get it. But those people are missing out on some seriously amazing films. One foreign horror that is getting a ton of attention from those who can tolerate subtitles is Parasite, hailed as one of the best films of 2019 by many critics. THR is reporting that award-winning Korean film is being adapted into an English-language limited series for HBO with director Bong Joon Ho teaming up with Adam McKay for the series, but there is no word yet if the series will be a continuance of the film or a reboot. The film centers on two opposing families, one rich and one poor. All unemployed, Ki-taek and his family take peculiar interest in the wealthy and glamorous Parks, as they ingratiate themselves into their lives and get entangled in an unexpected incident.

‘IT’ Director Rebooting ‘The Howling’

Over the past few years, the horror genre has continued to grow by leaps and bounds and that trend shows no sign of slowing. With reboots and remakes growing in popularity as well it’s no surprise that genre classics are all on the chopping block. The latest classic to be added to the reboot list is the werewolf classic The Howling. The best part of the news, Andrés Muschietti, the director of IT, will be at the helm for Netflix. Muschietti revealed the news during a Q&A with That HashTag Show following a screening of Underwater. The original 1981 film is an adaptation of the novel by Gary Brander and starred Dee Wallace. It was directed by Joe Dante whose film was not a word for word adaptation. There are no details yet if the new film will be a reboot of the novel or the film, so we’ll just have to wait and see. In Dante’s The Howling, a

Horror-on-Sea Film Festival, which runs January 10th–19th at Park Inn by Raddison Palace, Southend-on-Sea, U.K., features an incredible program of horror and horror comedy features and shorts from around the world. Following are reviews of three of the short films that will screen at the festival.
