The first image from Jon Turteltaub‘s (National Treasure) prehistoric shark movie The Meg has arrived via Empire. The image shows action star Jason Statham (The Expendables franchise) standing in front of what appears to be a window (underwater) with the giant Megalodon shark looking in. “I play a former navy captain and diver,” Statham tells Empire, “and I get hired to rescue a team of scientists who are trapped at the bottom of the sea in their research station by a giant shark. Then all hell breaks loose.” In the film, “A deep-sea submersible—part of an international undersea observation program—has been attacked by a massive creature, previously thought to be extinct, and now lies disabled at the bottom of the deepest trench in the Pacific…with its crew trapped inside. With time running out, expert deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor (Statham) is recruited by a visionary Chinese oceanographer (Winston Chao), against the wishes of his daughter Suyin (Li Bingbing), to save

Christmas time is here and gifts are coming from the folks at Techland in the form of Elf-dressed Zombies in ‘Dying Light’ the first-person survival horror game where players can craft weapons and use parkour skills to survive a zombie outbreak in a quarantined city. As of the 22nd of December, a community challenge called ‘Sharing is Caring’ where players have to treat the festive-looking zombies “naughty” enough to get 1 of 8 presents before the challenge ends on New Years Day. Basically what you have to do is play ‘Dying Light’ go to either Old Town or the Slums and start your journey and locate the festive zombies in green shirts and red and white striped pants, kill them and loot their bodies of Christmas candy! The best tactic I use to get close enough to these guys is to disguise myself (hence the yellow screen on the pic) so you’re invisible to the zombies and you just sneak

Gamers and fans of the film and book ‘World War Z’ will be able to take their love of the story a step further and actually be in the middle of the body-piling chaos along with friends in the upcoming 4 player Co-Op video game by Saber Interactive. The overall story is unknown but takes players to recognizable locations from the film as well as some locations that were not in the film. Players can make traps, upgrade weapons, build barriers, and use their surroundings to keep back and survive the (debatable) undead hoard. My prediction is the game will resemble that of ‘Left 4 Dead’ and ‘Killing Floor’ both game series focus on teamwork and reaching objectives while surviving an onslaught of zombies. The game will be available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, you can check out the reveal trailer below and check out the website here!

On the season finale of ‘The Walking Dead’ fans (some) were crushed when in the final moments Carl (Chandler Riggs) revealed that he had been bitten by a walker. While it wasn’t told in the finale, Carl was actually bitten in the previous episode. Some fans aren’t taking the news very well and are still holding out hope that somehow Carl will survive. Showrunner Scott Gimple stated that Carl will die “like every other character bitten on the show”, but still, some are holding out hope that it is a trick. Chandler Riggs himself has made it clear he has been fired from the show, so has Chandler’s father who posted several comments on the subject. To further prove it’s the end for Carl today Chandler shared an image that has his fans in shock. He’s cut off his signature ‘Walking Dead’ long hair. While some will just have to come to terms with Carl’s death, and others celebrate it,

There’s no question that James Gunn is an amazing filmmaker. Gunn’s Guardians of the Galaxy franchise proved that to the world. Now, Gunn is gearing up to return to his horror roots as a producer for a still unnamed genre film written by Gunn’s brother Brian and his cousin Mark Gunn, the writing duo behind Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. The film will be directed by Gunn’s longtime collaborator David Yarovesky, the man behind the stomach-churning 2015 film The Hive which had some viewers fainting and puking. Financed by The H Collective who will produce, the film will see Gunn produce under his Troll Court Entertainment banner. Nic Crawley of The H Collective will serve as executive producer. At the moment the plot and cast for the untitled project is being kept under wraps, but we do know that it is aiming to start production in spring of 2018. While the world recognizes James Gunn as the man behind Guardian

Recently I had the honor and privilege to interview Author Danica Davidson. Danica is leaving her mark on the literary world with quite an extensive resume but her crowning achievement is being the author of a series of books based on the smash hit video game ‘Minecraft’. Horror Fuel: “What or Who, inspired you to become a writer?” Danica Davidson : “I just liked telling stories ever since I was a little kid. I have stories from when I was three, that I either wrote IN VERY BIG LETTERS or my parents wrote down when I dictated it to them (and the letters look much better). I was writing and illustrating my own stapled-together picture books in first grade and writing novels in middle school. I was even submitting to agents and people in publishing at that time, and they all told me I was too young. I didn’t give up.” Horror Fuel: “You have quite a list of notable

I waited until midnight of the 12th and got the free DLC ‘Not a Hero’, installed it and played it. The only complaint I had about the game was that it was an hour long, being a free download I guess there’s really nothing to be too upset about. The controls for the game are the same as the main story but you’re equipped with only two weapons, a high powered pistol, and a semi-automatic shotgun. You also have a knife and grenades. The options you set up for the main story carry over into the DLC (screen brightness, subtitles, language, etc). Onto the story (Possible Spoilers) first thing, if you have not played the main story, play that first or else the ‘Not a Hero’ makes no sense. The story takes place immediately after the events of the main story. You play as Chris Redfield, a veteran character from the game series, before I continue I’ll address the big

WARNING SPOILERS! Last night the midseason finale of ‘The Walking Dead’ left many fans in shock when a major revelation was revealed in the final moments. After only a few moments into the episode, we learned that Negan and many of his men escaped after Daryl, Michonne, and Tara sent a truck crashing into the saviors’ compound in the previous episode. When Negan and the Saviors arrived at the gates of Alexandria Rick was nowhere to be found, and the group was in shock. Carl stepped up as a leader, telling the group that it is his “his show”. While Carl gave a passionate speech that seemed to get under the skin of Negan several trucks attempted to escape, but they left Carl and many of the main group to escape on foot. As Carl attempted to find safety a grenade hit a nearby car exploding, leaving Carl temporarily unconscious. This where I couldn’t help but wonder why they would

Fans of Netflix’s hit series ‘Stranger Things’ are asking when the show’s third season will premier. In a recent interview with Variety David Harbour, who plays Chief Hopper, broke the news that it will be a while before we see season three and it’s going to leave fans disappointed. Harbour, who is set to play Hellboy in the upcoming film from Neil Marshall, told the site that filming for the next season won’t begin until April. This means that we probably won’t see the season 3 premiere until 2019. Harbour stated that good things take time, but I’m sure that’s not much comfort to those who immediately wanted more as soon as the finished binge-watching season two and instantly want more.
