The Grudge Is Getting A New American Sequel

Takashi Shimizu’s 2000 film Ju-On brought Japanese horror to the main stream worldwide and by 2004 we had an American remake. Sam Raimi produced The Grudge, which was followed by two sequels. The Japanese franchise has now reached eight films in total and currently we are waiting on the release of Sadako vs. Kayako (The Ring vs. The Grudge) this June. Now, news has come that a new American sequel to The Grudge franchise is coming our way. So far, details are slim, but the film has been described as a reboot of the franchise but not quite a remake and will tell a new story. I know, that sounds a little confusing. Word is, the new movie will introduce new characters, new locations, new mythology and a new ghost. Writer Jeff Buhler spoke with Dread Central about the new film. “Here’s a piece of news, sort of. I delivered the final script in November and worked really hard to

Hollywood Leaders Are Making A Stand Against Discrimination In Georgia

Update: Yesterday we published an article stating the AMC/The Walking Dead had joined Disney and Marvel in sending a clear message: if Governor Deal doesn’t shoot down the Religious-Liberties bill (H.B. 757), they will halt filming, pack it up and move their productions out of state for good. Today, a letter from the Human Rights Campaign was sent, signed by 34 prominent industry leaders, directors, producers, screenwriters, and others, urging Governor Nathan Deal not to let the bill go through. If the bill does pass and the companies pull out of the state, Georgia looks to loose billions. Last year alone over 245 films and series were filmed in Georgia. “We urge you to veto H.B. 757 and send a strong message that Georgia will not tolerate discrimination against its citizens, employees and visitors to the state.” The letter continues, “We plan to take our business elsewhere if any legislation is signed into state law.” The signatures include: Ali Adler

Man Arrested For Not Returning A 14 Year Old VHS Tape

Do you remember the joy of walking into a video rental store and seeing those marvelous shelves and isles full of potential frights? Of course, you do. At least once, you accidentally left a tape in a hot car, only to find a melted pile of distorted film or sat one on your car, only to forget about it, until you felt that thump as your tires crushed it to bits, or you may have just completely forgot you had it all together. Well, for one man in Concord, North Carolina his forgotten tape has landed him in jail. That’s right, jail. James Meyers was arrested for failing to return a 14 year-old VHS of 2002’s Freddy Got Fingered to J&J’s video, which is now closed. Meyers is also facing a whooping $200 fine. Tuesday, Meyers was driving his daughter to school when he was pulled over. The officer ran his information only to discover that there was a warrant

Meanwhile, across the valley at a local radio station, Ben (Gareth David-Lloyd) and Laurie (Siwan Morris) are half-way through their last radio show.

“Curve” 2016 Horror Movie Review

“Curve” is a 2016 survival horror film directed by Iain Softley who is known for his work on “Backbeat”, “Hackers”, “The Wings of the Dove”, “K-PAX”, and “The Skeleton Key”. The two main stars of the film are played by the beautiful Julianne Hough, who is known for her roles in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and “Footloose”, and Teddy Sears who was on the television show “Raising the Bar” and the film “A Single Man”; which is a fantastic film by the way if you haven’t seen it yet. “Curve” comes at us from the producer Jason Blum who is the amazing man who brought us the horror movies Paranormal Activity , The Purge, Insidious , and Sinister . Knowing that going in, I was extremely excited to crack into and watch this film. Our main protagonist Mallory, as the film begins, is driving all alone down a road in her truck. She stops at a fork in

Sony Cancels Ghostbusters Movie Starring Channing Tatum And Chris Pratt

Last year we reported that there were not one, but two Ghostbusters films in the works. The first film, Paul Feig’s the female-driven female-driven Ghostbusters and the second, a male-driven Ghostbusters starring Chris Pratt and Channing Tatum. Joe and Anthony Russo, the duo behind Captain America: Civil War were attached to the second film, which is now put on hold indefinitely. There was a plan in place to construct a shared universe between the two new films, with a future crossover, but that will not be happening any time soon. With the backlash from fans over Ghostbusters (2016), putting off another movie is probably for the best. Let’s be honest, no matter who stars in a new Ghostbusters movies, it will never top the originals and fans know it. Sony may be realizing that it’s time to get off the remake train, at least I hope they are.
