One of the things that made Jaws great was it’s realism. It truly made you think before you dipped your toes in the ocean again. Even though a lot of shark movies have come out over the past few years, they were all silly CGI jokes, like Sharnado. Now, a new film is looking to bring back the emotions that Jaws captured so flawlessly. Jaume Coliet-Serra’s new film The Shallows stars Blake Lively as an injured surfer, stranded on an islet. One thing is keeping her from swimming to shore, a huge Great White circling the islet. The Shallows is set to be released on June 24 by Sony Pictures, right in the middle of beach season.

There are few things creepier than kids in horror films. One of the most popular franchises featuring evil kids is Children of the Corn. And a new sequel, the tenth film of the franchise, is filming as we speak. Joel Soisson (Children of the Corn: Genesis) penned the new script and John Gulager (Feast, Piranha 3DD) is in the director’s chair. Little else is known about the project at this point. Dimension Films has not revealed if the new Children of the Corn will be direct to DVD like many if its predecessors or who has been cast. Many believe that Dimension is rushing to make the film due to the fact that if a new film of a franchise isn’t made every six years, they will loose the rights to the franchise. But I guess we will find out soon enough. The original Children of the Corn premiered on March 9, 1984 and centered on a couple trapped in

“Evil Souls” is a 2015 horror film that was directed by Maurizio del Piccolo and Roberto del Piccolo. They both worked on another horror movie back in 2011 called “The Hounds”. The antagonist of “Evil Souls” is named Valentine who is played by Peter Cosgrove. He is known for the recent film “Grainne Uaile” and the two upcoming movies “Dalriata’s King” and “Wonderland”. The protagonist of the film is named Father Albert played by Julian Boote who is known for his parts in The Killing Zone, Dead Room and Mesocafé. The movie is working with a low budget but the practical effects are great considering that fact. “Evil Souls” relies on what the new French wave of horror has popularized and that’s what I supposed is referred to as “disturbing” or “shock gore”. Some of the shock scenes in this film were reminiscent of one of my favorite movies of all time: “Martyrs”. “Evil Souls” has a way lower budget

Hardy is the forth director to step away from the reboot. Several actors have also backed out of the film.
