While many details surrounding the upcoming David Gordon Green (Halloween franchise) reimagining of The Exorcist remain elusive, one detail we’ve learned puts a different spin on the original story. Unlike the 1973 classic, the new movie will center on a father (Leslie Odom Jr.) whose child becomes possessed. He seeks out the help of someone who has had a similar experience, none other than Chris MacNeil, Regan’s mother, played by original actress Ellen Burstyn. This could change the entire tone of the film. So far, the only cast that has been announced includes Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton), Nick Benas (“Stranger Things” season 4), Nigel Barto (“P-Valley”), Ann Dowd, Rory Gross, Richard Carr III, and Amanda Beth. Blumhouse, Morgan Creek, Peacock, and Universal are all involved in the new version, which has a massive budget of $400 Million. But the big question is can it stand up to the 1973 original that is still referred to as “the best horror movie

Scott Cooper’s (Antlers) new film The Pale Bue Eye has just made its debut on Netflix, and boy, have I been waiting to see it! The film centers on Christian Bale’s Augustus Landor, a retired detective tasked with investigating a rash of murders. Set at “West Point, 1830, when Poe did attend in real life, a cadet is found dead in the early hours of a winter morning. But after the body arrives at the morgue, tragedy becomes savagery when it’s discovered that the young man’s heart has been skillfully cut out.
