First Trailer For Horror ‘The Outwaters’ Debuts At Terrifier 2 Screenings (Watch)

Audiences that went to theaters to see the premiere of Terrifier 2 were treated to the first teaser trailer for The Outwaters, a throwback to the early days of the found footage genre. “Playing out over three memory cards discovered in the Mojave Desert, four travelers set out to make a music video while camping.

Then one night everything changes, sending the foursome on a mind-bending trip through terror.” Writer-director Robbie Banfitch takes viewers off the beaten path and into their own nightmares with the film starring Angela Basolis, Michelle May, Scott Schamell, and Banfitch. “My whole life I’ve dreamed of making a ‘scary movie,’” says Banfitch. “Thanks to friends, family, and years of hard work, the daydreams were made tangible. We filmed in the dark and dust and along the sand-swept highways of the Mojave. We screamed and laughed and

Watch The New Trailer For James Wan's Creepy Doll Movie 'M3GAN'

Watch The New Trailer For James Wan’s Creepy Doll Movie ‘M3GAN’

I find few things creepier than dolls. If you’re like me you can’t get passed those dead eyes that always seem to be watching you. It’s even worse when they are animated, moving about. That’s what makes the horror movie M3GAN, from horror heavy hitter James Wan so disturbing. If you’re like me, the new trailer will truly give you the creeps. In the movie, “Gemma, is a brilliant roboticist at a toy company who uses artificial intelligence to develop M3GAN, a life-like doll programmed to be a kid’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. After unexpectedly gaining custody of her orphaned niece, Gemma enlists the help of the M3GAN prototype — a decision that has unimaginable consequences.” Allison Williams (“Girls”) leads the cast as Gemma. Ronny Chieng (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Crazy Rich Asians) also stars in the movie directed by Gerard Johnstone (Housebound) and written by Akela Cooper (Malignant, The Nun 2) which
