For generations, Hammer Horror has been an intricate part of the genre, delivering so many great films, including their own twist on classic monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein. Variety is reporting that Hammer Films has created Hammer Studios Ltd., the latest evolution of the iconic British film company that will not only manage Hammer’s vast library but will also be restoring their classics and creating new films.

Netflix has really been on a roll the past few years, releasing a ton of foreign horror films and series (not that we are complaining). There’s a new movie headed your way that you might want to add to your watch list, the Spanish horror-thriller Two (aka Dos). The movie centers on two strangers who wake up together to find themselves connected at the abdomen. They have no recollection of how they got to the mysterious room they find themselves in and growing increasingly suspicious of each other. They must connect the dots to find out how to get out of their new hell. Marina Gatell (Little Ashes) stars alongside Pablo Derqui (Julia’s Eyes) in Two, from brilliant director Mar Targarona, who was behind 2007’s The Orphanage and 2012’s The Body. Two makes its premiere on Netflix on December 10, 2021.

After a long wait, Jurassic World: Dominion is finally headed our way. Today we’ve got the movie’s five-minute prologue that takes us back 65 million years. As the video begins we see dinosaurs gathering around a body of water and going about their daily lives, then things flash forward 65 million years to the present day as a helicopter chases a T-Rex to a drive-in. As the classic song “Let’s Go Down to the Lobby” plays a kid looks up to see the massive dinosaur stomping through the crowd in his direction while all hell breaks loose, reminding us just how scary it would be if the creatures still walked the earth. Colin Trevorrow, who was behind Jurassic World, directs from a script written by Emily Carmichael, based on a story by him and Derek Connolly. One of the most exciting details of the movie is that Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, and BD Wong are all returning along with
