Shudder’s Golden Globe Nominated Horror ‘La Llorona’ Is Coming To Digital

RLJE Films, a business unit of AMC Networks, has now picked up the select rights to Shudder’s hit film La Llorona for home release. La Llorona blends together the terror of both myth and reality into a devastating exposé of the genocidal atrocities against the Mayan community in Guatemala. Through a modern retelling of the classic Latin American legend, La Llorona forces a reckoning with not-so-distant crimes that should not have ever have been forgotten. The story centers on indignant retired general Enrique who finally faces trial for the genocidal massacre of thousands of Mayans decades ago. As a horde of angry protestors threatens to invade their opulent home, the women of the house – his haute wife, conflicted daughter, and precocious granddaughter – weigh their responsibility to shield the erratic, senile Enrique against the devastating truths behind being publicly revealed and the increasing sense that a wrathful supernatural force is targeting them for his crimes. Meanwhile, much of the

Movie Review: ‘Sator’ (2021)

Jordan Graham’s new supernatural horror Sator is heading towards its release. I got a chance to watch it early and I thought I’d share my thoughts with you. In Sator, Graham’s family, including his grandmother, have claimed to have long had contact with a mysterious presence by the name of Sator. After the sudden loss of his mother, Adam has become a recluse and retreats deep into the forest to his family’s cabin. When he’s not hunting, he sits in the dark cabin along with his trusty dog and listens to the tapes of his grandmother talking to Sator while consumed by the trances she frequently falls into. Gabriel Nicholson stars as Adam, who is best described as the silent type, hell, he barely says anything at all. I’m sure his lack of lines was meant to make him come across as sort of stoic, but it only makes him feel distant and cold. The other main character is Adam’s

Movie Review: ‘Freaky’ Is One Hell Of A Fun Flick!

When a movie gets a huge advertising campaign or a ton of attention on social media, I often find myself let down after I actually get to watch it. But that’s not the case with writer-director Christopher Landon’s (Happy Death Day, the Paranormal Activity franchise) Freaky. In the movie, high schooler Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton) is just trying to survive the cruel halls of Blissfield High and the evil of the popular crowd. But when she becomes the newest target of “The Butcher” (Vince Vaughn), the infamous serial killer who stalks her town, her lack of popularity becomes the least of her worries. Part horror, part comedy, Freaky gets so much right. Newton plays the perfect balance of kind and quirky and is truly relatable. You really feel for her, but when her soul gets swapped with the killers, you can clearly see the change even in subtle ways, like her wardrobe and the looks she gives. Vince Vaughn kills
