Watch the trailer for writer-director Castille Landon‘s (Sex Ed) new film Fear of Rain, a terrifying thriller that takes viewers inside the mind of a troubled girl who believes there is a dark secret lurking in the house next door. For teenager Rain Burroughs (Madison Iseman), a diagnosis with schizophrenia means that every day is a struggle as she tries to figure out which of the disturbing images, harrowing voices, and traumatic feelings she experiences are real and which are all in her mind. But when Rain insists against her parents’ (Katherine Heigl and Harry Connick, Jr.) advice that the shadows and cries from her neighbor’s attic are hiding a dark secret, she enlists help from Caleb (Israel Broussard), the charmingly awkward new boy at school – who himself may not be real.

It’s a battle with nature to get off the island while fiery death and destruction rain down from the mountain.” Xueqi Wang, Hannah Quinlivan, Jason Isaacs, and Shawn Dou star in Skyfire erupting onto VOD on January 12th, 2021.

CD Projekt Red, the makers of the now most controversial game of the year, Cyberpunk 2077 will be facing legal problems from none other than their own investors. A Warsaw-based legal firm has indicated that an investor is exploring legal action against the company for losses due to the game’s disastrous launch and massive refunds. A law firm based out of New York says it will also represent any shareholders who have lost money “resulting from allegations that CD Projekt may have issued materially misleading information to their shareholders and investing public”, this came after refunds were being given to players who bought Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 and Xbox. Cyberpunk 2077 has become the most controversial game release in recent years after all the hype build-up and promises broken by CD Projekt Red, for making their staff work long hours to make the game, and for the game to be almost unplayable for most due to the overwhelming number of

After a successful first season, the mystery thriller series “L.A. Macabre” is back with season 2 that is bigger, better, and more twisted. Following its release on Amazon Prime, we sat down to chat with one of the series’ stars, Ryan Hellquist who filled us in on the show, the new season, and much more. “L.A Macabre” centers on three filmmakers that interview a former member of the defunct cult “The New Family” leading them down a path of mystery, kidnapping, and murder. Hellquist stars alongside Corsica Wilson, and Aidan Bristow in the series written and directed by Dan Ast. Horror Fuel: “You star in the series “L.A. Macabre,” whose second season is now on Amazon. What’s it about?” Ryan Hellquist: “It’s a thriller, where my character is a part of a group of filmmakers who interview a former cult member. After the interview goes viral we start getting terrorized by the cult which escalates to people connected to us

Director Tim Hunter’s true story inspired horror Smiley Face Killers has just been released, and I’ve always found the true crimes interesting, so I decided to check it out. What I found wasn’t good. The synopsis reads as followed: “a handsome young soccer player Jake Graham who believes he is going insane, unable to shake the feeling of being stalked by something, by someone.” The film takes its inspiration from a series of mysterious deaths linked by the smiley face graffiti found near the crime scenes. The victims are all killed by mysteriously being drowned and have been deemed nonaccidental. Unfortunately, the movie treats the killings as a secondary theme with Jake’s depression and body exploitation at the forefront. The majority of the movie is just watching Ronen Rubinstein go from scene to scene shedding his clothes and acting moody as hell. Sure, Ronen Rubinstein is a handsome guy but I was there to watch a horror movie, not a
