Six New Clips From ’47 Meters Down: Uncaged” Will Make You “Shiver”

Ahead of its arrival in theaters this week, we have a “shiver” (what you call a group of sharks) of clips from Johannes Roberts‘ (47 Meters Down) shark sequel 47 Meters Down: Uncaged. The sequel follows, “Four teen girls diving in a ruined underwater city quickly find themselves in a watery hell as their fun outing turns into heart-stopping fear when they learn they are not alone in the submerged caves. As they swim deeper into the claustrophobic labyrinth of caves they enter the territory of the deadliest shark species in the ocean.” John Corbett (“Sex in the City”), Nia Long (“Empire”), Corinne Foxx, Sistine Stallone, Sophie Nelisse (The Book Thief), Brianne Tju (“Scream” TV series), Davi Santos (Polaroid), Khylin Rhambo (“Teen Wolf”), and Brec Bassinger star along with Corinne Foxx and Sistine Stallone (the daughters of Jamie Foxx and Sylvester Stallone) who are making their feature debuts. 47 Meters Down: Uncaged swims into theaters on August 16, 2019.

Mike Flanagan Teases ‘Haunting of Bly Manor’ Scarier Than ‘Hill House’

Following the massive success of “The Haunting of Hill House,” Mike Flanagan and Netflix are gearing up for the series’ second season “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” inspired by Henry James’ novella The Turn of the Screw. During a talk with Birth.Movies.Death Flanagan reveals that this season will be “unbelievably scary.” For Henry James fans, it’s going to be pretty wild, and for people who aren’t familiar with his work, it’s going to be unbelievably scary. I already think it’s much scarier than season one, so I’m very excited about it,” Flanagan said. Flanagan also teased that there will be a little different from the novella. We’re looking at all the ghost stories of Henry James as the jumping-off point for the season, so it very much is a whole new deal. It’s a cool way to expand on some of the things I loved about season one, but within the framework of a new story, without having to be

Wet Your Appetite With The First Images From Miles Doleac’s ‘The Dinner Party’

Writer-director Miles Doleac (Demons, Hallowed Ground) comes his latest film, The Dinner Party, “a wickedly delish slice of horror that’s part Guto Parente’s The Cannibal Club, part Mother, and all scares!” In the film, currently filming in Hattiesburg, MS, the film centers on a ” budding playwright and his wife attend a dinner party hosted by wealthy, cultural elites, who have promised to bankroll the writer’s latest play to Broadway, but, in fact, have darker designs in mind for the couple.” The Dinner Party stars Bill Sage, Lindsay Anne Williams, Jeremy London, Mike Mayhall, Alli Hart, Ritchie Montgomery, and Doleac, best known for his roles on TV’s “Banshee” and “American Horror Story”. The Dinner Party is this delightfully weird, yet poignant piece of horror satire that presents itself as the twisted love child of “Eyes Wide Shut”, “Mother”, the “American Horror Story” anthology, and “The Rocky Horror Picture Show”. “Doleac says. “It’s unlike anything I’ve directed to date and certainly

IT: Chapter Two’s Andy Muschietti Adapating Stephen King’s ‘Roadwork’

Stephen King adaptations just keep coming, not that we’re complaining. The latest edition to the list is an adaptation of King’s Roadwork which is now in the works from Andy and Barbara Muschietti (IT, IT: Chapter Two), who will be producing. Pablo Trapero (The Clan) is directing. Production is set to begin next year. In the book, “It’s all coming to an end for Barton Dawes. The city’s Highway 784 extension is in the process of being constructed right across town and inexorably through every aspect of Bart’s existence—whether it’s about to barrel over the laundry plant where he makes a living, or soon to smash through the very home where he makes a life. But as a result, something’s been happening inside Bart’s head that a heartless local bureaucracy isn’t prepared for—a complete and irrevocable burnout of the mental circuit breaker that keeps a mild-mannered person from turning to violent means. As the wheels of progress and a demolition

Universal Pulls Controversial Movie ‘The Hunt’ Following Mass Shootings

Following the recent mass shootings, Universal Pictures has made the decision to halt the marketing and release of The Hunt, from director Craig Zobel and Blumhouse. While Universal Pictures had already paused the marketing campaign for The Hunt, after thoughtful consideration, the studio has decided to cancel our plans to release the film,“ the studio said in a statement. “We stand by our filmmakers and will continue to distribute films in partnership with bold and visonary creators, like those associated with this satirical social thriller, but we understand that now is not the right time to release this film.” You may be wondering what makes The Hunt so “controversial”.
