When it comes to films, one of the most important jobs behind the camera doesn’t get the credit it deserves. I’m talking about the editors who take a string of shots and images and turn them into the movies we know and love. It’s not an easy job, and it truly makes a film what it is. I was excited when I got the confirmation that I would be sitting down with film editor Brian Philip Davis. The man knows horror. After all, he served as editor for some great films, including the vampire movie Boys from County Hell. And he recently reunited with Oddity filmmaker Damian McCarthy for Hokum, one of the biggest horror films of the year. And if you’ve seen it, you know exactly why I’m so excited about it. If not, you should check out my review in which I called it “creepy AF” and a “must-see.” In Hokum, Adam Scott (Severance) stars as Ohm Bauman,

If you thought the world of competitive dog grooming was cutthroat, wait until you see what happens when the pedigree gets political. Independent Film Company and Shudder have officially teamed up to acquire the distribution rights for Breeder, the highly anticipated debut feature from writer-director Alex Goyette. The blockbuster deal locks down screens across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. The film is set to unleash its world premiere at the Tribeca Festival tomorrow, June 6, before heading to theaters this fall. The Ultimate Student Loan Trap The narrative framework of Breeder takes the crushing reality of higher-education debt and drops it directly into a blender with high-concept body horror. The story follows a flat-broke college student who thinks he’s struck gold when an eccentric poodle breeder invites him out to her remote ranch under the guise of an incredibly generous research funding grant. Naturally, because this is a Shudder acquisition, there is a massive, stomach-churning

Washington Irving’s iconic 1819 short story, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, has been adapted more than once. We’ve seen him as an animated schoolteacher, a pale Johnny Depp in 1999, and a time-traveling Tom Mison on FOX. Now, a new take on the classic tale is headed your way, with a little bit of spice. Lindsey Anderson Beer, who we interviewed about Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, has penned a bold, contemporary take on classic folklore in her upcoming novel Hollow. Hollywood is so obsessed with the manuscript that a major movie adaptation is already sprinting out of the gate. Katrina Van Tassel Gets an Upgrade According to Deadline, Sydney Sweeney (The Housemaid, Anyone But You) has signed on to both produce and star in the film. Sweeney will be slipping into the corsets of Katrina Van Tassel. She’s the heroine portrayed by Christina Ricci in Tim Burton’s 1999 film. However, don’t expect Katrina to sit around looking pretty while Ichabod Crane

If you ever needed a reason to skip your next camping trip and stay safely indoors on your couch, this is it. The tense new survival-horror thriller Pitfall is officially out right now on Digital platforms, with a physical release on Blu-ray and DVD scheduled for July 20th. The film takes the classic “lost in the woods” trope and immediately plunges it into a highly creative, bone-shattering nightmare. A Vacation That Threatens to Tear Apart at the Seams The premise of Pitfall starts simply enough. A young man gets separated from his friends during a trek through a dense, unforgiving forest. However, he falls directly into a trap. The impact is brutal, impaling him cleanly through the leg and leaving him completely trapped. As he deals with the agonizing pain, the gravity of his situation sinks in: he quickly learns that this trap was not an accident. What follows is an intense battle of wits and endurance. While the movie

Along with the announcement, a chilling new look at the film has been released, setting the stage for its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival next month.

She receives a sudden, ominous phone call from her ailing father. He’s an acclaimed, reclusive artist who,
