From Director Luke Scott And Producer Ridley Scott Comes The Horror-Scifi Film Morgan

Luke Scott’s sci-fi thriller Morgan has released a new teaser trailer, which has a serious Alien vibe. It’s not surprising, Luke Scott’s father is none other than legendary director Ridley Scott, who is a producer for the film. The trailer is dark and the lullaby playing in the background makes it very creepy. We see a child that has been created as part of an experiment, developing at an alarming rate. In Morgan “A corporate troubleshooter (Kate Mara) is sent to a remote, top-secret location, where she is to investigate and evaluate a terrifying accident. She learns the event was triggered by a seemingly innocent “human”, who presents a mystery of both infinite promise and incalculable danger.” “What ‘Morgan’ really alludes to is human begins becoming, in a sense, the creator. Not in a traditional religious sense, but an idea that we have the capabilities to become our own creator. And what I suspect could happen – we’ve seen it

‘The Witch’ Cast A Spell On Me – A Review

Since I first heard about The Witch early last year I’ve been waiting for my opportunity to see it. Like many people, I had to wait until it was released on DVD and Blu-ray. Finally, last night I got my chance. Both written and directed by Robert Eggers, who I think is simply brilliant, The Witch follows a family cast out of their village in the 1630s. The family finds a plot of land to settle that is bordered by a forest, rumored to be the home of witches and dark spirits. During a game of peek-a-boo between the oldest daughter, Thomasin (Anya Taylor-Joy), and her youngest sibling Samuel, the baby disappears without a trace. This is just the first of many tragic events the family is about to face. The harder their life becomes the harder they pray, but find no relief. The family begins to suspect someone among them has been tainted by evil and the main suspect
