The First Trailers For New ‘Ghostbusters’ Movie Arrive

Yesterday we reported that Jason Reitman is following in his father’s footsteps and directing the next Ghostbusters movie. Today, we have the trailer announcement as well as the first teaser trailer that hints at the return of an original. Before you start stressing out, the movie will be a direct sequel to 1989’s Ghostbusters II. It will completely bypass the 2016 trainwreck. The film is “set in the world that was saved decades previously by the proton pack-wearing working stiffs in the original 1984 movie.” I’ve always thought of myself as the first Ghostbusters fan when I was a 6-year-old visiting the set. I wanted to make a movie for all the other fans,” the publication quoted Reitman as saying. “This is the next chapter in the original franchise. It is not a reboot. What happened in the ’80s happened in the ’80s, and this is set in the present day.” Reitman said. The Juno/Tully director co-wrote the script for

Short Film Review: Shovel (2018)

A little girl (Aeona Cruz) skips merrily on her way among the flowers while a blood soaked brute of a man (Doug Newville…who also wrote the short) with one hell of an angry lookin’ shovel does the devil’s business on anyone unlucky enough to find themselves in his way. These disparate characters of course collide; and I guarantee more than one of you lot will dig the outcome! Running a compact six minutes, Shovel is one hell of a fine fright flick…even if it is bite-sized. The pace is brisk, the story is on point, and the cinematography is slicker than shit through a ghoulish goose’s ass…all of which will doubtless please horror hounds (though the solid make-up and effects won’t hurt things either); and in my opinion ol’ Shovel (that’s the name of the aforementioned monster man as well as the film) has what it takes to be a full-on slasher heartthrob like his closest antecedent Leatherface (this yarn

New ‘Suspiria’ Featurette Teaches Us A Lesson In Terror

A brand new featurette has been unveiled to celebrate the arrival of Luca Gudagnino‘s wonderfully twisted re-imagining of Dario Argento’s 1977 cult classic Suspiria on Digital HD. The featurette not only teaches a lesson in dance but also a lesson in terror. In the film, a young American dancer Susie Bannion arrives in 1970s Berlin to audition for the world-renowned Helena Markos Dance Company, stunning the troupe’s famed choreographer, Madame Blanc, with her raw talent. When she vaults to the role of lead dancer, Olga, the previous lead, breaks down and accuses the company’s female directors of being witches. As rehearsals intensify for the final performance of the company’s signature piece, Susie and Madame Blanc grow strangely close, suggesting that Susie’s purpose in the company goes beyond merely dancing. Meanwhile, an inquisitive psychotherapist trying to uncover the company’s dark secrets enlists the help of another dancer, who probes the depths of the studio’s hidden underground chambers, where horrific discoveries await.”
