The Child’s Play franchise has spanned thirty years and seven films, now it’s headed to TV. Back in February, we reported that the franchise is getting its own series. Creator Don Mancini and David Kirschner have been developing the series and over Twitter today, Mancini teased the show with a GIF. pic.twitter.com/5Xqve1w88H — Don Mancini (@RealDonMancini) June 22, 2018 While Mancini didn’t reveal any new details, we do that is will pick up where left off and will have a tone that is “dark and disturbing.” It will not be a reboot, simply a continuation of Chucky’s story. “We plan to use Child’s Play in the title,” Mancini has stated. “We want to definitely signal that we are going dark, darker than ever before. It’s going to be very creepy.” We also know that actor Brad Dourif, the longtime voice of our favorite killer doll, will return for the series, which will feature 8 hour-long episodes. There is no word

Back in 1999, The Blair Witch Project debuted and went on to gross nearly 250 million dollars worldwide after being made on a meager $60,000 budget. Now, almost 20 years later, writer, actor, director, producer and self-proclaimed “hitmaker” Jacob Lewis has teamed up with Terror Films to deliver the “laziest excuse for a found footage film you will ever bear witness to”, The Claire Wizard Thesis. The brainchild of Australian actor and writer Ishak Issa, the horror comedy, his feature debut, centers on “a group of actors and crew into the Australian outback, led by aspiring filmmaker and ego-maniac Jacob Lewis.” “Lewis’ plan is to make his own version of the 1999 hit, with dreams of becoming the next big Hollywood director. There is only one problem – he has no idea what he’s doing and neither does any of the cast or crew.” Alex Dona stars as the pompous Jacob along with James Mitry as Jacob’s pissed off brother.

Writer Matt Shaw is making his directorial debut with Monster, based on the bestselling book by the same name. The book, which topped Amazon’s horror charts, is one of 200 titles penned by Shaw. Today we have the film’s first poster. Being described as a cross between “The Texas Chainsaw and NaturalBorn Killers”, Monster stars Tracy Shaw (Coronation Street), Rod Glenn (American Assassins), Danielle Harold (EastEnders and Fanged Up), and Laura Ellen Wilson. In Monster, “Emily is tired of her life. In a dead-end job that she hates and an employer who takes advantage of her, she dreams of a life away from the daily grind. Her life will take an unexpected turn, however when she is snatched from work and bundled into a van. She awakes later in the isolated Remington home, a place of death and violence where depravity and horror are the norm. Led by the fearsome Richard, the undisputed head of the household, Emily discovers that

The Terminator franchise has spanned three decades, with the latest film, directed by Tim Miller, currently filming. The first images have surfaced on Instagram, giving us our first look at Linda Hamilton as Sarah Conner and she is as badass as she’s always been. https://www.instagram.com/p/BkSUvDxHaOo/?taken-by=cinemediapage The images also include a look at Mackenzie Davis, who has a big part in the film that will ignore its predecessors T2, Terminator 3, and Terminator: Genisys producer James Cameron has stated. This is a continuation of the story from Terminator 1 and Terminator 2. And we’re pretending the other films were a bad dream. Or an alternate timeline, which is permissible in our multiverse. This was really driven more by [Tim] than anybody, surprisingly, because I came in pretty agnostic about where we took it. The only thing I insisted on was that we somehow revamp it and reinvent it for the 21st century.” Arnold Schwarzenegger will also be returning for the film.

Kathleen (Lili Taylor), a philosophy student livin’ in the concrete jungle of 1990’s Manhattan, is dragged into an alleyway one night by Casanova (Annabella Sciorra) and given a little love nibble…you know, the kind usually reserved for rabid wolves and the like. Of course the bite makes her sick to her shit, and it doesn’t take much to assume she’s turning into one of Dracula’s daughters (aversion to sunlight, thirst for human blood, et.al.). As Kathleen falls further into her new role as creature of the night and begins injecting blood from her victims directly into her veins before going the more toothy avenue. Will she be able to find herself as her being becomes drenched in blood? Filmed in stark black and white, which adds an air of cold grittiness (especially when photographs of human atrocity are inserted) and at times beautiful chiaroscuro (as echoed by the classical paintings on display), The Addiction is a visually arresting film to
