ZomCom ‘As We Know It’ Sinks Its Teeth Into Digital Today

Sink your teeth into the new film As We Know It, which combines elements of romance, friendship, and the absurdity of survival, a rollercoaster of laughs and unexpected twists.

Multiple Stars Are Returning For 'The Black Phone 2'

Multiple Stars Are Returning For ‘The Black Phone 2’

Earlier this year, we reported that Scott Derrickson’s The Black Phone would get a sequel. Today, Deadline reports that Ethan Hawke will reprise his role as “The Grabber.” Hawke is not the only cast member returning; Mason Thames (How to Train Your Dragon, Incoming), Madeleine McGraw (Secrets of Sulphur Springs), Jeremy Davies (“Justified”), and Miguel Mora are also set to return for the sequel, which Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill will be back to produce. There’s no word yet if Derrickson will direct the sequel. The first film was based on Joe Hill’s short story and centers on Finney (Thames), a shy but clever 13-year-old boy who is abducted by a sadistic killer (Hawke) and finds himself trapped in a soundproof basement where his screams can’t be heard. The casting news isn’t the only news that has recently surfaced about the movie. The Black Phone 2 already has a premiere date. Blumhouse and Universal are set to release it

A Countdown of the Most Unforgettable Special Effects in Horror Movies

A Countdown of the Most Unforgettable Special Effects in Horror Movies

Special effects play a crucial role in making horror movies as compelling as possible. They can make something appear something they are not, and in the case of this particular genre, make things terrifying or disturbing. Artists who work in a film sets visual and special effects departments have a tireless job, often involving long hours and little thanks outside of the production studio. Those who apply special effects to the actors directly need to be gifted artistically, while those who use software to generate effects will need to be equally talented technically. Nonetheless, it requires a team of talented people to come together to be able to reach the outcome that is desired. Horror-themed films can present numerous challenges. Still, they can provide various opportunities, too. They can allow users of special effects to do the unexpected and things not done before, as their main aim is to scare and disturb their audiences. While viewers will know things are
