A Viral Challenge Goes Terribly Wrong In Shudder's 'The Elevator Game' (Trailer)

A Viral Challenge Goes Terribly Wrong In Shudder’s ‘The Elevator Game’ (Trailer)

The trailer has arrived for the Shudder Original horror Elevator Game from director Rebekah McKendry. “Based on the online phenomenon of the same name, Elevator Game follows socially awkward teenager Ryan, who ingratiates himself into a group of recent high school graduates that run an online web series debunking urban legends. But Ryan has a secret: His sister disappeared months earlier, and he believes they – and a dangerous online challenge called ‘The Elevator Game’ – were responsible. To play the game, you must ride the elevator in a specific sequence, invoking a supernatural creature called ‘The 5th Floor Woman’. In an attempt to gain more information as to the whereabouts of his sister, Ryan persuades the group to play the game once more and risk unleashing the most fearsome consequences imaginable.” Starring Gino Anania, Verity Marks, Alec Carlos, Madison MacIsaac, Liam Stewart-Kanigan, Nazariy Demkowicz, and Megan Best, and written by Travis Seppala, the movie is produced by Ed Elbert,

Dark Castle Developing A "13 Ghosts" Series

Dark Castle Developing A “13 Ghosts” Series

For years, fans have been begging for a series adaptation of the horror film 13 Ghosts. Finally, it appears that their prayers may finally be answered. Dread Central is reporting that Patrick Mediate (Primordial Pictures) and “Fear the Walking Dead’s” SFX Supervisor Aaron McLane have announced their partnership with Dark Castle Entertainment to develop and pitch the series to Sony Pictures Television. Dread Central shared some images from the pitch. This would not be Dark Castle’s first experience with 13 Ghosts. Back in 2001, Steve Beck and Dark Castle teamed up for the movie that starred Tony Shalhoub and Scream‘s Matthew Lillard. Of course, that movie was a more terrifying reimaging of the 1960 classic that was directed by William Castle. The anthology series featuring different directs per episode will reportedly cover one ghost per episode. If the series stays true to the 2001 film, it will feature the thirteen ghosts of the Black Zodiac, The Angry Princess, The First

Movie Review: The Abomination (1986) - Visual Vengeance Blu-ray

Movie Review: The Abomination (1986) – Visual Vengeance Blu-ray

Why does The Abomination begin with a sizzle reel of the best bits of what’s about to come in the following 90 minutes? Fucked if I know presently, but it does… but they try and claim it’s a nightmare our hero Cody (Scott Davis) is experiencing… Following that we dive into the story proper… hahaha, just kidding… this time it’s another non sequitur (a lil’ stalk n’ slay number here featuring some of the footage we just experienced) as Cody details his grizzly actions to his doctor while quoting the bible and claiming to be controlled by a monster he dubs “The Abomination”. Okay, now we start the story, as we learn Cody’s ailing, televangelist-addicted mother, Sarah (Jude Johnson) is suffering from a nasty lil’ tumor… which she barfs up. Well, that “tumor” goes right ahead and crawls inside of our hero… which makes his workday and non-stop country-fried fuckin’ around come to a full, and phlegmy, stop. So after

Movie Review: Repligator (1998) - Visual Vengeance Blu-ray

Movie Review: Repligator (1998) – Visual Vengeance Blu-ray

In a secret Government lab, Dr. Goodbody (legendary Scream Queen Brinke Stevens) conducts mind reading experiments that result in all manner of horny goings-on (the best kind, if we are being honest) before we cut to an opening title sequence highlighting some whimsical-ass music accompanied by PS1-level graphics… Thus begins Bret McCormick’s 1998 sci-fi farce Repligator, the only way it could… and will again! Following that we travel through more Government labs where all-manner of high-tech gadgets are being worked on involving everything from x-ray glasses to brain-washing to teleportation… and about that last bit; any that goes through the device comes through as an incredibly beautiful, totally horny (there’s that word again), woman (unless they are already an “ugly” woman… then they come out like the nerdy chick that gets “prom hot” in an 80’s teen comedy)!! Speaking of one of those newly-minted women, well… she ends up having sex after which she becomes a half-alligator/half-human hybrid, and her

Spoiler Free Movie Review: The Last Voyage Of The Demeter

The Last Voyage of the Demeter, inspired by a single chilling chapter, “The Captain’s Log,” from Bram Stoker’s classic novel Dracula, opens in theaters today. Is it worth all the hype? I can answer that. Just a heads up, unlike the majority of our reviews, this one does feature mild spoilers. Directed by André Øvredal, the film tells the terrifying story of the merchant ship Demeter, which was chartered to carry private cargo—fifty unmarked wooden crates—from Carpathia to London, with the crew unaware of the horrors they contain. The impressive cast for the film includes Corey Hawkins (In the Heights, Straight Outta Compton) as Clemens, a doctor who joins the Demeter crew. Hawkins gives a fantastic performance, bringing empathy and wonder to the film. Aisling Franciosi (Game of Thrones, The Nightingale) plays Anna, a stowaway. Once her reality is revealed, your heart breaks for her, but at the same time, she emotes a strength like no one else aboard. Javier
