One of the most iconic (and still entertaining) disaster movies ever made is Twister – I mean, they’ve got flying cows, for god’s sake. After nearly thirty years, 26 to be exact, it’s getting a sequel, Twisters. The script is written by Mark L. Smith, the writer behind The Revenant. Oscar nominee Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) will be in the director’s chair. Frank Marshall (Raiders of the Lost Ark) is producing the movie. In the original, storm chasers Bill (Bill Paxton) and Jo (Helen Hunt) and their team set out to put their weather alert system, nicknamed “Dorthy,” in the destructive path of tornadoes so they might learn the secrets of tornadoes in order to create a better and faster warning system that would save lives. Twisters is predicted to touch down in theaters on July 19, 2024. Here’s a look back at the original movie’s trailer.

Outstanding horror and horror-adjacent movies were in strong supply at film festivals this year, and whittling down my “best of 2022” list was no easy feat. Here are the selections on which I decided. Some are now available through digital, on-demand, subscription services, and physical media, while others are still making the rounds on the fest circuit. (1) Evil Eye (A Night of Horror) Awash in the atmosphere, visually beautiful, and boasting terrific performances and superb set design, Mexican chiller Evil Eye — from one of my favorite directors, Isaac Ezban — is a dark fairy tale/folk horror outing that is woven together masterfully in its telling of a teen girl’s suspicions that her grandmother may be a witch. (2) Skinamarink (Fantasia) This goosebumps-inducing, lo-fi slice of fear-fare cinema became an instant year-end best candidate when I saw it for its Fantasia run in the summer. It induces the feeling of fright we had as children, which is no small

One of my favorite aspects of Christmas is the holiday horror films. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of Violent Night, and yesterday, Universal gifted viewers with the surprise release of it On Demand (it’s still in theaters). I slipped on my PJs, popped a bag of popcorn, snuggled up with my dogs (Rosie and Freyja), and hit play. In the movie, “When a team of mercenaries breaks into a wealthy family compound on Christmas Eve, taking everyone inside hostage, the team isn’t prepared for a surprise combatant: Santa Claus (David Harbour, Black Widow, “Stranger Things”) is on the grounds, and he’s about to show why this Nick is no saint.” David Harbour has proved his acting talent in “Stranger Things,” so I had high expectations that he’d nail a badass Sants, and I was not disappointed. Between his battles with the bad guys, we see the tender side of old Saint Nick when he comes in contact with a
