And this is a story about a woman who manages to overcome her own fears, and leave them behind her.” In the film, listed as a psychological suspense thriller, an agoraphobic child psychologist befriends a neighbor across the street, only to see her own

The trend of remakes and reboots continues. Here are some of the remakes headed your way in 2021. Candyman Remake/Sequel Candyman returns to the neighborhood where the legend began, where Cabrini-Green housing projects once stood.

The movie starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (US, Aquaman), Tony Todd (Candyman), Teyonah Parris, Colman Domingo, and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett is produced by horror heavy hitter Jordan Peel who co-wrote the script along with Win Rosenfield. Candyman is set to make his return on August 27, 2021. The Children of the Corn In the new adaptation of the Stephen King story, in a quiet town in Nebraska, a demon walks behind the rows. The children form a cult and the adults of the town come to a bloody end. The new movie is described as a revenge tale in which

Netflix has released several series this year including “The Haunting of Bly Manor,” which didn’t quite live up to its predecessor. But if you are looking for a horror series on the streaming giant there is one, in particular, I highly recommend, “Sweet Home.” While the title “Sweet Home” may not sound like the name of a horror series I promise you that it is in every sense of the word. This South Korean show is the most insane thing I’ve watched in a long time. And I mean that as a compliment. Directed by Lee EungBok, the series is actually an adaptation of the webtoon by the same name. In the series, Hyunsoo, a loner high school student who lost his entire family in a terrible accident, moves to an old apartment complex called Green Home. Not long after, all hell breaks loose as some people begin to turn into monsters throughout the city. The residents of Green Home

We are getting an adaptation of Todd Grimson’s horror novel “Brand New Cherry Flavor” as series from Netflix. “Brand New Cherry Flavor” centers on Lisa Nova (Salazar), an aspiring film director in the sun-drenched but seamy world of 1990 Los Angeles who embarks on a mind-altering journey — from the streets of Beverly Hills to the forests of Brazil — to seek supernatural revenge. Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel) will lead the cast that also includes Catherine Keener (Get Out), Eric Lange (Escape at Dannemora), Jeff Ward (“Agents of Shield”), Hannah Levien (The Magicians, Siren), Manny Jacinto (“The Good Place”), Leland Orser (I Am The Night, Berlin Station), and Patrick Fischler (The Right Stuff, Defending Jacob) Deadline reports.

We’ve got a treat for our true crime fans. Netflix has just unleashed the new trailer for the limited serial killer docuseries “Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer” that delves into the murders committed by Richard Ramirez. The series tells the spellbinding true story of how one of the most notorious serial killers in American history was hunted down and brought to justice. In the sweltering summer of 1985, a record-breaking heatwave hit Los Angeles, along with a series of murders and sexual assaults that at first seemed disconnected. The victims were men, women, and children ranging in ages from six to 82, no one was safe. They came from different neighborhoods, racial backgrounds, and socioeconomic levels. Never before in criminal history had a single killer been responsible for such a grisly array of crimes. Racing against the clock to stop this nocturnal monster was a young detective named Gil Carrillo from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department
