New images from M. Night Shyamalan‘s Glass, the sequel to both Unbreakable and Split, have arrived via EW. In the first image, we see David Dunn (Bruce Willis), Endell Crumb (James McAvoy), and Elijah Price aka Mr. Glass (Samuel L. Jackson) sitting together in an asylum. Split and Unbreakable we tied together in the last moments of Split when Bruce Willis’ character makes a cameo and makes a reference to Mr. Glass. Split stars James McAvoy and Anya Taylor-Joy who will also be returning for Glass. McAvoy plays a young man who has kidnapped Joy’s character. What makes his character so interesting is that he hosts dozens of personalities. “American Horror Story” actress Sarah Paulson also stars. Spencer Treat Clark and Luke Kirby co-star.

For a moment we were kind of excited about the upcoming Child’s Play reboot from MGM, that is until we learned just how different the movie will be from what we know and love about the franchise, Brad Dourif, the longtime voice of Chucky, won’t be involved. That’s right, Chucky will be getting a new voice. The changes don’t stop there, allegedly, Chucky will no longer be a serial killer possessed doll, instead, he will be an out of control A.I., according to Bloody Disgusting. Lars Klevberg (Polaroid) has been tapped to direct the reboot based on the script penned by Kung Fury writer Burton Smith. While horror fans are pretty open-minded, I don’t think they’re that open minded. I’ll be honest, the movie might be more successful if they were to rename the bot and break ties to the franchise altogether. Luckily, we will see Universal continue the original franchise. There is currently a “Child’s Play” series in pre-production

There are a lot of film festivals taking place this summer but one of our favorites is the Fantasia Film Festival (July 12th to August 1st). Every year the number of amazing films making their world premiere grows. While there are a lot of fantastic films this year, we’ve picked six genre films that we think you really need to see. The Man Who Killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot Directed and written by Robert D. Krzykowski, the film stars Sam Elliot as Calvin Barr, a legendary World War II veteran who many years ago assassinated Adolf Hitler – an incredible secret that he’s frustratingly unable to share with the world. One day, just as he’s coming to terms with rounding out his life, Calvin gets a visit from the FBI and Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They need him to take out Bigfoot.

Following this week’s arrival of award-winning director Richard Rowntree‘s dark film Dogged, the film’s killer soundtrack release has just been announced. ScreamWorks Records once again teams up with The Drift composer James Griffiths to present his latest finely tuned chiller score on the Screamworks label. Directed by Richard Rowntree based on his 2015 short film, Dogged is a “horror that deals with the sins of the past and their effects on the present. When Sam returns home to the tidal island where he grew up to attend a funeral of a young girl, he soon realizes that the community he had once left has changed considerably. He soon uncovers disturbing secrets about his former home and the seedy underbelly of the small community harbors more than just a few secrets.” My score for Dogged is very much a homage to the sinister detail that the movie itself presents” reveals composer James Griffiths about his contributions to the film. “The Folk
