Since its premiere in 2007, fans have been begging for a sequel to writer-director Michael Dougherty‘s Halloween horror anthology Trick ‘r Treat. For years, there have been promises of its delivery. But where does it actually stand? Recently, during a talk with Collider, Dougherty gave an update about the long-awaited sequel and its status. And it’s great news!

Movie Review: The Nun II (2023)

Movie Review: The Nun II (2023)

The Nun II, the follow-up to 2018’s original, is now streaming, so of course, I had to check it out. First, let me say, unlike most critics, I actually liked the original. I thought it was a great addition to The Conjuring universe, and I must not be alone because it is the highest-grossing installment of the entire franchise. So, the question is, is The Nun II worth the hype? Let me answer that. The Nun II picks up four years after the events at Covent in Romania. Once again, sister Irene is called upon to face Velek, the demon nun, when a series of strange suicides of the clergy begin to happen. All the deaths have two in common: Frenchie has worked or visited the churches, and they are all connected to one family. Sister Irene and her new assistant, a young nun, arrive at a boarding school to find Frenchie possessed by the evil entity. They must now

New Clips Tease The Horrors Of The Animal Rights Thriller 'Liberty'

Animal Rights Horror-Thriller ‘Liberty’ Acquired By Gravitas Ventures

Gravitas Ventures has just announced that it has acquired the North American rights to the award-winning animal rights horror-thriller Liberty, written and directed by filmmaker Philippe De Witte. In Liberty, an idealistic park guide holds six strangers captive, treating them like caged animals, to deliver his chilling message of freedom to the world.
