There have been several supernatural films released over the past year. Still, there is one headed your way that we already have a lot of faith in, Deliver Us, a new twist on the subgenre of religious horror. “When a nun in a remote convent claims immaculate conception, the Vatican sends a team of priests to investigate. Concerns grow that an ancient prophecy is about to be fulfilled: that a woman will give birth to twin boys – one the Messiah, the other the Anti-Christ – and the ensuing battle will determine the world’s fate.” From the directing duo of Cru Ennis (Shot Caller) and Lee Roy Kunz (A Beer Tale), Deliver Us stars Maria Vera Ratti, Lee Roy Kunz, Aleksander Mikoš McCarthy, Hans Robert Varts, and Alexander Siddig.

New Clip From 'The Blackening' Unleashed To Celebrate Home Release

New Clip From ‘The Blackening’ Unleashed To Celebrate Home Release

To celebrate The 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release of the genre-bending meta-horror, The Blackening, we have a new clip to share with you from the movie’s bonus features, which goes into detail about how the game in the movie was designed. “The Blackening follows a group of Black friends reunited for a Juneteenth weekend getaway only to find themselves trapped in a remote cabin with a masked killer who forces them to play a twisted board game by his rules, which they soon realize ain’t no motherf****** game. The Blackening skewers genre tropes and poses the sardonic question: If the entire cast of a horror movie is Black, who dies first?” Grace Byers, Jermaine Fowler, Melvin Gregg, X Mayo, Dewayne Perkins, Antoinette Robertson, Sinqua Walls, Jay Pharoah, and Yvonne Orji star in the film filled with laughs and scares. Directed by Tim Story (Ride Along, Think Like A Man, Barbershop), the screenplay was written by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip,

The Lost Tapes: New True Crime Docuseries Explores The Life Of Ed Gein, The Killer That Inspired ‘Psycho’

True crime fans are a special breed, much like horror fans. They are always looking for their next fix. MGM+ will release a new series to feed true crime fans’ hunger. They have just announced their new upcoming docuseries, “Psycho: The Lost Tapes of Ed Gein.” Directed and executive produced by James Buddy Day (Blumhouse’s Compendium of Horror, Fall River), the series follows the story of the horrifying grave robber and serial killer Ed Gein, otherwise known as “The Plainfield Ghoul” and “The Mad Butcher,” whose crimes inspired such iconic films as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. For years, filmmakers, journalists, and scholars have tried to unravel the mind of this notorious killer. With new reveals and never-before-heard recordings, viewers will be transported to late-1950s Middle America and submerged in Gein’s perverse mind. The series explores Gein’s upbringing and twisted relationship with his mother (which famously inspired Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho), his early grave robbing,

Scottish Novelist Turning Viral Tweet About "Midges" Into A Horror Movie

Scottish Novelist Turning Viral Tweet About “Midges” Into A Horror Movie

Earlier this month, a Scottish crime writer, Barry Hutchison, who pens his best-selling “DCI Logan” series under the pseudonym JD Kirk, went viral after jokingly tweeting about the horrors of Scottish midges and how he would love to make the notorious nuisances into a horror movie. Fans loved the idea and quickly began posting story ideas and sharing images. Midges, or midgies (mi-jees), as they’re known in Scotland, are a species of biting insect. Though small, midgies are regarded by locals as Scotland’s most fearsome creature. Kirk was inspired and the reactions to the internet joke and has since begun working on a script. Pre-production is quickly picking up steam with Alessio Avezzano (Islanders) signing on to direct, with Mick Betancourt (“The Purge,” Law & Order: SVU) producing. “What started as an inside joke on Twitter has grown legs, and wings to boot, in a matter of weeks. We’ve gone from a title and a few concept images to a

Movie Review: Does 'The Haunting Of The Queen Mary' Sink or Swim?

Movie Review: Does ‘The Haunting Of The Queen Mary’ Sink or Swim?

The Haunting of the Queen Mary is out now in theaters. I watched it, and I have some thoughts. This horror, directed by Gary Shore (Dracula Untold), explores the mysterious and violent events surrounding one family’s voyage on Halloween night in1938 with their story interwoven with the destiny of another family onboard the infamous ocean liner in the present day. The film also integrates the characters of the ship’s crew, both past and present, giving us three stories to follow. The film required a large cast of characters, and that led to a flaw. We didn’t get to know a lot of the characters intimately, leaving many feeling a bit hollow. The main characters played by Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness, Belgravia), Joel Fry (Cruella, Game of Thrones), and Nell Hudson (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) had their flaws as well. Most of the characters aren’t very likable. They often lack the emotion the story should have required, especially the mother. She’s
