When you hear of a family adopting an orphaned child, you think of a happy ending. That’s not the case in the 2009 horror Orphan. After ten years, we are getting its prequel, titled Esther. Deadline is reporting that The Boy‘s William Brent Bell is directing the film about the adopted girl, played by Isabelle Fuhrman, that we met in Orphan. The girl is, in reality, a 33-year-old woman named Leena Klammer who has a rare hormonal disorder called Hypopituitarism that has stunted her growth. She’s spent much of her life pretending to be a kid and bouncing from home to home. When she’s adopted by Kate (Vera Farmiga) and John (Peter Sarsgaard) in the creepy 2009 film, we discover that she is in fact a sociopathic killer. In the prequel, “Lena Klammer orchestrates a brilliant escape from a Russian psychiatric facility and travels to America by impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy family. But Lena’s new life as

During the outbreak of the bubonic plague in England, it was common to see mass graves in and around cities due to dense population, but the recent discovery uncovered in a rural part of the country might change the picture of how the plague affected communities. In Lincolnshire, a mass grave of 48 people (21 of them children) was discovered. The site of the grave is located at Thornton Abby where a hospital was attached to the Abby at the time of the plague. The bodies were buried days apart from each other and were carefully placed in the graves after the bodies were wrapped. The ages of the victims range from a year old to 45 years, researchers also believe that it’s possible that plague victims younger than 12 months were buried at the site as well but being so young there are rarely any skeletal remains. DNA extracted from the teeth of some of the remains contained DNA

Lionsgate announced last year that they are co-producing the supernatural thriller The Devil’s Light. James Hawes (“Penny Dreadful”) was in the director’s chair but that has now changed. The Last Exorcism’s Daniel Stamm is now listed as director, Bloody-Disgusting reports. Written by Robert Zappia (Halloween H2O), “The Devil’s Light tells the story of Sister Ann, a restless 25-year-old, who devoutly believes that performing exorcisms is her calling. But she is at odds with the institution’s traditions: sisters are not allowed to perform exorcisms, only priests. With the support of a mentor, a professor who senses her special gift, she is allowed to observe actual training sessions. Her desire to prove herself takes a personal turn when she meets one of the school’s most disturbed patients.

Previously I wrote about THQ Nordic announcing the possibility of remaking the legendary action RPG game Gothic. Along with the news they released a playable teaser on STEAM in which afterward 180,000 players answered survey questions and the results were as THQ Nordic put it, “unambiguous”, 94.8% of fans loved what they saw and support the idea of a remake. Today THQ Nordic announced that the Gothic remake will be going into production! THQ Nordic will be establishing a new studio in Barcelona, Spain that will take on the task of creating the remake using player feedback. One big demand by players is a grittier and less colorful world in the final game than what was seen in the playable teaser. The Gothic remake will not be coming anytime soon but will be developed for PC and next-gen consoles.
