Movie Review: The Shed (2019)

What do you get when you mix bullies and bloodthirsty vampires? You get Frank Sabatella’s indie horror film The Shed, from the producer of the Saw franchise. The film centers a teen named Stanley (Jay Jay Warren) whose back story is a heartbreaking one. Things go from good to bad to dreadful quick in the film when his parents die. Being a victim of abuse and bullying at both his new home and at school really makes you feel for the kid. When he finds something inhuman and hungry hiding in his shed all hell breaks loose. But Stanely’s not giving up on being a decent person without a fight. Besides being entertaining, the movie has a strong anti-bully message. Let’s be honest, bullies, both in real life and online are a real problem. Bullying can really damage a person, sometimes for life. So, repeat after me, don’t be a dick. Jay Jay Warren really brings his character to life.

Three Main Stars Returning For Scream 5

Horror fans will be excited to learn that apparently a new Scream film is currently in development at Spyglass. It’s been nearly a decade since the Scream 4 was released. While there’s no word on exactly what the film be, reportedly, Spyglass will be bringing back the three main cast members of the franchise, Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette. While it hasn’t been confirmed, it does give hope to fans that it will be a real sequel and not a reboot that no one wants to see. This will be the first film of the franchise not directed by Wes Craven. As of right now, Kevin Williamson who wrote most of the franchise is not returning either. Hopefully, we’ll learn more soon. In the meantime, we’ll keep our fingers crossed that the new film is a true sequel with the original cast. In the meantime, fans can see Ghostface in action in the fourth season of the “Scream”
