Move over Sharknado, there’s a new shark movie on the loose, Bad CGI Sharks. SRS Cinema, who brought you last year’s viral “House Shark” feature film, has just acquired the rights to the next man-eating favorite, Bad CGI Sharks. In the trailer, we see sharks on the loose even when there’s no water in sight. “Two estranged brothers are brought back together when a script they’re writing comes to life and sends a poorly rendered digital shark to hunt them down in this meta take on the sharksploitation genre.” From MaJaMa productions, “Bad CGI Sharks” will first roll out on a limited edition physical media over the summer, then will be unleashed worldwide in early 2020. The movie was written, directed and stars the trio of Matteo Molinari and brothers Jason Ellsworth and Matthew Ellsworth. Bad CGI Sharks more than lives up to its title thanks to side-splitting humor, plenty of gore and great action. For more info on the

John Krasinski is back in the director’s chair for his sequel to 2018’s hit A Quiet Place. Originally set to open in theaters May 15, 2020, the film’s release has now been moved up by two months. Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe are all returning to reprise their roles and will be joined by 28 Days Later actor Cillian Murphy. During a recent talk with Business Insider, Krasinski teased the upcoming second installment, which he describes as a “continuation.” I don’t even see it as a sequel,” Krasinski told the site. “Emily [Blunt] actually blew my mind by categorizing it the correct way after I pitched it to her. She said, ‘This isn’t a sequel at all — this is the second book in a series of books. It’s a widening of a world.’ And I thought that’s the best way to look at it. It doesn’t feel like a sequel — it’s a continuation of living in

Earlier this year we reported that Universal is planning “re-imagining” 1996’s thriller Fear. We finally have an update. Today, Deadline reported that Amandla Stenberg (The Hate U Give) is set to star. Unlike in the original film that starred Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon, it’s said that this time the film will be from a female perspective. In the original, “Nicole (Witherspoon) met David (Wahlberg); handsome, charming, affectionate, he was everything. It seemed perfect, but soon she sees that David has a darker side. And his adoration turns to obsession, their dream into a nightmare, and her love into fear.” Straight Outta Compton‘s Jonathan Herman will pen the script. Brian Grazer will return to produce for Imagine Entertainment.

Today I sat down to watch Climax, a film from Argentinian director Gaspar Noé who was also behind the films Enter the Void and I Stand Alone. The film opens to a young woman covered in blood, running across the snow. I came to learn later on in the film that the woman was fleeing from a dance school where a party had gone terribly wrong. At the party, someone has spiked the punch with a heavy dose of LSD and the dancers go from happy to a drug-filled orgy that causes utter chaos and murder. The way the film was shot and presented is a Suspira-like vision in neon colors. Between the colors, chaos, and strange angles, the film will leave your head spinning. If Noé was aiming to make you feel like you are drugged, he accomplished it. When the credits rolled I felt like I had just stepped off of a tilt-a-whirl. By god, the cast was

In Tonopah, Nevada sits a hotel labeled the “Scariest motel in America”, you know it as the Clown Motel. Nicknamed by Roadtrippers, the clown-themed motel (*shudders) is pure nightmare fuel, it is also rumored to be haunted (as if the place wasn’t scary enough already). Now, the creepy as s*it Clown Motel has inspired a horror film. Guess where the movie is being filmed. You guessed it, the Clown Motel. Oh, and the title of the film, Clown Hotel. The film stars two genre icons, Tony Moran who starred as the unmasked Michael Myers in the original Halloween, Ari Lehman who played young Jason Vorhees in 1980’s Friday the 13th, and Pirates of the Caribbean’s Martin Klebba. Directed by Joseph Kelly, the film “follows a group of ghost hunters returning home from Las Vegas. When they arrive at the Clown Motel, they’re left to discover if it is really abandoned and haunted by the souls of the clowns that once
