The First IT: Chapter Two Trailer Is Here And It’s Bloody Awesome!

The first trailer for IT: Chapter Two is here and it’s bloody awesome! It reveals that not only has the Losers Club reunited as adults but that Pennywise is on the loose and still killing. Director Andy Muschietti has teased the It: Chapter Two is going to be bigger and bloodier than the first installment. A comment from actress Jessica Chastain on “The Tonight Show” seems to back that up. While she didn’t share too many details she did tease one graphic scene (watch below). In the movie there’s a scene…someone said on set that it’s the most blood that’s ever been in a horror film. In a scene,” Chastain told host Jimmy Fallon. She continued, “The next day I was pulling blood out of my eyeballs. It’s scary.” Written by Gary Dauberman, the film stars Jessica Chastain as Beverly Marsh, Bill Hader as Richie, James McAvoy as Bill, James Ransone as Eddie, Andy Bean as Stanley, Isaiah Mustafa as

Manson Movie ‘Charlie Says’ Coming To Theaters And VOD

Ahead of the 50th anniversary of the Manson Family Murders this August, director Mary Harron explores the family and Charles Manson’s hold over the women who committed those terrible killings in the film Charlie Says. Years after the shocking murders that made the name Charles Manson synonymous with pure evil, the three women who killed for him—Leslie Van Houten (Hannah Murray), Patricia Krenwinkel (Sosie Bacon), and Susan Atkins (Marianne Rendón)—remain under the spell of the infamous cult leader (Matt Smith). Confined to an isolated cellblock in a California penitentiary, the trio seems destined to live out the rest of their lives under the delusion that their crimes were part of a cosmic plan—until empathetic graduate student Karlene Faith (Merritt Wever) is enlisted to rehabilitate them.

New Extended Clip From ‘Brightburn’ Is A Sight For Sore Eyes

We’ve got a new extended clip from James Gunn‘s horror meets superhero movie, Brightburn. And holy hell! It’s intense!

Dunn) to use his powers for good, but an evil begins to grow within him. Written by James Gunn and Mark Gunn, Brightburn takes over theaters on May 24, 2019, from Sony Pictures.
