Eli Roth Producing Slasher ’10-31′ He Calls “One of the scariest premises I have read in years.”
Eli Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel, The Green Inferno) has signed on to produce the upcoming slasher 10-31 for Orion, which he calls “One of the scariest premises I have read in years.” Very rarely do you get a script that grabs you by the throat, holds you until the last page, and gives you nightmares after,” Roth said about the film’s script written by Ian Shorr and Peter Gamble, based on a story by Kathy Charles. Variety reports that “the script is about a young woman who takes her niece and nephew trick-or-treating and discovers a note inside a candy wrapper that says there’s a killer loose on her block.” Roth also said that “I don’t want to reveal too much, but this is one of the best, scariest premises for a horror movie that I have read in years.” Roth will produce alongside Roger Birnbaum’s Arts District Entertainment and John Zaozirny’s Bellevue Productions. Art District’s Michael Desman will serve

That brings us to the subject of this here revoltin’ review; Doom Patrol, a great slice of wacky weirdness in it’s four-color iteration, but not the first choice one may have for live-action adaptation. Turns out it should have been… The basic storyline for this super show goes as follows: The Doom Patrol; who’s ranks include Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero), a dominant personality of a woman who has been traumatized, Rita Farr (April Bowlby) known as Elasti-Girl who is stretching herself thin trying not to become a permanent bowl of Jell-O,

DVD Review: Scooby-Doo: Return to Zombie Island (2019)
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this Blog Post. The opinions I share on my Own. When Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island hit in 1998 it was like breathe of fresh air in the fearsome franchise; the monsters were real, the tone was darker than before, and the story featuring a disbanded Mystery Inc. (comprised of Fred Jones, Daphne Blake, Shaggy Rogers, Velma Dinkley, and that lovable mutt Scooby-Doo) coming back together for one last hurrah and falling afoul of the undead and werecats on Moonscar Island was cool AF. So how will the sequel; Scooby-Doo: Return to Zombie Island measure up? Let’s begin with the ol’ sinister synopsis, shall we? As before, our teenage sleuths and their dog have cooled their jets and have managed to stay out of terror trouble for a damn sight (like at least a few months or more). Of course that is short lived as

Cut to Tess Barryman (Tara Reid) auctioning off said collection which showcases works featuring that ol’ Greatest Hits collection of bad behavior; The Seven Deadly Sins.
