New ‘A Plague Tale’ Trailer Focuses On Human Foes
With its May 14th release approaching, Asobo Studios and Focus Home Interactive put up a new trailer that focuses on the human foes in A Plague Tale: Innocence. The trailer titled “Monsters” shows that the plague rats are only a fraction of what our heroes need to worry about, while the rats are driven by nature and instinct, humans are far scarier as they’re driven by something else. The game’s main characters, Amicia and Hugo are orphaned while the plague tears through France and their only salvation is to leave but not just because of the illness and the rats, but because of the inquisition that seeks out Hugo.

DVD Review: Virus of the Dead (2018)
If there’s two things that cats what love the horror biz dig it’s arcane anthologies and zombies…so it stands to reason that many of you boils n’ ghouls would be curious to check out a flick that combines those things right? Well, you’re in luck because the flick I’m slapping my putrid peepers on today, Virus of the Dead, is an anthology that weaves together multiple (and I mean multiple) tiny terror tales together to present various views of a world balls deep in the middle of a zombie holocaust! Running through the film is a constant, that folks will simply not give up their vain phone usage and social media no matter how many frothing gut-munchers are at the door. It’s a good carry through, and sadly realistic…but whateves; it gives us a fly on the wall view of all that shamblin’ dead chaos that unspools for nearly 2 hours over fifteen sinister segments. Speaking of those segments they

We’re taking the things that worked well in Season 1 and taking them up a level.” He continued, “We’re seeing

‘Sonic’ To Be Redesigned Says Director
First, it was the “creepy legs” on the poster, then it was the “creepy teeth” in the trailer, fans did not hold back how much they hated the look of the iconic video game character Sonic in the upcoming live-action film, Sonic the Hedgehog. The film will follow the iconic character’s misadventures on Earth along with a human sidekick. The “Sonic” games are iconic to many gamers and fans of SEGA. The blue caricature of famed spiky animal species collects rings and frees animals that were turned into robots all while moving at great speed. The game spawned an animated TV series as well as some more up to date games that take place in the Sonic universe. The live-action film came under fire immediately after the teaser poster was released showing a silhouette of Sonic in an “on your mark!” pose with his iconic red shoes visible. Immediately after the release of the poster, fans cringed at the “human-like”

Movie Review: Charlie Says
Let’s face it, there have been a lot of films based on real serial killers over the past couple of years. On killer seems to be more popular than others, Charles Manson. Maybe it’s because his and his “family’s” is the most intriguing case. Director Mary Harron set out to tell the Manson Family’s tale from a unique angle in Charlie Says. The film centers on Leslie Van Houten (Hannah Murray) who joins the Manson Family, a path that turns her from an innocent girl into a convicted killer. Charles Manson (Matt Smith) sends her to commit the LaBianca murders. Van Houten, Susan Atkins (Marianne Redón), and Patricia Krenwinkel (Sosie Bacon). We watch as Leslie arrives at the Manson settlement. We get glimpses of her story first as she meets the Family, then in the form of flashbacks as the three women from the Manson Family sit in their cells or while talking about the events with Karlene Faith, a

Movie Review: Dark Sister (2018)
Cassie (Amanda Woodhams) is an artist havin’ a rough go of things. You see, our heroine is plagued with dreams of the murder biz, which she works through with the help of her shrink (Nicola Bartlett) and by creating violent tableaus on her canvas. Of course this being a fright flick and all, those violent visions end up spilling over into Cassie’s wakey-wakey world and those close to her start going tits up, forcing C-dawg to confront her troubled past and use her visions to try and stop the killer before they cause any more horror! Simply put, Writer/Director Sam Barrett (along with Co-Writer Robbie Studsor) has created one of the best giallos to not come from the golden age of the genre…or even Italy (more on that in a tick).! Comprised of a solid murder mystery, fever-dream logic and imagery (appropriate given the emphasis on nightmares in the narrative), absolutely gorgeous lighting (shout out to Cinematographer/Editor Ivan Davidov for
