Clive Barker is as popular as ever. Not only is there a “Books of Blood” series in the works from director Josh Stolberg (Jigsaw), but there is also a “Nightbreed” series adaptation on its way. Barker recently gave an update on “Nightbreed” during a talk with the official Clive Barker website and revealed that a writer, director, and producers are already on board.

“Stan Against Evil” Gets The Ax
We have terrible news. IFC has canceled one of their best series, the horror-comedy “Stan Against Evil“, after just three seasons. The series’ creator Dana Gould made the announcement during his recent podcast The Dana Gould Hour. While the show’s cancelation has officially been confirmed, there is still hope according to Gould there is a chance that another network may pick up the series. Stan Against Evil, I am sad to report, will not be returning for a fourth season,” Gould stated. “It had a great run of three seasons. It’s not coming back. Will it show up in some other form on some other network someday? Maybe. But right now, as we like to say, it’s dead as Kelsey’s nuts.” He continued, “I’m very proud of the show and its fantastic cast: John McGinley, Janet Varney, Nate Mooney, Deborah Baker Jr., our great directors, Eban Schletter our great music person, Autonomous F/X, all the people that worked on the

Movie Review: Who Killed Cock Robin (2017)
In a case of major karma, journalist Wang Yi-chi (Kaiser Chuang Kai-hsun) witnesses a hit and run and nearly a decade later comes to own the car involved in the crime. As anyone with no common sense and a death wish would do, he decides to solve the cold case on his own and dives head first into a world of sinister secrets with only his charm to get him through…he’s probably as good as dead… Coming from director Cheng Wei-Hao who previously brought us the ghost heavy supernatural shocker Tag-Along franchise, Who Killed cock robin gets a lot of mileage out of it’s gritty neo-noir tone and the considerable charisma of it’s star Kai-hsun. Speaking of which, the character of Wang Yi-chi is a master at convincing people to fork over their secrets based solely on his personality alone…it definitely works for the character, and makes him incredibly personable…but it also presents a bit of a hindrance to the

Movie Review: The Isle (2019)
Three dudes, one lifeboat…not as kinky as it sounds, as said dudes, Oliver (Alex Hassell), Cailean (Fisayo Akinade) and, Jimmy (Graham Butler) to be precise, are the survivors of a mysterious shipwreck that find themselves stranded on a fog enshrouded, ice cold, drab and dreary island in 1800’s era Scotland. They come to stay with Douglas Innis (Conleth Hill) and his daughter (Tori Butler-Hart), and soon learn that shipwrecks are a way of life around the island and have lead to the massive dip in the locales’ population. The trio soon find themselves balls deep in a supernatural tinged quandary as they learn just why the populace, such as it is, remains in such a haunted and doomed location. Directed and Co-Written by Matthew Butler-Hart (along with his wife Tori Butler-Hart whom, if you have a shred of retention, will remember is one of the film’s actors as well) The Isle is a miasma ensconced, deliberately paced, slow burn throwback

Writer Reveals “Starship Troopers” Series In The Works With Original Cast
TV Networks have turned to the movie industry with a record number of film to series adaptations in the works. One of the latest in the works is Starship Troopers. Screenwriter Ed Neumeier revealed the news during a recent interview that he is returning to pen the series. But that’s not all, according to Neumeier, the original cast is on board.

Moritz brought up doing either a series adaptation or another feature, but neither came to fruition. The

Zac Efron IS Ted Bundy In The Trailer For ‘Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile’
The trailer has arrived for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, starring Zaf Efron as infamous killer Ted Bundy. Directed by Joe Berlinger, the trailer gives the impression that the film is more about Bundy’s life than it is about his brutal crimes. You have to admit, Efron’s resemblance to Bundy is uncanny. Lily Collins (Les Misérables) stars as Elizabeth Kloepfer, Bundy’s longtime girlfriend and whose point of view the film is told from. John Malkovich plays the role of Judge Edward Cowart, who presided over Bundy’s trial and sentenced him to death, with Jim Parsons in the role of lead prosecutor Larry Simpson.

A Remake Done Right: Video Game Review Of ‘Resident Evil 2’
I remember playing Resident Evil 2 on the N64 a lot; in fact, it was the first “Resident Evil” game I’ve ever played that got me hooked onto the series. Fast forward to now, you could only imagine the honor I felt when CAPCOM gave me the opportunity to play the remake of this classic and what I can say is this: If you liked the original, then you’ll love this! Don’t worry this is spoiler free! First thing I noticed right away playing this game, its dark, not figuratively, literally and that makes it amazing as it adds to the tension. Speaking of tension, usually, a soundtrack helps break it but the lack of one playing as you explore your surroundings makes it terrifying! I suggest playing this game with headphones as all the stops were pulled to creep you out with 3D surround sound, every creak of wood, the structural groan from wind, and distant sounds of flesh-crazed
