Logo Revealed For “Are You Afraid Of The Dark” Feature Film
Last year we reported that IT remake writer Gary Dauberman was writing the script for Paramount’s feature film adaption of the ’90s TV series “Are You Afraid of the Dark?” That news was followed by Paramount announcing a 201 release date for the movie. This week at CinemaCon Paramount unveiled an official logo letting fans know that the film is still coming. “The show is about the shared experience of telling stories — especially scary ones. We’re going to celebrate that with this movie and honor the darker, scarier tone of the show, which was really groundbreaking for Nickelodeon at the time. I hope the Midnight Society approves,” Dauberman, who produces with Matt Kaplan, recently told THR. The original series followed a group of teenagers who call themselves The Midnight Society. Each week one member of the club would tell a scary story to their friends. Are You Afraid of the Dark will arrive on October 11, 2019.

We’ve been waiting for a while to hear more about Oscar-nominated director Luca Guadagnino ‘s new version of Dario Argento’s Suspiria. Yesterday, crowds at CinemaCon finally got a look and it sent people on Twitter into a frenzy. Ummm I am traumatized after seeing a scene from "Suspiria" in which Dakota Johnson controls the body of another woman as she dances. The woman's body literally cracks in half. She is like, torn apart. Spitting, urinating, bleeding. It's… A lot. #CinemaCon — Amy Kaufman (@AmyKinLA) April 26, 2018 First clip from Suspiria invokes a dancer being thrown around like a rag doll telekinetically in a mirrored rehearsal space, bones breaking, becoming a contorted mess. Very gruesome and hard to watch. This film will make most people feel uneasy. #CinemaCon — /Film (@slashfilm) April 26, 2018 Dakota Johnson stars alongside Chloe Grace-Moretz, Tilda Swinton, Mia Goth, Angela Winkler, Sylvie Testud, Malgosia Bela, Jessica Harper, and Lutz Ebersdorf.

Movie Review: Evolution of Evil (2017)
After a truly impressive opening of a car winding through secluded mountain roads viewed from above (think Kubrick, but doubtless shot utilizing a drone for a mere fraction of the cost of a helicopter…but damn does it look great), the story proper of Evolution of Evil gets underway; to wit: a young couple (maybe they are just friends…damned if I could tell), named Christopher and Lori for those of you keeping score at home, treks out to the middle of nowhere to get away from it all, and everything is artisanal beer and bratwurst until the silence of the night is split by distant gunshots. Well the following morning things go from pleasant to poopy as Chris is abducted (I know, right?!!) by some seriously fucked up woodsmen and subjected to all manner of rape and abuse (again, right?!!). Meanwhile Lori wanders the woods in a daze before being picked up by one of our batshit antagonists. What follows is

Movie Review: The Grave Caller (2017)
A young writer named Sam Talbot (Nathaniel Grauwelman) and his wife Veronica (Vanessa Cuccia) head out to a cabin in the sticks where he hopes to learn a lil’ somethin’ about the family tree…or the dark roots from which it grew. Finding his uncle’s diary, Sam learns that his alcoholic ancestor (Jacob Crickenberger) went a bit screwy after he witnessed his wife murdered by a psycho in a bunny mask (I loved this visual by the by)…or did he…I don’t really know, and neither will you (which is a plus if you ask me). Anyway, how will the sins of the past effect the present? I’m not telling…and I’m not even sure if I could! On the plus side, there are some beautiful visuals on display here (in particular in the surreal dream sequences), and the acting (in particular from Vanessa Cuccia as Veronica, and Jacob Crickenberger as the beleaguered Samuel were real stand outs) is mostly solid… The Grave
