Anthologies are all the rage in the fright flick biz these days…or they were at one point…it doesn’t really matter because I’m taking a look at one today, and then I’m gonna tell you if it’s hit or shit with my normal award losing candor…so yeah…10/31!! 10/31 begins with some trick or treaters parkin’ their ass in front of the boob tube (and in this case that term is apt because they are watching bosomy horror hostess Malvolia’s horror marathon) where they view the various and sundry terror tales…like the one that leads off this affair; The Old Hag! Hag concerns the trials and tribulations of two dudes aiming to film a promo video for an old mansion that’s been turned into a dead…err bed and breakfast.

John Malkovich Joins Cast of Zac Efron Led Ted Bundy Biopic
Zac Efron’s further attempts to break into serious acting will continue with “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, And Vile” where he will portray serial killer Ted Bundy. While the biopic might win the “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” Award for overlong movie title, the idea of Efron as Bundy is an interesting one. The two share a quiet confidence and good looks, if not (as far as we know!) the same murderous desires. The production got a big boost of credibility today with the announcement that Academy Award nominee John Malkovich would be joining the cast. As of now there’s no announcement as to who Malkovich will play, but the very precense of the veteran thespian give’s the production a significant boost. Personally I’m very conflicted on these kind of films; as much as I find serial killers and serial killer culture…interesting…portraying them as a kind of folk hero, something many biopics and documentaries on the

Has Neill Blomkamp Chosen His Next Feature Film?
Throughout 2017 Neill Blomkamp released a series of intense, fantastic short horror film through Oats Studios. The titles included Rakka, Firebase, Zygote, and Lima. Each with a sci-fi horror feel. Back in July during our interview with Blomkamp, he revealed plans to turn at least one of his short films into a feature film. These are ideas. They are sort of vignettes into the world of ‘Zygote’, or the world of ‘Firebase’, or the world of ‘Rakka’. Once we make them and see how they look and how they feel and how the online audience responds to them, we can choose which one we feel like turning into a feature film. At this point, I don’t think that any footage or pieces that we have already shot would be used in the feature film. They are more like informative, tonal, references for writing new scripts and new stories.” It appears that Blomkamp has narrowed it down to Firebase or Zygote
