Celebrate The 10th Anniversary Of ‘Deadly Revisions’ With New Director’s Cut
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of Deadly Revisions, a brand new, ultimate cut of Gregory Blair’s award-winning psychological thriller is now available to rent on Amazon and Google Play, with more streaming options to be announced soon. Forthcoming collector edition DVDs and Blu-rays will feature bonus material, including interviews with Blair and the key cast and never-before-released behind-the-scenes media. In the film, Emmy Award-winning horror film favorite Bill Oberst, Jr. plays Grafton Torn—an amnesiac horror film writer for whom hypnotherapy and nightmares reveal terrifying images that can’t be real. Or can they? A valentine to the horror genre, the film provides familiar tropes and loving winks to masters such as DePalma, Raimi, and Hitchcock. As Grafton examines his past, the film explores the art of the horror film itself and its value as a safe place to confront fears while dealing with demonic dolls, hooded figures, and other things that go bump in the night. Deadly Revisions earned fistfuls of

‘I Spit On Your Grave’ Celebrates Its 45th Anniversary With New Book
To mark the 45th anniversary of Meir Zarchi’s infamous film, I Spit n Your Grave, also titled Day of the Woman, is being honored with a script book from publisher Printed in Blood. When Meir Zarchi was asked 1978 about the film’s shelf life, he replied, “Five years.” Meir Zarchi states, “Jennifer Hill’s legacy will outlive both of us.” The film’s enduring legacy is evident in several aspects, such as its powerful message, realistic shooting style, female interpretation, and influence on other genres over the years. For example, recent films like Revenge and Promising Young Woman have inspired it.” The film tells the story of “Jennifer Hills (Camille Keaton), a novelist, who is left for dead after a brutal assault and exacts vengeance on her attackers.

Spoiler-Free Reviews: EVIL SUBLET and BAKEMONO (Another Hole in the Head Film Festival)
eVil Sublet (U.S., 2023) Like most things in life, if rent sounds too good to be true, there must be some sort of problem. In writer/director/cinematographer/editor/producer Allan Piper’s horror comedy eVil Sublet — eVil referring to New York City’s East Village — couple Alex (Jennifer Leigh Houston, Piper’s wife and also a producer on the film) and Ben (Charley Tucker) find that out first-hand when they rent a fully-furnished apartment for incredibly low rent that turns out to be not only haunted, but the site of multiple past murders. The film aims more for satire and silliness than scares, though plenty of creepiness is certainly on hand. eVil Sublet sends up the housing crisis, pharmaceutical companies, political and sexual politics, and more as Alex and Ben try to cope with their spooky situation with the help of a large cast of supporting characters, including Sally Struthers as a woman living in a storage facility, Stephen Mosher and Pat Dwyer as

Terror Grips Lily-Rose Depp In First Image From Robert Eggers’ ‘Nosferatu’
Empire Magazine has revealed the first image for Robert Eggers’ highly anticipated gothic horror film Nosferatu, based on the classic 1922 silent film directed by F.W. Murnau. The image features Lily-Rose Depp gripped with terror as the shadow of the vampire Count Orlok falls upon her. Played by IT and Barbarian star Bill Skarsgård, Count Orlok is far from your romanticized, suave vampire. He’s grotesque. Eggers, the brilliant filmmaker behind films such as The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman, speaks on Bill Skarsgård’s portrait of the vampire. “I’ll say that Bill has so transformed, I’m fearful that he might not get the credit that he deserves because he’s just… he’s not there,” Eggers said of Skasgård’s performance. “He felt like honoring who had come before him. It’s all very subtle. But I think the main thing is that he’s even more [of] a folk vampire. In my opinion, he looks like a dead Transylvanian nobleman, and in a way

‘Scream’ Star Melissa Barrera Fired From ‘Scream 7’ Due To Social Media Posts
Horror fans have begun flooding social media with posts demanding justice for Scream star Melissa Barrera after she was fired from the upcoming Scream sequel. The actress who starred in Scream and Scream VI has been fired due to a ridiculous reason: her social media posts supporting the Palestinians. Fans are angry, and who could blame them? Being famous shouldn’t prevent someone from voicing their opinions, especially when it comes to something like this. Last time I checked, free speech was still a thing. So what horrible, controversial thing did she say to get fired? “Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp,” she said in one post on Instagram stories. “Cornering everyone together, with no where to go, no electricity no water … People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.” Variety reports that a spokesperson for Spyglass Media Group
