A First Look At ‘Incident In A Ghost Land’ From The Director Of ‘Martyrs’

From the director of Martyrs, Pascal Laugier, comes the home invasion thriller Incident In A Ghost Land. Starring French singer Mylène Farmer, Taylor Hickson, Emilia Jones, Crystal Reed, and Anastasia Phillipps, the film is said to have a heavy Stephen King feel. The film centers on Colleen (Farmer) and her two daughters – the eldest, Beth (Reed), totally locked-in and shy, finds comfort in the stories she invents in the books she writes, and Vera (Philipps), way more open and self-confident, inherit her house.

Daughters and mother finally reunite at the house where Colleen and Vera

Published in 1983, Pet Sematary follows Louis and Rachel Creed and their two young children. When Church, the family’s cat, is run over their neighbor tells them of the land beyond the pet cemetery where when things are buried they come back. Church did.

Attack of the Rotten Tomatoes

The Sites Rotten Tomatoes ruined the summer 2017 boxoffice. The New York Times published this article on film review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes (read here). The site has been around almost twenty years. I was first introduced to it back in 2003-2004.

When it comes to a franchise like Transformers, the studios love
