‘Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead’ Getting an Updated “Reimaging”

Remember the hilarious chaos of 1991’s black comedy Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead? That wacky tale of teenage independence and unfortunate demise is getting a modern-day makeover. And it’s packing a surprising punch in its suitcase. Forget PG-13 shenanigans because this remake aims for an R-rating, raising eyebrows and anticipation in equal measure. A New Take: News of the remake first broke in 2020, with Treehouse Pictures promising a “diverse remake” centered on a family navigating the unexpected after their mom leaves town. Director Bille Woodruff (“Yellowjackets”) and writer Chuck Hayward (“WandaVision”) are reportedly joining forces to concoct a “new interpretation” that’s both witty and relevant to today’s world, at least that was the case, the last time we heard. The latest buzz surrounding the project isn’t about clever dialogue or social commentary. The official MPA rating is R. Yes, the film that once tickled our teenage funny bones with its PG-13 antics is stepping into more mature territory.

Movie Review: Count Dracula (1970) – Severin 4K

What do you get when you combine Sir Christopher Lee, legendary horror/exploitation filmmaker Jess Franco, the madman that was Klaus Kinski, and an absolute fang-banger of Gothic literature? Why you get a surprisingly more faithful than most, though by no means complete, retelling of Bram Stoker’s 1897 literary masterpiece Dracula of course! After encountering a number of locals that look at him like a dead man walking, lawyer Jonathan Harker (Fred Williams) continues to the Borgo Pass where he is met by a mysterious coachman that takes him to his destination; the castle of Count Dracula (Lee), an aging aristocrat who wishes to secure property in England with Harker’s assistance. Right from the get-go things are off with ol’ Drac, as he casts no reflection in mirrors, has fangs like a wolf, gets excited around blood, and sleeps in a stone coffin… oh, he also has a trio of brides that sleep in coffins and eat the babies of the

Spoiler-Free Short Film Reviews: MOTHER TONGUE, JANELLE’S BABY, and IHRUQAX (A Night of Horror International Film Festival)

Mother Tongue (Australia, 2023) Jade (Amelia Foxton, who wrote the screenplay) and Alex (Chiara Gizzi) want to have a baby together, and Alex desperately wants to have it herself rather than adopting, but the couple has run out of almost all options. Almost all, because director Glen Fraser’s Mother Tongue being a horror comedy, the couple can always turn to the dark arts as a last resort. For their journey into the diabolical, they seek the assistance of Brian (Stephen Hunter), who seems to be on the flighty side but proves that he is indeed an occult practitioner. In another classic horror-comedy case of “Be careful what you wish for,” the trio finds itself in quite a gruesome mess. Foxton’s screenplay is rich with both dramatic and comedic looks at parenting and expectations surrounding pregnancy and its difficulties, and delivers the goods in the occult department, too. Foxton and Gizzi are terrific in their portrayals of the frustrated couple, and
