‘Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark’ Is Days Away From Filming

CBS Films’ Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark adaptation is only days away from filming, producer Guillermo del Toro announced today on Twitter. While Del Toro was at one time set to direct, André Øvreda, who was behind The Autopsy of Jane Doe, is now in the director’s chair. The two will both be producing the project. The film is based on the Alvin Schwartz book series that was released from 1981 to 1991 and scared the crap out of us as kids. The script was penned by Kevin and Dan Hageman, and Del Toro. “The thriller follows a group of young teens who must solve the mystery surrounding sudden and macabre deaths in their small town.” No cast have been announced at this time. We start shooting in a few days- in Toronto! https://t.co/u8pCMfjAD1 — Guillermo del Toro (@RealGDT) August 21, 2018

DVD Review: Trench 11 (2017)

As World War I rages above, a small group of Allied troops explore an abandoned bunker far below ground. Inside those claustrophobic confines they discover an unimaginable horror…okay, it’s pretty imaginable…but it’s bad fuckin’ news all the same! You see, those fun lovin’ goofs the Germans have created a super shitty biological weapon which infects one of our heroes faster than you can say The Kaiser. Naturally our sickly soldier begins stalking and slaying his erstwhile comrades with wild abandon! Trench 11 has one major plus going for it and that’s fantastic lighting and set design that really creates an air of hopeless claustrophobia. Our heroes literally have next to nowhere to hide as their infected friend goes plum crazy. It creates a fantastic aesthetic, and keeps the suspense rate high. Another plus are the effects, that while are not plentiful, are nevertheless well executed. Special mention must also be made to the period accurate costumes and gear which were

A Young Girl’s Hidden Supernatural Talents Come To Light In ‘Prodigy’

After its highly-successful run on Amazon, the psychological thriller Prodigy makes its premiere on Netflix later this month as well as On Demand. In the film, “A discrete branch of the military calls upon psychologist James Fonda to take the case of a dangerous patient, nine-year-old Ellie. As their session begins, the young girl dissects Dr. Fonda’s unconventional methods, revealing her genius-level intellect. Only by challenging her to a battle of wits does Fonda begin to unravel the supernatural mystery surrounding Ellie — a deadly secret that threatens to destroy them both.” Prodigy wrapped an eventful festival run last year, accepting invites to nine festivals, including trips to Cinequest, Fantaspoa (Brazil) and Santa Cruz — where the film took home Best Narrative Feature honors. The film carried that success into its digital release, drawing a broad audience on Amazon, and maintaining a fresh Rotten Tomatoes score.
