Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, has announced that it has acquired all rights in its territories to Z, the latest horror film from Still/Born director Brandon Christensen.

Gary Dauberman Sinks His Teeth Into The New ‘Salem’s Lot’ Adaptation

Almost exactly a year ago we reported that James Wan would be producing a new take on Stephen King’s vampire novel Salem’s Lot. We informed you back then that Gary Dauberman (IT, Annabelle Comes Home) would be penning the script. Now, news has come (via THR) that Dauberman will also be in the director’s chair. Published in 1975, Salem’s Lot centers on a writer who returns to his childhood home, the town of Jerusalem’s Lot where he discovers there’s a vampire plaguing the town. Dauberman had this to say last year: I did have a unique way into it but again, I think the book in itself is unique,” Dauberman told Slash Films. “I haven’t seen a scary vampire movie in a long, long time and I’d really love to tackle that. It’s one of my favorite books. It’s one of my favorite Stephen King books. We felt it should have the cinematic treatment that we gave IT; IT was

Movie Review: Scare Me (2020)

A group of college students park their asses in front of a campfire while taking a rest on their way to some music festival fracas and decide to have a scary story competition… but are they in a scary story themselves? This is the basic premise behind the new arcane anthology Scare Me; a creepy collection that offers a nice bit of fright flick variety for vicious viewers that decide to go on it’s revoltin’ ride! Speaking of variety, slap your putrid peepers on some of the frightful fun featured herein! Over the course of the film’s hour and forty-seven minute runtime (admittedly a tad long for yours cruelly who generally feels ninety minutes is the sweet spot for a jaunt into our beloved horror biz) we get; a boobs and blood, Franco-style Euro horror tale, the story of a radio revolutionary and the beast she must contend with, an urban vampire yarn, the tale of a leather ensconced gimp

Movie Review: Morbid Colors (2020)

The long and the short of the upcoming fright flick Morbid Colors goes as follows: a duo of freaky foster sisters set of an a quest to put the stalk n’ slay on a rich-as-balls socialite. Seems like a rather standard trip down our beloved Revenge Road, but the filmmakers have included one hell of a terror twist here cats n’ creeps; it seems the older sister is of the fang-bang set, and these ghoulish girls believe that Richie Rich mentioned previous is the vampire what done it! Along with that nifty preternatural premise up yonder, writer/director Matthew Packman has created a suitably cold and dreary world for this arcane action to go down in. Filled with leather jackets, slate-grey skies, underground metal bands, eyes hidden behind sunglasses, and an environment that is as bleak as the story set in it, this is one hell of a low-budget flick, and the careful choices of visuals and mythology sell the picture
