Today, we have the first look at Come True, the new nightmarish sci-fi thriller from acclaimed Canadian filmmaker, visual effects artist and musician Anthony Scott Burns, director of Our House. Starring Julia Sarah Stone (Honey Bee, The Killing) and Landon Liboiron (Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare), the film finds high school student Sarah (Stone) at her lowest point yet when she runs away from home and finds herself with no one to rely on and struggling with recurring nightmares. She chances upon a university sleep study that offers the promise of safety and money and brings her an unexpected friend and confidant in the overseeing scientist Jeremy (Liboiron).

Movie Review: Deep Blue Sea 3 (2020)

Too often, the shark movies we get are campy and shallow with no real message or facts. That’s where Deep Blue Sea 3 is different. With a more serious tone, the movie is filled with real facts and the message that we need to protect these amazing creatures. I truly appreciate that director John Pogue and writer Dirk Blackman took this approach. Don’t get me wrong, there are brief moments of cheesiness, but for the most part, this is a story about determination and survival. So if you’re looking for something like Sharknado, just keep swimming. In the film, a team of researches, led by the headstrong, passionate Dr. Emma Collins, are based on an artificial island. As they study the reef and shark nursery, a past lover of Dr. Collins arrives on a ship in hopes that she will help him find three sharks that have escaped a secret lab. Not knowing the entire story, the team joins the

Jordan Peele Teaming Up With Issa Rae For New Horror ‘Sinkhole’

Jordan Peele‘s next project, Sinkhole features a terror emerging from a pit in a family’s yard. The horror movie, coming from Universal Pictures, was created by Issa Rae (Insecure) and the Oscar-winner (Peele). Rae, who received three Emmy nominations yesterday, will also star in the film inspired by Leyna Krow’s short story, set on the street she lives on.

“The Exorcist” Star In Talks To Join ‘Callback’

HorrorScreams VideoVault and FoxTrot Productions have announced that a very well known face from the classic horror The Exorcist (1973) is in talks to join the cast of Callback.

The involvement of Eileen Dietz is however dependent on the success of the Indiegogo campaign which is currently live.
