Watch The New NSFW Red Band Trailer For ‘Homewrecker’

Ahead of the June release of the critically acclaimed festival hit Homewrecker, a new NSFW Red Band trailer has been unleashed. Alex Essoe (Doctor Sleep) and Precious Chong (L.A Confidential) star in director Zach Gayne’s “hilarious, dark view of modern loneliness” that has “the energy of a Jane Fonda workout tape” (Rotten Tomatoes), from Uncork’d Entertainment and Dark Star Pictures. “Michelle is an interior designer and newlywed to Robert. Linda lives alone and fills her days with painting and exercise classes. Seeking a new friend, Linda coerces the reserved, deferential Michelle into visiting her home for a spontaneous interior design consultation. Once inside, it quickly becomes clear that Linda has something far more sinister on her mind than throw pillows.” Scripted by Precious Chong, Alex Essoe, and Zach Gayne, Homewrecker is set to be released in select theaters June 26th and will arrive on Digital and DVD on July 3rd.

Scripts For Season 3 Of “Creepshow” Ordered Ahead Of Season 2 Premiere

Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium streaming service for horror, thriller and the supernatural, announced today that it has commissioned scripts for a full third season of “Creepshow“, showrunner and executive produced by Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead) and based on George A. Romero’s iconic 1982 movie. The bad news is that the second season will be delayed. It was set to commence shooting in March in Atlanta, Georgia, but has been on hold until film and television production resumes, whenever that may be. The anthology series shattered all Shudder records when it debuted last October, and its first season has just concluded a successful run on AMC. Creepshow continues to be near and dear to my heart and having the opportunity to continue the legacy by developing season 3 gives me the chance to work with some of the best storytellers and artists in the business. The stories we have in the pipeline for season 2 are even more outrageous, more

Movie Review: Race To See ‘Driven’ Starring “Supernatural’s” Richard Speight Jr.

“Supernatural” actor-director Richard Speight Jr. and Casey Dillard star in the supernatural film Driven, which follows a man on a mission to take down the dark entities released by his family’s curse. When a cab driver (Dillard) picks him she has no clue that her passenger, Roger (Speight Jr.), is about to introduce her to a world she had no idea exists. Driven, directed by Glenn Payne and written by Dillard, sits on the border between a horror film and horror-comedy. While filled with horror elements the interaction between the two characters gets downright funny at times. Speight Jr. and Dillard work so well together. There’s a contrast between the two characters with Dillard’s being a bit quirky and Speight Jr.’s being intense makes the two a match made in heaven. Much of the film is set in a car, which was risky, there’s always a huge chance that it could make viewers feel a bit claustrophobic, but director Payne
