This July ‘Ghosts Of War’ Will Haunt Cinemas And Digital (Trailer)

I imagine if any place could be haunted it would be those locations where men died in the dirt fighting wars or places associated with horrible atrocities. In the new trailer for the World War II set supernatural thriller Ghosts of War, we get both of those things. We see a group of soldiers who are tasked with guarding a mansion, not knowing the terror that awaits them. In Ghosts of War, five battle-hardened American soldiers are assigned to hold a French Chateau near the end of World War II. Formerly occupied by the Nazi high command, this unexpected respite quickly descends into madness when they encounter a supernatural enemy far more terrifying than anything seen on the battlefield. Written and directed by Eric Bress, the film stars Brenton Thwaites, Alan Ritchson, Skylar Astin, Theo Rossi, Kyle Gallner, Billy Zane, and Shaun Toub. Ghosts of War arrives on July 17, 2020, in virtual cinemas, On Demand, and Digital, and will

Ari Aster Teases His Follow Up To ‘Midsommar’, A “Nightmare Comedy”

In 2019 Ari Aster unleashed his disturbing, hit film Midsommar (review). Now, he’s teasing his next project. During a Reddit Ask-Me-Anything session, the Hereditary director stated that his next film will either be a “zonky nightmare comedy” or a “big, sickly domestic melodrama” saying either project would fit in with both Midsommar and Hereditary. Aster also described the second film as an “anxiety comedy” and “an absurdist, evil comedy.” Recently, while speaking to a group of UC Santa Barbara’s students, Aster teased that he’s completed a new draft of the “nightmare comedy.” Aster also said that the film will be even longer than Midsommar‘s extended cut which is 147 minutes long and more disturbing than the film’s theatrical release, saying “All I know is that it’s gonna be four hours long,” Aster stated. It can be noted that both of its predecessors were over two hours long. As soon as we know more we’ll give you an update.

Book Review: The Light Reapers: End of the World

I have just had the chance to read the novel The Light Reapers: End of the World by Gary Hickman. Right off the bat, bluntly and honestly, I enjoyed this novel very much and I am grateful that Mr. Hickman sent it to me to read and review. The “Light Reapers” are an elite special ops group of soldiers who have a history of missions together that have bonded them over the years. They are deployed to rescue a scientist who may be able to find a cure for a viral pandemic caused by an ISIS faction which turns people into vicious, flesh eating hordes who who kill for any reason and in every grotesque way you can imagine. Story On the surface, the story of Light Reapers is not anything new. Zombies are a time honored horror tradition with a long, long list of media building their anthology of gnawing and feeding on flesh. For broad strokes purposes, this
