Go ‘Inside’ The English Remake Of ‘ À l’intérieur’ In The New Trailer

A new trailer for the English remake of Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s 2007 French genre film Inside has arrived. If the new version is anything like the original film we can expect an intense, brutal experience. In fact, the original version, À l’intérieur, is still considered one of the most extreme genre films released in the past 20 years. In the film, only months after a woman’s husband passes away, a pregnant woman is tormented in her home by a strange woman who wants her unborn baby. The remake, starring Rachel Nicholas and Laura Harring, was directed by Miguel Ángel Vivas and written by Manu Diez and Jaume Balaguro who co-directed [REC]. Producer Adrian Guerra stated that with the remake, ” We took the original idea and made it an edge-of-your-seat thriller, more Hitchcock-ian than a splatter-fest.” Check out the trailer. Unfortunately, it is dubbed in Spanish with no subtitles. Hopefully, we will see an English version soon.

Blood Feast (2016) Coming To Theaters

One of the few, and I mean very few, remakes I’ve looked forward to seeing is director Marcel Walz’s Blood Fest, originally released in 1963 by H.G. Lewis. While the trailer for the revamped film was released last June, we’ve been waiting to learn of a theatrical release date. Walz revealed to Shock Till You Drop that a distribution deal has been struck and Medallion Releasing will be unleashing Blood Feast in theaters on April 28, 2017. Starring Robert Rusler, Caroline Williams, Sophie Monk, and Sadie Katz, the story centers on Fuad Ramses (Rusler) and his family who have moved from the US to France, where they run a diner. With business not going well, Fuad takes a second job as the night shift at a museum of ancient Egyptian culture. During the long, lonely nights, he finds himself drawn to an ancient statue of the goddess Ishtar (Katz). He becomes more and more drawn to her as she speaks

The Fly Getting A New Remake By Fox

It has been just over thirty years since David Cronenberg unleashed The Fly, the remake of the 1958 Kurt Neumann film of the same name. Cronenberg’s version, which starred Jeff Goldblum as a scientist who transforms into a giant, mutated fly after an experiment goes wrong, was one of the greatest practical effect films of the time. It seems that every thirty years or so we get a remake of The Fly. So what’s the buzz? A new remake has just been announced. Deadline is reporting that Sleight director J.D. Dillard is in negotiations with 20th Century FOX to direct and co-write the script along with Alex Theurer who is behind 2017’s Stray. The duo has teamed up before, to pen the script for Sleight. At the moment that’s all we know. We assume that the film will stick to the same storyline as did the first two films. We will keep you updated.

Max Landis Will Direct The American Werewolf In London Remake

One of the most iconic films in horror history is ‘An American Werewolf in London’. It was only a matter of time before it fell victim to the remake machine. That’s right, ‘An American Werewolf in London’ is being remade by Universal. Max Landis, along with Robert Kirkman and David Albert, the producers of ‘The Walking Dead’, are behind the upcoming film. Max Landis, whose father, John Landis, wrote and directed the original, will both pen the script and direct. Kirkman and Albert will produce under their Skybound Entertainment banner, Variety reports. John Landis and Anthony Waller, who was behind ‘An American Werewolf in Paris’, recently finalized a deal with Universal for the remake rights. I have to say, that if anyone was going to remake this classic, I’m glad that it is Max Landis. His father will hopefully have a heavy influence on the remake. Max Landis penned the scripts for ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency’, ‘American Ultra’, ‘Victor

Pumpkinhead Is Being Raised Once Again In A New Reboot

Another 80’s horror flick is being rebooted. This time it’s 1988’s supernatural film Pumpkinhead. EW is reporting that Peter Block, the executive producer of the Saw franchise, has picked up the rights to Pumpkinhead and has a script penned by Nate Atkins. Block is currently searching for a director for the reboot, which he will produce. And hopes to begin filming early next year, using practical effects like in the original. Pumpkinhead is one of my favorite horror films of the late ’80s, early ’90s,” Block said. “Stan Winston sits on that Mount Rushmore of iconic filmmakers because of his creature designs, and that was his first directing effort. The creature’s great but the emotional story is wonderful as well. I got the rights to Pumpkinhead, and hooked up with a great young writer called Nate Atkins, and we developed our script, which is really solid. The original film starred Lance Henricksen (Aliens) as a man, living deep in the

The Craft’s Upcoming Remake Isn’t A Remake After All

This week marks the 20th anniversary of The Craft and it has been a while since there has been any news about the remake. New came yesterday that it won’t be a remake after all. Douglas Wick, the new film’s producer, told HitFix that the film is actually a sequel that picks up 20 years later. I wouldn’t say that we wouldn’t so much call it a remake as a ‘twenty years later’. There will be callbacks to the original movie, so you will see there is a connection between what happened in the days of ‘The Craft,’ and how these young women came across the magic many years later.’ Wick stated. Wick also discussed the vision that Phil Graziadei and co-writer and director Leigh Janiak have in store. Here are some young women who once again discover the power of magic, and we explore their emotional lives, their wants, their fears, their longings, as they become empowered. So you
