Supernatural Terror Is Teased In New ‘Amulet’ Trailer

The new poster and trailer have been unveiled for writer-director Romola Gari‘s supernatural horror film Amulet. Following an accident that leaves him homeless in London, former soldier Tomaz is brought to the rotting home of Magda, a lonely woman in desperate need of help as she looks after her dying mother. Though at first resistant, Magda eventually welcomes him into their lives and allows him to help her care for them. But as he worms his way into their routine and begins to fall for Magda, Tomaz starts to notice strange, unexplainable, and ugly phenomena. Something seems very wrong with the mysterious old woman who never leaves the top floor, and Magda may in fact be enslaved to do her otherworldly bidding. Carla Juri, Alec Secareanu, Imelda Staunton, and Angeliki Papoulia star. Magnet Releasing will release Amulet in theaters and On Demand on July 24th, 2020.

ABC Passes On ‘The Brides’ But The Series Isn’t Dead Just Yet

Earlier this year, ABC ordered the pilot for their vampire series “The Brides” from Roberto Aquirre-Sacasa (“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”) which centered on the Brides of Dracula. News has now come via Deadline that the series will not be moving forward at ABC but will be shopped to other networks. Gina Torres (“Hannibal”) and Goran Višnjić (“Timeless”) were set to star. The series is described as “a sexy, contemporary reimagining of the Dracula saga as a family drama with a trio of powerful, diverse female leads. With strong horror elements, a vampire soap about empowered, immortal women and the things they do to maintain wealth, prestige, legacy—and their non-traditional family.”

The ‘Legions’ Trailer Gives Off Serious ‘Evil Dead’ Vibes

FilmSharks has snagged the worldwide sales and rights to remake the Argentinian, English subtitled horror film Legions. And the first trailer has a serious Evil Dead vibe. The film follows a jailed man who must summon his powers of sorcery to escape and rescue his daughter from danger. Directed by Fabian Forte, this supernatural flick stars Germán De Silva (Wild Tales), Lorena Vega (Tigre), and Ezequiel Rodriguez (Soy Luna). Legions is a supernatural story that mixes different narrative lines and genres,” Director Fabian Forte says. “The story is fantastic and contains irony, humor and obviously the elements of the horror genre. These ingredients, plus strong and human characters, evil and imaginary beings (or perhaps not), the dizzying pace and the climates of tension create a product designed for a young audience, where adrenaline and humor are the support to tell a mystical and critical history of the modern world and the lack of beliefs.” The film is headed to the

Movie Review: Scarred (2016)

Lets cut right to the chase, and lay down the plot for ol’ Scarred in a nasty nutshell; masked lunatic Jonah has a wild hair up his arcane ass about killing the beautiful people… so naturally a gaggle of photogenic victims arrive on the scene to help ol’ Joltin J fill his kill card with the quickness! So right off the bat you just know what you’re in for with this fright flick; namely boobs and bloodshed… and indeed Scarred delivers on that front with ghoulish gusto… unfortunately the folks these sinister shenanigans happen to aren’t the most interesting or endearing protagonists out there in stalk n’ slay land, but they look good and do what’s required of them; namely be scared shitless and scream a lot (and that’s my way of saying the actors do their best with the material given). Who is interesting however is Jonah, our masked maniac of the hour; who comes complete with a tragic
