This May IFC Midnight Will Unleash ‘The Wretched’

This May, IFC Midnight will unleash The Wretched, from Brett Pierce and Drew Pierce, the writing-directing team behind the zombie cult hit Deadheads. Starring John-Paul Howard (Hell or High Water) and Piper Curda (I Didn’t Do It), the film centers on a rebellious teenage boy, Ben, who is sent to live with his father for the summer and work at the local marina in order to gain some form of discipline. The idyllic tourist town offers little solace for him, however, as he is forced to deal with the local, privileged teens and his father’s new girlfriend. Ben’s problems grow increasingly disturbing when he makes a chilling discovery about the family renting the house next door when a malevolent spirit from the woods takes ahold of the parents and starts playing a sinister game of house, preying upon the children.” Jamison Jones, Zarah Mahler, Kevin Bigley, and Blane Crockarell also star. A chilling, modern spin on the legend of the

“Cursed Films” Has One Of The Biggest Premieres In Shudder History

Genre docuseries “Cursed Films” has made Shudder history by having the second-largest premiere ever for the streaming genre service. The series, only outranked by “Creepshow,” explores the myths and legends behind some of Hollywood’s notoriously “cursed” horror film productions, featuring interviews with experts, witnesses, cast, directors, and producers who experienced the events first hand. Were these movies really cursed, as many believe, or just victims of bad luck and bizarre circumstances? The Exorcist star Linda Blair, and The Omen director Richard Donner, along with Poltergeist III director Gary Sherman, podcaster Matt Gourley, critic April Wolfe, and Fangoria editor Phil Nobile Jr. are among the many insiders and experts interviewed for the series. Last week’s record-breaking premiere focused on the legend and impact of The Exorcist “curse.” Episodes two and three, premiering today, explore whether the Devil himself might have cursed The Omen and if a curse might be connected to the tragic deaths associated with the franchise. Cursed Films became

Movie Review: ‘We Summon The Darkness’ Is Badass And Bloody

Heavy metal and murder fill the 80s set horror We Summon the Darkness, starring Alexandra Daddario (Alexis), Maddie Hasson (Val) and Amy Forsyth (Bev) as a trio of young women on a mission. They head out to a concert, where the girls meet three guys, Mark (Keean Johnson), Kovacs (Logan Miller), and Ivan (Austin Swift). After the show is over, the girls take the guys back to Alexis’ father’s (Johnny Knoxville) house to continue the party, but these guys have no idea what the girls have in store for them. From the getgo you can tell something is off. I mean why would three hot girls be interested in three losers? Once back at the house the girls begin a game of “never have I ever.” During the game, they reveal their real intentions, but of course, nothing goes as planned and chaos ensues. There are a few things that just didn’t quite make sense. Here’s an example, Bev’s choice

Blu-ray Review: Verotika (2019)

The arcane anthology Verotika (written and directed by the legendary Glenn Danzig; he of Misfits, Samhain, and solo fame… and based on the comic books he created for his Verotik imprint) begins with an eye-opening introduction from Morella (played with loads of satanic sass by Kayden Kross), a demonic entity that first appeared within the pages of Satanika (issue number eight to be precise, with Mighty Duke Mighten on poison pencils)… shit, did I fail to mention that I’m a titanic fan of both Glenn and his comics? Following our intro we jump to an adaptation of my favorite Verotik series, The Albino Spider of Dajette (which featured kinetic, Aeon Flux-style artwork created by Eric Canete). The basics of the story goes as follows: French model Dajette makes love in her apartment with a man that is ill-prepared to handle her unique deformity… she has eyes in her tits where those good ol’ nipples should be! Said boyfriend ghosts which
