‘IT’ Director Rebooting ‘The Howling’

Over the past few years, the horror genre has continued to grow by leaps and bounds and that trend shows no sign of slowing. With reboots and remakes growing in popularity as well it’s no surprise that genre classics are all on the chopping block. The latest classic to be added to the reboot list is the werewolf classic The Howling. The best part of the news, Andrés Muschietti, the director of IT, will be at the helm for Netflix. Muschietti revealed the news during a Q&A with That HashTag Show following a screening of Underwater. The original 1981 film is an adaptation of the novel by Gary Brander and starred Dee Wallace. It was directed by Joe Dante whose film was not a word for word adaptation. There are no details yet if the new film will be a reboot of the novel or the film, so we’ll just have to wait and see. In Dante’s The Howling, a

Blu-ray Review: Girl on the Third Floor (2019)

Don Koch (C.M. Punk) has had a bit of a rough go lately; he’s lost his job, almost been chucked in the slammer… but on the plus side, his wife Liz (Trieste Kelly Dunn) has got a bun in the oven, and he has a rather killer Victorian-era house to renovate. Seems prosaic enough, but the locals have plenty to say about the abode, none of it particularly great… and anyone can see why, as the dwelling leaks all manner of glop from the walls and pipes… a little black sludge here, demon spunk from the shower there, not to mention Don’s pooch hates the place like a mother fucker, which is never a good sign… just the things all homeowners go through. As things get ever more hectic our beleaguered hero soon finds himself balls deep in affairs, dead pets, and oh so much more as apparently his new home used to be a whorehouse that seemingly serviced Silent

Movie Review: Bloodhound (2020)

The long and the short of Bloodhound is rather simple: Private dick Abel Walker (Ed Ackerman) is looking for a dame that has pulled a disappearing act, and he’s brought along his cameraman, Jim (David Foy), to document the whole sordid affair. As the plot sickens, our dudes find themselves balls deep in a swirling miasma of twists, turns, and murder. While that plot sounds straightforward, the actual picture is anything but. Writer/director Jason Richard Miller has created a unique animal in our ol’ horror biz; a heady mix of film noir (including the omnipresent narration the genre utilizes), found footage, and faux documentary. These techniques make the audience feel that we are actually a part of Walker’s high stakes investigation, and it all works pretty damn well. Adding to that is Ackerman’s dependable “everyman” performance that really gets us invested in our hero’s plight… one which may be way beyond his scope to contend with. Another element I enjoyed
