Netflix has now announced the premiere date and released the haunting new trailer for Brightburn director David Yarovesky’s spooky feature adaptation, Nightbooks, inspired by the novel by J.A. White. In the film, “Alex (Winslow Fegley) is a creative boy with a strong passion for writing scary stories. But when he’s labeled weird and rejected for what he likes, he swears he’ll never write again.

6 Favorite Students’ Horror Films

Many students like gathering with their peers to watch and discuss the latest horror movies. But have you ever thought why young people enjoy frightening scenes more than historical or dramatic films? Let’s try to figure it out! Since fear is one of the most powerful emotions, some people just seek intense feelings. They want to get scared because it helps them to get distracted from study routines. A kind of emotional rollercoaster helps students reboot their brains and mentally reset. Those who don’t imagine their lives without the regular adrenaline rush also tend to prefer horror movies to other genres. Sometimes, students choose horrors because they find them a great alternative to cliche films. Typically, horror movies have an unexpected beginning and extraordinary story. Their plot usually implies a unique combination of fantasy, mystery, and real-life situations. Now that you realize how cool a horror genre is, you are probably wondering how to find time for a movie night.

‘Prisoners Of The Ghostland’ Gets A New Beautiful And Badass Poster

A new gorgeous poster (above) for Sion Sono‘s Prisoners of the Ghostland, starring Nicolas Cage (Willy’s Wonderland, Conair), is here featuring Cage standing atop a giant set of tatami gusoku (Japanese armor) that looks like it’s right of the Kofun period. The new art also features a quote from Cage where he calls the film, “The wildest movie I’ve ever made.” Coming from Cage, that says a lot! Set in the treacherous frontier city of Samurai Town, the film centers on a ruthless bank robber (Nicolas Cage) who has been sprung from jail by the wealthy warlord, The Governor (Bill Moseley), whose adopted granddaughter Bernice (Sofia Boutella) has gone missing. The Governor offers the prisoner his freedom in exchange for retrieving the runaway.

4K Ultra HD Review: Two Evil Eyes (1990)

Two Evil Eyes is an arcane anthology divided into two halves (it’s all there in the title folks), both directed by legendary horror directors (George A. Romero and Dario Argento for those keepin’ score at home) and based on the writing of Edgar Allan Poe (The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar and The Black Cat respectively). Let’s kick out the jams with Romero’s joint, shall we? Jessica Valdemar (Adrienne Barbeau) is what one would call “a reluctant shit-heel”; sure she’s conspiring with Dr. Robert Hoffman (Ramy Zada) to bilk her dying husband, Ernest (Bingo O’Malley) out of his vast fortune via hypnosis… but she doesn’t feel great about it, until the dough begins to be well in hand that is. As fate would have it, Ernest buys the farm, so Bob and Jess chuck his dead ass in a large freezer in the basement and carry on with the Devil’s business… which you’d imagine would go smoothly, but
