Netflix Review: Marianne

You know the drill, sign on to Netflix and spend hours looking for a good horror movie to watch. But here’s a surprise, the scariest thing on Netflix isn’t a horror movie. It’s a French (English dubbed) series titled “Marianne,” and it was released on Friday the 13th. I know what you’re thinking, ‘How scary can a show called ‘Marianne’ be?’ As a hardcore horror fan who’s next to impossible to scare, I can honestly say “Marianne” is downright chilling. But that’s not all; at its heart, the series is about a messed-up woman returning to the place and family that she pushed away years ago. It’s about people growing, becoming a better version of themselves, and conquering their demons. In the series, a well-known horror author Emma (Victoria Du Bois), returns to her hometown after a childhood friend reaches out to her for help. She believes that her mother is possessed by the witch from Emma’s novels, inspired by

Netflix Taking Us On Nightmare Vacation In New Series “The I-Land”

Kate Bosworth and Natalie Martinez take a trip to Netflix’s “The I-Land” this September. The first teaser welcomes you to “The I-Land“, coming off like a horror version of “Lost.” The mysterious new event series follows ten people who wake up on a treacherous island with no memory of how they arrived. As they et off to find a way back home, they soon discover this world is not as it seems. Faced with the island’s extreme psychological and physical challenges, they must become their better selves or die as their worst. Rumor has it that the series was inspired by the disastrous Fyre Festival 2017 music festival held on a remote island. When attendees showed up they found tents, little food and no concert featuring big-name musicians. Alex Pettyfer, Ronald Peet, Kota Eberhardt, Kyle Schmid, Sibylla Deen, Giles Geary, Anthony Lee Medina, and Michele Veintimilla also star. The seven-episode event premieres on Netflix on September 12, 2019.

Season two will spend a lot of time in the nearby town of Jerusalem’s Lot and will delve into the origin story of Miserey character Annie Wilkes, played by Lizzy Caplan (Cloverfield). We wanted to evolve the look on a visual level, and move [more] and be with characters more,” Yaitanes told Indiewire. “One of the things that worked well with ‘The Queen’ was point of view. That episode had a strong point of view of character, so [we’re] bringing that into Annie’s story and giving the show […] more urgency this year, more tension. We’re taking the things that worked well in Season 1 and taking them up a level.” He continued, “We’re seeing

Here’s What We Know About The “Chucky” Series

With Orion gearing up to release their Child’s Play reboot next month, you may be wondering where franchise creator Don Mancini‘s “Chucky” series stands. Last we reported Nick Antosca who created “Channel Zero” had come on board to produce. During a recent talk with Slash Film, Antosca teased that the series will more like the early films of the franchise and less like the Bride of Chucky and Seed of Chucky. The series is going to be closer to the tone of the first two movies in the series,” Antosca stated. “It’s going to go back to a sort of classic scare.” He continued. ““It’s consistent with that mythology, but it’s a whole new story,” Antosca explained. “So you could come into it without knowing anything about the previous stuff and get into it. But it is consistent with all the mythology that has come before, so it is in canon.” Antosca has left the door open for franchise regulars

‘The Dark Tower’ Series Begins Filming This Spring

It feels like every day we are reporting or giving an update on another Stephen King adaptation (not that we are complaining). Today we have an update on Amazon Studios’ upcoming series adaptation of King’s The Dark Tower. According to That Hashtag Show, the series is set to begin production this April in Croatia and will have a 13-episode first season. Casting is still being kept hush, hush at this point but it will be interesting to see who is cast in the roles of Roland and Walter. The 2017 movie starred Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, and while it had King’s support before the PG-13 release, after it opened in theaters he got very quiet. By the end of it, The Dark Tower only scored a mere 16 on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans were let down due to the amount of story that was left out due to time constraints and the way that everything was rushed to try to
