“Slasher’s” 4th Season Heads To Shudder

Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium service for horror, thriller, and the supernatural, announced today that it has teamed up with award-winning production company Shaftesbury to make a new eight-episode installment of the hugely popular horror series, “Slasher”. “Slasher: Flesh & Blood” follows a wealthy but dysfunctional family gathering for a reunion on a secluded island.

Blu-ray Review: Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula (2020)

Remember ol’ Train to Busan, the story of a father trying hard as fuck to get his daughter to her mother via train during a zombie apocalypse? That one had suspense, human drama, and plenty of gut munchers, and seemed like a breath of fresh air among the fetid pile that is the over-saturated zombie film genre. That brings us to Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula, the follow up to that aforementioned fright flick, and while the zombies remain, little else from the first go-around remains. In a prologue set during the time of the first film, we get a touch of that ol’ magic from the first film as South Korean Marine Captain Jung-seok (Gang Dong-won) tries unsuccessfully to flee the zombie menace along with his sister and her family (only her husband and the Captain survive), on a boat that is soon overrun with the infected. Flash forward four years, and Chul-min (Kim Do-yoon), that previously mentioned husband

Movie Review: May the Devil Take You Too

Fasten your seat belts and keep your arms inside the vehicle at all times for May the Devil Take You Too, the practically nonstop assault on the senses that is writer/director Timo Tjahjanto’s sequel to his 2018 May the Devil Take You. That first installment in the series was a wild, intense, grue-soaked ride of occult horror á la The Evil Dead, and this sequel doesn’t lose any momentum. The film kicks off with two friends, Gadis (Widika Sidmore) and her friend Dewi (Aurélie Moeremans) going through a supernatural encounter that will prove fatal for Dewi. It then cuts to Alfie (Chelsea Islan) and her young stepsister Nara (Hadijah Shahab), survivors of a battle with the devil from the first film. They are kidnapped by a group of masked home invaders and taken to an abandoned orphanage. The kidnappers turn out to be a group of young adults who were raised at the orphanage: Gadis, Jenar (Shareefa Danish), Budi (Bhaskara
