The first spin-off, Annabelle, premiered in 2014. It received a lukewarm reaction from fans and critics but still managed to become a financial success like its predecessor. Next we got The Conjuring 2, a direct sequel to the…

Only a few days have passed since we got our first look at the upcoming sixth film in the Tremors franchise, titled Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell. As you can likely assume from the title, the movie changes from the franchise’s usual desert locale and moves Burt Gummer and his son played by Jamie Kennedy into the arctic. The film also sees a return from the creative team involved with Tremors 5, so if you weren’t a fan of that film this sequel may not be what you were hoping for. Luckily, of course, we’ll also be getting a…
