The beauty of the slasher genre is that the iconic killers can always return for another outing. This seems to be the case with Victor Crowley, the well-known villain of the Hatchet franchise which returns for its fourth installment tomorrow. Appropriately enough, the film will also be titled Victor Crowley as opposed to Hatchet 4 when it hits Blu-ray and DVD. Coming Soon has gotten their hands on an all-new clip from the film to promote the home video release. In the video are the first blood-soaked five minutes, which quickly kill off a group of characters with ease. https://youtu.be/9IwVf4U73tc…

It’s become expected for giant movie trailers to come out during the Super Bowl 52 showing, and today Universal decided to unleash an all-new spot for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The film clearly ups the ante on its predecessor, instead focusing on a gigantic volcanic eruption rather than the usual dinosaur foes. Of course, you can still expect plenty of dinosaur action. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NooW_RbfdWI&feature=youtu.be The sequel — set several years after 2015’s billion-dollar smash Jurassic World — concerns a volcano on Isla Nublar that threatens the dinosaurs that had overrun the park at the end of the previous film.

John Carpenter helped create Halloween and the character of Michael Myers way back in 1978, resulting in the first major slasher movie as we know them today. Unfortunately, his lack of desire to produce a sequel left us with half-inspired attempts as Carpenter stepped further away from the franchise. Finally, by the time Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers was released, Carpenter was completely absent from the franchise. At that point the ideas with what to do with Michael were up to outside sources, and Carpenter did nothing more than comment on how awful each new Halloween sequel appeared.…

Don’t Breathe was one of the biggest horror hits of 2016, and soon after Director Fede Alvarez announced that a sequel would quickly be thrown into production.

The brand obviously has potential – just look at the success of the comics, The Dark Knight trilogy, and even the DCEU’s own Wonder Woman movie. They have all been positively accepted by fans, and yet, the majority of films in the franchise have been panned by both fans and critics alike. While this is a perplexing scenario, especially when the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to see success, market research tech provider ZappiStore decided to figure out why…

The real Laurie Strode is back in Haddonfield! After Rob Zombie’s remakes which introduced a new less-than-watchable Laurie, and Halloween: H20 and Halloween: Resurrection which seemed to misunderstand her character, we’re getting to go back to that original Laurie everyone loved forty years ago in the upcoming Halloween movie. As you can see in her Tweet, Jamie Lee Curtis is really doing her best to match the part. She’s even sporting a very familiar hair and fashion style, one that’s sure to shock your senses with a late 70’s aesthetic. Groovy! First shot! First day. Same slate. Same Laurie. David…
