We still have awhile to go before Cinestate’s Puppet Master reboot will be released. Audiences will get their first taste this coming weekend at the Overlook Film Festival where the movie will premiere. And if that’s not enough, Cinestate is confident enough to announce their next project – a remake of Full Moon’s Castle Freak. The 1995 film Castle Freak was directed by Stuart Gordon, best known for helming Lovecraft adaptations like Re-Animator and From Beyond. The original story that Castle Freak is based on, The Outsider, was also written by H.P. Lovecraft and followed a family inheriting a variety…

Another iconic star has once again passed away, this time being the great Harry Anderson. He was best known for his appearances on Night Court, but also for playing the adult Richie in Tommy Lee Wallace’s original 1990 adaptation of Stephen King’s IT. While there isn’t much information given about his death, he was only 65 and found at his home in Asheville, North Carolina. According to TMZ, the actor went into cardiac arrest and wasn’t responsive when the paramedics arrived. It’s unfortunate because although Anderson didn’t have very many roles, he still did his best in the few he…

It’s been three years since Neill Blomkamp first teased his dream project, Alien 5 – a sequel to Ridley Scott’s Alien and James Cameron’s Aliens. The director took to Instagram and uploaded a variety of conceptual art pieces, all of which featured iconic characters, sets, and of course, aliens. Unfortunately the project was never officially announced as being greenlit. In fact, it’s gone through stages of complete silence in recent years. It seems to be the consensus that Ridley Scott had the project completely scrapped so he could continue his series of Prometheus sequels, and now Blomkamp has come out…

The third season of Starz’ series Ash vs. Evil Dead, based on Sam Raimi’s cult classic The Evil Dead and its sequels, has brought nothing but bad news for the franchise. While the episodes continue to be critical successes, the ratings are another story entirely. And, unfortunately for the show, they continue to spiral downward. The latest episode reached a mere 136,000 viewers, the lowest number the series has ever seen. While this doesn’t quite signal the end for the series, it’s still a very important time to prove its worth. In fact, Bruce Campbell explained this during the New…

The latest Dwayne Johnson movie Rampage has finally hit, and it has one thing in common with one of Johnson’s earlier films. They both happen to be video game adaptations. Unfortunately the other film happens to be 2005’s DOOM; a lackluster attempt at loosely adapting the iconic game franchise with the same name. While DOOM will forever be remembered as one of the worst video game adaptations of all time, it’s actually not alone in being hated. A lot of the time game adaptations fail to receive any kind of critical or fan acclaim, and given how Rampage is doing…

Everyone is getting hyped for Avengers: Infinity War, which is quickly coming together for its impending release date. As such, we’re receiving endless new promos and trailers that are giving us more insight into just how the movie will unfold. In the latest spot we get to see how Peter Parker aka Spider-Man meets Peter Quill aka Star-Lord. Quill, otherwise known as Star-Lord, has a rather feisty start meeting Parker. Eager to explain himself, Parker makes note that he’s one of the Avengers. “I’m with the Avengers, man.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_THiHTtt2Y&app=desktop Thor then explains who the Avengers are, and asks Star-Lord for…

We’re on the fast track now to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’s release date. In order to pump up audiences for the new (and likely final) trailer that’ll hit this Wednesday, Universal has released another promo with all sorts of new footage. And it has a lot of emphasis on the film’s horror elements. The new @JurassicWorld #FallenKingdom trailer is coming Wednesday. pic.twitter.com/2xUHVJlqIx — Jurassic World (@JurassicWorld) April 13, 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qnWM2HWpCU It opens with a shot of Chris Pratt’s character and a rather unstable T-Rex, before giving us a look at some of the film’s other dinosaur baddies. This includes the…

3 From Hell, the latest entry in Rob Zombie’s most iconic franchise which started with House of 1000 Corpses, is finally in the can. It seems like the movie really hit the fast track when it was first rumored to be in the works, and throughout all the casting announcements each one seemed like a dream come true. Now it seems like Otis Driftwood actor Bill Moseley has some new praise for the film. Moseley began by explaining how exhausted he was after putting so much work into the movie; and that he’s also very happy with the results. He…

Shane Black’s reboot of the iconic sci-fi/action Predator franchise in The Predator is one of the most anticipated sequels out there. While the movie won’t be out until the end of this year, it was actually planned for a release this past February. The movie had been delayed for a series of reshoots, and while it has some fans worried, star Keegan-Michael Key assures everyone it’s for the best. In fact, he’s revealed to Cinema Blend that nearly the entire third act was changed. “We just finished [reshoots] last week, and just about three-quarters of the third act was rewritten.…

Everyone seems to be caught up in the hype for IT and its upcoming sequel, both of which are adaptations of Stephen King’s iconic story. As such, everyone seems to be referencing Pennywise and his horrific story in all forms of pop culture. This applies to the video game industry as well, seeing how Ubisoft referenced IT in Far Cry 5. As of right now, there are only two known Easter eggs; both of which hint at Pennywise with his trademark red balloon and the sense that something dark and evil is going on behind the scenes. Probably a legit…
