While we already knew the latest Child’s Play sequel Cult of Chucky would be releasing on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital on October 3, IGN also reports the film will be premiering on Netflix the same date! In the latest sequel, “Confined to an asylum for the criminally insane for the past four years, Nica Pierce is erroneously convinced that she, not Chucky, murdered her entire family. But when her psychiatrist introduces a new therapeutic “tool” to facilitate his patients’ group sessions — an all-too-familiar “Good Guy” doll with an innocently smiling face — a string of grisly deaths begins to…

Terminator 6 continues to gather franchise veterans. Not only are Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Cameron returning to work on the film, but star Linda Hamilton is back too! According to THR, the actress is set to reprise her role as Sarah Connor from the original two films. “As meaningful as she was to gender and action stars everywhere back then, it’s going to make a huge statement to have that seasoned warrior that she’s become return,” Cameron announced tonight at a special event. “There are 50-year-old, 60-year-old guys out there killing bad guys, but there isn’t an example of that…

With Jennifer Lawrence being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood right now, and Darren Aronofsky one of its most celebrated modern directors – you’d think a collaboration between the two would be well-received. Apparently that’s not the case with Mother!. The film has been met with grave reactions by audiences. In fact it’s not only lost at the box office, but received a rare F rating from CinemaScore. The damage was so unsettling that even Paramount Pictures has developed a response to the backlash. The response comes straight from Megan Colligan, the president of marketing and distribution at Paramount…

The Horror genre is one that boasts an incredible category of films to choose from. There’s movies like The Silence of the Lambs and The Exorcist that everyone knows about and constantly refer to as the greatest of their kind. There are also the types of films that prospered during the 1980s which were met with controversy and concern, such as Friday the 13th and Silent Night, Deadly Night. But what other types of films could there be? A lot it seems, many of which were even sleazier and more unpredictable than the last. And, in this list, I’d like…

Andy Muschietti’s adaptation of IT is still breaking box office records.

The film has also become the highest-grossing…

There’s an exciting rumor breaking way for fans of the Friday the 13th franchise. After what seems like a dozen false startups, we may finally be getting a new Friday the 13th film since Platinum Dunes rebooted the property in 2009. Paramount previously regained the Friday the 13th franchise in 2013, where they were given 5 years to do what they wished with the property. Unfortunately they continued to stall production on the new film until ultimately cancelling it in 2017. The final nail in the coffin was when Rings, the long-awaited sequel to The Ring and The Ring 2,…

With IT still tearing through the Box Office, there’s still matters regarding what was cut from the theatrical release. One such scene was revealed by Bill Skarsgård, which would’ve elaborated on how IT decided to take the form of a clown – while speaking with Variety: “There was a scene we shot that was a flashback from the 1600s, before Pennywise [was Pennywise],” Skarsgard said. “The scene turned out really, really disturbing. And I’m not the clown. I look more like myself. It’s very disturbing, and sort of a backstory for what It is, or where Pennywise came from. That…
