Micro-budget filmmaker and lover of all things horror.

It’s already been seven years since A Nightmare on Elm Street was remade in 2010, and the franchise has since been dormant. Every few years talk comes up that New Line Cinema is working on another film, and despite the lack of news, it looks like that’s still the case. The new film is currently being written by David Leslie Johnson. According to Bloody-Disgusting, Johnson, who also wrote The Conjuring 2, is still attached to the project. But with the writer now attached to write The Conjuring 3 for New Line, it may be awhile before he gets to focus…

Now that Deadpool 2 has started production, we’re finally getting pieces of the behind-the-scenes action. And now actor Josh Brolin, who’s set to play the character of Cable, has teased his own transformation into the character. You can see a picture below of Brolin in the makeup chair getting into the Cable look. Here’s what Brolin had to say about the makeup process: “Insanity on the brink. Face is morphing into something machine, fierce, hair sliced, arm machined, bulged. Where is Deadpool?!? Looking. Looking. All I got are these two…molding me, prodding, turning me into something hard. @bcorso #mikesmithson #deadpool…

We finally have an answer regarding Sony’s new Venom movie, and whether or not Spider-Man will appear alongside Tom Hardy’s Eddie Brock. It’s been confusing trying to comprehend how these spin-offs would use Spider-Man, if at all. For example, Venom’s original from the comics is almost entirely based around Spider-Man. It’s baffling to see how else such a character could work. And now, according to Kevin Feige, it looks like they’ll be disregarding Spider-Man completely. While speaking to Variety, he had this to say: “No,” he started when asked about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man making an appearance. “No, I think they’re…

This morning marked the premiere for both the green and red band trailers for Cult of Chucky – the newest entry in the Child’s Play franchise. Below you can view the red band trailer, which is slightly longer than the green band, and introduces a couple of gory shots that really imply this film to be the goriest entry yet. As you can see, this trailer is insane, and really proves there’s still blood in this franchise yet. You just can’t keep a Good Guy down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXdgjFtKGSY&feature=youtu.be As creator Don Mancini said in a recent interview, the film will be…

News has broken out that the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s It will be rated R. Although the original miniseries adaptation has become very iconic, it’s suffered from quite a few complications that kept it from being a faithful retelling of the book. And this stems, of course, from television censorship. Those familiar with King’s original novel will remember it is not a story for kids. There’s plenty of violence, gore, language, and sexual content. All of which can’t normally be shown on television. Now, according to Bloody-Disgusting, the new It adaptation won’t have a problem with censorship. The official…

Although The Mummy has been unwrapping fine over seas, it still has been suffering a financial loss domestically. A shame considering this was Universal’s attempt at relaunching their catalogue of classic monsters. Their goal was to create a shared universe in the vein of Marvel’s own superhero franchise. Unfortunately one must wonder if this franchise will still happen with this low of a box office intake. The Mummy has only earned $57 million in America since its release two weeks ago. It’s also received nothing but negative reviews from critics and fans, having been called Tom Cruise’s worst film. Internationally,…

It looks like Phil Lord and Chris Miller are no longer attached to the upcoming Han Solo film. “Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are talented filmmakers who have assembled an incredible cast and crew, but it’s become clear that we had different creative visions on this film, and we’ve decided to part ways. A new director will be announced soon,” said Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. The two directors have responded by saying: “Unfortunately, our vision and process weren’t aligned with our partners on this project. We normally aren’t fans of the phrase ‘creative differences’ but for once this cliché is…

Fans were initially excited to see what Spider-Man would bring to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, only to find out characters like Venom were still being held by Sony in an attempt to create their own franchise parallel of Marvel’s. It’s been enough to confuse even the most dedicated of comic book fans, considering Spider-Man is a character essential to the Venom mythos and it doesn’t make sense to see him exist without our beloved web slinger. It especially has been mind boggling considering how successful Spider-Man’s inclusion in Captain America: Civil War was, and how successful his upcoming solo film…
