Netflix has released the first official trailer for 1922, a feature-film adaptation of Stephen King’s novella of the same name. And it’s definitely a sign the film has come along nicely. Actor Thomas Jane plays the lead role, which is quite interesting as Jane has also starred in Stephen King adaptations The Mist and Dreamcatcher. It’s fun getting to see him return to the world of King, considering that it’s been ten years since The Mist was released. Check out the trailer below! In 1922, the story opens with the confession of Wilfred James to the murder of his wife,…

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…
