Dracula Untold will act as a prologue to Universal’s new monster universe

It will tie into the upcoming rebooted monster universe because, you know, just in case.

With Dracula Untold about to hit theaters next week, we’re just now catching wind of a very interesting slice of news about the origin tale as it will apparently tie into the newly rebooted monster universe from Universal. The studio recently announced that they were going to revamp their iconic monster catalogue by bringing some of their most famous of creations back to life so that they could coexist within the same universe. Cool, right?

Review: Open Windows, a uniquely cluttered thriller

Nacho Vigalondo’s thriller Open Windows is a unique little film that comes off like Rear Window for the digital age as we see a man, Nick, get trapped in a wicked game of cat and mouse when a psychopath named Chord attempts to carry out a plan to hunt down a movie star, all within the screen of a laptop.

Franck Khalfoun’s Amityville has been delayed. But why?

Were you looking forward to the new Amityville film? Too bad!

The Franck Khalfoun-directed sorta-sequel Amityville: The Awakening was due to hit theaters in a few months on January 2nd, 2015. The hype machine officially kicked into gear back in August when Dimension Films released the first trailer, and despite being a somewhat underwhelming first look, it managed to get a lot of people excited to enter the Amityville house once again. So why the delay?

Ruben Fleischer back to direct the Zombieland sequel

Get ready for more slow motion zombie strippers!

It looks like the folks over at Sony Pictures have finally decided to get their collective heads out of their asses and move forward with a Zombieland sequel. To show how serious they are about the project, they’ve gone on and not only hired a writer, but they’ve brought back Ruben Fleischer, who directed the first film. Dave Callaham (The Expendables) will pen the script under the supervision of Fleischer.

Charlotte’s Song trailer is no fairytale

What if The Little Mermaid was a horror flick?

Well, I can’t say I saw this coming. Just when you think you’ve seen all the genre has to offer, someone reimagines The Little Mermaid under a horrific light that echoes elements of Pan’s Labyrinth and Carnivale. That someone is director Nicholas Humphries, who spins a gritty tale set in the 1930s about a young girl who discovers that she, much like her mother before her, is a mermaid capable of terrible things. There’s actually a trailer that proves this movie exists and it’s surprisingly gorgeous, and just as terrifying.

John Goodman locks Mary Elizabeth Winstead in The Cellar

Being locked in a cellar with John Goodman isn’t such a bad thing, is it?

The Cellar is a very unique sounding slice of psychological horror, directed by Dan Trachtenberg, that takes place within the walls of an underground cellar. Its purpose? A chemical attack on the outside world has left it uninhabitable, leaving only the well-prepared alive. That in and of itself isn’t all that exciting, nor is it a unique premise, but there’s an interesting twist to the J.J. Abrams-produced thriller that really makes this one stand out.

Teaser poster for Insidious: Chapter 3 warns of something in your room

Leigh Whannell goes into the further alone.

The next chapter in the Insidious franchise sees Leigh Whannell, who co-wrote and starred in the previous two films, take the helm now that James Wan has opted to use his talents outside of the realm of horror. With a release date already set for May 29th, 2015, Insidious: Chapter 3 is moving along nicely and today we’ve got our first teaser poster for the film. While it’s not the greatest, the art does display some very creepy text that warns of something living in the vents of your room.

Trailer for vampire mockumentary What We Do In The Shadows

Some interviews with some vampires.

The vampire genre has been part of cinema for as long as film could run through a camera, so it’s kind of astonishing to see filmmakers continuing to push the boundaries, coming up with new ways to tell the age-old tale of bloodsuckers. Filmmakers  Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s new addition to the storied genre have taken a much different, lighter route to the oldest of monsters as their story follows a a documentary crew taking an inside look at the lives of three vampires who are hundreds of years old. It’s such a ridiculous setup that the only way you can really pull it off is to do it with comedy, and Clement and Waititi have done just that.

You’re Next director to remake the brilliant Korean thriller I Saw The Devil

These are the guys brave enough to remake a Korean masterpiece.

A remake to  Kim Ji-woon’s brilliant thriller I Saw the Devil has been in the works for quite a while as we’ve known about its unfortunate existence for about a year now. Since then, however, the Americanized remake has been tight-lipped with next to nothing to offer as far as details go. Well, readers, that has all changed today with word coming out of Deadline that the I Saw the Devil remake has found a couple of guys who are willing to remake one of the great modern day thrillers of our time. And so it begins.

Review: Honeymoon tears love apart

Leigh Janiak’s haunting debut, Honeymoon, slowly peels back the layers of a relationship that gets torn apart in terrifying fashion as two newlyweds see their honeymoon descend into chaos after Paul discovers Bea wandering the woods in the middle of the night. Although this marks the first notch in her directorial debut, Janiak shows patience behind the camera as she masterfully builds eerie tension before unleashing a horrifying final act. Honeymoon is a genre bending slice of cinema that will have you guessing until the very end.

Fall Horror Movie Preview

This Fall is going to be scary, very scary.

With September already here and October just around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at the genre titles heading our way now that the Fall season is starting to settle in. It’s a good thing that the genre finally decided to show up because the last couple of months have been severely lacking in good horror titles. But not only is it exciting that we have a lot of films to look forward to, this is the first time in quite a while that we’re seeing September, and especially October, being taken over by the genre. It’s a strange thing, really, when you think about how rare it is to see a new horror film get a release during the Fall season. Why is that? Whatever the reason may be, it looks like 2014 is going to be the year that changes all of that. Between now and Halloween, we’ll see over 15 new horror films. This is a list of what should be on your radar. (Click the titles for a trailer).

History repeats itself in The Town That Dreaded Sundown trailer

The remake that isn’t really a remake to Charles B. Pierce’s 1976 slasher gets a trailer.

Texerkana will be visited by a masked madman once again in the Alfonso Gomez-Rejon-directed slasher The Town That Dreaded Sundown. Here’s a little bit of a horror movie confession for you: I’ve actually never seen the original film. It’s one of those movies that hardly anyone talks about (unless they really know their shit), so for some reason The Town That Dreaded Sundown has always eluded me. I’ve only recently become aware of the film, which is surprising because not only does it sound like a genuinely creepy slasher, but it has one of the best movie titles ever. The Town That Dreaded Sundown. It’s so good!

Hell awaits the trailer for Asmodexia

A man and his granddaughter exorcise some demons.

Although Asmodexia has been quietly stirring up the genre for the last few months, it appears to be picking up some steam now that IFC Midnight has finally slated it with a release date. Hailing from Spain, Asmodexia marks the feature film debut from Marc Carrete, who has spun a unique looking tale of possession and the journey of those trying to rid their country of its evil. While I think the trailer could use some work, it does a good job of peeling back the layers of the story, showing us why Carrete’s feature debut is one worth keeping an eye on.

Room 237 director explores real-life nightmares in new horror documentary

Rodney Ascher’s new documentary is all about nightmares, the real ones.

Last year, Ascher delivered the weird and mostly fascinating documentary Room 237, which peeled back the various layers of some seriously bat-shit interpretations of Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. His new film, The Nightmare, is a documentary in which he investigates the demonic visions experienced by victims of sleep paralysis and provoked by Ascher’s own unsettling experiences with the condition.

Annabelle and her terrifying true story

The true story of a doll harnessing a demonic spirit, waiting to possess a human soul.

Annabelle hardly needs an introduction as we were first introduced to her in James Wan’s hit haunter, The Conjuring. Annabelle was such a terrifying force in Wan’s film that despite her lack of screen time, she still managed to get her very own feature film—directed by John R. Leonetti—that hits theaters on October 3rd.

Review: Killers offers a brutal look at the killer inside us all

Killers comes to us from the twisted minds of Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto, or otherwise known as The Mo Brothers, who have been behind some truly twisted genre offerings like Macabre and last year’s Safe Haven segment in V/H/S 2. They return to the world of horror with Killers, delivering a nerve-shattering look into the mind of a serial killer and the lives he takes along the way. The film centers itself on a man named Nomura, who films himself brutally murdering young women that he has lured into his home. He uploads the videos to a website for anyone with a particularly twisted mind to watch. In doing so, Nomura triggers the dark side of a journalist, Bayu, who had been watching the serial killer’s videos. This leads to them meeting over the Internet, creating a complicated bond that destroys everything around them.

Paul Hyett has a date with werewolves on a train in Howl!

This is going to be glorious.

There’s exactly two reasons why the horror world should be paying attention to Howl. The first one is obvious: It’s about werewolves. And the second? Well, that goes to Mr. Paul Hyett. You may not be familiar with the name but you’ve no doubt seen his work in dozens of films. Hyett is the terrifying mind behind the SFX on films like The Descent, Attack the Block, Doomsday and so much more. And that doesn’t even scratch the surface. He recently took his talents behind the camera of his feature film debut with a little film called The Seasoning House, which is a vicious in-your-face tale of revenge, proving that Hyett has a voice in the genre worth listening to.

Real evil lies inside the trailer for Amityville: The Awakening

A Maniac takes on the iconic haunted house.

When word of a new take on the Amityville franchise first broke we got the same ol’ reaction these franchises tend to get—leave it alone already!? I felt the same way, honestly, because this iconic series has been more bad than good over the years, and the last thing we needed was another mediocre take on the “true story”. Enter Maniac director Franck Khalfoun and you’ve got entirely different beast, however. His latest horror outing, the remake of  William Lustig’s 1980 cult slasher, proved that Khalfoun knows how to unravel a tale of suspense that is both bloody as hell and just as disturbing. Essentially, he’s the kind of director you want steering a franchise like this one. Now, we have a trailer for Amityville: The Awakening, giving us our very first look at what Khalfoun has in store. How does it look? I’ll get to that.
