After forging a successful partnership on Ready or Not, director of photography Brett Jutkiewicz reunited with Radio Silence — the production collective of co-directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett and producer Chad Villella — on Scream (2022). He then followed the team from rural Woodsboro to the mean streets of New York City to shoot Scream VI. “I remember watching the original Scream as a teenager and realizing that it was something new and different and special. I hadn’t seen anything like that, and I followed the franchise from there,”...

A small island off the coast of Ireland becomes ground zero to an alien invasion. These tentacled monsters,...

There was a time when I personally believed that Resident Evil 4 never needed a remake. The original game that was released in 2005 has held up fantastically over the years and become such an influence on third-person action and horror games. Hell, we’re still seeing that influence in the series today as the exceptional remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 3 ditched the traditional style fixed camera angles in favor of the over-the-shoulder view that Resident Evil 4 popularized. So when Capcom announced that a remake of their seminal...

Few titles have redefined the horror genre like Scream. Wes Craven’s original film premiered in 1996 and promptly unleashed a wave of teen meta-slashers that would dominate the genre for the remainder of the decade. From the filmmaking collective Radio Silence, Scream VI manages to strike the perfect balance of homage to the past while moving the story forward. We won’t reveal spoilers here, but the film features an unprecedented reverence to all nine of the Ghostface killers who’ve come before with a museum-like shrine including their individual costumes, weapons,...

The impact of George A. Romero’s Dead movies reached far and wide. After 1968’s Night of the Living Dead defined the modern zombie as we know it, 1978’s Dawn of the Dead kick-started zombie cinema in earnest. Not only did it herald a horde of undead movies domestically, the infection spread internationally — although the outbreak took longer to reach some regions than others. While Italy was first to strike with Lucio Fulci’s Zombie in 1979, Hong Kong wouldn’t get its first zombie movie until two decades later. A zombie...

With the Sam Raimi-produced 65 now playing in theaters, genre fans are getting something we’ve been craving for years – a big budget dinosaur thriller NOT part of the Jurassic Park franchise. The film’s premise of an astronaut crash landing on Earth during the age of the dinosaurs sounds exactly like something that would have hit theaters and drive-ins back in the 60s and 70s when a healthy stream of dinosaur themed B-movie fare was released. 65 seems like a perfect genre mash-up of sci-fi and survival horror. Back in...

Six years after Denis Villeneuve’s feature film Blade Runner 2049, Blade Runner is headed to the small screen in Amazon’s Blade Runner 2099, and THR reports tonight that Jeremy Podeswa (“Game of Thrones”) has signed on to direct the pilot episode. Additionally, Podeswa will also “serve as producing director and an executive producer.” Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) is executive producing the live action series, with Blade Runner 2099 said to be a follow-up to Blade Runner 2049. “The latest installment of the neo-noir sci-fi franchise will be set 50 years after the film sequel.” Blade...

A second season of AMC’s “Interview with the Vampire” is on the way, and Deadline reports today that Ben Daniels (FOX’s “The Exorcist”) is joining the cast in the new season. Ben Daniels is said to have a “key recurring role” in Season 2. Deadline details, “Daniels plays Santiago, the leading vamp thespian of the Theatre des Vampires who grows increasingly suspicious of the American vampires Louis and Claudia.” The series, which debuted last year, is a “modern, unforgettable retelling of Anne Rice’s best-selling novel.” Rolin Jones (“Friday Night Lights”)...

Despite the spooky séance setup in Brooklyn 45, writer/director Ted Geoghegan (We Are Still Here, Mohawk) is less interested in exploring a literal interpretation of ghosts. Instead, the filmmaker connects the ghosts of our past as a metaphor for present-day national turmoil and paranoia. The period set chamber piece gives precedence to fraught tension among friends over conventional scares. It’s December 27, 1945, mere months after the official end of World War II. The nation is still reeling, but for Lt. Col. Clive “Hawk” Hockstatter (Larry Fessenden), it’s even worse; he lost...

If you’re already experiencing The Last of Us withdrawals after the finale, let SCREAMBOX fill the post-apocalyptic void in your life with The Island. Known internationally as Sløborn, the series combines elements of disaster thriller, coming-of-age drama, dystopian sci-fi, and survival horror. The German-Danish co-production was created by filmmaker Christian Alvart, who directed the genre films Pandorum, Case 39, and Antibodies before creating Netflix’s Dogs of Berlin. It’s never been easy to be a teenager, but it’s particularly difficult for Gen Z, who are doomed to reckon with fears of...

As expected, the Radio Silence-directed Scream VI is another box office win for the franchise, the sixth installment surpassing the opening weekends of every other Scream movie. At this time it’s being reported that Scream VI scared up $44.5 million in theaters here in the United States this weekend, compared to last year’s $30 million opening for Scream 5. This gives Scream VI the highest opening weekend of any film in the entire Scream franchise, far surpassing previous record holder Scream 3 and its $34 million opening. Here are the...

Lulu Wilson tapped into a primal ferocity for her turn as the enraged teen taking down violent home intruders in 2020’s Becky. Its follow-up, The Wrath of Becky, reveals that the time passed between films hasn’t diminished the teen’s volatile rage in the slightest. Armed with John Wick-like motivation, Becky plunges into a new vengeful quest that provokes more violence, bloodletting, and a higher body count. This time a more well-rounded sense of humor offsets her wrath. Writer/Directors Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote recalibrate the tone straightaway with a humorous reintroduction to the title character. It’s been two...
