In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be discussing Paul W.S. Anderson’s ambitious crossover, Alien vs Predator. At first glance, Alien vs Predator sounds like an incredibly obvious idea. After all, both intellectual properties are conveniently owned by the same parent company and occupy equally iconic spaces in popular culture (they’re also simultaneously aliens and predators, adding to the similarities). Of course, the deeper you dig, the more you’ll realize that these franchises are fundamentally different in ways that really make you appreciate how writers had to creatively bend...

The Halloween Ends trailer is finally here and at long last, Michael Myers and Laurie Strode are going to do battle until the bitter, bloody end. The footage is a quick montage of scenes that culminates with the long-promised battle between Michael and Laurie, ending with the Shape trying to shove her hand into the garbage disposal. After the duo’s fights in Halloween, Halloween II, Halloween H20, Halloween: Resurrection, Halloween (2018), and Halloween Kills, will evil finally die tonight? Director David Gordon Green has recently teased that there will be...

The most anticipated horror movie of the summer arrives in theaters, but it’s hardly the only new release available this week. In addition to Jordan Peele‘s NOPE, there are four more horror movies debuting, from found footage nightmares to horror westerns. Here’s all the new horror releasing July 19-22, 2022…. The week’s releases kick off with a trip to outer space; Amityville in Space takes the horror franchise to new frontiers. It’s currently available on VOD and DVD. “The ultimate battle against the Amityville curse begins after the infamous murder house...

The logline for writer/director Berkley Brady’s directorial feature debut Dark Nature describes it as “the story of a therapy group that is forced to confront the monsters of their past when an isolated weekend retreat tests their emotional resilience and ability to survive.” That’s pretty apt, albeit with one small issue: the Canadian film – with its all-female cast, wilderness setting and trauma-centric narrative – very closely resembles Neil Marshall’s The Descent, aka one of contemporary horror’s most iconic films. Like it or not, comparisons between the two films are...

Rob Zombie has been teasing his take on The Munsters for over a year now. Updates have been cryptic, at best, with Zombie pretending to be in production up until a few weeks ago and a trailer released just last week. When the news of The Munsters originally leaked, it was confirmed to be a Universal Home Entertainment production with plans to release on the studio’s Peacock streaming service. Bloody Disgusting exclusively reported back in May that the film had since been sold to Netflix and will premiere this coming fall....

We’ve been waiting for what seems like years for Airdorf’s third chapter in FAITH: The Unholy Trinity. Thankfully, it looks like we’ll finally get our hands on it very soon. Airdorf took to Twitter last night to state that Chapter III of FAITH: The Unholy Trinity is “finished”. Well, technically. “As of now you can play FAITH: Chapter III from beginning to end without any (game breaking) bugs,” according to the developer. This is basically complete, but still needs to be polished and tested before being given the ‘OK’ for...

It’s hard to argue that Resident Evil isn’t the king of Survival Horror. And fans know that Capcom’s Sweet Home is considered one of the granddaddies of the genre. But it’d be nice if a studio paid tribute to the latter for once, wouldn’t it? That’s what Spiral Bound Interactive are doing with their newly-announced Survival Horror title in You Will Die Here Tonight. Set to arrive in Fall 2022 on Steam, You Will Die Here Tonight mixes aspects of Sweet Home with Resident Evil: players will guide six members...

XYZ Films’ feature, which is written and directed by Estes, features Estes’ musician wife Gretchen Lieberum and their children, Iris Serena Estes and Lucas Steel Estes, will be landing on VOD next Thursday, July 21. “Starting off as a project to stave off the boredom of lockdown, He’s Watching was filmed during the height of COVID-19 and quickly turned into a fully-fledged horror film. “When the happy-go-lucky...

20th Century Studios brings Dan Trachtenberg‘s (10 Cloverfield Lane) Prey exclusively to Hulu on August 5, but where does the film take place within the larger Predator universe? Speaking with SFX Magazine for their latest issue, Trachtenberg explains that while Prey does indeed take place long before the original Predator, it’s not an origin story prequel. “I want to specifically say this, because I think there’s been some confusion how people have understood: in my mind, this is not a prequel movie, this isn’t, ‘Let’s tell the origin of the Predator.’ This is really...

Resident Evil may be best known for re-popularizing zombies in media, but hardcore fans know that the franchise is chock-full of other monsters that have been terrifying gamers and moviegoers alike during the franchise’s quarter-century existence. From undead animals to cybernetic monstrosities, there seems to be no limit to RE’s penchant for creative enemy designs. That’s why we’ve come up with this list celebrating six of the scariest Resident Evil monsters in honor of Netflix’s new adaptation. After all, horror franchises are only as good as their monstrous antagonists, and...

The film is already deep into production and yet the entire cast has not been revealed. In fact, Bloody Disgusting can exclusively report that horror maven Samara Weaving (Ready or Not, Mayhem, The Babysitter, “Ash vs Evil Dead”) has joined the cast of Scream 6 alongside Spider-Man: Homecoming & No Way Home‘s Tony Revolori.

At about 40 minutes into the runtime of the Spanish psychological horror thriller Shrew’s Nest, our main character Montse (played with tragic tenacity by Macarena Gómez) allows herself a chance at feeling vulnerable in a revealing conversation with her younger sister. Montse, who has raised her as her own after the death of their parents, opens up about her severe agoraphobia that prevents her from even poking her head out into the staircase outside their Madrid apartment. “I’ve turned this house into a giant coffin from which I cannot escape.”...
