John Logan’s Gothic horror drama “Penny Dreadful” retooled classic literary horror figures in a captivating, poignant way by exploring the ethos of monsters. For his directorial feature debut, Logan sets his sights on a familiar horror mainstay: the summer camp slasher. They/Them, pronounced “They-slash-Them,” takes place at an LGBTQIA+ conversion summer camp. It emphasizes its robust ensemble character roster over slasher thrills, making for a more compelling character study than a straightforward horror movie. Save for a requisite opening kill, They/Them immediately unloads a bus full of unwilling and uneager campers at Whistler Camp....

Some of the most unsettling moments in Jordan Peele‘s Nope don’t come from the sky but from the past. Steven Yuen‘s Ricky ‘Jupe’ Park harbors a very traumatic past as a child actor who experienced tragedy on the set of the sitcom “Gordy’s Home!” told in flashbacks. Today Peele took to Twitter to reveal the fictional sitcom’s opening credits, giving more context to Gordy the chimpanzee: pic.twitter.com/gGH6OrtwFW — Jordan Peele (@JordanPeele) July 24, 2022 Some spoilers ahead for Nope. In Jupe’s flashbacks, the sound of a balloon popping during the filming of a birthday-themed...

“Hey, I’m Chucky, wanna prey?” SYFY the other day announced that “Chucky” will be back this coming Halloween season, with Season 2 of Don Mancini‘s hit series officially set to premiere on October 5, 2022! On the heels of a huge Saturday night at the San Diego Comic-Con, SYFY drops the full trailer for the second season of “Chucky”, which is loaded with great Chucky one-liners and the tease of the promised return of Glen and Glenda (above), the genderfluid child of Chucky and Tiffany, referenced in the first season of “Chucky” but not...

It’s been a while since we’ve heard an update on Andrew Lincoln reprising “The Walking Dead” character Rick Grimes for a planned continuation of his story. Today, the actor was joined by Danai Gurira at San Diego Comic-Con for massive news; they’re teaming up on a brand new series set in “The Walking Dead” universe that will continue the love story between their characters. The untitled series presents “an epic love story of two characters changed by a changed world. Kept apart by distance. By an unstoppable power. By the ghosts of who they were. Rick...

After coming up against Mothra, Ghidorah and King Kong, Godzilla was primed and ready to take on the most challenging enemy in his career so far — pollution. The last stretch of Godzilla’s Shōwa period kicked off with an environmentally conscious entry in the spirit of the 1954 film. And, as to be expected from a franchise founded on an allegory for nuclear times, the best way to address any kind of prevalent problem in the world of Godzilla is to turn it into a terrible monster. The villain of...

People often seek answers from God in times of strife and anguish. But what would happen if God physically answered? Perhaps the more pertinent question; which God heeded the call? Director Rebekah McKendry’s Glorious frames a single location genre-bender around these questions, creating a darkly comedic and bloody cosmic journey for a man trapped in a restroom. Wes (Ryan Kwanten) is a complete mess after a breakup. He clings to the teddy bear his lost love gave him and aimlessly lives out of his car. The morning after a particularly rough emotional episode...

Olivia Wilde (Booksmart) directed and also stars in Don’t Worry Darling for New Line Cinema, coming to theaters on September 23, 2022. A brand new trailer released today gives a more unsettling look at the cracks forming beneath the seemingly perfect suburban life. Watch the Don’t Worry Darling trailer below, taking us back to the 1950s for a thriller that plunges Florence Pugh into compelling mystery. Gemma Chan (“Crazy Rich Asians”), KiKi Layne (“The Old Guard”) and Chris Pine (“All the Old Knives”) also star in Don’t Worry Darling, billed as “twisted” and “visually stunning.” Here’s the full plot synopsis… “Alice (Pugh)...

In the opening scene of Andy Mitton’s The Harbinger, a masked man enters a woman’s apartment to find her screaming and clawing at her arm so tightly that it’s dripping blood. He’s the landlord, and she’s having a nightmare of a predatory Plague Doctor. It’s standard horror stuff, but when the exhausted woman is awoken, she hastily apologizes and quickly dons her own cloth mask…because the film is set during lockdown. There has been no shortage of COVID-era films, but The Harbinger feels like one of the few that engages...

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....
