Last month, it was revealed that Supermassive Games, aka the folks behind The Dark Pictures Anthology, had trademarked a new title by the name of The Quarry. There wasn’t much more info about the project at the time, but that all changes tomorrow. Supermassive Games took to Twitter to announce that they’ll be revealing The Quarry tomorrow, an “all-new horror experience“, tomorrow at 9am PT/12pm ET. The game will be published by 2K Games, and is coming this Summer. As for what The Quarry is about, that’s where the speculation...

January is so often seen as a dumping ground for films that studios have little faith in, either for any awards consideration or box office success. If a film isn’t Oscar bait or likely to be a summer blockbuster, January is where they’re dropped. To be fair, there is at least some truth in this. It tends to be a season of “low brow” comedies, middling dramas, and tepid romances. That said, it can also be fertile ground for niche science fiction and horror films that are willing to take...

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be covering Shane Black’s underappreciated 2018 sequel/reboot, The Predator. The Predator franchise has always walked the line between action and horror, with most of the films being structured like sci-fi slashers where the victims are just badass enough to have a fighting chance. This is obviously a delicate balance, and I don’t think any of the sequels have quite managed to replicate the legendary thrills of John McTiernan’s 1987 original. That being said, some entries have come close, and I’d go so...

The Black Michael Myers? The Black Freddy Krueger?” recalls co-writer...

No matter the production, whether it’s a small indie horror movie or a summer blockbuster, actor Nicolas Cage always turns in a memorable performance. He’s a Hollywood performer and icon like no other, which means only Cage could take on a role like the lead in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. The meta-action comedy sees Cage playing a fictionalized version of himself that ultimately plays like a heartfelt tribute to the cinematic great’s career, even some of the horror highs and lows. Cage plays Nick Cage, a cash-strapped actor struggling to make...

I have always been a fan of that most improbable of all subgenres, the horror comedy. It has been around for a very long time, dating back to the silent era with The Cat and the Canary and the early talkies with James Whale’s genre twisting films like The Old Dark House and Bride of Frankenstein. In the late 40’s, comedy team Abbott and Costello met most of the classic monsters before Roger Corman twisted the nose of the subgenre with A Bucket of Blood and The Little Shop of...

The new season finds the team making a triumphant return to Washington State’s Olympic...

A livestreaming internet personality running afoul of vengeful spirits in real-time reads like a recognizable setup, especially in the found footage category. Deadstream isn’t interested in retreading familiar ground, though. Writers/Directors Vanessa Winter and Joseph Winter eschew expectations and instead deliver a delightfully raucous splatstick horror-comedy that’ll leave the midnight crowd cheering for more. In addition to co-writing, co-directing, co-editing, producing, and handling the music for Deadstream, Joseph Winter also stars as Shawn. Shawn is a disgraced influencer and online personality trying to recover his follower count and sponsorship after a stunt gone wrong. He attempts to...

The latest actor to sign on for the Sam Raimi-produced action thriller Boy Kills World is Michelle Dockery (“Downton Abbey”), Deadline is reporting this afternoon. Deadline notes, “Michelle Dockery will play the sister of the film’s Van der Koy family. Melanie is a satirical powerhouse and sociopath who tries to project a powerful cohesive family image to hide the desperation behind their decaying dynasty.” Famke Janssen (The Postcard Killings) and Sharlto Copley (District 9) joined the cast earlier this week, along with Brett Gelman (Stranger Things), Quinn Copeland (Peacock’s Punky Brewster), and twins Cameron and Nicholas Crovetti (Big...
