Ever since the film’s release way back in 2007, Rob Zombie‘s polarizing Halloween remake has reigned supreme over the Labor Day Weekend box office, pulling in $30,591,759 domestically back in 2007. Zombie’s Halloween went on to make $58 million domestically and $80 million worldwide, making it a massive hit that helped kick-start the franchise back to life. Fourteen years later, Bloody Disgusting extends congratulations to Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which has done something no movie (including Christopher Nolan’s Tenet last year) has been able to do: take...

Vampires have been lurking in the shadows of our scary stories for thousands of years, finding their way into several different cultures and eventually turning into movie stars. With so many variations of these legends, it’s only natural that some of the specifics behind this classic monster often seem silly when judged by modern standards. If you think about it, from crippling garlic allergies to needing an invitation every time you want to enter a building, being a vampire might not be as fun as it sounds. Of course, leave...

My personal favorite horror movie of 2021 so far is Prano Bailey-Bond‘s Censor (now available on VOD), a haunting feature debut that takes you on a nightmarish descent through the lens of the “Video Nasty” panic of the 1980s. Censor is coming to DVD from Magnolia Pictures on September 14, and today we’ve learned that a 4K Ultra HD release is also on the way. Vinegar Syndrome just announced the formation of Vinegar Syndrome Pictures, “a fresh sub-branding dedicated specifically to the production and distribution of carefully curated, often daring, first...

A highly skilled assassin punching and slicing their way through an endless horde of opponents out of revenge reads like several contemporary action-thrillers, especially in the wake of John Wick’s popularity. Kate marks the latest, borrowing from a few prominent action-thrillers to create an easily digestible blend of violence, action, and humor by way of a silly plot that ticks off all the action-thriller tropes at breakneck speed. Mary Elizabeth Winstead stars as the eponymous Kate, an expert hitman living in Japan currently working her way through a list of yakuza targets. Her only semblance...

IFC will release Solet’s latest movie in North America sometime in 2022.

One of the films I personally consider to be essential watching every Halloween season is Chris Lamartina and Jimmy George’s WNUF Halloween Special, a found footage horror movie that plays out like a vintage television broadcast, faux commercials and all. It’s a special experience that pitch perfectly captures the ’80s vibe, and this Halloween it’s finally coming to Blu-ray! Bloody Disgusting is excited to exclusively announce that WNUF Halloween Special will be the launch title for new label Terror Vision Films this October, and it’s up for pre-order NOW! Additionally,...

Called a “nihilistic morality thriller” by Meagan Navarro out of the Sundance Film Festival World Premiere, Coming Home in the Dark is now making its way home ahead of Halloween.

With a serious lack of promotion up to this point, it’s been easy to forget that a new take The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is on the way, with the Fede Alvarez-produced Texas Chainsaw Massacre set to be a sequel to Tobe Hooper’s original classic. We’ve been promised “Old Man Leatherface” and the return of Sally Hardesty, two teases that have us very excited. So what’s the latest on the film and when can we expect to see it? While we don’t yet have a date, THR reports today that Netflix has now acquired global rights...
