No release date was announced, but we do get two trailers this time.

Last week, we shared a list of Six of the Most Unique Movie Monsters that were created exclusively for the big screen. While these beasts were carefully chosen according to originality and the quality of the special effects used to bring them to life, there are just so many great creature-features out there that it’s hard to stop at a meager six. That’s why we’ve come up with Six More Unique Movie Monsters that impressed us with their creative designs and backstories. Like last time, we’ll only be considering creatures...

Nicolas Cage described Prisoners of the Ghostland as “the wildest movie I’ve ever made.” Considering the actor’s list of genre credits, that’s an instant eyebrow-raising statement, and the plot description seems to back up that claim. Cage plays Hero, a robber sprung from jail and tasked with retrieving Bernice (Sofia Boutella), the adoptive granddaughter of The Governor (Bill Moseley). He’ll have to cross the Ghostland and bring her back to Samurai Town within a matter of days, or his rigged suit will explode. Throw in an East meets West genre blend, and you...

Spanning a library housing over 300 films, Hammer Studios is a key part...
