In the early 2000s, amid the realization that fears of Y2K and other ongoing millennial unrest were far from realized, the first “Final Destination” film arrived in theaters. Since then we have produced four more films, some decent and some not, usually three years apart. In 2011, the fifth film in the franchise was released,…
In a viral image that is repeated in many horror groups on social media, Isabelle Fuhrman, the star of the film “Orphan”, is seen in a DVD store. Fuhrman makes a perplexed face — open-mouthed in true Kristen Stewart fashion — at the fact that the DVD of “Orphan” she’s holding is one of the…
Not too long ago we were talking here on the site about horror films starring…Hands. The fact is that, surprisingly, there are a number of such films; some of them are excellent, and others have even reached cult status. “Idle Hands” is a great example of a silly comedy that was then entirely shot down…
A few years ago, I ate pumpkin. Although it has many health benefits, it didn’t taste good, so the overall experience was pretty bad. So when I recently heard about a horror movie called “Carved,” whose heroine (or should we say villain) is a pumpkin that comes to life after a chemical accident and starts…
I like survival movies, especially when the protagonists are trying to stay alive in the middle of the ocean. After all, it is the most threatening environment there is. Heroes can fight dangerous animals (like giant sharks or piranhas), forces of nature (including storms), monsters, murderous pirates, and sometimes even just violent “ordinary” people. When…
Usually we – horror the fans – don’t look forward to January when the list of Oscar nominees is announced. The reason is that the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences ignores horror films, which rarely receive nominations. Actors and actresses who star in horror films are also not included in the final…
If you ask a lot of singles, they might view their first date as a horror movie. We’ve seen a few films that take dating anxiety in interesting directions, whether the man is a psychopath with cannibalistic tendencies (the excellent “Fresh”) or there’s something seriously wrong with the woman (Australia’s “The Loved Ones”). To that…
Horror films continue to educate us; this time, they send a clear message: don’t steal cars. This commandment is the starting point for the thriller “Locked,” which is scheduled to hit theaters next month. With the casting of Bill Skarsgård (as usual) as the bad guy who breaks into a car, the voice of Anthony…
When you hear the term “Nicolas Cage horror film,” what do you think? The veteran and busy actor, with over 150 credits and around 15 horror films under his belt (most in recent years), has – rightly – been given the name of an actor who doesn’t make too many choices in his choices, thinking…
245 Following a successful festival and theatrical release, the award-winning and critically acclaimed CHAIN REACTIONS will make its long-awaited digital/VOD debut on October 21. The official trailer for the film can be seen below. Written and directed by Alexandre O. Philippe, the film features in-depth interviews with Patton Oswalt, Takashi Miike, Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Stephen King…
In recent years, horror cinema has discovered the element of going back in time, sometimes combined with an infinite loop. We didn’t need the horror slasher “Totally Killer” to know that this trend is prevalent in our favorite genre today. You know how it goes: a murder that happened in the past, even several decades…
Have you missed the superficial but funny jokes that make up the scenes of familiar horror films of recent years? Then you’ll probably be happy that more than 25 years after the first film and 13 years after the fifth film, the horror parody “Scary Movie” returns next year – to be more precise, January…
