I’ve got to admit that this caught me by surprise. I knew that The Haunting Of Bly Manor was coming but had no idea that there was a teaser trailer – thanks Vulture! – till a few hours ago. I really enjoyed Netflix’s The Haunting Of Hill House (2018) and Doctor Sleep (2019) – though […]
According to Wikipedia, Stephen King has published 60 novels and 200 short stories, which is why it’s so confusing when Hollywood decides to remake one of his novels that has already been made into either a movie or miniseries. Now, if something were done in a particularly mediocre fashion – like The Langoliers or The […]
This review contains mild spoilers for Bloodshot. Dave Wilson’s Bloodshot isn’t bad, though it doesn’t bring anything new to the table either. And that’s important because there’ve been a few stabs at creating a cinematic universe, and so far only Marvel Studios and New Line’s The Conjuring and it’s spinoffs have done so successfully (and […]
If you’ve seen any of the commercials promoting Sony’s Fantasy Island it could be understood if you mistook it for a horror movie. After all, it’s from Blumhouse Pictures, the studio that released movies like The Darkness (2016), Get Out (2017), Us (2019) and numerous others. And the adverts imply a lot of sinister goings […]
Matt Reeves The Batman trailer dropped yesterday at DC’s Fandome and – if I’m being honest – is the only reason that anyone should remotely care about DC’s presentation. It’s an interesting trailer for quite a few reasons – not all of them good – though it works really well overall. First off, it’s accompanied […]
Yesterday the trailer for Zach Snyder’s Justice League – Yes, that’s the title – dropped yesterday as a part of DC’s Fandome event and I have beef with it. For a start, if you take a look at the poster you’ll see that ‘Zach Snyder’ is bigger than ‘Justice League,’ which is problematic for all […]
A trailer dropped for Kenneth Branagh’s Death On The Nile earlier today and it really bothered me. Agatha Christie published 66 books before her death in 1976 and yet somehow Hollywood seems to feel the need to remake those that have already been made into feature films (Murder On The Orient Express in 1974, directed […]
Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman’s Project Power is a superhero-adjacent Netflix movie starring Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback. I write “adjacent” because while the movie revolves around people with super powers no one’s running around anywhere with capes, non de plumes or anything like that. The story revolves around a new drug on […]
Brett Pierce and Drew Pierce have brought us a horror movie that – if the trailer’s any indicator – that looks like a modern reinterpretation of Tom Holland’s Fright Night. And that’s a good thing because as anyone who’s seen the latter can tell you, it’s an awesome movie and has aged pretty well – […]
There’s quite a few problems with the adaptations based of the work of Clive Barker – of which there’ve been plenty – though the greatest in my opinion is that Barker tends to have nothing to do with them (beyond writing the material they’re based upon). I don’t claim to know what’s going on behind […]
