Unfriended, the movie. Scared to be online? Not since "The Blair Witch Project" in 1999 has a horror film taken such a creative approach to conjure scares as "Unfriended." It's a cautionary tale of a group of friends who become the target of an unseen cyber-entity starving for revenge. What makes this film so different is that it's shot looking at a computer screen. The actors interact through Skype, with backstory elements handled through online searches. Even the soundtrack is created using the tunes stored on one of the computers. The approach — much as the "found footage" construction of "The Blair Witch Project" — is jarring at the start. The main image of the... Read More | |

It Follows - The return of Bravura Horror On the evening of Aug. 8, 1993, Showtime aired Body Bags, a 90-minute pilot for what the network hoped would become a long-running horror anthology series in the style of HBO’s Tales from the Crypt. (Needless to say, it did not.) The first instalment, “The Gas Station,” is directed by John Carpenter, and it is a short, perfect film, not a frame out of place across its swift 23 minutes. Its premise is simple: a young college student, arriving at a small-town Illinois gas station for her first shift as its overnight attendant, finds herself beleaguered by a local mental asylum’s murderous escapee, thought to be lurking, of course...

The Ring sequel Well, guys. It appears as if our friends over at Bloody-Disgusting may have got it a little wrong. A few weeks ago they reported that F. Javier Gutierrez’s Rings will be a prequel that takes place before the 2002 remake of The Ring. However that does not appear to be the case as the director, F. Javier Gutierrez has took to Twitter to put the record straight. Hey peeps, #Rings is NOT a prequel, the story takes place 13 years after #TheRing Alex Roe (The 5th Wave) has scored the lead male role in the upcoming film which will also star Italian actress Matilda Lutz. So, guys. What do you think of having the film set 13 years... Read More |
