Did Roald Dahl’s Matilda, from the 1988 book and 1996 movie of the same name, grow up to be a vengeful, telekenetic, outcast? Some people seem to think so. According to a theory on Reddit, Matilda grows up to be Stephen King’s Carrie. Sure, this might sound outlandish at first glance, but hear us out. We’ll first start by highlighting the similarities between the stories with this fan-made, mash-up trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNYaq6OzywU The basis of the theory is that Miss Honey can’t bear to stay, with Matilda, in the house that once belonged to Miss Trunchbull. The two move to Maine…

Slender Man was very recently released and it had every opportunity to become the next big horror film. The story originated from a viral Creepypasta character that picked up steam and got a lot of attention all around the globe. The concept and trailers generated hype for the movie that was certainly not fulfilled by the full picture. So, what happened to Slender Man? Sony Gems had got David Birke on board to write the script back in 2016, and chose Sylvain White to direct. They also got actress Joey King, who broke out in The Conjuring, on board with the…

Disney’s takeover of Fox is looming overhead and now we have some new information on the merger. Unfortunately but expectedly, it has been reported that Disney is likely to avoid genre films. More worryingly, it is possible that Disney may shut down the 20th Century Fox movie brand altogether. The Wall Street Journal have reported that Disney plan to “scale back production of costly movies that don’t fit its family-friendly, franchise-focused formula.” So X-Men and Avatar will be safe, but this will most likely be goodbye for the Alien and Predator franchises, as well as any horror movies or mid-budget…

Similarly to the image of Emilio Rivera, this introduces us to a…

With the hype surrounding the release of The Meg starring Jason Statham, the spotlight has been on shark related movies recently. So, appropriately, the Screen Junkies YouTube channel has created a hilarious, honest trailer for the movie Deep Blue Sea. The film was released in 1999 and is a typical cheesy shark flick, only this time the sharks are smarter. You can watch the honest trailer below: https://youtu.be/tb1btj4PuFA So essentially, Deep Blue Sea is a bad mash-up of Jaws and Jurassic Park right down to Samuel L. Jackson becoming lunch. If you haven’t seen the movie, it follows a group…

Jamie Lee Curtis has reprised her role as the iconic final girl in David Gordon Green’s upcoming Halloween movie revival, which will act as a direct sequel to the original film from 1978.

There is an interesting fan theory on the internet, suggesting that The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’s iconic Leatherface character might just be a woman. The Redditor explains that the behaviours of Leatherface in the movie mirror that of a 70’s housewife. Leatherface prepares the food, and we can assume that ‘she’ also deals with the decorating of the house – all while the family is out working or playing. An example the theorist gives of this behaviour, is Leatherface’s hostile reaction when the freezer has been meddled with. Another hint that the masked, cannibal lead could be a female is the use…
