Universal has been working on a new adaptation of the incredibly popular Doom video game franchise. The property was previously adapted in 2005, but did negatively with fans. While a decent cast led the movie, it was bogged down by a weak script and an attempt to distance itself from the games’ references to Hell and demons. Now Universal’s upcoming adaptation seems to be rectifying those issues, and to keep up with the high expectations they’ve delayed the film to put more focus on its special effects. More specifically, according to Dread Central, the CGI involved with its Hell sequence.…

Escape Room has been a nice little success for Sony, and now it seems they want to duplicate that success with their Grudge reboot. They shifted it out of its mid-2019 release date and are now prepping to release the flick in January 2020, in a time slot similar to Escape Room. While I appreciate their attempt to strategize, I wouldn’t take it as a move of confidence. January has almost always been a dump month for lackluster horror movies. The Bye Bye Man, Texas Chainsaw 3D, you name it. The only thing they’re doing is making it sound almost…

The new Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody directed by Bryan Singer has been a hit with critics. But now after the film has earned four Oscar nominations, four new allegations of sexual misconduct have come to light. The news comes from The Atlantic, who has published a year-long investigation into allegations against Singer. The article is loaded with dozens of sources and four new accusers. Singer has already responded to the article, however, and gave a statement to his attorney Andrew Brettler. As he suggested, the article was “written by a homophobic journalist who has a bizarre obsession with me dating…

Although Syfy’s horror anthology series Channel Zero did well with fans, it seems the SyFy network has decided not to renew the series for a fifth season. The series’ creator Nick Antosca broke the news via Instagram, where he wrote, “After 4 seasons, Channel Zero is no more at SYFY. I loved making this show and I would have loved to do more… but I can’t complain too much about doing 4 stories I loved with people who I loved working with. People like our writers, our actors, our extraordinary crew, the artists who contributed, our editors and post team,…

With the home release of David Gordon Green’s Halloween (2018) arriving on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on January 15, fans are getting more than just a second look at Michael Myers’ latest killing spree—they’re also gaining access to several deleted scenes that didn’t make the final theatrical cut. Among them is one particularly disturbing sequence that serves as a grim reminder: no living creature is safe from the wrath of The Shape. In one of the most unsettling deleted scenes, Allyson (Andi Matichak) is seen jogging through a suburban neighborhood when she suddenly comes across the lifeless body…

While we just received the first trailer for Sony and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, the MCU sequel to the highly successful Spider-Man: Homecoming, they also released an international version that has just a dash more of footage. While the trailers are mostly the same, there are a few key differences, especially in the first minute marks. July 5. #SpiderManFarFromHome 🕷🕸 pic.twitter.com/bH7p6adKRc — Sony (@Sony) January 15, 2019 The domestic trailer contains footage of Aunt May and Happy Hogan, with a few more scenes of Peter’s average high school life in the US involved. Meanwhile the international trailer shows more…

Let Me In is a remake based on one of the more memorable vampire films of our generation. In a time period flooded with either Twilight-inspired romances or direct-to-video sequels to The Lost Boys and 30 Days of Night, Let The Right One In and its remake were something a little more unique. The movies follow two young children, a 12-year-old boy named Owen and a girl he befriends named Abby. Owen happens to be a bullied student and Abby a much older vampire, and the duo begin to fall in love with each other. In this deleted scene that…

Todd Phillips’ Joker movie is turning out to be quite a different movie than anticipated. It seems instead of the average Joker story, this will be a lot higher concept. It’s even been compared to V for Vendetta because of its intense political themes. In particular, the keywords “heartbreaking,” “pitiful,” and “tragedy” have all been passed around for the movie. It’s really painting a portrait for how dark this version of the Joker will be, giving us a character study not quite seen before in a comic book flick. However, the social commentary might be a little too extensive for…

One of the biggest complaints people had about David Gordon Green’s Halloween movie happened to be Allyson’s boyfriend Cameron. While the character is portrayed as a completely unlikable jerk, he never receives any comeuppance for it. He’s simply forgotten about during the film’s fast-paced narrative. It’s a little unusual for a slasher film to leave such a character alive, and many fans have been asking why. Now, a new deleted scene from the home video release, posted by IGN, has answered that question. As it turns out, while the character survived Michael Myers he did in fact get apprehended by…

The Final Destination series is one of several horror franchises that, despite several sequels, never bothers to answer certain questions. For example, who is Tony Todd’s character? Can he be the actual embodiment of Death? It’s certainly an interesting premise. While these types of questions are probably better left unanswered, it hasn’t stopped fans from wanting a Final Destination 6 to be made. While it’s unfortunate that the franchise hasn’t continued, star Tony Todd who was involved with most of the movies managed to explain why. As he explained to Bloody-Disgusting, “I am [surprised] but I know why there hasn’t…
