Horror Weekly News

 



Who hasn’t heard of the Foo Fighters? They have recorded more than 150 songs and sold over 30 million records worldwide. What’s next for them? 


A horror movie, of course. 


Dave Grohl, the founder of Foo Fighters, is credited with the story for the movie Studio 666. According to Dave Grohl, the story came to him when he moved into a house, that looked haunted, to record his music. When he learned that there was a horror movie being planned keeping the Foo Fighters in mind, he was reluctant at first but then gave in when he realized the house he lived in was perfect for a horror movie. 



 


 The story is about Dave Grohl, of course. Soon enough he becomes possessed by a spirit and goes on a killing spree. This horror-comedy is set to release on February 25th. 


The film also stars Jenna Ortega, Whitney Cummings and Will Forte. 


In other news…


It’s no surprise that after the recent success of horror TV shows like Midnight Mass, The Haunting of Hill House, and Archive 81, the horror genre has taken a great lift. 


Especially in the past year, movies like Malignant, the Fear Street Trilogy, Last Night in Soho, The Deep House, etc, have made a mark at the box office and received favorable reviews from critics. 


It isn’t surprising then, that the master of horror, Stephen King would have more of his novels adapted for the screen. 


This year promises several adaptations of Stephen King’s novels, starting with Firestarter. 


 


 The novel was released in 1980, followed by a movie in 1984 starring Drew Barrymore in the titular role. 


The story is about a girl who possesses pyrokinetic powers and becomes a target of secret government agents who want to get their hands on her. 


The 2022 version stars Zac Efron as the father and Ryan Kiera Armstrong as Charlene "Charlie" McGee. 

The movie is slated for release on May 13th 2022

The Limehouse Golem- My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: When Elizabeth's husband is found dead, all fingers point to her. But is it really her or the work of a serial killer? If like me, you’ve read hundreds of mysteries and are enthused about Sherlock Holmes tales, THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is actually pretty predictable. Set in the Victorian Era, it promises to instil fear in you. Before Jack the Ripper, there was Golem- such is the tagline and you do want it to be the kind of movie that keeps you guessing until the very end as to the true identity of the killer.   Unlike the Jack the Ripper legend, Golem is easily recognizable in the very first instance the character is introduced.

Delirium (2018)— My take on the movie with spoilers!

PLOT SUMMARY: After leaving the asylum and put in house arrest, Tom begins to believe the house is either haunted or he is hallucinating.  Most times, when we think about criminals, we wonder what could possible have prompted them to fall into a life of crime.

Look Away— my take on the movie with spoilers!

Plot Summary: A bullied girl switches places with her reflection. She soon regrets her decision as people start dying.  What matters most? Looks or confidence? When we see someone for the first time, we do notice their looks, the way they dress. Personality and their ability to initiate and hold a conversation comes second, doesn't it? Imagine meeting someone who is good looking but is dull to the core. Now imagine someone with average looks but is someone you can have fun with or have an intellectual conversation. Which seems more attractive? Look Away takes a very bold stand where appearances are concerned. But also about self-confidence. In the end, the only argument it makes is that one cannot possess both attributes. LOOK AWAY Movie Plot  We are introduced to a timid girl, Maria whose father is a plastic surgeon. Her mother is shown to have no say of her own. She is left to watch her husband ridicule his daughter about not being careful with her looks. Maria has a friend Lily
