Horror Weekly News: Christine remake in the works. The Exorcist sequel coming in 2023.





 In 1983, Stephen King’s novel Christine came out. The story was about a car that was possessed and wrecked havoc in the lives of the owner and his loved ones. 

That very year, a movie based on the novel came out. 

Stephen King’s novels were so well-loved that the movie went into production before the novel was even released. 


The movie met with success and was well-received by the critics. 


Over the years, Stephen King’s stories are still well-loved, remembered and read by readers all over the world. 


So it comes as no surprise that the book will see yet another adaptation. 


This time Sony Pictures Entertainment and Blumhouse Productions are working on the remake of the movie. Bryan Fuller is said to be penning the script as well taking the director’s seat. 


As of yet the cast and release date has not been announced but it will be interesting to see a new version of this horror tale come to the screen. 


In other news…


Another popular movie franchise will have its sequel release in 2023. 

The Exorcist, which released in 1973 was based on a novel written by William Peter Blatty’s novel of the same title. The book was published in 1971. 


The movie became a cult classic and is remembered as one of the scariest horror movie of all time. Some of the scenes have also been parodied and become subjects of internet memes. 


Following the success of the three movies, there was a TV series that ran for two seasons. 


The new movie, which will be produced by Jason Blum will see the return of actress Ellen Burstyn who played mother Chris to the possessed 12 year old girl Regan. 


It is rumored that the two sequels of this movie are also in development alongside it. 


The movie is set to release on October 13th 2023. The poster shows a girl doing the spider walk down the stairs. By the look of it, she is clearly possessed. Creepy!

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
