Horror Weekly News: Update on the sequel to Bird Box. A past character returns to Chucky.






 In 2018, when the movie Bird Box was released on Netflix, it became an instant hit. Bird Box became Netflix’s most-watched movie, 28 days into its release. 

The movie was based on the novel Bird Box by Josh Malerman and starred Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson, John Malkovich among others. 

The movie was about a woman called Malorie who tries to protect her two children from entities who cause people to commit suicide once they see these entities. 

Throughout most of the movie, Malorie protects herself and her children by wearing blindfolds. The movie has become a subject of several memes over the years. 

A sequel was announced following the success of the movie, however, as per rumors, the movie was stalled due to the pandemic. 

The movie is now in the works and is apparently based on Josh Malerman’s sequel to Bird Box titled Malorie. 

The sequel opens with Malorie and her two children living at the school of the blind for two years when suddenly the creatures manage to enter the school and throw chaos. 

Malorie and her children manage to escape and find shelter at a summer camp. But there Malorie learns that the creatures may be evolving and now be able to make people go mad. 

It is yet to be confirmed whether Sandra Bullock will reprise her role as Malorie or not. 

In the time being, a spin-off film in the Spanish Language has also been green-lit.

They revive them but are then shocked to discover that they have parents with murderous tendencies. Glen/Glenda soon given into to their instincts but Tiffany who wanted a normal family is torn. 

A fight between Chucky and Tiffany ensues during which Glen/Glenda manages to incapacitate Chucky. The spell is used and Glen/Glenda enters the body of a baby while Tiffany chooses Jennifer Tilly to be her vessel. 

But Chucky can never be destroyed. He sends his arm over to Glen/Glenda's house in a package. The last we see is Chucky's arm grabbing Glen/Glenda by the throat.

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
