Horror Weekly News: Robert Pattinson stars in Mickey 17. Scare Package sequel comes to Shudder.

From Director Bong Joon Ho comes another sci-fi thriller based on Edward Ashton’s critically acclaimed novel MICKEY 7.

The movie titled MICKEY 17 stars, Robert Pattinson, in the titular role. It also stars Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, and Naomi Ackie.

The plot should follow that of the book.

According to the book summary--Mickey7 is an Expendable: a disposable employee on a human expedition sent to colonize the ice world Niflheim. Whenever there’s a mission that’s too dangerous—even suicidal— the crew turns to Mickey. After one iteration dies, a new body is regenerated with most of his memories intact. Mickey signed on to escape from both bad debts and boredom in Midgard.

After six deaths, Mickey7 understands the terms of his deal…and why it was the only colonial position unfilled when he took it.

When he goes missing and is presumed dead at the hands of deadly indigenous creatures, Mickey8 reports for duty, and their troubles really begin.

The movie is set to release on March 29th 2024.

The movie titled SCARE PACKAGE II: RAD CHAD’S REVENGE is about the guests at his funeral being forced to band together and use their knowledge of horror movies to escape the death traps set for them.

The trailer shows each of them wearing collars and the game looks like it is borrowed from SAW. Just how will the guests survive? And just who is going to be the final girl? Or girls?

The movie releases on Shudder on 22nd December.

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.

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
