Horror Weekly News: Evil Dead Rise Trailer drops. The Thing Remake in the works.

The trailer for EVIL DEAD RISE has dropped and well, que sera sera.

The movie is the new film in the EVIL DEAD franchise and tells the story of a woman visiting her sister and niece and nephews. The infamous book that was used to summon deadbites which causes people to become possessed, shows up in the house. Chaos ensues.

The red band trailer has violence galore and is not for the faint of heart. Plus, we get to see that once the person is infected and possessed, their cooking skills go down the drain.

We see the mother cracking eggs in a pan and not removing the shells. The kids are shocked because they hadn’t anticipated that they would no longer be getting a proper breakfast.

The mother uses kitchen utensils to inflict violence on people, including a cheese grater. In one scene, she is seen scalping someone and then carrying it around and dropping the skin and hair on the docks.

But will we see Ash Williams, return?

Ash Williams has been the protagonist of the Evil Dead movies and has also featured in the TV series.

Perhaps Ash Williams may have a cameo and save the day, after all.

EVIL DEAD RISE releases on April 21st.

THE THING gets a remake too!

Blumhouse Productions will be bringing back the adaptation of the novel written by John W. Campbell Jr.

THE THING was adapted into a movie in 1982 and received negative reviews. It was considered neither a hit nor a flop, and as it turned out, John Carpenter, the director of the movie, lost projects because of the performance of the movie.

Years later, THE THING is now on the favorite list of horror fans. The movie is commended on effects and acting skills and naturally, the dearth of good original stories has led to movies from the past being remade.

Will this new adaptation find success? Time will tell.

For now, no details have been revealed except that it will be based on the long-lost original work from the author.

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
