Horror Weekly News: The Boogeyman trailer drops. Winnie the Pooh will see more blood in sequel.

 



Don’t let it out. Don’t let the Boogeyman get you. 


Stephen King’s short story THE BOOGEYMAN has been adapted and the trailer has finally dropped. 


Now, the short story which appeared in NIGHT SHIFT was about a father talking to the therapist about a malevolent force that has been going after his kids. Turns out the therapist is just a disguise for the Boogeyman. 


Of course, now that the story has been adapted for film, there will be changes and the trailer sure is an indication of that. 


In the short story, a man called Lester is visiting a therapist, Dr Harper. He has a wife called Rita who has given birth to their son Andy. One day, she happens to leave her husband and son to visit her sick mother. That is when the Boogeyman strikes. 


The trailer shows that the movie will not be told from Lester’s POV but the therapist’s. 


Chris Messina is shown putting his young daughter to bed when the little girl notices a movement under her bed. She checks it with a ball of light and sees the monster. 


Of course no one believes her, not even her older sister. 


The therapist is then seen with his patient whop warns him that it is the thing that comes for your kids when you are not paying attention. 


Pay attention to your kids! 


The movie was initially going to release on Hulu but will now get a theatrical release on June 2nd. 


 


 In other news…


Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey may be releasing on February 15th, but the early reviews are in and they aren’t exactly favorable. Despite the negative feedback so far, a sequel to the slasher movie has already been announced. 


Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has been in the news ever since the beloved character created by A.A Milne entered the public domain. Deciding to give the cuddly bear a horror makeover, the movie was announced and has since been in the news for its bold take on the characters we loved as kids. 


The sequel promises more blood, meaning that Winnie the Pooh and his friend Piglet may just survive the events of this movie. Can anyone stop them or is it just going to be a movie about mindless violence. 


Time will tell.

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
