Horror Weekly News: Poirot gets embroiled in a Haunting in Venice. It Lives Inside trailer drops.

 


A brand new mystery awaits Detective Hercule Poirot. And this comes just after he decided to retire. 


This time Poirot finds himself in a captivating mystery that takes place in mesmerizing Venice. 


After World War II, Poirot attends a Halloween party where guests participate in a séance. When one of the guests is murdered, he begins to wonder if there is a supernatural reason behind it. 


He starts seeing a ghost of a girl who is drenched. Is she the reason behind this chaos?


A Haunting in Venice is based on Agatha Christie’s 1969 novel Hallowe’en Party. 


The trailer shows a zoetrope with a dancing skeleton. But it isn’t meant to signify amusement, rather it is an indication of an ominous event. Rattling doors, shots of sculptures in dim light, carnival masks, and shadows, add to the eeriness. 


A girl’s ghost tries to make her presence known and appears to be scaring all the guests. 


Poirot will have to hold onto his wits to solve this case. 


The movie stars Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot. He is joined by Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh, and Jamie Dornan. 


Directed by Kenneth Branagh, A Haunting in Venice will hit theatres on September 15th.

Evil is unleashed... from a jar.


Following a win at the SXSW, Bishal Dutta's IT LIVES INSIDE is finally getting a release.


The movie has been talked about ever since its premiere at the SXSW Film Festival, where it bagged the Audience Award.


Critics have praised the movie for its spotlight on immigrants and the identity crisis they face as they adapt to their new surroundings.


IT LIVES INSIDE has a chilling trailer that looks like a promising demonic horror movie.


In the movie, we see a teenager, Samidha or Sam, trying to fit in her school. In the process, she forgoes her culture to be accepted.


She distances herself from her friend Tamira, who prefers to remain in the background.


Except, she's not only given up brushing her hair, she's also carrying around a jar.


One day, she corners Sam and tells her about the demon living inside. Sam doesn't care much for it, and when the jar breaks, someone invisible pulls on Tamira's hair.


Not long after, Sam is seen being disturbed by the same demon. Her mother thinks it is a "pisach" (flesh-eating demon) who is after her. And when it is ready, it will eat your soul.


This terrifying movie doesn't have a confirmed release date yet, although some reports suggest it may release during the fall.


The movie stars Megan Suri, Neeru Bajwa, and Mohana Krishnan.

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
