Horror Weekly News: Netflix teases new thriller BODIES. Is Chucky running for President?

 





A mystery that spans over four different time periods? What is the connection?


Netflix’s newest thriller has sparked interest with the release of the teaser for BODIES. 


Based on the DC Comics and graphic novel of the same name, this British crime thriller will consist of eight episodes. The story is about four detectives in different time periods in London who try to uncover a conspiracy that spans over 150 years. 


The mystery involves a body that each of the detectives find in their time period. The shocking element that ties it all together is that it is the very same body that each detective finds in their era. 


The teaser shows the introduction of the four detectives. 


The first is DI Hillinghead in 1890 who finds the naked body of a man in the streets of London. 


The next is DS Whiteman in 1941 who finds the body on a dark, rainy night. 


In 2023, DS Hasan finds the very same body in a dirty, graffiti-ridden alleyway. 


The year is now 2053 and DS Maplewood is tasked with investigating the very same case of the very same body. 


How is it that the same body appears in each of these timelines? 


There is a man shown in the trailer who appears to know everything and he assures DS Maplewood that he will reveal anything. 


Considering the series is based on the graphic novels, the body acts as a reminder to some of the dark secrets that each of the detectives possesses. 


While the detectives may believe they are on a righteous part, their deep and dark secrets will come to light because of the body that they investigate during their time periods. 


The series stars Jacob Fortune-Lloyd as DS Whiteman. Shira Haas stars as DC Maplewood. Amaka Okafor stars as DS Hasan. Kyle Soller stars as DI Hillinghead. 


BODIES will stream on Netflix from 19th October. 




In other news…


Chucky is back and he is running for your lives. This is what the tagline suggests anyway. 


Chucky was renewed for season 3 in January and will see its release on the SYFY channel on October 4th. 


In the official teaser, we now see Chucky in the White House. But just how did he get there? 


Devon Sawa, who so far played Logan and Lucas Wheeler in Season One, then Father Bryce in Season 2, previously stated that he will not be part of the series. 


However, the teaser shows him playing none other than the President of the United States. And sitting at his breakfast table is his son and…Chucky! 


The ambitious serial killer doll apparently seems eager to join politics and create bloodshed and chaos within the walls of the White House. 


The first thing that goes missing is the letter opener and in the teaser itself, we see Chucky make his first kill. With the letter opener. 



The teaser doesn’t show the trio of friends so it remains to be seen how Jake, Devon and Lexy will take down Chucky considering he will be in the Oval Office. 


Jennifer Tilly is also set to reprise her character as Tiffany Valentine and will have to deal with Nica, played by Fiona Dourif who is on a warpath after being subjected to amputation and possession by the former. 


The spooky season will officially be in full swing with the return of Chucky.

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
