Horror Weekly News: Guy Pearce stars in Thriller SUNRISE. SAW XI announced.

 



It isn’t being a sheriff in a small rural town with secrets. More often than not, the sheriff is bound to find themselves embroiled in some sort of small town ritual that is supposed to appease some entity that will bestow everyone with good fortune. 

In the recent trailer for SUNRISE, we get to see Guy Pearce’s character, Reynolds, roaming about the woods. The scene is intercut with his conversation with an old woman who knows every legend there is about the small town. Towards the end she may even provide insight into how to deal with the problem or in s surprise twist turn out to be the real monster. 

Anyway, Reynolds is told about the legend of Red Coat which he immediately derides it as being a story to scare kids. We are shown the town’s sheriff, Fallon, and his family. 

One night, he and his wife are dragged out from their homes. Fallon awakens to find himself tied to a tree as a creature approaches it. In the next instant, Fallon is freed and at a local’s house being offered blood. He then finds his wife still hanging from a tree and breaks down. 

His character goes through a transformation as he goes up against Gillespie and Reynolds. 

Reynolds is then seen inciting people and demanding that they no longer live in fear. 

The trailer shows just how utterly chaotic everything is going to be towards the finale. The rest of the movie may be a slow burn. The trailer surely gives a vibe of being the kind of movie that will pack all of its action only in the climax.

Directed by Andrew Baird, and Written by Ronan Blaney, the movie stars Guy Pearce, Alex Pettyfer, and Kurt Yaeger. 

SUNRISE will release on January 19th, 2024. 

 

 In other news…

Following the success of Saw X, there is going to be yet another sequel that will be part of the franchise. 

Saw XI has just been announced by Lionsgate and intended for a release during the fall season, next year. 

Details are yet to emerge on the new movie. Saw X won critical praise and was a box office hit. The filmmakers did mention that it was intended to be the character John Kramer’s final movie but considering the successful run of Saw X, we may just get to see Tobin Bell reprise his role as Jigsaw. 

Also, John Kramer doesn’t really die in the end of Saw X, does he? Considering Saw X was a sequel to the original Saw movie and a prequel to Saw II, the new movie may just continue on with being a direct sequel to Saw X. 

After all, the other antagonist, Cecilia Pederson also doesn’t die in the movie. Or we don’t get to see it anyway. 


Saw XI will release on September 27th, 2024.

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
