Up-and-comer Maika Monroe has scored the lead female role in You’re Next director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett’s new psychological thriller The Guest. Monroe will co-star alongside “Downton Abbey’s” Dan Stevens in the film, set to shoot this summer.

The Guest tells the story of  David, a deeply disturbed ex-Marine (Stevens) who returns from a tour of duty to terrorize a military family. Monroe plays Anna, the family’s daughter who suspects that something is not right with David.

Monroe made her acting debut in 2006’s Bad Blood, playing a member of  a cannibalistic clan out to feed on unsuspecting travelers. She reprised the role last year in its sequel Bad Blood… the Hunger. Monroe can currently be seen in Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring.

“Once Upon a Time” and “Tudors” star Sarah Bolger is set to join Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass in Lionsgate’s Reawakening, a Blumhouse (The Purge) produced medical thriller that follows research students as they discover how to reanimate the dead to dire results.

Reawakening marks the feature directorial debut of documentary filmmaker David Gelb (Jiro Dreams of Suishi). The film is co-written by Luke Dawson (Shutter) and Jeremy Slater (The Fantastic Four) and co-stars Evan Peters (“American Horror Story”) and Donald Glover (“Community”).

Bolger is coming off a recurring role as Sleeping Beauty on ABC’s fairy tale drama “Once Upon a Time.” She also starred in the 2008 fantasy film adaptation The Spiderwick Chronicles and American Psycho director Mary Harron’s vampire thriller The Moth Diaries.

When plans for a film adaptation of Marvel Comics’ Deadpool were first announced, I didn’t pay it much mind. Dead Pool to me was simply the last entry in the Dirty Harry franchise. But, that all changed when I caught a look at High Moon Studio’s trailer for its new Deadpool video game.

Now, I can’t wait to see the movie! As for the game, it promises four very awesome things: Deadpool! Bang! Babes! Mayhem! While that’s no Jim Carrey doing Axl Rose, it still looks pretty damn entertaining.

Peep it:

Italian filmmaker Simon Rovellini has launched a Tumblr page dedicated to exploding the heads of actresses in classic Hollywood and Disney animated movies.

While Rovellini ‘s videos and GIFs on Exploding Actresses may offend cinephiles, anger feminists and titillate those with harboring a female decapitation fetish, they’re what we at Clatto define as romantic comedies.

Enjoy:

A trailer for Bobcat Goldthwait’s Willow Creek has gone online. The found-footage thriller follows Jim (Bryce Johnson) and his girlfriend Kelly (Alexie Gilmore) as they set out to find the missing link in a small California town known for its Big Foot sightings.

The Willow Creek trailer looks very Blair Witch, but with Goldthwait directing from his own script, you can bet your Police Academy box set that this is going to be something special. After all, this is the guy that gave us two of the most twisted and hilarious dark comedies ever: World’s Greatest Dad and Sleeping Dogs Lie.

Rob Zombie has once again got his eye on Halloween. But, don’t go TPing the man’s house just yet. He’s not doing another movie sequel (though a Halloween III: Season of the Witch remake would be interesting). This time out, Zombie is unleashing a horrific haunted attraction on the people of Los Angeles.

Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare will feature bloodcurdling mazes based on three of Zombie’s horror films: Lords Of Salem Total Black Out, The Haunted World Of El Superbeasto 3D and Haunt Of 1,000 Corpses.

This is it! The ultimate badass Halloween experience! No one will walk away disappointed. I am thrilled to bring The Great American Nightmare to California and begin a reign of bloody terror!

Rob Zombie’s Great American Nightmare will take place every Thursday-Sunday from Oct. 10-Nov. 2 at the Fairplex in Pomona, and is not intended for young children or those faint of heart. But, those too chicken to enter a maze can enjoy outdoor screenings of classic horror films, food and booze and the funky beats of a DJ.
