Rupture is a body-horror tale from director Steven Shainberg (Secretary) and screenwriter Brian Nelson (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night), starring Noomi Rapace (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) as an abducted MILF with a crippling fear of spiders, who believes she’s undergoing a horrifying change.

Rapace plays Renee Morgan, a single-mom and arachnophobe living with her 12-year-old son in a suburban residence under surveillance by her would-be captors. Taken, she’s studied by her kidnappers and warned of a genetic abnormality that could rupture her body, revealing her alien persona.

A new trailer has gone online for Underworld: Blood Wars, the fifth installment in Screen Gems popular franchise pitting werewolves against vampires. Anna Foerster (“Outlander”) directs with Kate Beckinsale reprising her role as death dealer Selene.

Blood Wars introduces new powers to Selene, making her more lethal than ever. Beckinsale is in top, curvy form and watching her kick ass, run, and jump while flashing those enhanced icy blues is thrilling even if the story line has gotten a bit hard to follow.

Underworld: Blood Wars arrives in theaters Jan. 6, 2017.

Screen Gems has released a new trailer for Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the sixth entry in Paul W.S. Anderson’s blockbuster adaptation of the Capcom video game. Milla Jovovich toplines as Alice and Ali Larter returns as Claire Redfield, not seen since 2010’s RE: Afterlife.

The trailer is almost three minutes of Resident Evil stylized fun and an exciting promise for a satisfying end. New monsters are ugly and gruesome, Alice fight sequences whoa-inducing and sexy, and a peek at Claire Redfield thrilling. That “Paradise City” remix is still awful and distracting.

Picking up after the events of RE: Retribution, RE: The Final Chapter finds Alice returning to The Hive underground laboratory in Racoon City to fend off the Umbrella Corporation’s new attack against humanity’s survivors. Joined by new and old allies, she faces the undead and Umbrella’s army of mutant monsters.

Resident Evil: The final Chapter arrives in theaters January 27, 2017.

Dakota Johnson is set to star in Luca Guadagnino’s (A Bigger Splash) much maligned remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria. Amazon Studios has worldwide distribution of the film, which is penned by David Kajganich (The Invasion) and co-stars Chloë Grace Moretz and Tilda Swinton.

Johnson toplines the film as Suzy Bannion, an American ballet dancer caught in a grisly murder spree at a prestigious dance academy in Europe that serves as a cover for something supernatural and sinister. Jessica Harper played the role in the 1977 original.

Johnson, who is coming off the girl-power comedy How to Be Single and has had roles in acclaimed dramas Black Mass, A Bigger Splash, and the Social Network, is best known for playing Anastasia Steele in the film adaptation of E.L. James’ chart-topping erotic book series, Fifty Shades of Grey.

Disney has released a first trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, the fifth film in the blockbuster franchise starring Johnny Depp as pirate-hero, Captain Jack Sparrow. In theaters May 26, 2017, the sequel pits Sparrow against ghostly Captain Salazar, played by the awesome Javier Bardem.

Orlando Bloom and Geoffrey Rush return as Will Turner and Captain Barbossa, respectively. New faces include Brenton Thwaites (Oculus) and Kaya Scodelario (Moon). Joachim Ronning and Espen Sandberg (Bandidas) are at the helm, working from a script by Jeff Nathanson (Catch Me If You Can).

IFC has released a new trailer for Personal Shopper, a ghost story from French filmmaker Olivier Assayas (Paris, je t’aime) and starring Kristen Stewart as a fancy-smancy personal shopper living in Paris and mourning the loss of her twin brother, who she believes will soon contact her from the afterlife.

Unfortunately, her brother is an asshole and proceeds to scare the shit out of her in the enormous house they once shared. Other than its nifty premise – to reach out from the grave when one of them died – there’s nothing too creepy or scary in the film’s trailer, and the director’s creds gives us pause.

Well… at least no one sparkles.

Noomi Rapace (Prometheus) is bugging out in the upcoming body-horror tale from director Steven Shainberg (Secretary) and screenwriter Brian Nelson (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night). The Swedish stunner plays an abducted MILF with a crippling fear of spiders, who believes she’s undergoing a horrifying change.

The story follows Renee Morgan (Rapace), a single-mom and arachnophobe living with her 12-year-old son in a suburban residence under surveillance by her would-be captors. Once taken, she’s questioned about her medical history and phobias and is warned of a genetic abnormality that could rupture her body, revealing her alien persona.

Rapace breakthrough role came as Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish film adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s The Millennium Trilogy (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Girl Who Played with Fire, Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest). She’s since starred in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, Brian de Palma’s lesbian thriller Passion, and Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and upcoming Alien: Covenant.

Lionsgate Home Entertainment has set a Nov. 22 release date for The Vestron Video Collector’s Series’ Blu-ray debut of the 1992 zombie classic Return of the Living Dead 3. The limited-edition Blu-ray is chockful of features, including audio commentary and interviews with director Brian Yuzna and its gorgeous star Melinda Clarke.

Clarke, who most recently has starred in Fox’s “Gotham” and The CW’s “Nikita,” played Julie Walker in Retrun of the Living Dead 3, a sweet, slightly kinky redhead who dies tragically in a motorcycle accident when she attempts to give her boyfriend a reach-around while barreling  down a dangerous highway.

Desperate and heartbroken, her boyfriend revives Julie with the same Trioxin gas used by his father to reanimate corpses in top-secret military experiments. He’s successful, but soon discovers that Julie is no longer as interested in giving head as she is in eating brains, a condition that causes her great grief.

Julie, however, soon learns that she can fight off her hunger pangs with physical pain, a fortuitous little trick that allows her to not eat her boyfriend. Unfortunately, the couple doesn’t get much time to rekindle their love affair as they are being chased by military officials and the homies of a hispanic gangbanger whose head Julie ate out like a taco salad.

Yes, this movie is fucking awesome (see where Melinda Clarke/Julie Walker ranks in Clatto’s list of The 11 Sexiest Maneating Babes).
