Netflix has released a trailer for its new horror series “Stranger Things.” Premiering July 15, the show stars Winona Ryder as a working class mom who discovers government experiments and supernatural forces play a role in the mysterious disappearance of her two-year-old son.
“Stranger Things” is created by “Wayward Pines” writers Matt and Ross Duffer and co-stars Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket), David Harbour (Suicide Squad), Cara Buono (“Person of Interest”), and Natalia Dyer (After Darkness).
If you were left seeing red after the cancellation of El Rey’s underrated “Matador” series, the network makes amends with news of blonde stunner Nicky Whelan joining the the season three cast of “From Dusk Till Dawn” and reuniting with producer Robert Rodriguez.
Whelan made her horror debut in Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 in 2009 and has since gone on to star in Japanese director Takashi Shimizu’s (The Grudge) in-flight frightener 7500, the Nicolas Cage rapture drama Left Behind, and the horror spoof Paranormal Movie.
Other awesomely notable creds under the Aussie stunner’s belt include toplining the 9th and final season of NBC’s “Scrubs,” going topless in the Farrelly Brotherscomedy Hall Pass, and playing CIA agent Annie Mason on Rodriguez’s gone-to-soon action series “Matador.”
Uncork’d Entertainment has released a trailer for All Girls Weekend, a backwoods survival frightener about a group of childhood girlfriends rekindling their friendship during a weekend getaway in the mountains. Things go bad when they get lost and turn on each other while stalked by a malevolent force.
The trailer appears to give away many of the movie’s deaths, but there’s zero hint as to who gets naked to skinny dip in a brook or who has lesbian sex near the camp fire so … well played, All Girls Weekend trailer editor, well played.
All Girls Weekend is written and directed by Lou Simon (HazMat) and stars Jamie Bernadette (I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu), Katie Carpenter (“Maid to Order”), Gema Calero (Agoraphobia), Sharron Calvin, and Karishma Lakhani. The film arrives on VOD July 12 and on DVD Sept. 6.
Things are getting Satanic in selected theaters, VOD, and iTunes on July 1. The Magnet thriller stars “Modern Family” stunner Sarah Hyland as part of a group of college kids who rescue a young woman from a demonic cult’s human sacrifice ritual only to discover she’s pure evil.
A trailer for Satanic has gone on line and it looks like total tween CW shit. What gives us hope, however, is that the script was written by Anthony Jaswinski, who penned Vanishing on 7th Street and the upcoming shark frightener The Shallows.
Twentieth Century Fox and Well Go USA have released a trailer for Korean filmmaker Na Hong-jin’s The Wailing. The supernatural drama follows the deadly mass hysteria that overtakes a small village when a mysterious foreigner settles among them.
The Wailing has garnered a crap-load of critical acclaim and the trailer looks awesome, but, like The Witch, there’s a chance the trailer cuts creepier than the actual movie. Regardless, it’s worth checking out as it begins its run at selected theaters.
Starz Digital has released a trailer for Hyde Park’s erotic-thriller Careful What You Wish For, starring Aussie stunner Isabel Lucas as a young trophy-wife caught up in an affair with an awkward high school student too blinded by his penis’ good fortune to notice she’s trouble.
Lucas played Goddess Athena in The Immortals and a long-tongued, short skirted Decepticon in Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. She also thrilled as a butt flashing femme fatale inthe sexually charged who-dun-it The Loft.Lucas bares that sweet tush once again in Careful What You Wish For.
Kenny Gage and Devon Downs (Anarchy Parlor) are directing/producing horror comedy Cynthia, starring scream queens Scout Taylor-Compton (Halloween), Rebecca Marshall (SAW 3D), and genre icons Sid Haig (Devil’s Rejects), Lynn Lowry (Cat People), Bill Moseley (Devil’s Rejects), and Robert LaSardo (Anarchy Parlor).
Cynthia tells the comedically tragic tale of a perfect couple’s growing desperation to have a child and the terrifying toll it takes on their lives. The film is written by “Girls & Corpses” founder Robert Rhine and is currently under production.
Gage and Downs are the gleefully twisted minds behind last year’sAnarchy Parlor, starring LaSardo as a renowned tattoo artist targeting American tourists in Lithuania for his underground art business. We caught the world premiere at Screamfest LA and found it to be one of the most enthralling and fun slashers in recent horror. Read our reviewhere.
Warner Bros. has set a March 2, 2018 release date for Meg, a prehistoric shark thriller pitting action star Jason Statham and Chinese stunner Fan Bingbing (X-Men: Days of Future Past) against a monstrous Megalodon discovered gobbling up scientists deep in the Pacific’s Mariana Trench.
Statham plays a former Navy captain and deep sea diver hired by Bingbing’s chief oceanographer to rescue her team of researchers trapped in the trench with the 70-foot beast when their submersible is damaged. The task is a suicide mission, but the Navy cap has already survived a previous encounter with Meg.
Meg is based on the 1997 Steve Alten novel “Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror” and adapted for the screen by director Jon Turtletaub (National Treasure).
Margot Robbie won our horny little hearts over with a full-frontal nude introduction in Martin Scorsese’s Wolf of Wall Street. She’s since thrilled us in a variety of ho-hum flicks, leading up to this summer’s promising Suicide Squad in which she plays fan-boy fantasy Harley Quinn.
But, now, our infatuation turns to boner-fide love as the Aussie stunner summons American Psycho killer Patrick Bateman in a parody of the Brett Easton Ellis novel for Vogue magazine. Titled “Australian Psycho,” the send-up finds Robbie acting out Bateman’s “I simply am not there” morning beauty regiment.
Note: Yes, we’re very late with this post, but we were busy making reservations at Dorsia.
Peep it:
Universal Pictures has released a second trailer for The Purge: Election Year, the third chapter in Blumhouse’s politically-charged horror franchise. Set two years after the events ofPurge: Anarchy, Election Year finds ex-cop Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) protecting a U.S. senator (Elizabeth Mitchell) on purge night.
The Purge is a government sanctioned night during which all criminal activity is permissible by law for 12 hours, including murder, rape, theft, and all the urges you sick fucks repress. The senator is targeted when she exposes that the Founding Father’s purge is aimed at minorities and the poor. See it July 1!
