Retro Rewind 1987: 15 Horror Movies Celebrating The Dirty 30 This Year!

Published

on

6. Prince of Darkness

This may not be everyone’s favorite, but the unholy trinity of John Carpenter, Donald Pleasance, and rock icon Alice Cooper gives Prince of Darkness a worthy mention at the very least. The story in a nutshell, is a group of college students opt to spend the weekend in an L.A. abandoned church that results in a whole lot gross bugs, Alice Cooper’s hobo army, and a 7,000,000-year-old container of green slime containing the sentient supreme force of evil. I think that synopsis alone should trigger a viewing for someone in the case they’ve never seen the film, don’t you?

 

 

 

7. Near Dark

There’s a love story here, but the vampires don’t sparkle goddamnit. Given the recent passing of the great Bill Paxton, if you haven’t already, now would be the time to give a watch to this terrific little vampire treasure. I mean who doesn’t love a vampire film about a farm-boy seduced and abducted by vampires?! Definitely re-visit if it’s been some time for you.

 

 

8. Dolls

Don’t fuck with the Mr. Punch. Re-Animator‘s Stuart Gordon along with Producer Charles Band, successfully gave me nightmares at the tender age of five with this little gem of ’87. The stop motion effects of Dolls is a long-lost art that effectively worked for not one, but hundreds of little, pissed off 9-inch nightmares. I can tell you this for sure, I never looked at my porcelain dolls the same way again and immediately stopped dunking their plastic heads’ in my dog dishes after the first viewing.

 

 

9. Necromantik

Possibly one of the most infamous micro-budget horror films of the decade is also turning the dirty 30 this year, Nekromantik. It’s also pretty raunchy and not for the squeamish so if you’ve to lay your peepers on this German horror flick, you’ve been warned- it’s disturbing as fuck. I mean, it’s a gorey horror film about a street sweeper who goes around collecting dead bodies for him and his wife to get off with. It’s intense, shocking, and you’ll need to say about 5,000 Hail Marys’ just to cleanse yourself after watching. Fantastic.

 

 

10. Creepshow 2

Yeah, thanks for ride lady! Oh man, who doesn’t love Creepshow 2?! The follow-up to the anthology horror from ’82 is just as good as its predecessor with three new tales of terror that individually bring fun and gore to the film making it an instant classic. We also have Tom Savini playing the real-life Creep as an extra bonus, not that it’s even needed but it sure as shit adds to the epic factor. As a matter of fact, excuse me while I go watch this for the 3,000th time..

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
