Check Out the Latest Poster for the Highly Anticipated ‘Jigsaw’ – With a Familiar Face

Published

on

The newest poster for Jigsaw has just been revealed and a familiar face is back.

Horror fans have come to learn there never really is a final chapter. The dark emissaries who haunt the stained halls of our nightmares have proven insistently tedious to kill, and even more treacherous to keep dead. Any horror license sporting the tag “Final” or “Last” anything is never a reason to fret.

As sure as the blood will flow, the horror will continue, as will our nightmares.

This is a great year to be a horror fan. With multiple returning faces – Chucky, Pennywise, Jason via video game format, to name just a few – 2017 is becoming somewhat of a resurgence in the field of fear. Among the pantheon of beloved fear-inducing icons we also have the long-awaited reappearing of Jigsaw.

For the past several movies the original man known as the Jigsaw Killer, John Kramer (Tobin Bell), has been dead, nevertheless his insidious master-plan of pitting ungrateful human lives to the ultimate tests of survival did not follow him to the grave. His mass influence lingered long after his mortal shell was vacated, filling much of the franchise to follow.

Along with his ongoing plot were eager disciples willing to follow in his blood-stained footsteps. So now, after all this time, who has taken up the tattered mantle of the late John Kramer?

It’s been seven years since we last had a Saw film, and that’s somewhat alarming. Alarming, because that means someone out there has had that long to prepare a new batch of hideous games to unleash upon the world. Are you excited yet?

Jigsaw will be the eighth installment in the internationally acclaimed franchise, and who knows who will be behind the pig-mask this time around?

Then again, judging by this latest poster Jigsaw promises to remember John Kramer. So how much of Tobin Bell’s villainous character will we get to see? Already fans are clamoring to find out.

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.

Watch ‘The Burning’ At The Location Where It Was Filmed

Published

on

Fangoria is reporting that fans of the 1981 slasher The Burning will be able to have a screening of the film at the location where it was filmed. The movie is set at Camp Blackfoot which is actually the Stonehaven Nature Preserve in Ransomville, New York.

This ticketed event will take place on August 3. Guests will be able to take a tour of the grounds as well as enjoy some campfire snacks along with the screening of The Burning.

The Burning

The film came out in the early ’80s when teen slashers were being churned out in magnum force. Thanks to Sean S. Cunningham’s Friday the 13th, filmmakers wanted to get in on the low-budget, high-profit movie market and a casket load of these types of films were produced, some better than others.

The Burning is one of the good ones, mostly because of the special effects from Tom Savini who had just come off of his groundbreaking work on Dawn of the Dead and Friday the 13th. He declined to do the sequel because of its illogical premise and instead signed on to do this movie. Also, a young Jason Alexander who would later go on to play George in Seinfeld is a featured player.

Because of its practical gore, The Burning had to be heavily edited before it received an R-rating. The MPAA was under the thumb of protest groups and political bigwigs to censor violent films at the time because slashers were just so graphic and detailed in their gore.

Tickets are $50, and if you want a special t-shirt, that will cost you another $25, You can get all the information by visiting the On Set Cinema webpage.
