‘Death House’ coming to theaters January 2018!
We FINALLY have a release date for the long awaited movie Death House, and it’s January 26, 2018! What a hell of a way to start off the New Year! If you haven’t heard of Death House… well first, shame on you! Second, let me explain why you should have and why this movie is going to kick some major ass!
Death House originally started as a seedling of an idea inside the mind of the late and great Gunnar Hansen, known to many as Leatherface in 1974’s The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. His idea was to make a movie will all of his friends from the horror world that fans would love. Hansen began working on a script, but couldn’t get it just right. With the assistance of writer and director Harrison Smith his idea came to fruition. Unforeseen by anyone at the time Hansen passed after a long and unknown battle with pancreatic cancer before the project could be finished. It is reported his dying request was for the movie to be completed for fans to see. Almost two years later and Hansen is finally going to get his wish.
From those who have seen it, Death House is reportedly a smart script. Crazy, right? A horror movie that makes you think?! However, I can already buy into that idea with the witty tagline alone; “Hell isn’t a word. It’s a sentence.” This is perhaps one of the best taglines I have seen in the past decade!
Not only does this movie boast a clever script, but it is chockfull of horror veterans. Reportedly there are even horror Easter eggs dropped throughout the film for those of us who grew up in the genre as fans and can appreciate the small nods to find upon subsequent viewings. To just list a few of the genre stars who headline this movie, here is a taste; Kane Hodder, Tony Todd, Dee Wallace, Sid Haig, Bill Moseley, R.A. Mihailoff, Barbara Crampton, Felissa Rose, and Camille Keaton. Ok, maybe that was more than a few, but I certainly did leave some off of the list for you to be surprised about upon your viewing.
I have included the NSFW red band trailer bellow, but I believe the synopsis is worth mentioning here so you can fully appreciate the plot without being dazzled by the blood and ambush of horror stars.
Inside a federal maximum security prison the worst of the worst are housed. With the goal to eradicate evil from the world these prisoners are subjected to LSD, electro shock, and sensory deprivation to break down their personalities and get at the root of what makes them tick. In a word; evil. So in addition to housing these convicts the facility doubles as a medical, psychological, and parapsychological research center. As you can imagine, all of the needle pricks and proddings don’t make for a happy group of inmates.
When two agents visit the Death House a power breakdown releases the evil inside, leaving them to fight their way out. However, the way out is not up, as convict Sieg (Hodder) points out, it’s down. However, to enter the belly of the Death House you will have to come face to face with The Five Evils, something the trailer only touches upon and I wouldn’t spoil even if I knew what, or who, that was.
The trailer whets your appetite for blood and gore, begins the gears to start turning in your brain, and gets your horror addicted heart racing in your chest. There is no reason for any horror fan not to see this movie, and as Gunnar Hansen’s last project motivated by his love for his horror family and as a treat for the fans who supported him all throughout his career, there is no reason you shouldn’t go see it for yourself!
Entertainment Factory has made a deal with Regan Cinemas to show the movie exclusively over roughly 100 of their screens nationwide so grab your horror friends to fill the seats, get some Jujubes, and enjoy one of the most anticipated horror movies of 2018!

‘Evil Dead’ Film Franchise Getting TWO New Installments
It was a risk for Fede Alvarez to reboot Sam Raimi’s horror classic The Evil Dead in 2013, but that risk paid off and so did its spiritual sequel Evil Dead Rise in 2023. Now Deadline is reporting that the series is getting, not one, but two fresh entries.
We already knew about the Sébastien Vaniček upcoming film that delves into the Deadite universe and should be a proper sequel to the latest film, but we are broadsided that Francis Galluppi and Ghost House Pictures are doing a one-off project set in Raimi’s universe based off of an idea that Galluppi pitched to Raimi himself. That concept is being kept under wraps.
“Francis Galluppi is a storyteller who knows when to keep us waiting in simmering tension and when to hit us with explosive violence,” Raimi told Deadline. “He is a director that shows uncommon control in his feature debut.”
That feature is titled The Last Stop In Yuma County which will release theatrically in the United States on May 4. It follows a traveling salesman, “stranded at a rural Arizona rest stop,” and “is thrust into a dire hostage situation by the arrival of two bank robbers with no qualms about using cruelty-or cold, hard steel-to protect their bloodstained fortune.”
Galluppi is an award-winning sci-fi/horror shorts director whose acclaimed works include High Desert Hell and The Gemini Project. You can view the full edit of High Desert Hell and the teaser for Gemini below:

‘Invisible Man 2’ Is “Closer Than Its Ever Been” to Happening
Elisabeth Moss in a very well-thought-out statement said in an interview for Happy Sad Confused that even though there have been some logistical issues for doing Invisible Man 2 there is hope on the horizon.
Podcast host Josh Horowitz asked about the follow-up and if Moss and director Leigh Whannell were any closer to cracking a solution to getting it made. “We are closer than we have ever been to cracking it,” said Moss with a huge grin. You can see her reaction at the 35:52 mark in the below video.
Whannell is currently in New Zealand filming another monster movie for Universal, Wolf Man, which might be the spark that ignites Universal’s troubled Dark Universe concept which hasn’t gained any momentum since Tom Cruise’s failed attempt at resurrecting The Mummy.
Also, in the podcast video, Moss says she is not in the Wolf Man film so any speculation that it’s a crossover project is left in the air.
Meanwhile, Universal Studios is in the middle of constructing a year-round haunt house in Las Vegas which will showcase some of their classic cinematic monsters. Depending on attendance, this could be the boost the studio needs to get audiences interested in their creature IPs once more and to get more films made based on them.
The Las Vegas project is set to open in 2025, coinciding with their new proper theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe.

Jake Gyllenhaal’s Thriller ‘Presumed Innocent’ Series Gets Early Release Date
Jake Gyllenhaal’s limited series Presumed Innocent is dropping on AppleTV+ on June 12 instead of June 14 as originally planned. The star, whose Road House reboot has brought mixed reviews on Amazon Prime, is embracing the small screen for the first time since his appearance on Homicide: Life on the Street in 1994.
Presumed Innocent is being produced by David E. Kelley, J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, and Warner Bros. It is an adaptation of Scott Turow’s 1990 film in which Harrison Ford plays a lawyer doing double duty as an investigator looking for the murderer of his colleague.
These types of sexy thrillers were popular in the ’90s and usually contained twist endings. Here’s the trailer for the original:
According to Deadline, Presumed Innocent doesn’t stray far from the source material: “…the Presumed Innocent series will explore obsession, sex, politics and the power and limits of love as the accused fights to hold his family and marriage together.”
Up next for Gyllenhaal is the Guy Ritchie action movie titled In the Grey scheduled for release in January 2025.
Presumed Innocent is an eight-episode limited series set to stream on AppleTV+ starting June 12.
