‘Halloween Kills’ Trailer Turns Up The Arterial Blood Spray

Published

on

Halloween Kills is still a ways off. In fact we still have to wait an entire year. The wait for the next entry of the franchise is set for October 15, 2021, and boy is that going to be a tough wait.

Halloween Kills picks up right where Halloween 2018 left off. This means that Laurie Strode and her family had just set a fire trap, and left Michael trapped and engulfed in flames. Or so we thought, and so did she. Because, he looks like he is doing pretty well in this one and doesn’t seem to have as much burn tissue as one would expect to see after being buried in a basement of fire and revenge.

As part of Blumfest, Blumhouse gave us a nice tasty morsel. I suppose the fans have knocked at Jason Blum’s door long enough. In celebration of Halloween it looks like he finally opened the door to give the fans their candy. And by candy I mean a closer look at the dynamics of Halloween Kills.

The trailer reveals an interesting turn. This shows Laurie with the towns people. In the same frame and everything. That is a completely new angle. Laurie Strode has very much always been the outsider in the films. Most notably, in Halloween 2018 she was a complete lone wolf, the crazy lady that the town had sort of signed off on as a complete nut case under their breath.

Well, those same towns people look like they are basically trying to hold her hand now. It’s exciting that we are going to get a fully evolved Laurie. One that has become the person that she made herself into. See,  lets not get it crossed and assume that Michael made her into this. Maybe we believed that in Halloween 2018 but, now we know better. She is too badass and it appears that she has fully evolved like a Pokemon. Strode-chu maybe?

From what we see of Michael he appears to be on the defensive for once. He looks like a scared animal, killing everything around him due to a misinterpreted fear signal.

So, all in all, the short trailer looks to bring Haddonfield united and Michael completely divided. Oh, and Anthony Michael Hall as Tommy Doyle. Don’t think I forgot or missed that extreme bit of coolness.

Halloween Kills can’t get here soon enough. In the meantime, let us know what you think about the trailer. What do you think about the new Strode/Haddonfield dynamics? Let us know in the comments section.

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.

Published

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.
