The trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s period horror Crimson Peak was leaked online recently. Being a fan of Guillermo Del Toro to say I am excited to see what he does with this interesting concept is an understatement. The horror scene in Hollywood has gotten very stale and formulaic at the moment, it seems the big horror movie releases lately have been the same boring, lackluster, generic crap. Release after release of movies about the haunting of a family, I’m not saying that a ghost or demon terrorising a family can’t be good a number of movies have done fantastically well with this basic premise. However, it seems the films that have used this basic plot outline of late have been completely lacking in creative flair or imagination.

Guillermo Del Toro on the set of Crimson PeakDespite all of these kinds of movies being the same, audiences seem to lap it up, The Conjuring and Annabelle were very successful despite utilising tried and tested scares that can’t really be called scares. That being said it is refreshing to see someone like Guillermo Del Toro get a big budget and the permission to run wild with his imagination. Del Toro is not only a genius storyteller but also a master at bringing to life terrifying and awe-inspiring creations from the depths of his imagination. These fantasy scenarios always click on-screen, the guy is a genius. Which is why it’s exciting that Crimson Peak includes all of the oddities as well as his vision of just one of the universes inside his creative mind. Crimson Peak doesn’t just have poltergeist and ghost girls knocking things over in a suburban house, it has twisted skeletal undead entities clawing out of the ground in a grand old mansion with infinite secrets. The footage in this trailer makes me very excited for Del Toro’s upcoming adaptation of the H.P. Lovecraft novel: At The Mountains Of Madness. Are you looking forward to Crimson Peak? Does this trailer make you confident for Del Toro tackling Lovecraft? Let me know in the comments section below.

Eli Roth (Cabin Fever) and Crypt TV are knocking it out of the park with their new VR show, The Faceless Lady. For those unaware, this is the first fully scripted VR horror show on the market.

Even for masters of horror like Eli Roth and Crypt TV, this is a monumental undertaking. However, if I trust anyone to change the way that we experience horror, it would be these two legends.

The Faceless Lady

Ripped from the pages of Irish folklore, The Faceless Lady tells the story of a tragic spirit cursed to wander the halls of her castle for all of eternity. However, when three young couples are invited to the castle for a series of games, their fates may soon change.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
