A Nightmare on Elm Street

Recently, we brought you the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.  To atone for that sin, this week we’ve got the original.  Although it needs no introduction, A Nightmare on Elm Street is about a serial killer named Freddy Krueger who stalks teenagers in their dreams, killing them so that they die in real life.  But you already knew that.

This is the original, classic 1984 Wes Craven movie that stars Robert Englund as Freddy and Heather Langenkamp as the final girl.  It’s an absolute must-see.  And you probably have.  Heck, you probably own the box set.  But just in case you haven’t or don’t, A Nightmare on Elm Street is right here at TubiTV.

The Hitch-hiker

The Hitch-hiker is a 1953 film-noir thriller about two pals on a fishing trip who pick up a stranded motorist.  The hitcher turns out to be an escaped prisoner who has been killing people who pick him up as he evades the police, and the two friends are next on his list of victims.

Written and directed by the multi-talented Ida Lupino, The Hitch-hiker was based on actual events, which only makes it creepier.  Pick up The Hitch-hiker here at Kinocult.

Grotesque (1988), courtesy Empire Pictures.

Grotesque

Linda Blair made a ton of movies after she appeared in The Exorcist, and Grotesque is one of them.  The movie stars Blair as a girl who goes home to spend some time with her parents in the mountains.  Their peaceful reunion is interrupted by a gang of punks who break in and murder the family – but the family has a secret, locked in a closet, that hunts down the punks and has its revenge.

The dad in Grotesque is a Hollywood special effects artist, so there are some cool makeup effects and full-head masks in the film, but this 1988 movie is a fairly typical eighties revenge-slasher with just a touch of creature feature tossed in for good measure.  Ignore the idiotic last five minutes or so and it’s a good watch.  Grotesque is here at TubiTV.

Rubber (2010), courtesy Magnet Releasing.

Rubber

Rubber is a 2010 movie about a killer tire.  Seriously.  It’s about a tire than gains sentience and goes on a murderous rampage.  Sure, there’s a parallel subplot about a bunch of spectators on a nearby hill watching, but all you really need to know about Rubber is that it’s about a killer tire.

Rubber is about as weird of a movie as you’re ever going to find.  And, for such a silly concept, it’s surprisingly serious.  And surreal.  Hit the road with Rubber here at Vudu.

 

Invaders from Mars (1986), courtesy Cannon Pictures.

Invaders from Mars

Invaders from Mars is about a young boy who, as the title implies, discovers a Martian plot for invasion.  The boy must convince the rest of his town of what is happening before the invasion commences.

Invaders from Mars is a Tobe Hooper-directed, Dan O’Bannon-written 1986 reimaging of a 1953 sci-fi classic.  There are a ton of familiar faces in this one, including Karen Black, Timothy Bottoms, Bud Cort, and Louise Fletcher.  It was also shot by cinematographer Daniel Pearl and features a score by Christopher Young.  Catch Invaders from Mars here at TubiTV.

‘Immaculate’ Stars Reveal Which Horror Villains They Would “F, Marry, Kill”

Published

on

Sydney Sweeney is just coming off the success of her rom-com Anyone But You, but she’s ditching the love story for a horror story in her latest film Immaculate.

Sweeney is taking Hollywood by storm, portraying everything from a love-lusting teenager in Euphoria to an accidental superhero in Madame Web. Although the latter got a lot of hate among theater-goers, Immaculate is getting the polar opposite.

The film was screened at SXSW this past week and was well-received. It also gained a reputation for being extremely gory. Derek Smith of Slant says the, “final act contains some of the most twisted, gory violence this particular subgenre of horror has seen in years…”

Thankfully curious horror movie fans won’t have to wait long to see for themselves what Smith is talking about as Immaculate will hit theaters across the United States on March, 22.

Bloody Disgusting says that the movie’s distributor NEON, in a bit of marketing smarts, had stars Sydney Sweeney and Simona Tabasco play a game of “F, Marry, Kill” in which all their choices had to be horror movie villains.

It’s an interesting question, and you might be surprised at their answers. So colorful are their responses that YouTube slapped an age-restricted rating on the video.

Immaculate is a religious horror movie that NEON says stars Sweeney, “as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.”

Michael Keaton Raves About “Beetlejuice” Sequel: A Beautiful and Emotional Return to the Netherworld

Published

Beetlejuice 2

After more than three decades since the original “Beetlejuice” film took audiences by storm with its unique blend of comedy, horror, and whimsy, Michael Keaton has given fans a reason to eagerly anticipate the sequel. In a recent interview, Keaton shared his thoughts on an early cut of the upcoming “Beetlejuice” sequel, and his words have only added to the growing excitement surrounding the film’s release.

Michael Keaton in Beetlejuice

Keaton, reprising his iconic role as the mischievous and eccentric ghost, Beetlejuice, described the sequel as “beautiful”, a term that encapsulates not only the visual aspects of the film but its emotional depth as well. “It is really good. And beautiful. Beautiful, you know, physically. You know what I mean? The other one was so fun and exciting visually. It’s all that, but really kind of beautiful and interestingly emotional here and there. I wasn’t ready for that, you know. Yeah, it’s great,” Keaton remarked during his appearance on The Jess Cagle Show.

Keaton’s praise did not stop at the film’s visual and emotional appeal. He also lauded the performances of both returning and new cast members, signaling a dynamic ensemble that is sure to please fans. “It’s great and the cast, I mean, Catherine [O’Hara], if you thought she was funny last time, double it. She’s so funny and Justin Theroux is like, I mean, come on,” Keaton enthused. O’Hara returns as Delia Deetz, while Theroux joins the cast in a yet-to-be-disclosed role. The sequel also introduces Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter, Monica Bellucci as Beetlejuice’s wife, and Willem Dafoe as a dead B movie actor, adding new layers to the beloved universe.

“It’s just so fun and I’ve seen it now, I’m gonna see it again after a couple little tweaks in the editing room and I confidently say this thing is great,” Keaton shared. The journey from the original “Beetlejuice” to its sequel has been a long one, but if Keaton’s early rave is anything to go by, it will have been worth the wait. Showtime for the sequel is set for September 6th.

‘The Unknown’ From Willy Wonka Event is Getting a Horror Movie

Published

on

Not since the Fyre Festival has an event been so lambasted online as Glasgow, Scotland’s Willy Wonka Experience. In case you haven’t heard about it, it was a children’s spectacular that celebrated Roald Dahl’s offbeat chocolatier by taking families through a themed space that felt like his magical factory. Only, thanks to cellphone cameras and social testimony, it was actually a sparsely decorated warehouse filled with flimsy set designs that looked like they were bought on Temu.

The famous disgruntled Oompa Loompa is now a meme and several hired actors have spoken out about the inelegant party. But one character seems to have come out on top, The Unknown, the mirror-masked emotionless villain who appears from behind a mirror, terrifying younger attendees. The actor who played Wonka, at the event, Paul Conell, recites his script and gives some backstory to this frightening entity.

“The bit that got me was where I had to say, ‘There is a man we don’t know his name. We know him as the Unknown. This Unknown is an evil chocolate maker who lives in the walls,'” Conell told Business Insider. “It was terrifying for the kids. Is he an evil man who makes chocolate or is the chocolate itself evil?”

Despite the sour affair, something sweet may come out of it. Bloody Disgusting has reported that a horror movie is being made based on The Unknown and may get a release as early as this year.

The horror publication quotes Kaledonia Pictures: “The film, gearing up for production and a late 2024 release, follows a renowned illustrator and his wife who are haunted by the tragic death of their son, Charlie. Desperate to escape their grief, the couple leave the world behind for the remote Scottish Highlands – where an unknowable evil awaits them.”

They add, “We are excited to begin production and look forward to sharing more with you as soon as possible. We are actually only a few miles from the event, so it is quite surreal to see Glasgow all over social media, worldwide.”
