Honeydew is about a young couple that, after being stranded while camping, seeks refuge at the farm of an eccentric old woman.  They soon find out that the woman and her family are not as friendly as they initially seemed.

This 2020 fish-out-of-water movie is a creepfest.  Malin Barr and Sawyer Spielberg play the couple, Barbara Kingsley is the old woman, and Lena Dunham shows up in a surprise role.  Check out Honeydew here at TubiTV.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976), courtesy American International Pictures (AIP).

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane is a 1976 movie about a young girl who leads a fiercely independent lifestyle without any adults.  And she’ll go to great lengths to preserve that independent lifestyle.

This is a pretty disturbing little flick.  Jodie Foster turns in a terrific performance as the girl, and Martin Sheen pops in as one of the threats to her isolation.  Catch The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane here, also at TubiTV.

Freaks (2018), courtesy Well Go USA Entertainment.

Freaks

Freaks is about a little girl who has a strange power.  Her father has kept her sequestered from the general public, but when she sneaks out, she discovers a world she never knew existed.

Made in 2018, Freaks is a fairly standard modern psychic powered kid movie.  It’s a fun one, though.  Lexy Kolker stars as the little girl, Emile Hirsch plays her father, and Bruce Dern is her grandfather.  See Freaks here at Crackle.

Trick or Treats (1982), courtesy Lone Star Pictures International.

Trick or Treats

Not to be confused with the similarly named rock & roll horror movie Trick or Treat, Trick or Treats is about a babysitter who is watching a young boy on Halloween.  Things get a little complicated when the boy’s father, recently escaped from a mental asylum, comes around looking for blood and vengeance.

The director of Trick or Treats, Gary Graver, is better known for his work in soft-core porn, with titles such as Three Men and a Hooker and The Silence of the Buns on his resume.  Because of this, Trick or Treats looks like, well, a horror movie that was made by an adult film director.  This 1982 pseudo-slasher isn’t one of the better movies from the golden age, but it definitely has its moments.  You can see all of Trick or Treats’ moments here at TubiTV.

 

Wolf (1994), courtesy Columbia Pictures.

Wolf

Wolf is a 1994 movie about a book publisher who is worn out and down on his luck.  His life turns around when he is bitten by a werewolf and, subsequently, becomes one himself.  Unfortunately, being a werewolf has a downside, too.

This clever reimagining of the werewolf trope has an extremely accomplished cast for a monster movie, with an ensemble that includes Jack Nicholson in the lead role and Michelle Pfeiffer, James Spader, Richard Jenkins, Christopher Plummer, and David Hyde Pierce in support.  This is one of those nineties highbrow horror monster movies, but it lacks the pretension of, say, Bram Stoker’s Dracula.  Catch Wolf here, once again 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.”
