The next time someone tells you they’re ending a franchise, don’t believe them. Warner Bros. titled ‘Final Destination 4′ as ‘The Final Destination’ solely on the fact that it was meant to be the last (also turned out to be the worst) film in the series. But that film earned more than any other in [...]
‘Quarantine 2′ Is Happening, Won’t Follow ‘Rec 2′ But Will Be Set At Airport

The Spanish horror film ‘Rec’, as I’ve vocally said before, is one of the most frightening and well-made horror films ever. The U.S. was quick to cash in their own shot-to-shot remake ‘Quarantine’ that was a success but was ultimately a pointless exercise. Then came along ‘Rec 2′ (yet to be released here) that’s more [...]

A heated battle between two studios for their cash-cow horror franchises has just been initiated. Last week, we reported that the director of Saw VI Kevin Greurtert had been hired to direct ‘Paranormal Activity 2′ which was set to open this Halloween right up against ‘Saw VII 3-D’. Lionsgate has just gave its comeback. Deadline [...]

This is the most ironic news ever. The director of a movie which got creamed at the box office due to another movie is directing the sequel to that movie. That didn’t make so much sense either. THR reports that director Kevin Greutert, who directed ‘Saw VI’, has signed on to direct the sequel to [...]

Two more posters for movies that a part of the annual Afterdark ’8 Films to Die For’ festival were released. One of them is an Australian faux documentary horror and the other is an intriguingly titled horror film. “Lake Mungo” picks up with the accidental drowning of a 16-year-old girl.

Long ago, an American remake for the Spanish horror film ‘The Orphanage’ was announced. Fear not, since Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy) himself is producing the venture. And now a director is named. Mark Pellington, the director of Arlington Road (a personal favorite) and The Mothman Prophecies, is helming the remake. The Mothman Prophecies itself was [...]

Two new horror posters were released this week and both look pretty creepy. First up is the poster for the next from AfterDark Films called ‘The Final’. The visual style is slick and the chalk writing at the back is creepy although it reminds me of the poster for ‘The Ring Two’ for some reason. [...]

When I first heard of Nicolas Cage doing a horror film, I almost cried. The memory of the god-awful ‘Wickerman’ is still fresh in my mind no matter how much I try to erase it. Only when I read more about it did my fears begin to go away. And now the trailer actually looks [...]
