The House That Jack Built – Director Lars von Trier Cuts Deeper!

By Leave a Comment

Horror movie director Lars von Trier cuts deeper and darker into the horror movie genre. The main issue is his brutality with women and children. A showing at The Cannes Film Festival had over 100 people walking out.  For many movies, this could signal an end in sight, but for a horror movie it often sends out signals flares of publicity!

Apparently, this is already working as the just-released trailer (below) has already been viewed nearly 1.5 million times.

The House That Jack Built is about a murder spree of a highly intelligent serial killer over the course of 12 years. It takes place in the 70’s. What evolves are the murders developping Jack into a serial killer.

It stars Matt Dillion and Uma Thurman.

The House That Jack Built is set to be released the in fall of this year.

By Zentropa Entertainments:

USA in the 1970s. We follow the highly intelligent Jack over a span of 12 years and are introduced to the murders that define Jack’s development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack’s point of view, while he postulates each murder is an artwork in itself. As the inevitable police intervention is drawing nearer, he is taking greater and greater risks in his attempt to create the ultimate artwork. Along the way we experience Jack’s descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge – a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and psychopathic explanations. The House That Jack Built is a dark and sinister story, yet presented through a philosophical and occasional humorous tale.

A Sneak Peek at The Clowntown Upcoming Horror Movie

By Leave a Comment

Did you know that millions of people suffer from acute Coulrophobia? The creators of Clowntown will surely be looking to prey on anyone with this irrational and terrifying fear of clowns in their upcoming movie.

About the Production

Drawing inspiration from real clowns who terrorized Bakersfield in California in 2014, Clowntown was written and produced by Jeff Miller. The horror film, which began shooting in May 2015 is the first feature from director Tom Nagel. It was shot in Cleveland, Crestline, and Westlake, Ohio and features a very attractive line-up of stars. Fans can look forward to seeing Brian Nagel (Brad), Lauren Elise (Sarah), Andrew Staton (Mike), Greg Violand (Frank), Jeff Denton, Katy Keen (Jill) Becky Ingram as Girl Clown and Alan Tuskes as the Axe Clown.

Clowntown Upcoming Horror Movie Plot

The movie takes us on a horrific journey that begins calmly with a pretty girl babysitting. She gets spooked by one of the children in a clown costume. It seems all fun and games until she viciously gets killed by a mysterious figure. Fast forward a little and we catch up with a group of friends who are traveling to catch a show. Lost and tired, they settle in a diner to regroup and leave after a while.

However, one of the girls forgets her phone in the restaurant and upon calling it, an odd fellow answers is and agrees to meet them in a small town up ahead. They make it to the seemingly deserted town and begin waiting for the man. Soon enough, night falls and they meet up with two men who are also lost. While trading stories, they get brutally attacked by a group of scary looking clowns armed to the teeth with knives and crowbars. It is this fantastically gory scene of violence and blood that welcomes fans to Clowntown. From here on out, it’s about trying to survive with a pack of psychopath clowns primed for blood.

Set to be released later on this year, fans of the horror/thriller genre can’t wait for upcoming Clowntown film. And understandably so! With a tagline like, They’ll (Tickle) Rip Out Your Funny Bone, it’s easy to see why everyone is eagerly anticipating the release.

The Blair Witch Project Sequel Shrouded in Secrecy

By Leave a Comment

Barely a few weeks ago, talking about the aversion that was Blair Witch Project seemed like a chilly, nostalgic throwback to when horror meant absolute gut-wrenching terror. The screens have not had something quite as apparitional and cadaverous since then. Perhaps that’s why a throng of horror film and gore fanatics crowded Comic-Con theaters to catch an all-new ‘The Woods’ movie. Little did they know what was brewing behind the charade. It was all shock and awe as fans got the ultimate double whammy at the spectacular reveal of the all-time favorite; Blair Witch Project.

Lionsgate decided to pull one over unsuspecting horror fans in a spectacular caliber of privacy that Hollywood rarely enjoys anymore. It was as Comic-Con where the studio pulled off a coup by uttering two simple words; Blair Witch. That’s not all; after proudly announcing a third Blair Witch film in the kitchen, Lionsgate then went ahead to screen the entire complete movie to a theater full of dedicated, unwitting horror fans who showed up waiting to see the brand new horror flick; The Woods. Surprise, surprise; nobody saw this one coming.

The Woods was filmed lock, stock and barrel chock-full of secrecy without as much as a hint. It will be the first real sequel to 1999’s Blair Witch Project which pulled an astounding $248 million at the box office as a pioneering piece in the horror industry. For those old enough to recall the first found footage horror movie that sent icy chills through the spines of countless Americans, they know who to thank. The original Blair Witch Project was written and edited by spook geniuses Eduardo Sanchez and Daniel Myrick.

Now, while Book of Shadows or Blair Witch 2 did try to make an (unsuccessful) appearance back in 2000, critics argue it performed moderately because it abandoned the original found footage technique that worked wonders the first time around.

For horror film enthusiasts who haven’t caught the trailer, it seems this Blair Witch Project sequel will fall back to its tried and tested formula for success. That’s right; it even goes as far as continuing the plot with the original character’s brother looking to solve the fearsome mystery of his sister’s disappearance. After finding a new tape on the outskirts of the wood, the main character assembles a team to document the search for his lost sibling. Much like the original movie, crazy and bizarre things start to happen after setting up camp. Buckle up, it only gets bloodier and more ominous from here.

While this particular sequel does not feature any members of its predecessor’s writers or stars, the creative team here are no slouches. Far from it; Writer Simon Barett and Director Adam Wingard collaborated to bring forth this unerringly ghoulish work of art. The movie itself can only be described as an outright assault on the senses, guaranteed to shake even the toughest fans to the core. A must watch.

Final Destination 6

By Leave a Comment

No film exploits the jeopardy of everyday life quite like the gore-horror film Final Destination. Beginning with seemingly ‘run-of-the-mill’ accidents- roller coaster fates to racetrack explosions, and escalating to the very bizarre deaths- fans are introduced to the maze of just how far Final Destination will go to punish those who cheat death. Ultimately, one can only cheat death so many times.

The sixth movie in the franchise film Final Destination has long been rumored to become a reality, but despite recent reports made by key actors from the film, nothing has come to fruition. Is death perhaps enjoying its time off? Well, it’s been almost five years since Final Destination 5 hit the theatres, and aficionadas can’t seem to let the fatalities rest in peace.

Tony Todd, best known as Candyman, recently told fans at Texas Frightmare that the script for the film was written and that shooting would commence before the end of this year. As a recurring actor in the hit franchise, his word seemed reliable enough to confirm the long overdue wait.

Unfortunately, none of it is true. Producers have denied Todd’s claims that Final Destination 6 was to be released by the end of summer. As of this writing, there are no actual details as to when the movie will indeed start filming. In fact, there isn’t any major progress the promising sequel has made as of now.

But this doesn’t necessarily mean that Final Destination 6 won’t shape up, just probably not as soon as Tony Todd supposes. Would he really tell his fans about a possible release if he knew nothing at all? Certainly not. Maybe the producers were exploring the possibilities of production, and Todd snitched on the thought before final decisions were made.

The wind-up of Final Destination 5 managed to wrap the franchise full circle together, so the idea of another release was almost unforeseen. However, fans can rest assured that the film is far from dead; after all, it is a prisoner of its own formula. Meanwhile, they can share the love of the film on socials and keep the fire burning as New Line continues to do what they do best.
