In 1986, Witchboard put a curse on moviegoers, and it spawned two sequels. On August 15th, Witchboard is getting a remake that feels more like an ’80s movie than the original.
In New Orleans, Emily (Madison Iseman) and her fiancé Christian (Aaron Dominguez) are opening their new dream café. But their dreams are dashed when Emily finds an ancient, cursed Witchboard, an ancient artifact that once served as a gateway to the spirit world. As Emily becomes increasingly captivated by the board’s ability to summon spirits, Christian seeks the expertise of Alexander Babtiste (Jamie Campbell Bower), an enigmatic occult scholar. As Emily’s grip on reality weakens, Babtiste’s true intentions come to light—to use the Witchboard’s dark power for his own twisted purposes.
Culminating in a decadent masked ball at Babtiste’s mansion, the line between temptation and terror blurs as Emily and Christian find themselves trapped in a deadly web of witchcraft and dark desires. Emily and Christian must race against time to break the board’s curse before they succumb to its deadly power!
I hope this film is better than the ’86 movie it is based on because I shut that piece of crap off after a half hour. And that was when I was a fan of Stephen Nichols.
There is a new movie coming out this Summer and it is going to be icky. That is because it is called Ick.
From acclaimed director Joseph Kahn comes his latest film, ICK, a pulpy horror comedy bursting with splattery bedlam starring Brandon Routh, Malina Weissman, and Mena Suvari. For almost two decades, a viscous vine-like growth known colloquially as “The Ick” has benignly crept into every nook and cranny of American life while the residents of small town Eastbrook remain blasé about its existence. The exceptions are former high school football star-turned-hapless science teacher Hank (Routh) and his sardonically perceptive student Grace (Weissman), who are thrown together by Grace’s mom Staci’s (Suvari) closely-guarded secret and a mutual suspicion that the Ick is about to unleash some monstrous mayhem.
Fathom Entertainment is bringing Ick to theaters for just three days on July 27, 28, and 29
On Friday, Sony and Screen Gems are releasing Until Dawn in movie theaters. But they have a challenge for people who want to see the film early.
Tomorrow, starting at 7p in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, Chicago, Washington D.C., Denver, Atlanta, and Miami, they are asking fans of Horror to watch the movie nonstop in repeat from 7p until 6:45a.
Sounds easy? It is not. The rules say, “There is no dozing off, no bathroom breaks, no phones.” They had me until they said no phones. I cannot go that long without my phone!
However, if you can do all of that, then you win an undisclosed prize!
Why are they doing this contest? This is what Until Dawn is about: One year after her sister Melanie mysteriously disappeared, Clover and her friends head into the remote valley where she vanished in search of answers. Exploring an abandoned visitor center, they find themselves stalked by a masked killer and horrifically murdered one by one…only to wake up and find themselves back at the beginning of the same evening. Trapped in the valley, they’re forced to relive the night again and again – only each time the killer threat is different, each more terrifying than the last. Hope dwindling, the group soon realizes they have a limited number of deaths left, and the only way to escape is to survive until dawn.
Do you think you have what it takes to survive until dawn?
Back in 1978, Warren Beatty wrote, starred, and directed in a movie called Heaven Can Wait. He played LA Rams’ Quarterback Joe Pendleton, a man who was mistakenly taken up to heaven by an angel. While he is there, he is told his actual death date was March 20, 2025.
That date seemed so far away, 47 years ago. But today, it is the day! I would love to know how Beatty feels about that. Because he actually lived long enough to see it.
I wonder why he picked this date. It was so random back then, and now it is a reality.
Also, back then, it felt like the Rams would stay in LA forever. But the football team spent about 20 years in St. Louis. Thankfully, they came back in time to celebrate Joe Pendleton’s death day.
Thanks to Alison Martino for sharing this tidbit. I love it when predicted dates in entertainment actually turn into that day on the calendar. I don’t know why, but it is so cool. For example, George Jetson’s birthday was July 31, 2022, and Marty McFly traveled to October 21, 2015.
If you are like me, then you love a good comedic Creature Feature. On April 29th, we are getting that in Big Freaking Rat on home video.
Ranger Brody (starring Scott C. Roe), along with his niece and nephew, works on opening a campsite for the season. All seems to be going well until a gigantic rat, mutated by years of hazardous waste dumping, starts killing people and going crazy.
I think a lot of people, after watching this trailer, will want to stream this film because it will remind them of Cocaine Bear. I am going to watch it because these are the movies I live for, even though almost everyone dies in it. Will you be watching with me?
Let’s be honest. With everything going on these days, we need something like this. Let’s just hope we make it to the release date.
