Written and directed by John Krasinski, A Quiet Place Part II is ever so intense as its predecessor.
Following the deadly events at home, the Abbott family, played by Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, and Noah Jupe, must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Forced to venture into the unknown, they quickly realize that the creatures that hunt by sound are not the only threats that lurk beyond the sand path.
Why is Noah Jupe looking in a different direction? Does he have something to hide?
I watched the following three clips, and they had me jumping out of my seat. The creatures are darting here and there, freaking me out.
The feature introduces us to Cillian Murphy’s character, and he’s phenomenal.
Written and directed by Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz, Antebellum follows Veronica Henley, played by Janelle Moná. She is a successful author and finds herself trapped in a horrifying existence. The short trailer shows her going from the civil war era to modern time. And it’s creepy. There is a place that is the Antebellum era from history as a thriller, and the fourth trailer seems to indicate it is in the movie, too.
Her necessity to uncover the mind-bending mystery before it’s too late is the force of the movie. The 911 call is coming from her or someone else? The image of the butterfly on the poster is intriguing.
Lionsgate calls the movie a terrifying new thriller, and Bush and Renz are reasonably new filmmakers. The rest of the cast includes Marque Richardson II, Eric Lange, Jack Huston, Kiersey Clemons, Tongayi Chirisa, Gabourey Sidibe, Rob Aramayo, Lily Cowles, and Jena Malone.
Leigh Whannell, one of the original conceivers of the Saw franchise who most recently directed Upgrade and Insidious: Chapter 3, wrote and directed The Invisible Man. The movie stars Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss in a terrifying modern tale of obsession inspired by Universal’s classic monster character.
The movie is streaming on Amazon, the Blu-ray and DVD are available as well.
Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass, played by Moss, escapes in the dead of night, She disappears into hiding, aided by her sister, played by Harriet Dyer. The sisters hook up with their childhood friend, played by Aldis Hodge, and his teenage daughter, played by Storm Reid, who also helps her disappear.
The film moves and twists with this sicko driving her crazy by being invisible. Moss is so dedicated to her role, as you can see in the trailers.
The second trailer is even better.
The next two movie clips are intense, but one is in the trailer. I am curious as to what happens after Moss’s character gets the paint on the invisible man.
The featurette is quick and focuses on the 15-year old daughter.
The next two featurettes show the house where a lot of the action happens. Moss talks at the round table is very sure of her role and the movie.
The studio released the next two featurettes after the movie stole the box office weekend and, and the featurettes tell us more about the film. Moss reading the script is a fabulous idea.
Directed by Nicolas Pesce, The Grudge stars Andrea Riseborough, Demián Bichir, John Cho, Betty Gilpin, Lin Shaye, and Jacki Weaver.
The screenplay by Nicolas Pesce and a story by Nicolas Pesce and Jeff Buhler, The Grudge storyline, comes from the film Ju-On: The Grudge, written and directed by Takashi Shimizu.
Produced by Sami Raimi, The Grudge is a twisted take on Shimizu’s horror classic. I couldn’t watch the trailer because it was too scary.
The featurette explains how the story is based on a Japanese film, yet the American version is scarier. If you love horror, you will love this featurette.
The following three clips show how creepy and scary the movie is. The bathtub scene is the worst one out of all the clips — super frightening.
From the script written by Sophia Takal and April Wolfe with Takal also directing, Black Christmas is a horror Christmas movie that is something to consider for the holidays. If you are a diehard fan of the genre, here comes a timely horror movie that takes on the 1974 slasher classic and sets the present tone as a campus killer faces a challenging group of friends in sisterhood.

Whoever the killer is, he’s about to discover that this generation’s young women aren’t about to be anybody’s victims.
The next two clips lack information about the movie. They give you an idea of how the film flows.
Directed by Floria Sigismondi, The Turning tells the story involving more than 100 years of a profoundly haunting tale passed down to terrify audiences.
The movie begins at a perplexing estate in the Maine countryside, where newly appointed nanny Kate, played by MacKenzie Davis, is charged with the care of two disturbed orphans, Flora and Miles, played by Brooklynn Prince and Finn Wolfhard. Soon enough, she learns that both the children and the house are withholding dark secrets, and things may not be as they seem.
Inspired by Henry James’ landmark novel, the haunted-house thriller is a spellbinding tale written for the screen by Chad and Carey Hayes. Davis’ acting talents include Tully and Terminator: Dark Fate. Wolfhard’s talents began with Stranger Things. Brooklynn Prince is a newcomer while Joely Richardson starred in Red Sparrow and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
The soundtrack is a bit off, but the movie looks scary enough for horror fans.

It tells her she only has three days to live. With the clock ticking and a figure haunting her, she must find a way to save her life before time runs out.
Elizabeth Lail and Charlie McDermott also star in this funny but horrific movie.
The movie trailer is intense, and horror fans get their blood pumped.
The next two clips are scary and creepy. But, I am not sure if the dude is for real. In the last clip, he doesn’t seem all that concerned about his countdown.
Written by Rob Hayes and directed by Osgood Perkins, Gretel & Hansel is not the fairytale we are familiar with but rather a horror movie.
The movie follows a young girl, played by Sophia Lillis, who leads her little brother, played by Sammy Leakey, into a dark, ominous forest. Like a long time ago in a distant fairytale countryside story, the brother and sister are in desperate search of food and work, only to stumble upon the very core of terrifying evil.
Perkins is also a writer and an actor who played a minor role in Legally Blonde. He is the son of actor Anthony Perkins of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho.
Gretel & Hansel also stars Charles Babalola, Alice Krige, and Jessica De Gouw.
The featurette discusses how fairy tales are scary.
Directed by Scott Cooper, Antlers is a horror movie beyond horror movies. In a small-town Oregon, the story follows a young boy, played by Jeremy T. Thomas, who is creepy when he reads his story to his teacher, Keri Russell.
His story is so diabolical that it is undeniably evil and insane. The teacher’s brother is a sheriff, played by Jesse Plemons, and together they investigate the possible horrors within this boy’s life.
The teacher and her brother discover that the boy is harboring a dangerous secret with frightening consequences relating to ancestral spirits of some kind.
Guillermo Del Toro is one of the producers of the movie. Based on the short story The Quiet Boy by Nick Antosca, the screenplay by Henry Chaisson and Nick Antosca with revisions by Cooper.
“I couldn’t be more excited to begin production on Antlers with Guillermo Del Toro, and reunite with my dear friends at Fox Searchlight,” said Cooper. “They’re incredible filmmakers – not to mention necessary filmmakers – and are extremely passionate and supportive of my vision as I venture into yet another genre, and delve into the unnerving world of ancestral spirits.”
The second trailer is creepy without telling us anything about the storyline.
The third trailer is a redband trailer, but it doesn’t seem that gross or disgusting.
