Kristen Stewart is trapped 7 miles below the surface.
Directed by William Eubank, the studios promote Underwater as being about “a crew of underwater researchers must scramble to safety after an earthquake devastates their subterranean laboratory.”
Now, that is far from what is in the movie trailer. The poster says, “…something has awakened.” Horror best describes this movie starring Kristen Stewart, T.J. Miller, Vincent Cassel, John Gallagher Jr., Jessica Henwick, Mamoudou Athie, and Gunner Wright.
Eubank started his film career as a second unit director and cinematographer. Now, he is a director, including the movies The Signal and Love, which won an award for Athens International Film Festival Best Director as well as Motion Picture Sound Editors, USA sound editing – direct to video.
Gunner Wright starred in Love about an astronaut in continuous orbit around Earth, out of communication with Houston, doing maintenance, reading old messages, and reading a journal from Civil War veteran.
Stewart looks good in the trailer donning a bra and short blonde hair. She is the focus of the story. A story that is not delineated by the studios yet. It looks terrifying and was shot well by Eubank.
The following clips show they are in deep trouble, and there is no safe way out of the situation.
Abigail Breslin, Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Jesse Eisenberg return to fight more Zombies.
Ten years ago, Zombieland became a hit and a cult classic that was fun to watch because it is such a wisecracking movie.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer, who directed Venom, the sequel, Zombieland 2: Double Tap seems as ridiculous as the first movie with the lead cast consisting of Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Emma Stone. They reunite with director Ruben Fleischer and the original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick.
In the sequel with Dave Callaham coming on board as the third writer, the comic mayhem continues from the first movie. The story stretches from the White House and through the heartland.
The four slayers must face off against the many new kinds of zombies that have evolved since the first movie, as well as some new human survivors. But most of all, they have to face the growing pains of their own cynical, make-do family.
The featurette tells us how the second movie differs from the first. It appears to be a lot more crazy and bazaar that the first one.
The second trailer shows how silly the movie will be in the theatres and the problem with the zombies being faster.
The movie clip shows the movie has the same humor as the first movie.
We have two more clips for you, and they prove to show us that the movie is different, including a mystery behind the copycats.
They are the hunted and unaware that their lives are in danger.
Directed by Craig Zobel, The Hunt begins when twelve strangers wake up in a clearing. They don’t know where they are or how they got there. They are unaware of the fact they are part of a hunt.
In the shadow of a dark internet conspiracy theory, a group of globalist elites gathers at a remote Manor House to hunt humans for sport for the very first time. But the elites’ master plan is about to be derailed because one of the hunted, Crystal, played by Betty Gilpin, the hunters’ game better than they do. She turns the tables on the killers, picking them off, one by one, as she makes her way toward the mysterious woman, played by Hilary Swank, at the center of it all.
For a horror movie, The Hunt includes underlying humor with an intensity boiling to eruption.
Jason Blum is the producer, and of late, he has produced horror movie after movie. He is best known for the films Get Out and Halloween. Damon Lindelof is also a producer, and Nick Cuse wrote the mysterious social thriller. Craig Zobel is known for directing Z for Zachariah and The Leftovers.
The rest of the cast includes Ike Barinholtz and Emma Roberts.
Because the movie was politically not correct, in so many ways, Blumhouse pulled the film indefinitely, but it looks like it is back and coming at us full speed.
Directed by Tyler Gillett and Matt Bettinelli-Olpin, Ready or Not is a quirky horror movie about newlyweds who go through a deadly ritual with the family after the wedding.
Samara Weaving plays the young bride, and Mark O’Brien plays her new husband. Her husband’s family is wealthy and eccentric, played by Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, and Andie MacDowell, in a time-honored tradition that turns into a deadly game where everyone fights for survival.
The screenplay by Guy Busick and Ryan Murphy is funny, but it might miss the mark. Here are the red band and green band trailers.
The first available clip sets up the story well. The characters are a little overdramatic, but it’s supposed to be the humorous side of the movie.
The “Heat Start” movie clip shows the dangerous side of the game, while some of the family members are hesitant to play the inevitable game.
The following three featurettes show how the movie filmed the scenes and the different costumes of the same wedding dress get thrashed.
Directed by Alexandre Aja, Crawl is more than about a massive hurricane hitting a Florida hometown. Haley, played by Kaya Scodelario, ignores evacuation orders to search for her missing father, played by Barry Pepper. Crawl is an intense horror thriller.
She finds him gravely injured in the crawl space of their family home. The two become trapped by swiftly encroaching floodwaters. Their time to escape runs out, and the strengthening storm with rising water levels is not what is threatening their survival. Haley and her father must contend with a humongous and vicious alligator.
Scodelario is best known for the Maze Runner franchise, and Pepper starred in two of the Maze Runner movies: The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure.
Aja is best known for his horror movie The Hills Have Eyes. He worked alongside producers Craig Flores, who produced 300, and Sam Raimi, who made Don’t Breathe and Evil Deadand directed some of the earlier Spider-man movies.
The following two clips show how intensely they play the scenes out, with the gators jumping out from nowhere and attacking the humans. The second clip had me jumping out of my skin.
Kaya Scodelario, as Haley, is trying to reach a rescue team.
Written and directed by Jim Jarmusch, The Dead Don’t Die takes place in a peaceful town of Centerville. The inhabitants find themselves battling an enormous amount of zombies as the dead rise from their graves.
Focus Featurettes is calling this more “the greatest zombie cast ever disassembled.” The all-star cast includes Bill Murray, Adam Driver, Tilda Swinton, Chloë Sevigny, Steve Buscemi, Danny Glover, Caleb Landry Jones, Rosie Perez, Iggy Pop, Sara Driver, RZA, Selena Gomez, Carol Kane, and Tom Waits.
Jarmusch worked with both Murray and Driver in Broken Flowers and Paterson respectively.
Watching the trailer is so funny. I bellied laughed and laughed. The cast must have had a great time filming this movie. It’s hilarious.
Directed by Tate Taylor, who brought us The Help, brings us a completely different genre – a horror movie. Ma follows Sue Ann, played by Octavia Spencer, as she appears friendly and welcomes all the teenagers to her house to party in the basement.
All fun and games don’t appear to be all that fun. Everybody’s welcome at Ma’s. But good luck getting home safe.
Sue Ann is a loner who keeps to herself in her quiet Ohio town. One day, she is asked by Maggie, played by Diana Slivers, a new teenager in town to buy some booze for her and her friends. Sue Ann takes advantage of unsuspecting teens and some younger friends.
She offers the kids the chance to avoid drinking and driving by hanging out in the basement of her home. But there are some house rules: One of the kids has to stay sober. Don’t curse. Never go upstairs. And call her “Ma.”
But as Ma’s hospitality starts to curdle into obsession, what began as a teenage dream turns into a terrorizing nightmare, and Ma’s place goes from the best place in town to the worst place on earth.
In the movie trailer, we see her hit and run a person that looks like a man or boy. Thinking about The Help where the unsuspecting housewife eats a pie made of shit from Spencer’s character, Taylor is not going to hold any bunches in this movie.
Ma also stars Juliette Lewis, Luke Evans, Missi Pyle, McKaley Miller, Corey Fogelmanis,, Gianni Paolo, and Dante Brown.
The screenplay is by Scotty Landes, who wrote the episodic Workaholics.
The movie clips show how evil or conniving Ma is with the kids. The interviews are spoilers, and we find out the mother, Lewis, confronts Ma. They confront each other and fight with some sort of explosion at the end.
The interviews with Taylor reveal his long-term relationship with Spencer. They were roommates for seven years. Slivers and Lewis’s interview sheds light on how the movie covers current social topics like bullying, social media, and underage drinking.
A remake is a remake. Directed by Lars Klevberg, Child’s Play arrives again with the studio saying, “A contemporary re-imagining of the 1988 horror classic. “
I guess horror fans, who love Chuckie, will follow Karen, played by Aubrey Plaza, a single mother. She gifts her son Andy, played by Gabriel Bateman, a Buddy doll, unaware of its more sinister nature.
Lars Klevberg directed Polaroid and Tyler Burton Smith wrote the screenplay. Smith’s credits include Kung Fury 2 and Quantum Break. Never heard of them.
Seeing a doll hold a kitchen knife is funny, if not cheesy. The movie is for horror fans who are obsessed with Chuckie.
The following trailer shows Andy has no friends because he moved to a new neighborhood. The app called Buddi sets the pace of a horrific doll that comes after these people who live in the area.
Now, Andy has friends who are helping him destroy Chuckie. I chuckled at some of the scenes. It’s pretty funny to see a doll drag with a kitchen knife.
The featurette is funny with the producers saying they had to get Chuckie right. Chuckie is a horror icon, and you don’t want to create a doll that looks cheesy. Then, here comes Cheesy Chuckie. All kidding aside, the fact that they used six different electronic dolls to portray Chuckie is impressive.
The featurette “Meet the Cast” needs no introduction because you meet the cast and understand how their characters play into the horror movie.
Directed by André Øvredal, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is inspired by one of the most horrific and terrifying children’s book series of the same name authored by Alvin Schwartz. The movie follows a group of young teens. Each teen must try and solve the mystery surrounding sudden and macabre deaths in their small town.
The ensemble cast includes Zoe Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush, Austin Abrams, Dean Norris, Gil Bellows, Lorraine Toussaint, Austin Zajur, and Natalie Ganzhorn.
Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman hold top billing as screenwriters of the movie, and four more screenwriters worked on the script, including Guillermo del Toro, one of the producers. Øvredal directing credits include Trollhunter and The Autopsy of Jane Doe, both scary and creepy movies.
The four TV spots that arrived during the Super Bowl commercials were being touted. Keep in mind these TV spots are short and quick to the scare.
The TV spots arrived before the trailer, and now, the trailer is here. Scary Stories is a horror movie with different related stories as the movie. The public will flock to the box office when it comes to horror movies. This movie will be no different.
The trailer presentation featurette tells us how the movie idea started with Guillermo del Toro. He talks about collaborating with Øvredal.
The next trailer tells us more about the book of scary stories and promotes the director and producer of the horror movie.
The next movie trailer shows us more of the horrific aspects of the movie. Each scary story is told as a lesson learned.
The featurette is creepy and sets up a conceptual understanding of what to expect from the movie in general. The idea that these are old and simple horror stories told over a campfire is intriguing.
The next three featurettes are scary and creepy.
The interview with the producer and director is worth watching.
Written and directed by Jordan Peele, Us follows a family on a summer vacation. The focus of the promotion of this movie is the filmmaker and Oscar winner Jordan Peele. Peele made a name for himself by creating the box office and sleeper hit Get Out.
The horror movie is popular with a strong show at the box office. The Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming on-demand are happening. Now is your chance to see the movie or see it again.
IMDB plot summary says the movie is about a mother and father, who take their kids to their beach house. They are expecting to enjoy time with friends, but their serenity turns to tension and chaos when some visitors arrive uninvited.
On the coattails of his success, Universal Studios says Peele is bringing an original and provocative thriller to the movie theaters. By watching the movie trailer, it appears there is a family on vacation who has an encounter with another creepy family that looks and sounds just like them. The trailer shows screaming, blood, and the family struggling to survive. I am curious about the significance of the scissors, though. They appear in the poster and trailer. The weaving of each character’s profile view is mysterious and unnerving. I am spooked just thinking about this trailer.
The cast is impressive with Lupita Nyong’o, who won the 2019 New York Film Critics Circle for Best Actress, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, Tim Heidecker, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Anna Diop, Evan Alex, Shahadi Wright Joseph, Madison Curry, Cali Sheldon, and Noelle Sheldon.
The second trailer is better because Nyong’o’s line about coincidences and things lining up means something, like a dark cloud. Creepy! Horror movie fans rejoice. A horror movie intelligently put together to scare the hell out of you.
Moss attended the red carpet premiere of the movie at SXSW. In this interview, she explains why this is her first time seeing the movie. She also talks about working with the director.
Watching these featurettes brings an understanding that Peele’s movies are not just horror movies. They resonate with learned and well-thought-out Hitchcock movies, with an undercurrent of meanings to the overall story and imagery.
Director Peele talks about making horror movies and why he likes making them. The audiences drive him in this direction of moviemaking.
The following featurettes are about Peele as a storyteller and his reasoning behind making this movie. One particular featurette he talks about is “Doppelgangers.” The word is German and means a double walker. The folklore about this phenomenon is a non-biological look-alike, such as a ghost or an evil twin. Doppelgangers are a sign of bad luck.
Peele refers to movies that use the doppelgänger angle, such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo. Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield comes to mind. The darker version or morally inverse character of his story – is Orlick.
