Clive Barker Will Script The Hellraiser Remake, Doug Bradley May Return

Rumors of a Hellraiser remake have been circling for years now, but as plans have been consistently falling through, fans have only had the "pleasure" of seeing sequel after sequel - the last four of which have gone straight to home video. Hell, the last (awful) sequel didn't even have Doug Bradley playing the titular torturer, and honestly, with such disgraceful sequels being churned out at an alarming rate, I was finding it hard to even care about a full-fledged remake of the original.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Will Have A Shredder That We’ve Never Seen Before

Alright Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle purists, get ready to curse Jonathan Liebesman's name once again. Remember the Shredder character you've come to love? The Japanese ninjutsu master named Oroku Saki? Well, you should have already known some creative liberties would be taken considering American actor William Fichtner was cast as "The Shredder" in Liebesman's reboot, but those liberties may be larger than expected as Shredder will apparently be presented in a completely fresh manner.

Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones Drops International Trailer

As a horror fan, something feels very amiss this Halloween season. What's October without a Paranormal Activity movie? How am I supposed to function after growing so accustom to the "found footage" scares that Oren Peli and company have been delivering for the last four years! I'm all itchy and anxious - I think I'm going through Paranormal Activity withdrawal.

Resolution Blu-Ray Review

Furious that I missed Resolution during its Tribeca run in 2012, I've been anxiously waiting to get my grubby paws on a copy of the Blu-Ray for review - and it didn't disappoint. Writer/director Justin Benson and director Aaron Moorhead created a tantalizing bit of mindfuckery that exemplifies all the best aspects of independent filmmaking, not really adhering to one single genre. While most assuredly a psychological horror film, there are moments of lighthearted, comical banter, and also dramatic, tension filled scenes full of mystery. It's a bit of a tonal mish mosh, but the flavors are all farm fresh, grade A quality - in other words, they work wonderfully together.

Dead In Tombstone Blu-Ray Review

Danny Trejo is 69 years old and still kicking ass - much more ass than he should be. It'd be one thing if his only leading role this year was Machete Kills, but Trejo has a whole list of titles he'll be appearing in this year alone, with his most recent action adventure being Dead In Tombstone. Directed by Roel Reiné (Death Race 2/Death Race: Inferno), Trejo brings hell to Earth in this undead Western thriller, making a deal with the Devil, played by none other than Mickey Rourke. If Guerrero (Trejo) can deliver the souls of the six men who double-crossed him, he'll save his own hell-cursed afterlife - assuming he can trust the Devil.

Best Man Down Review

Best Man Down strikes a blissful tonal mix that turns one man's death into another man's enlightening journey, as both Justin Long and Tyler Labine flex their dramatic acting muscles.

The Conjuring Blu-Ray Review

It's always a good idea to go out on top, right? If James Wan were reading this, he'd agree wholeheartedly, as this year's red-hot horror director has apparently retired from the genre after exploding in 2013. Sure, I loved Insidious: Chapter 2, but The Conjuring was the James Wan directed horror film to break numerous box office records, including "Largest Opening For An Original Horror Film" and "Warner Bros.' Largest 3-Day Opening For A Horror Film" - and with good reason.
