It’s hard to believe that Dead Rising made its debut on the Xbox 360 eight long years ago. It was the reason my wife and I even got an Xbox 360, and now, six games later and we’re finally getting a feature-length movie adaptation.
Now before you get too excited, you should know that this won’t see a theatrical release. Instead, it will premiere as a timed exclusive on Crackle, Sony’s VOD platform, before it’s made available on-demand elsewhere and on physical media. Continue reading

Paranormal Activity 5: the next planned release in Paramount Pictures’ successful found footage franchise is now reportedly being pushed back to 2016.
The film was originally said to be having trouble finding a cool new take on the found footage/ghost genre, this is the reason that Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones nearly became the fifth film, and was released this past January. Fortunately, it didn’t perform as well as expected, and now it looks as if the studio is taking a (smart) breather. Continue reading

A few weeks back we posted a hilarious video of a creepy clown, waiting for unsuspecting passerbys and “crushing the head” of a dummy with a mallet and then chasing his new victims. Obviously this video was huge, so huge in fact he’s back for round 2!
Watch the video in the comments. On a side note, how long before we hear about one of these guys getting knocked out? Continue reading
As a special Friday the 13th treat, Anchor Bay and Scream Factory have revealed the box art for the beyond epic Halloween: The Complete Collection, which slashes onto Blu-ray September 23rd. It comes in two different sets, one with 10 discs and the other with 15, but the deluxe version is most certainly the way to go since it contains restored versions of alternate cuts of many of the films.

The full trailer for the second season of the Emmy nominated Netflix original series, Hemlock Grove, has been released (in the comments) and it looks a lot less Twilighty bromance.
The gory supernatural dramatic thriller from executive producer Eli Roth will premiere on Friday, July 11th at 12:01 AM PT.
Executive Producer Eli Roth says Netflix supported them taking the series in a “dangerous direction” stating that “they encouraged us to go even further – into a scarier, darker, and sexier place,” he explained. “We guarantee you won’t see anything like this anywhere else on television.” Continue reading
I’ve got to admit, I had no expectations for WWE Studios & Lionsgate’s Leprechaun: Origins, a reboot of the horror cult classic Leprechaun. I’m actually pretty excited now, I mean it’s WWE so it’s probably still incredibly racist, and all together mishandled; but this trailer looks like Pumpkinhead meets Texas Chainsaw, meets Wrong Turn…in Ireland.
Still not getting my hopes up, but I’m Irish, so I’ll probably see it…and I’ll probably be drunk and think it was great. Look for it in theathers and VOD August 26, and DVD on September 30. Continue reading for the trailer. Continue reading
