Dead Rising Coming to the Big Screen…Kinda

dead-rising-e3-2006-pic4-2It’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-a-venirParanormal 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

Return of the Killer Klown…Prank

Killer_Klowns_from_outer_space_by_MakinitaA 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!

WWE Studios/Lionsgate Release First Full Leprechaun Trailer

LeprechaunI’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

TheWalkingDeadWallpaper4AMC’s The Walking Dead – the adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s awesome Image comic series – is entering its fifth season this coming October.
