Before making The Woman in Black, James Watkins wrote and directed Eden Lake, which centered on a couple being terrorized by a band of evil kids while on a romantic getaway. Thoroughly disturbing, the British film made some powerful statements about humanity, resonating in such a way that the passage of time since first experiencing …
I often find myself EXTREMELY conflicted when it comes to sequels. A huge portion of my brain knows they are normally a bad idea, doing nothing but diluting a story and its characters while tarnishing a unique original movie in the pursuit of more dollars. But there is also a deep dark corner, tucked well …
Legend has it that George Romero and Laurel Entertainment, after making Creepshow, were keen on the idea of turning the property into a small screen television series, though rights issues prevented them from doing so.

Every once in a while, a horror movie comes along that makes you excited about horror movies again. These movies are the rarest of them all, and finding them can be like locating the proverbial needle in a haystack. But once found, they make you realize that all the fruitless searching was well worth it. …
You can always tell Easter has arrived when the classic “Terrifying Easter Bunny” pictures start appearing across the digital realm.
