Now that we’ve had IT: Part One, the big question is: who’ll be playing the grown-up versions of the Losers’ Club in the sequel? Jessica Chastain is one of the biggest “no-brainers” when it comes to our wishlist. She’s awesome, she’s worked with the Muschiettis before on Mama, and she’s got red hair (admittedly, the last

Bad news, everyone: Jack Black might not be returning to reprise his role of R. L. Stein in Goosebumps 2. If, like us, you were pleasantly surprised by how good the first Goosebumps film was, this news is a real blow. Nothing has been confirmed just yet, but we’re still biting our nails. The news comes after the announcement that Goosebumps
Norwegian director Joachim Trier veers away from his dramatic arthouse roots with a supernatural horror about a young woman struggling with her repressed sexuality. His complex character work seen in his previous films such as Oslo, August 31st and Louder Than Bombs is still apparent and so too is the great care he takes in
A strict catholic upbringing leaves shy Thelma (Eli Harboe) feeling like an outsider as she embarks on her University education in Joachim Trier’s sensitively handled supernatural Nordic chiller. Trier stamps his own nuanced spin on female coming-of-age horror by introducing a refreshing and richly drawn gay character struggling with her sexuality that strikes a similar
If, like us, you’ve been eagerly awaiting news about Taika Waititi’s sequel to What We Do In The Shadows for what has felt like centuries, today is the day you finally get some. The sequel, which is titled We’re Wolves, has finally been confirmed by Waititi. The director is currently a pretty busy guy, what with the aftermath of Thor:

Andy Nyman and Jeremy Dyson’s stage hit Ghost Stories is coming to the big screen, and early word from its premiere at LFF is that it’s absolutely terrifying (check out our review here). That’s definitely backed up these three intriguing first teasers, each of which focuses on a different character and case. There are also
A new featurette has arrived for the frankly awesome-looking Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle, which breaks down how the filmmakers paid spirit to the original while expanding the universe. Frankly, it’s just quite fun hearing film stars say the word “Jumanji” so check it out. We will admit to having reservations about this when it was
“I am what is commonly known as a serial killer. I don’t love that nomenclature. I sort of consider myself a murderer, but my numbers are such that I’m classified as a serial killer… I’ve killed 39 people.” So says Aaron (Mark Duplass) within minutes of meeting Sara (Desiree Akhavian), hired to film a documentary
Ten years after the death of the notorious trap-setting Jigsaw killer (Tobin Bell), the games have begun again. Mutilated corpses are turning up with jigsaw-shaped pieces cut out of their skin and tape recordings of John Kramer’s voice embedded in their flesh. Could Jigsaw be back from the grave? It’s only been seven years since
Jeff Goldblum talks Thor: Ragnarok and is predictably charming in our latest video interview
By Poppy-Jay Palmer 27-10-17 531
To celebrate the release of Thor: Ragnarok, which is in cinemas now, we had a chat with Jeff Goldblum (the Grandmaster) and, obviously, he was as charming as ever. Watch the full interview
Justice League stars Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, JK Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, Ciaran Hinds as Steppenwolf, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Billy Crudup as
What makes an iconic horror villain? It’s not just about having a killer costume, or a distinctive murder weapon. To create a seriously scary, enduring baddie, you need a motive, a personality – and an actor who’s willing to fully inhabit that character, even if it means going to some dark places. Saw’s Jigsaw definitely
Led Zeppelin’s ‘Immigrant Song’ provides a rousing anthem for Taika Waititi’s irreverent, fun and wildly entertaining superhero film. Waititi is best known for his offbeat independent comedies such as What We Do In The Shadows and Hunt For The Wilderpeople and he ably transfers his brand of idiosyncratic humour with relish to the seventeenth entry
Justice League stars Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, JK Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, Ciaran Hinds as Steppenwolf, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Billy Crudup as
Though the prospect of Guillermo del Toro not returning to direct the upcoming Hellboy reboot, Hellboy: Rise Of The Blood Queen, was somewhat distressing at first, the film is actually shaping up to sound pretty damn exciting. With David Harbour (Stranger Things) and Milla Jovovich (The Fifth Element) lined up to play Hellboy and the Blood Queen respectively,
Tree (Jessica Rothe) didn’t have a great birthday. First she woke up hungover in a stranger’s dorm room, then she was late to school, and then her sorority sister ruined her outfit by spilling a drink all over her. Just to put the cherry on the crappy cake, she got stabbed to death on her
Last weekend saw Nottingham’s Broadway Cinema play host to Mayhem Film Festival, and we headed into screen one for four days full of horror, sci-fi and cult movies from around the world. It was our first time at Mayhem, and it definitely won’t be the last. With an excellent and eclectic selection of features and
X-Men spin-off film The New Mutants may only have put out one trailer so far but it seems to have already made a lasting impression. That could largely be down to the fact that it’s a flat-out horror film, a first as far as Marvel’s band of misfit heroes are concerned. However, it looks as though we
Thor and Loki share a tender moment in the new clip from Thor: Ragnarok
By Poppy-Jay Palmer 20-10-17 16,346
We have a feeling that Thor: Ragnarok will evoke similar emotions to those brought on by that one scene on the Bifrost… We should probably get some tissues ready. You can read the film’s
Ezra Miller’s version of The Flash looks like it’s going to be a fun and fresh new take on the character. But can we also take a moment to appreciate how on brand Miller’s getup in this video is? 10/10. Justice League stars Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg,
Production is now underway on Jovanka Vuckovic’s post-apocalyptic Riot Girls and we have to say…we cannot wait. Screen Daily reported that the director, whose previous work includes the excellent short The Captured Bird and The Box segment of horror anthology XX, has started filming her first feature film, and we are loving the plot synopsis: “Set in an
You can read the extended synopsis for Coco here: Coco follows the secret musical ambitions of Miguel, who resides in a lively, loud Mexican village but comes from a family of shoemakers that may be the town’s only music-hating household. For generations, the Riveras have banned music because they believe they’ve been cursed by it; as their family
The day has finally come where we can stop saying ‘the untitled Han Solo movie’ every time we talk about it. Here’s director Ron Howard to reveal what we should now call it instead… Hey #Twitterville we just wrapped production so here’s a special message #StarWars pic.twitter.com/8QJqN5BGxr — Ron Howard (@RealRonHoward) October 17, 2017 Solo:
Downsizing has just about the best concept you’ll find in a film all year. In a bid to cut down on the environmental impact of humans, scientists find a way to shrink humans. And because everything is so tiny, normal mid-level workers can sell up, downsize, and live like millionaires. That’s the idea Paul (Matt
After being in development for years, the film based on Josh Malerman’s incredible novel Bird Box is finally moving full steam ahead, and it’s got a hell of a cast. Variety reports that the previously announced Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich will be joined by Danielle Macdonald (the star of the brilliant Patti Cake$), Trevante Rhodes
Not to be confused with Carlos Algara and Alejandro Martinez-Beltran’s Mexican film of the same name, Verónica is, like its director Paco Plaza’s previous [REC] and [REC] 2, set mostly in a Spanish metropolitan apartment building where something diabolical finds a way in. There, 15-year-old Verónica (Sandra Escacena, in an impressive big-screen debut) is left
In 1993 12-year-old Giuseppe Di Matteo was kidnapped by the mafia, held captive for 779 days and murdered. Co-directors and writers Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza pay tribute to the young boy with a gorgeous supernatural fantasy film that recalls the work of Guillermo del Toro in its poetic visuals and the dread and surreal
