    That is quite a clever idea, horror doesn't usually appeal to me.

    I must say I'm intrigued with writer-director Jordan Peele‘s hotly anticipated followup to Get Out. Not sure what's exactly going on here in this trailer? Is it another take on Invasion of the Body Snatchers, or is it more inter-dimensional with shades of Christopher Smith's underrated Triangle (2009)? Or, could it be in someway influenced by Nacho Vigalondo's Truecrimes (2007)? Until I learn more, I'll hold off from an analysis, but there's definitely influences here.

    Peele has already spoken about expanding his "Get Out" universe via different films. I'll be curious to spot possible "Get Out" links, much like with M. Night's Unbreakable / Split / Glass myth building.

    So long as Peele doesn't try and expand his Keanu (2016) universe, @DarthDimi. Maybe the cute kitten pops up in Us? I'm not sure about this overlapping, expansion thing. Of course, Lovecraft did it with his books, which I'm sure is the inspiration behind some of these directors adopting that in their movies, but if I were to use the word "convoluted" I'd apply it to this concept. Let's hope Us can stand on its own two feet.

    The reviews for M Night Shyamalan's Glass will be available at 1:30pm Pacific Time (in just over 5 hours and 45 minutes).

    My expectations are pretty low.

    Paramount has pulled the plug on David Fincher's World War Z 2, due to budget reasons. The studio said they prefer to allocate more money to Mission: Impossible 7 & Mission: Impossible 8 instead.

    ----

    Production on A Quiet Place 2 is expected to start in July 2019 (planned release date: May 15, 2020).

    Church!!! I hope this is good. I was going to see it in theaters.

    Yes... because Stephen King adaptations are usually good.

    /sarcasm

    Seriously though, I have low interest in this. May see it at some point, but it's no priority at all.

    Looks pretty ordinary to me. And what are those 'Wicker Man' style masks all about. Nothing like that in the book.

    I thought the original adaptation wasn't a bad effort. My favourite King novel by some degree.

    Oh boy, alright, let's get it over with.


    Um... honestly, the trailer didn't push me one way or the other. I just don't want this to cause the original series to be dropped. It would be a shame if that happens, given the two recent films.

    It surely will be a disappointment. I still can’t believe Brad Dourif got the shaft.

    I'm not tempted right away. I will watch the flick; it's in my nature to do so. But I keep asking: why???? We still have a very good series going. After Curse and Cult, the Chuck seems to be going stronger than ever! So why reboot now? That's like Marvel/Disney pulling the plug on Avengers tomorrow and starting all over again.

    If memory serves me correct aren’t they ditching the whole cult voodoo thing and now the doll is just AI run amuck?

    Because if that the case this is really going to turn into a run of the mill slasher

    @Risico007 - The AI being corrupted is the route they are going down, at least that is how it looks to me. I will watch it at some point, but for the time being, I want to know what is happening with the original series.

    This article states that the new Chucky is “a defective Buddy doll whose programming code is hacked so that he has no limitations to learning and also violence.” And one character is described as a “Chinese factory worker who commits suicide shortly after re-programming a Buddy doll to have no limitations.”

    It also seems like they've split the best friend and babysitter into two separate characters.

    Look I never saw a single one of the movies (I am kind of a scaredy-cat to be honest) but even I have to admit this feels like a slap in the face of fans

    Now officially the longest gap between films, 10 years. Personally, I enjoyed the film then, and still do.

    Loved the 2009 installment, I've checked it out probably five or so times since; spiced things up quite nicely and shook up the franchise without being too different or lesser of a film.

    After 'The Haunting of Hill House'', we now have the first details of the 2nd season of Netflix's The Haunting anthology:

    The Haunting of Bly Manor.

    Bly mansion is the setting for the Henry James psychological gothic horror novella The Turn of the Screw, which takes place almost entirely at the old country mansion. It is there where two young orphans are looked after by a young governess and by whom most of the story is narrated by.

    Due to be released in 2020.
