    The horror landscape these days is nothing but sequels/spin-offs/remakes, or the rare, original horror movie that gets overhyped to hell and back, only to become a bit of a dull disappointment when I finally get the opportunity to see it.

    I just want a good horror movie, they're too generic and similar these days. I don't care if it's a one-off or the fifteenth installment in a series.

    EDIT: Someone was kind enough to record that theaters-only clip from 'IT.' Skarsgaard looks incredible in the role:



    There's something so 'alien' about the performance, I love it. The way his voice changes so frequently, the way he salivates, or especially the shot where he seems to snap and stares hungrily at Georgie for a few moments. So excited for this movie.

    I have mixed feelings on sequels. It really depends on each individual series. There are times when I have been ok with sequels, but there have been other times when I wish that the film makers would have just left the film as a standalone thing.

    'Jeepers Creepers 3' will arrive in theaters next month. Didn't know it was this close.

    Also, a new poster for 'IT':

    I am lost for words, they kept this film under wraps. I am only now aware of a new Hatchet. I enjoy the films, even if #3 feels bloated and a little "been there, done that". If nothing else, the Hatchet films prove that Kane Hodder could still be Jason in a film, even though it has been 16 years since Jason X.

    Even at 62, Kane Hodder still has that ferocity.

    Ashamed to say I never saw any of the sequels, but the first 'Hatchet' was a damn fun slasher.

    Also, get an early listen at two tracks from the 'IT' soundtrack:

    Oddly enough, the first one they posted has a few moments that sound like a much more chilling version of the 'Whispering Statues' track from GE.

    Even with the inclusion of Tiffany, is looks like it has still managed to continue the tonal reboot of the Curse Of Chucky. The reviewer also says what I have been thinking for a while, how come the 3 biggest horror series are struggling to get new films out, while Chucky is like the little engine that could. The series might go into hibernation for a few years, but it just comes back again, with a new style.

    'The Gallows 2' has been filmed in secret. I never saw the first one, but I do applaud a director for being able to pull this off.

    Is this becoming a trend? Adam Green filmed the new Hatchet in secret, only revealing that he had been making it, when the trailer was released. Paramount, if you want to admit to secretly filming a new Friday The 13th film, now would be a good time to say so...

    It very well may be, at least for lower-budget horror films. I'm still hoping we get a new 'Friday the 13th' one day, some day...

    New Line get the rights back next year. I would like to think that some exec at New Line, will have picked up on the disappointment from fans of the aborted 2017 film, and will waste no time in getting a new film through production. It really shouldn't be this hard to made a new Friday The 13th.

    I read into that 2017 film, though, and as excited as I was, the ideas I read from the script were beyond atrocious. I just wish they'd stop trying to be so unique and keep it simple: set it in the 80's, give us some lovable camp counselors who love drugs and sex and getting slaughtered by a hulking monster in a hockey mask.

    I know what you mean. I did like the water slide kill. Though every male viewer would have shifted in their seat at that moment. I would like to see a modern day winter setting (if possible make it a new sequel in the original timeline, somehow side-stepping Jason X), and the usual characters.

    I would also like to see Kane Hodder back for one last film. I was starting to suspect that Kane had been brought back for the 2017 film. Back on New Years Day, Kane released a video, wishing his fans a happy new year, wherein he mentioned a couple of surprises that he had in store for 2017, but couldn't speak about them at the time. One look at the Hatchet films, and the mo-cap from the game, show that even at 62, Kane could still put on the hockey mask.

    Some cool kills and I love the soundtrack ideas they had, but after a while surely they can come up with a better introduction than a bunch of kids sitting around a campfire telling spooky stories of what may or may not have happened. I've been craving a winter setting for a long while now, as well. Would certainly spice things up - a change of weather would add a whole new spin on things without requiring them to delve into more backstory and twists.

    And with the winter setting come a whole new style of kills.

    On top of different types of tension. Imagine someone fleeing him in the woods alone, only to realize they're leaving tracks in the snow for him to easily follow. Or attempting to somehow hide amongst the snow while he's chasing one of the victims.

    EDIT: This 'Leatherface' review is quite glowing. The trailer intrigued me enough to give this a go come October.

    I liked the first, hated the second, and was meh about the third. I don't have high expectations.

    Mirrors my thoughts 100%. I'll see it at some point, I figure. Trailer felt light on scares, hopefully they're getting smart and not spoiling the big ones in the trailer(s).

    EDIT: It's FINALLY confirmed!

    On top of the glowing reviews coming out today for IT, here's a trailer for King's Gerald's Game, coming to Netflix on September 29th. I've yet to read the novel, so I may have to do so before this one is released.

    And was it good or bad? The trailer was quite surprising to me, didn't expect it to look as well done and entertaining as it did.

    Extremely gory. I wanted to throw up.

    I don't know if you want to be spoiled or not but basically the main plot is there's three kids and one of them is leatherface. They kill the sheriff's daughter and they get sent to a mental hospital and their names are changed. They grow up and escape. His mom comes looking for him , but they don't know which one is which, meanwhile the police are after the kids. That's basically all in the trailer but that's the main plot. Felt kinda bland honestly.

    I don't think there needs to be another origin story. But I would be interested in a sequel to the first and third films.

    IT has earned $49.6m at the US box office on Friday, so all points to a $100m+ opening weekend for this latest Stephen King adaptation.
