Dacre Montgomery Cements His Horror Legacy in ‘Faces of Death’
Spoilers afoot! Dacre Montgomery is at his most frightening when he effortlessly switches between the socially awkward Francis and the bloodcurdling psychopath Arthur Spevak. In Daniel Goldhaber’s Faces of Death reimagining (don’t call it a remake!), Montgomery slips into the mental derangement of a serial killer and stalks, torments, and murders innocent people in the…

‘Obsession’ Exposes What Men Really Think About Women
Spoilers afoot! There’s a single line of dialogue in Curry Barker’s Obsession that sums up the entire problem with men: “What would be so bad about being with me?” Bear (Michael Johnston) says this after the real Nikki (Inde Navarrette) breaks through the One Wish Willow spell and begs him to “just kill me.” Everything…

Halloween Returns – Pitch Deck
We all know the Halloween franchise won’t stay dormant for long. In the aftermath of David Gordon Green’s trilogy, there have been plans to launch a TV series by Miramax (let’s hope for an anthology!). And I’m betting heated conversations are happening right now for what to do next with a theatrical release. It’s just…
