The first trailer for Jaume Collet-Serra’s horror thriller, The Woman in the Yard, bowed today. Coming to cinemas on March 28th the latest from the director of good films like this past Christmas’ thriller Carry On and the Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt adventure flick Jungle Cruise also has some stinkers on their resume like *cough cough* Black Adam *wtf what that? cough cough*. Horror production powerhouse Blumhouse is certainly hoping it’s not the latter. Check out the trailer down below the official announcement. A lone, spectral woman shrouded entirely in black appears on a family’s front lawn without explanation and warns them “today’s the day.” Where did she come from? What does she want? When will she leave? Only The Woman in…
The trend of horror films parodying beloved nursery, and now Disney characters shows no signs of slowing down. Once the copyright to Steamboat Willie lapsed at the start of last year it was only a matter of time before someone took… a stab (sorry) at making a slasher version of that character. Enter Steven LaMorte’s Mickey Mouse-inspired slasher, Screamboat. Yesterday news arrived that the release of Screamboat would be delayed until April this year. Never fear, there will be sneak peeks at horror conventions and pre-screening events across the U.S. that will build up word of mouth, giving it a boost before it hits cinemas. It will help that the film stars Terrifier’s Art the Clown, David Howard Thornton. The first image of…

In the article series Sound and Vision we take a look at music videos from notable directors. This week: DTCV’s Histoire Seule, directed by Steven Soderbergh. Soderbergh has always been a very prolific director. Even going so far as making more media in his early retirement, around the early 2010’s, than most directors make in their lifetime. That ‘early retirement’ became somewhat of a joke, even though Soderbergh himself has stated it was meant to be more of a sabbatical, as he returned barely a few years later in full force. But let’s not treat it as a cinematic meme, but explore some of the things Soderbergh did in this sabbatical in the Sound and Vision, because it includes his sole music video directorial credit…
Last week we posted an article listing our favorite films from 2024, and one entry in it was Robert Eggers’ new take on Nosferatu. It was notable for at least two reasons. One: it only premièred at Christmas so not many people had seen it yet and STILL it made it into the list. And two: the official review here on our site was pretty negative. So what to do, when we see such different views on the same topic? We post a multi-writer article with a bunch of mini-reviews, that’s what! Divisiveness in opinion is awesome, so once again we had a quick round-up of opinions about the film, and have put them up here for all to see, in a gallery. As usual,…
Plus: ‘Goosebumps: The Vanishing,’ as the streaming season resumes.
Las Vegas might be something of an artificial city, but the people who the living and working (and dying) in it, day to day, are not. Like other big cities, there are people there with dreams, which more often than not, go unfulfilled. Or even if they are fulfilled, in some smaller way, the dream must end, sometimes sooner than one might want, leaving many adrift. The Last Showgirl is a quietly poignant story of one such person, who finds herself unmoored and having to reevaluate the choices that lead her to a seemingly comfortable but ultimately precarious existence. Gia Coppola’s feature is arguably her best to date, where she combines the glitz and glamour she loves about that desert city, with the real life…
