The Hollywood Reporter published this exclusive over the weekend, this is truly amazing, Gremlins stands out there all would have loved to be in the screening…
According to the report, this rough assembly cut of Gremlins runs around 2 hours, 35 minutes long, and it was unveiled as part of a secret screening attended by a select group of filmmakers and fans. This particular cut is from Joe Dante’s personal collection, and Ian Grant from The Gremlins Museum cleaned up and digitized the footage from Dante’s personal VHS tape.
Even cooler.. Zach Galligan even notes that the cut features “stuff I have absolutely no memory of having shot.” He also makes it clear that the Gremlins assembly cut features both previously released deleted scenes (you’ll find them on physical media) and most importantly, brand new footage Gremlins fans have NEVER seen up to this point!
We can’t wait for Gremlins 3 but this two-hour plus original Gremlins movie might be even more exciting if it’s ever released for wide audiences as it should be. The greatest Christmas movie of all time..
Joshua Leonard and Michael C. Williams, stars of the original 1999 The Blair Witch Project, will serve as executive producers on Lionsgate’s upcoming reboot, along with the first movie’s directing team of Eduardo Sánchez, Daniel Myrick and Gregg Hale.
Eh.. color us unimpressed ? Maybe it will for fine but that movie was made in a magic time when movies still felt like magic…
Could this remake be a little too late to make a difference??
It never seems to matter if people really are ready.. they keep coming..
And… another one is on the way.
Per Variety, it’s been revealed that Curry Barker has been hired by A24 to direct a reboot of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The feature film is separate from a Texas Chainsaw Massacre series that’s also in development at the studio by director JT Mollner. No specific details about Barker’s take on the story have yet been revealed, but it’s being described as a “reimagining,” suggesting it will tell a new story based on the original film from 1974.
Another new story..
Another new chainsaw massacre …
The original film is credited as being one of the ‘scariest of all time.’ And if that is the case, why do they keep redoing it repeatedly?
There may be some spoilers here. Maybe not. That’s kind of the nature of this one.
First off, there are people far smarter than us—or at least people who say they are—who have already broken this film down and latched onto the meaning behind the title. Undertone isn’t just a name. It’s the entire point.
Our main protagonist, Evie, is the host of the Undertone podcast alongside Justin. The premise is simple enough: they’re playing ten anonymous audio files sent in by someone who refuses to explain who they are or why they sent them. Evie plays the skeptic, Justin leans into belief, and together they perform that balance for the show.
But as the movie unfolds, it becomes clear Evie isn’t really a skeptic. She’s hiding.
She’s masking fear, depression, and something deeper that she doesn’t want to confront. When she finds out she’s pregnant, the film quietly reveals another layer… this is not a joyful moment for her. It’s unwanted. And just like the recordings being forced into her life, it’s something she didn’t ask for but now has to face. From there, the movie settles into a slow, uncomfortable rhythm. We’re introduced to distorted audio, demonic undertones buried in nursery rhymes, and recordings that feel wrong in ways that are hard to explain. It’s not about what you hear. It’s about what you don’t hear. The silence. The gaps. The suggestion that something is just beneath the surface.
At the same time, Evie’s mother is dying.
And this is where the movie starts to hit differently.
While her mother fades in the next room, Evie retreats into headphones, noise cancellation, and the world of the podcast. She’s drowning out reality while simultaneously immersing herself in something just as disturbing. It’s not just avoidance… it’s a form of coping. Or maybe it’s a form of surrender. A lot of people have analyzed this film and pulled meaning from it. There are layers here, and most of them are subtle. But the last ten minutes? Subtle is gone.
The final stretch is chaotic. Loud. Disjointed. Almost overwhelming.
The movie has been quiet for so long, relying on tension and sound design instead of cheap jump scares. Then suddenly, everything breaks. It mirrors Evie’s emotional collapse as her mother’s death rattle fills the room. It’s uncomfortable, messy, and confusing… just like grief.
Everyone is going to walk away from Undertone with a different interpretation. But if you’ve ever cared for someone who was dying, this movie is going to land in a way that’s hard to shake. You hide from it. You distract yourself. You consume media that somehow reflects what you’re going through, hoping to find meaning in the pain.
That’s the undertone of this film… PAIN.
Evie isn’t a skeptic because she doesn’t believe. She’s a skeptic because she needs to be. Because believing means confronting everything she’s trying to avoid.
And in the end, loss doesn’t come cleanly. It comes with agony, confusion, fear, and despair. This movie has all of it.
Like we said… we watched Undertone so you don’t have to. But honestly, you probably should.
It may not be the “scariest movie of the year” like every trailer claims these days, but it might be one of the most effective. And depending on where you are in life—whether you’ve experienced loss or you’re in the middle of it—the undertone of this film might hit you harder than anything else you’ll see this year.
We watched Hive so you don’t have to. It’s a Hive original… and boy, is it original.
Here’s a couple of spoilers, so be careful if you actually want to check out this seemingly low-budget horror oddity.
Hive a brand new horror-thriller starring Xochitl Gomez as Sasha, a teen babysitter who loses her charge at an idyllic playground. She must navigate a sinister, deceptive world as she confronts an insectoid entity controlling the children and snatching parents, forcing her to fight to escape a soul-crushing hivemind.
Hive became available to stream on Tubi April 17, 2026. Xochitl Gomez, Aaron Dominguez, and Tanya van Graan star in this horror filled film that is Directed/Written Felipe Vargas.
At its core, there’s a hive mind made up of rich, affluent kids living in a rich, affluent neighborhood. There’s definitely a cultural message here about how the wealthy may inflict pain on the working class or minorities. Mix that in with squishy, unsettling blood-and-guts moments and a few strange, graphic scenes of people meeting their demise—yes, including playground equipment—and you’ll start to get the picture.
Listen… we’re not recommending this one, but we’re also not telling you not to watch it.
Just don’t watch it alone expecting a good time. This is more of a group movie, where half the room is saying, “That was actually kind of a good idea,” and the other half is begging, “Please turn off this nonsense.”
Seriously, the trailer was good. The bad is the trailer is showing you some of the best material in the movie!
It’s a low-budget film for a low-budget night. But you know what? The acting wasn’t horrible. The plotline wasn’t terrible either—more like a goofy version of the hive mind from Stranger Things. The commitment was there. The cast seemed genuinely inspired to lean into their roles, and that counts for something.
Still, despite that effort, we’re left with a “hive mind” concept that ends up being more boring than scary. 2.9 out of 5.
A bit weak on the dialogue… but kudos for the acting and the creative thought.
Sometimes horror gives us nightmares… and sometimes it gives us moments like this. David Howard Thornton—the man behind Art the Clown—just pulled off one of the most bizarre and oddly heartwarming proposals you’ll ever see. While fully in character as the silent, sadistic clown, he got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend, Jada Christie… and she said yes. Yeah… let that sink in for a second.
There’s something strangely perfect about it. A character known for pure chaos, brutality, and nightmare fuel somehow being part of a real-life moment built on love, commitment, and—believe it or not—joy. It’s the kind of contrast that horror fans live for. Dark meets light. Fear meets happiness.
Fans of Art the Clown know that David Howard Thornton brings a physicality and personality to the role that makes it unforgettable, even without saying a single word. So of course, if he’s going to propose, it’s not going to be ordinary. It’s going to be theatrical… unsettling… and somehow still incredibly genuine.
Jada Christie clearly understood the assignment. It’s also very understandable if you would have said no!
Faces of Death cost about $7 million dollars to make and made under $2 million dollars in his opening weekend it’s about 1600 theaters. Probably safe to consider the Flop but a modest flop, but with some very bad reviews..
But thanks to the Super Mario Brothers with some more huge numbers the American box office is rocking and rolling early that year..
It was never expected to soar high but horror fans not liking it much sure didn’t help.
It solidifies for good that when people hear about Faces of Death they’ll think about the 1970s and 80s macabre version as opposed to this new incarnation train wreck..
The Duffer Brothers, fresh from quickly walking away from Stranger Things and whatever that last season was, is moving on to more bad things..
The trailer for SOMETHING VERY BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN is now out..
Created by Haley Z. Boston (Brand New CherryFlavor, Baby Reindeer), executive produced Matt and Ross Duffer and directed and executive produced by Weronika Tofilska (Baby Reindeer), Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen takes place in the week leading up to a doomed wedding, following the bride and groom. A fuller synopsis reads:
“If CARRIE is horror’s version of a girl becoming a woman, and ROSEMARY’S BABY is the horrific version of a woman becoming a mother, SOMETHING VERY BAD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN is horror’s take on a woman becoming a wife. Rachel [Morrone] is getting married in five days. Together with her fiancé, Nicky [DiMarco], she embarks on a road trip to his family’s vacation home, secluded in a snowy forest, for the intimate wedding ceremony of their dreams. Which really would be so lovely, except…prone to superstition and paranoia, Rachel can’t shake the relentless feeling that something bad is going to happen. Her foreboding doubts, coupled with a series of eerie coincidences and dreadful surprises, force her to ask the question: What makes two people soulmates? And worse—what could be scarier than lifelong commitment to the wrong person?”
That seems to be a very long synopsis that we had to read a few times to really take in.
But at this point the ultimate viewer reaction to the trailer has been criticism of how DARK the screen was during the entire thing, joking about the camera quality and the Netflix attempt to see how dark peoples’ screens will be during the trailer..
Something, indeed, is going to be bad. Hopefully not this limited series…
A24’s indie horror movie undertonehit $4.3M on opening day and it’s still gunning for $10M in third place by the conclusion to the weekend box office release..
The film has had some high praise from several in the horror community.. the movie has a lot more to do with the scariness of sound rather than visual fright..
We didn’t see undertone yet but are excited too and hope to in a theater with a great sound system.. While it is being criticized in various circles, as always you just need to give movies like this a try.. We spoke before about how PONTYPOOL was a favorite of ours and this one may rank eventually in the same category..
As far as the box office? Onward to streaming quickly perhaps..
Hulu has opted not to proceed with itsBuffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, starring and executive produced by Sarah Michelle Gellar. She broke the news to fans on Instagram Saturday morning.
About a year ago, fans were excited about the return of BUFFY on the streaming platform.. Hulu ordered a pilot for the project, tentatively titled Buffy: New Sunnydale, with Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, a self-professed lifelong Buffy fan, directing from a script written by Nora and Lilla Zuckerman (Poker Face).
Sources described the pilot as “not perfect,” noting the Zhao’s sensibility may not have been the perfect match for the reboot.
The fast changing nature of entertainment hit Gellar on this one, too.. DEADLINE’s Nellie Andreeva reported that she was not aware of this before it was announced.. MORE.. Gellar was notified Friday night of the decision, which came as a surprise to her. She had been in Austin, TX for the SXSW premiere of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, which took place Friday afternoon.
