In addition to the carry-over from October, there are 16 wide release movies coming out this month. Not to mention the limited and special event titles…
I have watched the newest Pet Sematary trailer three times in the past two hours. I don’t know if that is a healthy number of times to watch a trailer, but I choose not to delve too deeply into the psychological implications of my compulsive re-watches. It’s legitimately great, which I’m going to count as…

Any horror geek will tell you that Stephen King is one of the greatest horror novelists of all time. He is known for creating a world in which monsters are real and live within us. A born native to Maine, many of King’s storylines are centered around fictional towns that lie within the borders of…
Every week, the folks at iTunes find a movie they like and make it available to rent for the low, low price of $0.99. I’m here to tell you whether that film is worth your hard-earned dollar. This week, a sullen teen with psychic powers helps save the universe in The Dark Tower. You Can’t Stop…
Stephen King’s It has been adapted a second time, this time in film. The movie was released September 8th, and ever since, viewers have been bringing up a certain scene that was in the book and wondering how it would play out in the film. In the novel, after the kids have defeated Pennywise, they…
On the money side of things, this summer was a major dud at the box office. But there were still some titles that had fans willing to break out their wallets. Just apparently not enough of them. This September movie lineup is pretty similar. There are a few that will do well. Some look promising…
If you have read our recent movie previews, you know I am a big fan of the summer blockbuster movies. Well August usually rounds out that time with some franchise titles. But this list of August movies is all over the place. So let’s bust out the metal detector, hit the beach and look for…

There’s always talk of adapting impossible movies but somehow studios go for it anyway. People raised eyebrows when books like As I Lay Dying or The Road were made into movies (the second was actually pretty good) but adapting a Stephen King book seems like a no brainer. His plots are interesting, his characters real and his language works…

Meaning, of course, that it falls into the crime/thriller genre, instead of under the horror/fantasy label under which most of his works are found. This new novel, Mr. Mercedes, pursues the story of a serial killer that targets the unemployed….
