We’ve been waiting over 3 years for this new version of Salem’s Lot, the Stephen King 1975 classic horror novel. Back in 1979, Tobe Hooper was first up to adapt the novel in his made-for-tv miniseries. In 2004, Mike Salomon brought The Lot to us again with another miniseries featuring Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer and Rob Lowe. How does Gary Dauberman’s feature film measure up?

This week, we go back to 1999 to talk about Eyes Wide Shut, the final film by the great Stanley Kubrick. Based on the novella “Dream Story” by Arthur Schnitzler, Kubrick weaves a tale of deception, anxiety and murder as the 20th century comes to a close in New York City.

This week, we go back to 2008 to revisit the uncomfortable, British horror-thriller Lake Eden. Written and directed by James Watkins, this film, in some ways primed him for Speak No Evil, his latest filmmaking assignment. Additionally, you get Michael Fassbender and Kelly Reilly early in their careers, portraying a young couple who get terrorized by a group of young townie-hoodies. Eden Lake has been cited as a film commenting on “Broken Britain” moral panic of the early 21st century.

We dive back into the Giallo world this week with The Red Queen Kills Seven Times. This our firs foray into the filmography of Emilio Miraglia; unfortunately, this was his final film. Though Miraglia was a prolific filmmaker, this was only his second giallo, this first being The Night Evelyn Came Out of the Grave.
The Red Queen Kills Seven Times follows two sisters Evelyn and Kitty, an alleged curse and the typical red herrings and plot twists that you can expect from these films.

It’s been a Hell of a year for horror and there is a lot left on the horizon. Maxxxine is the third installment of Ti West’s trilogy.

Her life takes a turn when a big opportunity comes to her but will her dark past come back to haunt her?
