Universal Pictures has released a trailer for The Boy Next Door, a micro-budgeted erotic thriller from director Rob Cohen (Alex Cross, The Fast and the Furious) and Blumhouse Productions. Jennifer Lopez (“American Idol”) toplines the film as a newly separated MILF who starts banging her teen son’s friend.

All is koo-koo-ka-choo until she decides to break things off with her deranged young suitor (Ryan Guzman). The kid goes ape, and starts to stalk and torment J. LO at every turn. It looks exhausting, but stalking is a young man’s game. Co-stars include John Corbett as the ex-husband and Kristin Chenoweth as the BFF.

The Beyond Fest Film Festival is back for its second year, running from September 25 through October 4 at the world-famous Egyptian Theatre on Hollywood Blvd. The event is a mind-blowing presentation of world premieres, free screenings, celebrity Q&A’s, and more.

Beyond Fest co-founder Christian Parkes said:

The response was so great last year that we knew we had to bring Beyond Fest back, so much so that we immediately started planning this installment.

We challenged ourselves to build on the foundation we laid and to create something that is a celebration for the audience as much as the films on the screen.

Our partnership with El Rey Network is indicative of this as it allows us to share a brave, new generation of filmmakers with the film community of Los Angeles.

Beyond Fest kicks off with the L.A. premiere of Alexandre Aja’s Horns, an adaptation of Joe Hill’s novel. The festival will also see the L.A. premieres of V/H/S Viral and The ABC’s of Death 2 and a free screening of producers Jason Blum and Ryan Murphy’s remake of The Town That Dreaded Sundown.

Additional highlights include not-to-be-missed screenings of the newly restored Halloween, featuring a special Q&A session with legendary director John Carpenter and iconic star Jamie Lee Curtis, and Monster Squad with director Fred Dekker.

A trailer has gone online for Hawthorn Productions and TempleHeart Films’ horror-comedy Devil’s Tower, starring Clerks funnyman Jason Mewes and British stunner Roxanne Pallett (pictured above). The film finds Mewes and Pallett trapped in a highrise apartment fending of ghosts and the undead.

Pallett made her movie debut in 2010’s Lake Placid 3 , a second sequel in the killer crocodile franchise launched in 1999. Pallet will next be seen in Wrong Turn 6 with starlets Sadie Kats (House of Bad) and Aqueela Zoll (Killjoy Goes to Hell).

Margot Robbie, the beautiful and very nude star of Martin Scorsese’s awesome Wolf of Wall Street, is set to star in Rupert Sanders’ (Snow White) adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s manga Ghost in a Shell for DreamWorks.

Robbie is slated to play the character based on Major Motoko Kusanagi, a cyborg super agent fighting cyber terrorist who hack half-human, half-android beings so to into doing crime.

Prior to her breakthrough role as Leonardo DiCaprio’s wife in Wolf of Wall Street, Robbie starred in Richard Curtis’ time-traveling rom-com About Time, on NBC’s short-lived drama “Pan Am” and in the Australian horror film I.C.U.

Posted above is our first look at Ashley Greene (Twilight Saga) as a ZILF (Zombie I’d Like to Fuck…duh) in fright legend Joe Dante’s new horror comedy Burying the Ex. Greene plays Evelyn, a manipulative and possessive woman who returns from the dead to claim her boyfriend (Anton Yelchin) from the living.

Burying the Ex co-stars the gorgeous Alexandra Daddario (“True Detective”) as Olivia, the beautiful woman Evelyn’s boyfriend hooks up with after her tragic demise in a freak auto accident. The film is scripted by Alan Trezza and is based on his short of the same name.

Greene is coming off Dark Castle’s not-so-super-natural flop The Apparition. She will next be seen playing a hot satanist in the Weinstein Company’s Kristy. Greene is best known for her role as Edward’s adopted little sister, Alice Cullen, in Summit Entertainment’s Twilight Saga.

Posted above is our first look at the Phantom Killer in producers Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum’s upcoming remake of the 1976 cult film The Town That Dreaded Sundown, based on the true story of the 1946 Moonlight Murders, a series of homicides committed in the Texas/Arizona border town of Texarkana.

The Town That Dreaded Sundown follows a copycat killer mimicking the Phantom Killer murders of the original film during its annual screening at Texarkana. Addison Timlin, best known for toplessly playing actress Sasha Bingham on Showtime’s “Californication,” toplines the film.

Timlin plays a busty high school girl with a mysterious and troubled past that could serve as the key to catching the Phantom Killer. The remake is directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (“American Horror Story”) and co-stars Gary Cole (“Veep”).

Maika Monroe (Labor Day) stars in Radius-TWC’s upcoming thriller It Follows. That’s her in the poster above, scared while strapped to a chair in her unmentionables at the edge of what looks like a pool, a chick with a broken wrist climbing out. What’s it mean? Don’t know. We were sold at the sight of the pink bra.

Okay… we know some of you actually need a little bit of plot to get excited about a movie so here goes… It Follows tells the tale of a 19-year-old girl who has an innocent sexual encounter, and is soon after “plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her.”

If a sense that someone or something is following you is all you feel after getting down and dirty with a stranger, chances are you came out on top. Thank your lucky genitals and move on!

A new trailer has gone online for Vertigo Releasing’s Monsters: Dark Continent, a sequel to Godzilla director Gareth Edwards’ 2010 feature film debut Monsters. The film is directed by Tom Green (not the one-balled comedic actor) and written by Jay Basu (The Dinosaur Project). Edwards serves as executive producer.

Monsters: Dark Continent is set seven years after the events of the original film and finds American soldiers deployed to infected zones worldwide to protect the country’s interests against monsters. A soldier named Noah is sent to the Middle East to kill a rogue commando hiding in an infected zone.

Stunner Genesis Rodriguez is once again joining writer and director Kevin Smith on a horror project. The duo most recently wrapped Tusk, a twisted tale about a young blogger abducted by an old sailor looking to turn him into a walrus.

The new film is titled Yoga Hosers and marks the second entry in Smith’s “True North Trilogy,” a collection of Canada-set thrillers kicking off with this year’s Tusk. Yoga Hosers finds two 15-year-olds teaming up with an old man-hunter to fend off demonic forces threatening to destroy their town and senior dance.

No word on what role Rodriguez is playing.

Rodriguez, daughter of international pop idol José Luis Rodríguez (aka El Puma), can be seen in the Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner The Last Stand and in the highly underrated thriller Man on a Ledge, in which she plays the hottest heist babe ever.
