Netflix has released a trailer for its new horror series “Stranger Things.” Premiering July 15, the show stars Winona Ryder as a working class mom who discovers government experiments and supernatural forces play a role in the mysterious disappearance of her two-year-old son.
“Stranger Things” is created by “Wayward Pines” writers Matt and Ross Duffer and co-stars Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket), David Harbour (Suicide Squad), Cara Buono (“Person of Interest”), and Natalia Dyer (After Darkness).
If you were left seeing red after the cancellation of El Rey’s underrated “Matador” series, the network makes amends with news of blonde stunner Nicky Whelan joining the the season three cast of “From Dusk Till Dawn” and reuniting with producer Robert Rodriguez.
Whelan made her horror debut in Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 in 2009 and has since gone on to star in Japanese director Takashi Shimizu’s (The Grudge) in-flight frightener 7500, the Nicolas Cage rapture drama Left Behind, and the horror spoof Paranormal Movie.
Other awesomely notable creds under the Aussie stunner’s belt include toplining the 9th and final season of NBC’s “Scrubs,” going topless in the Farrelly Brotherscomedy Hall Pass, and playing CIA agent Annie Mason on Rodriguez’s gone-to-soon action series “Matador.”
Uncork’d Entertainment has released a trailer for All Girls Weekend, a backwoods survival frightener about a group of childhood girlfriends rekindling their friendship during a weekend getaway in the mountains. Things go bad when they get lost and turn on each other while stalked by a malevolent force.
The trailer appears to give away many of the movie’s deaths, but there’s zero hint as to who gets naked to skinny dip in a brook or who has lesbian sex near the camp fire so … well played, All Girls Weekend trailer editor, well played.
All Girls Weekend is written and directed by Lou Simon (HazMat) and stars Jamie Bernadette (I Spit On Your Grave: Deja Vu), Katie Carpenter (“Maid to Order”), Gema Calero (Agoraphobia), Sharron Calvin, and Karishma Lakhani. The film arrives on VOD July 12 and on DVD Sept. 6.
Things are getting Satanic in selected theaters, VOD, and iTunes on July 1. The Magnet thriller stars “Modern Family” stunner Sarah Hyland as part of a group of college kids who rescue a young woman from a demonic cult’s human sacrifice ritual only to discover she’s pure evil.
A trailer for Satanic has gone on line and it looks like total tween CW shit. What gives us hope, however, is that the script was written by Anthony Jaswinski, who penned Vanishing on 7th Street and the upcoming shark frightener The Shallows.
Twentieth Century Fox and Well Go USA have released a trailer for Korean filmmaker Na Hong-jin’s The Wailing. The supernatural drama follows the deadly mass hysteria that overtakes a small village when a mysterious foreigner settles among them.
The Wailing has garnered a crap-load of critical acclaim and the trailer looks awesome, but, like The Witch, there’s a chance the trailer cuts creepier than the actual movie. Regardless, it’s worth checking out as it begins its run at selected theaters.
