“Two couples rent a vacation home for what should be a celebratory weekend get-away.”
“Two couples on an oceanside getaway grow suspicious that the host of their seemingly perfect rental house may be spying on them. Before long, what should have been a celebratory weekend trip turns into something far more sinister, as well-kept secrets are exposed and the four old friends come to see each other in a whole new light. Alison Brie, Dan Stevens, Jeremy Allen White, and Sheila Vand star in this unnerving and sophisticated debut thriller from Dave Franco (NEIGHBORS, IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK, THE DISASTER ARTIST).”

“The journey that led to Charles Dickens’ creation of “A Christmas Carol,” a timeless tale that would redefine Christmas.”
Having been kicked in the head, twice, by both of his Raid films, I was looking forward to Gareth Evans full-length Horror film Apostle. Even more so having seen how he handled the genre in V/H/S/2 and gave the world Safe Haven, easily one of the best 20 minutes of horror put to screen. Surprisingly, Apostle turned out to be a much slower burn than I was expecting, but it proves that Evans has more to him than just hard-boiled action.

Terminator Meets Halloween in ‘The Guest’!
Returning from combat operations in Afghanistan, soldier David, visits the family of a dead comrade, and is invited to stay. However, is David everything he claims to be? So what’s next for the makers of the film ‘You’re Next’? Some fans might expect another horror film from Adam Wingard and screenwriter Simon Barrett. I believe we get more than just another horror film. Imagine if John Carpenter’s ‘Halloween’, ‘The Terminator’, ‘You’re Next’, and ‘Drive’ all found a way to mix up into one bad-ass, bold, and a blast of a movie. We would get 2014’s The Guest!
Disney’s insistence to remake all their classics has been interesting to say the least, their initial design to make darken everything did not go down well but then they changed things up with Cinderella and The Jungle Book and kept them closer to the charm of the original movies which went down a lot better. With their remake of Beauty & The Beast, Disney have moved into dangerous territory, with the animated version one of their studio highlights and beloved by millions they risked upsetting a lot of people if they didn’t get it right. Well I can safely say that while it has nothing on the original, Disney have managed a solid update to their classic story that can stand as its own counterpart to the original without taking away from it.
