The Exorcist sequel could very well be setting up some vomit-inducing madness
After it was revealed at CinemaCon yesterday that David Gordon Green’s Exorcist legacy sequel finally obtained an official name, horror fanatics have been scrambling to uncover more details about the project. Interestingly enough, brief footage that was shown of the movie to audiences yesterday apparently terrified folks. That being said, its eye-popping budget means the film could create some vomit-inducing moments that the 1973 movie initially created. This is gonna be a good one, for sure.
Speaking of legacy sequels, it’s hard to discount that Psycho II is the GOAT
Over the years, there has been an overabundance of legacy sequels in franchises that have long burned out its flame. And since slasher products like Halloween and Friday the 13th have done this to death, a large portion of fanatics over on Reddit have celebrated Psycho II’s brilliance and perfection — despite Alfred Hitchcock’s OG being considered a staple in the horror genre. Nevertheless, it’s hard to deny that both movies are a vital part of the spooktacular catalog.
Stephen King secures another horror hit with The Boogeyman
Much like every other panel at CinemaCon yesterday, the horror genre was rewarded with a special prize by catching an exclusive glimpse at The Boogeyman — the latest film adaptation based on novelist Stephen King’s incredible work. And if early reviews are of any indication, then it’s now clear that King has pioneered another fantastic hit — with a variety of no-nonsense critics insisting that the movie “freaking rules” and a “beautifully shot” piece of cinema. We’re now intrigued more than ever!
