An Oscar-winning director crafting a horror/superhero project is in demand
Without a doubt, Jordan Peele is one of the most gifted filmmakers in the realm of modern cinema. Specifically, Peele has made himself a household name in the horror genre, mastering the elements of fear and changing the entire spooky landscape. That being said, horror fans remain interested in the idea of Peele taking the superhero concept and adding his own horror-esque twist on the magic. And with the possibility of delving into the Brightburn universe being right there, then why not?
Speaking of superheroes, they could be the reason for horror’s resurgence
It’s certainly not much of a secret that the superhero landscape has been suffering lately, with MCU projects continuing to dip in popularity and income — leading to Disney to even push back several projects. That being said, Blumhouse boss Jason Blum has insisted that the “superhero fatigue” being experienced is a driving force as to why horror has kicked up in popularity over the last few years. This could be true, it could be not, but one thing is for certain — we do love our horror.
The Nun 2 trailer is absolute proof that nightmares are real
It’s common knowledge that the massive Conjuring universe is crawling with bone-chilling projects and unforgettable villains. Of course, one of the most evil in the franchise would be Valak (also known as the demonic antagonist in The Nun). Flash forward to now, and the official trailer for The Nun 2 is terrifying folks and making an impression to be one of the scariest movies in the entire franchise. We cannot wait to see!
Slither back here next Friday, Conjuring stans, for a brand-new horror roundup.
