The end of January saw a big shocker for the horror worldwhen it was announced thatMatthew Lillardwasreturning as Stu Macher forScream 7. That’s exciting news, but also rather confusing, seeing as how the last time we saw Stu in 1996’sScream, directed byWes Craven, he had a TV dropped on his head, seemingly killing him. He’s not the only dead legacy star returning either, asbothScott FoleyandDavid Arquettehave been announced as well. Who knows how the seventh film will bring the dead back to life, but for Lillard, he’s admittedly scared....

It might be hard to imagine that future Oscar-winning filmmakerDanny BoyleofSlumdog Millionairefame would follow up his earlier films exploring the darkest of topics with a movie starring kids that would garner a PG rating. That’s exactly what happened in 2004 whenMillionswas released, taking a look at the impending merger of the United Kingdom into the European Union, with the Euro becoming the country’s new currency. It was a very different turn for Boyle, even if it retained his look at the British working class, teaming him with screenwriterFrank Cotrrell Boyce, fresh off writing24 Hour Party People....

Those familiar withPhilip K. Dick’sThe Man in the High Castlewill no doubt remember the careful allusions to its historical fiction that start trickling out in the novel’s first few pages, not the least of which being a shopkeep talking about his favorite brand of marijuana cigarettes.

The Nightingale Review: A Staggering and Horrific Babadook Follow-Up

Note: This is a re-post of ourNightingalereview from the 2019 Sundance Film Festival. The film is now playing in limited release. It feels like we’ve been waiting forever forJennifer Kent’s follow-up toThe Babadook, which hit theaters back in 2014.
