Eisener will be directing a film scripted by Barrett and produced by...

In just over a month, Netflix will be releasing the Adam Wingard film DEATH NOTE on their streaming service, but while we wait for the full feature the company has released a clip from the film that can be seen below. Long in development (at one point Shane Black was attached to direct), this live action DEATH NOTE is an adaptation of a manga series that has already inspired...

DEATH NOTE is an "international phenomenon", but it's one that I have absolutely no familiarity with. It all began with a manga series and the concept has since served as the basis of novels, animes, video games, and multiple live action adaptations. I have not seen or read a single one of these things. And honestly, the upcoming live action American adaptation would not...

I know next to zero about the manga DEATH NOTE , although the fact that Shane Black was at one time attached to the live action American adaptation of it was a very positive sign for its quality.

Created by Robert Huszar and Ken Landgraf, NEW YORK CITY OUTLAWS was...

Back in 2013, as part of the build-up to the release of THE CONJURING , VICE hosted The 3:07am Project, a short (6 minutes total) horror anthology that featured segments by Nacho Vigalondo, Max Landis, Ti West, and HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN director Jason Eisener. Eisener's segment, which we featured as a Cool Horror Video at the time, was entitled "One Last Dive" and...

It was way back in 2011 when we first got word that THIS IS THE END star Jay Baruchel was making the jump from comedic actor to horror scribe with the adaptation of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray's comic book RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE. Baruchel has been quite busy since that initial report, appearing in several films and continuing his writing career, but it seems he's close to...

Easily one of our most anticipated films of the year, Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett's THE GUEST , hits limited theaters today and we couldn't be more stoked about it.
