If you missed something this week, or just feel like going back through and seeing which bits and pieces of news hit home the...

I'm not the biggest fan of THE PURGE . The first film specifically. I have not seen the second or the third. Nothing against them, life is short and I've got tons of TWIN PEAKS to rewatch. Regardless of what I think, or don't think of THE PURGE flicks, they seem to be super popular with the masses so who am I to judge? Exactly. With that in mind today we have news that...

The dog days of summer are upon us, and since the movies in the theater traditionally get a little worse from here on out, what better time to look at what's hitting home video? August's big new title is Ridley Scott's ALIEN: COVENANT , but if you want something a little more old school, brand new Blu-rays of PET SEMATARY , and GHOST are coming. September has a few really great...

Blumhouse TV has really been stepping up their game recently with the news that we are getting a series based on THE PURGE , which is set to examine the "other 364 days of the year."  On top of that, the production company has just announced a new horror TV title. Turns out Blumhouse will be joining forces with THE WALKING DEAD 's home network, AMC, for a new...

Well, it looks like not only is THE PURGE 4 happening, but today we have word that the series will - for the very first time - sport a director other than series creator James DeMonaco. Turns out Gerard McMurray will be taking on the next annual Purge, and if you're not familiar with the name, no worries, the guy is pretty new on the scene.  His film BURNING SANDS...

It was only a few weeks ago that we hit you guys with the new there was a TV series in the works based on Blumhouse's THE PURGE film series. Today we have some cool new info on the film via Deadline and Blumhouse head honcho himself, Jason Blum. First off, THE PURGE TV Series is set to run two separate networks! Crazy, right? Yes, it is a bit unconventional but all the...

Blumhouse Productions is one of the biggest names in horror these days, and having successfully conquered cinema they are now setting their sights on doing the same with television. The company has launched their own independent TV studio with the backing of ITV Studios and intends to finance and produce both scripted and unscripted genre shows. The first genre show Blumhouse Television...

The untitled Next Purge Chapter. That is what the new PURGE movie is currently being referred to as. I say keep that name, guys! Anyway, it looks like Hollywood is moving forward with THE PURGE 4. They have even set a release date of July 4, 2018 .  Director of the first three flicks, James DeMonaco still plans to write the fourth movie, but has been said to have no...

I enjoyed THE PURGE , but THE PURGE: ANARCHY took the franchise to a whole new level, and a lot of what made the sequel such an entertaining experience was the presence of Frank Grillo in the cast as tormented ass-kicker Sergeant - a character I basically saw as being Marvel's The Punisher, dropped into the PURGE world. With Sergeant's story being wrapped up at the end...

When BLAIR WITCH disappointed with its box office results, I happened upon an article or two with the author claiming that horror is dead. My response?? Are you freaking crazy?? This of course is nothing new. Oftentimes a genre flick will fail to live up to expectation and people cry that nobody wants to see scary movies anymore. Certainly we’ve had years where you wonder if...

Are you ready to take on Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger? How about face the blade of Michael Myers on Halloween? Or would you like to delve into the demonic frights of THE EXORCIST? You can even explore the many atrocities behind American Horror Story! If this excites you, you must be a horror fan. Last week was the opening of this year’s wonderfully wicked Halloween...

Each PURGE movie makes more money than the previous, so it's a given that writer/director James DeMonaco's franchise is going to continue in some way. However, after watching THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR I was convinced that the most satisfying way forward would be to go backward and make a prequel about the early days of The Purge, that  annual 12-hour period in...
