Outside the big movies that everyone talks about and promotes, I try to go into as many horror movies as possible with knowing very little about them. So a quick look on IMDb before I viewed Boo! told me that it wasn’t in fact a comedy that I believed it was based on the title and poster I had seen.
It is about as far away from comedy as a horror could be to be honest, with a tone that felt a lot more like recent box office and critic hit, Hereditary. This story also centres on a dysfunctional family that includes mother, father, daughter and son and while I write this I see that it has a few more similarities with Hereditary! In Boo! this...

There are few things more fascinating than abandoned cities and writer-director Luke Jaden also believes this as he uses abandoned buildings in Detroit to create the setting of his short film King Ripple. It's a story about a young man with the power of a god who just wants to be left alone in his empty city. When you have the power of a god and want to be left alone, that often results in just killing everyone who is near you. It follows a group of kids who want to see if the story of King Ripple is true.
King Ripple is played by Keith Stanfield who was in Get Out as the dinner party guest who freaks out when he's photographed. The short is fascinating, with its narration and the stoic aura of the titular King Ripple. Check it out.

Saw star Tobin Bell is set to star alongside Noah Jupe (Suburbicon) in a feature film adaptation of Stephen King's short story My Pretty Pony.
If you're not familiar with the story, it was published in 1989 and it follows an elderly man, "his death rapidly approaching, takes his young grandson up onto a hill behind his house and gives the boy his pocket watch. Then, standing among falling apple blossoms, the man also 'gives instruction' on the nature of time: how when you grow up, it begins to move faster and faster, slipping away from you in great chunks if you don't hold tightly onto it. Time is a pretty pony, with a wicked heart."
This is one of the few stories that I've never read of King's but I'm totally intrigued! Luke Jaden is directing the film from a script he adapted. Shooting will take place in Michigan this spring.

What's more, Jaden will star in the short alongside Keith Stanfield ("Short Term "12" and Snoop Dogg in "Straight Outta Compton"), who will portray the titular super-being. While the trailer isn't entirely clear on plot, it's heavy on atmosphere. From the first shot of a floating bathtub to the fact that everything takes place in some urban wasteland, a good amount of focus was put on making the short surreal. A flash of a bloodied woman certainly hints at horror elements too. Check out the trailer above.
