If there’s one thing you can count on in a Ryuhei Kitamura horror film, it’s the copious amounts of bloodshed and gore. With Kitamura, gore is most definitely an artform. Based on Clive Barker’s 1984 short story of the same name, 2008 film The Midnight Meat Train follows a photographer obsessed with dark subject matter. He gets in over his head when he discovers a serial killer that butchers unsuspecting night commuters in grisly fashion.
There’s probably not many movies as aptly titled as this one. There’s a lot of human meat, blood, brain matter, and limbs being carved up on the late-night subway train in this horror movie. Bradley Cooper stars as Leon Kaufman, the photographer that stumbles upon and then becomes obsessed with the ruthless serial killer. His concerned girlfriend Maya, a character not in the original story, is played by Leslie Bibb. But the...

Horror is iterative, but it just as regularly moves through the same cycles decade after decade, ostensibly breaking new ground, when in reality, the genre is simply doing what is has always done. Today's horror landscape, for as remarkable and diverse as it is, is principally a landscape of legacy sequels. The horror of yesterday is new again, and commonly, old faces and names are dredged up to headline the latest nostalgic bloodbath. Reasonably, the present iteration could be decried as Hollywood's lack of originality, though seasoned horror veterans have seen this cycle before.
The early aughts were replete with imported horrors. Hollywood studios regularly borrowed transnational scares, repackaged them, and presented them as the next big thing. They were successful, too. Gore Verbinski's "The Ring," a remake of Hideo Nakata's "Ring," grossed nearly $250 million when released in 2002. Hollywood studios also remade the likes of "A Tale of Two Sisters,...

Days after teasing song titles in a messy bedroom — complete with violet bedsheets, a skateboard, and several instruments on the rug — Olivia Rodrigo has finally revealed the Guts track list.
Her follow-up to Sour, out Sept. 8, doesn’t have a single boring song title: There’s “All-American Bitch,” “Ballad of a Homeschooled Girl,” and the eerily familiar “Teenage Dream,” to name a few. Check out the rest below.
The announcement follows the lead single, “Vampire,” which Rodrigo dropped alongside a video directed by her frequent collaborator, Petra Collins. “I just...

During a time of tumult in the industry, when adult-oriented thrillers and dramas are increasingly dicey theatrical propositions, Oscar-winning filmmaker Kenneth Branagh has managed to keep his series of movies based on Agatha Christie‘s Detective Hercule Poirot going. Roughly 19 months after “Death on the Nile” — a critical and theatrical disappointment released in February after many delays forced by the coronavirus pandemic and controversy around star Armie Hammer — Branagh and Poirot are back in September with “A Haunting in Venice.”
On Wednesday, 20th Century Studios released a new trailer for the thriller, which stars Branagh and a cast of some major stars.
Adapted from Christie’s 1969 novel “Hallowe’en Party,” the trailer has Poirot’s latest adventure veering more into the realm of horror, with Tina Fey playing mystery novelist Ariadne Oliver (clearly meant as an avatar for Christie herself).
In the trailer, she urges Poirot to visit a psychic,...

One of the most venerated names in the J-Horror scene in the late 90s and early 2000s, Takashi Shimizu became one of the biggest genre directors in the world for creating the classic “Ju-On” series among many others, even finding himself heading to America to shoot an official remake of the film. While his projects since haven’t reached the level of unquenching fear as the original entries in the Grudge franchise, his latest effort “Howling Village” is a step in the right direction.
