‘Trick ‘r Treat’ Review MADNESS, Should WB Be Red in the Face?
After a sold out screening at the Screamfest Horror Film Festival, Aint it Cool News hosted a special free screening of Michael Dougherty’s long-delayed horror anthology, Trick ‘r Treat, which has received nothing but rave reviews since the screening (read our review). This evening, AICN posted literally dozens of reviews from fans who attended the screening last month, you can read ’em all here. Warner Bros. Pictures owns the rights to the film and has yet to announce the film’s release. Will it hit theaters or go straight to video? Only time will tell, but I think it’s safe to say that WB should be red in the face at this very moment. Fingers crossed this lights a fire under someone’s ass. If you’re one of the lucky few to see the movie, be the first to write your own review and tell other B-D readers what you thought.
Maika Monroe (Longlegs) and director David Robert Mitchell are reuniting for It Follows sequel They Follow, and Deadline brings us the latest casting news this week.
Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children, A Nightmare on Elm Street), Justine Lupe (Succession), Anna Mirodin (Ivan), Jayne Taini (Unbelievable), Michael Gandolfini (Daredevil: Born Again), Tom Pecinka (Stereophonic), Melora Walters (Magnolia), Ben Krieger (Song Sung Blue), Natalie Shinnick (The Brutalist) and Jan Hoag (The Fabelmans) have joined the cast this week.
Naomi Ackie (Blink Twice) has also been confirmed to join They Follow.
Deadline notes in their report this afternoon, “Plot details for the long-anticipated sequel are under wraps, other than it taking place a decade after the events of the original film.”
They Follow is expected to enter production this Summer. Stay tuned for updates.
In the first movie, Maika Monroe’s Jay Height is a young woman followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter. In the sequel, the threat is now EVERYWHERE.
“It’s very dark,” Monroe recently teased. “We’re pushing the boundaries on this one for sure.”
“It’s very different from the original,” Monroe told Discussing Film. “The original is a little more heightened and dramatic, and this is really quite grounded and follows the story of these two women that are mentally dealing with a lot. I thought it was really an interesting take on it.”
NEON and Good Fear Content are producing They Follow.
They Follow will feature a new score from Disasterpeace.
