This post contains spoilers for "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" episode 4, "Parallels and Interiors."
The Monsterverse is coming up on a decade now, dating back to director Gareth Edwards' "Godzilla" in 2014. But in all of those years, the human characters in the franchise have often left much to be desired. Fortunately, the Monsterverse has finally figured out this piece of the puzzle. The key? Kurt Russell. "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" is currently in the midst of its first season on Apple TV+ and Russell's character Lee Shaw is easily the best human character we've had against the backdrop of this world of monsters.
In nine years of the Monsterverse, we've had some extremely memorable monster action, including one heck of a showdown between Godzilla and King Kong in 2021's aptly named "Godzilla vs. Kong." The humans? That's a different story. Oftentimes, these characters feel like vehicles that are just driving us toward the next monster showdown.

Rory Culkin, starring in one of the most interesting and weird true stories of all time should be a slam dunk, and it almost is, except when I think about it, it is miles away. Mayhem was an extraordinary component of the Norwegian Black Metal scene of the 80s and early 90s. Suicide, murder, church burnings and huffing from a bag of dead stuff was the order of the day. Whenever I meet goths in real life, they are unfailingly the nicest people you would ever be lucky enough to meet. Here they are not quite so cuddly.

This year is already off to an incredible start for the horror genre, with M3GAN scaring up big time profits in theaters and “The Last of Us” getting set to elevate horror television on HBO.
Much like last week, this second week of 2023 is similarly home to several exciting new horror releases, including the return of Kevin Williamson plus the arrival of a viral horror indie.
Not to mention, this Friday is the first Friday the 13th of 2023!
Here’s all the new horror releasing January 10 – January 13, 2023…
First up, from Ryûhei Kitamura, the director of Midnight Meat Train, comes Lionsgate’s The Price We Pay, which just debuted on VOD this Tuesday and comes to select theaters Friday.
Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild) and Stephen Dorff (Blade) star in The Price We Pay, which looks like a genre fusion of an action-thriller and a slasher movie all in one crazy package.

The first day at a new job can be hell, but for Human Resources, it’s downright bloody, and Bloody Disgusting is debuting the official trailer for the DeskPop Entertainment horror movie today.
Human Resources releases On Demand on January 10, 2023.
In the film, “After starting a job at a creepy hardware store, Sam Coleman uncovers a shocking mystery involving a missing employee. With the help of Sarah, a cynical coworker, Sam plunges into the dark corners of the store and is forced to confront the terrifying forces that lurk just behind the walls.”
Check out the brand new, exclusive trailer below that introduces new hire Sam, anxious about his first day at a hardware store. But something is seriously amiss about this creepy place. We can expect his journey will capture the “often dreadful experience of working an isolated retail job and elevates it to a sinister and nightmarish level.

The tedious zombie comedy “The Loneliest Boy in the World” joins a number of recent faux-retro satires that — like “Psycho Goreman” (2020), “Turbo Kid” (2015), and “Kung Fury” (2015) before it — re-present pop culture artifacts from the 1980s as knowingly kitschy comfort food.
In “The Loneliest Boy in the World,” an emotionally disturbed orphan digs up and befriends a quartet of mysteriously re-animated corpses, who then inexplicably act like his surrogate family members. The kid, Oliver, has no friends and no social intelligence, because he’s addicted to TV. Oliver also lives alone in a pink house whose interior design seems to have been partly inspired by Barbie’s Dreamhouse playset.
Unfortunately, director Martin Owen (“The Intergalactic Adventures of Max Cloud”) and screenwriter Piers Ashworth (co-writer of “Blithe Spirit”) don’t challenge or really highlight anything funny about Oliver’s delusional, media-poisoned nostalgia. The gags in “The Loneliest Boy in the World” also...

Well Go USA Entertainment will be giving the zombie horror comedy The Loneliest Boy in the World a limited theatrical release on October 14th, and in anticipation of that date a trailer for the film has arrived online. You can check it out in the embed above.
Directed by Martin Owen (Let’s Be Evil) from a screenplay by Piers Ashworth (St Trinian’s 2: The Legend of Fritton’s Gold), The Loneliest Boy in the World is described as being “a satire and a celebration of family values, of the imagery of horror films, of suburban life, of the American Dream and of the ultimate taboo; death.” The film is
billed as a modern fairytale—except with zombies. When the sheltered and unsocialized Oliver (Harwood) is tasked with making new friends after the sudden and devastating death of his mother, he decides that digging a few up (literally) might be his best bet.

I’d been eagerly awaiting Lords of Chaos after first hearing about the adaptation a good while ago. I was a big fan of the book when it was released and spent many years in my late teens and early twenties listening to the deepest and darkest of black metal. I was a fan, and to this day I still enjoy some of the black metal bands I listened to back in the day but lean towards those without the messages of racism and other isms and ignorant views for obvious reasons. I have never limited myself with the music I listen to. I listen to folk, rock, death and thrash, blues and even some country music.

Though Godzilla: King of the Monsters is still over four months away from release, a few images from the film’s Jakks Pacific toy line have already made their way online, one of which seems to tease the smackdown to come between the Big G and Rodan.
As you can see below, the two colossal creatures come as a pair in the “Kings Collide Battle Pack,” the front of which encourages us to “Bring the Battle to Life!” From this, we can probably make the not-so-radical prediction that Michael Dougherty’s film will see a face-off between Godzilla and his winged co-star, with the pictured volcano potentially serving as the appropriately epic backdrop.

This past Tuesday night, Jonas Åkerlund’s Lords of Chaos closed out the Midnighter premieres at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival. Starring Rory Culkin, Emory Cohen, Jack Kilmer, Sky Ferreira, Valter Skarsgård, and Sam Coleman, Akerlund’s Lords recounts (in its own way) the start of the Norwegian Black Metal movement in the late 1980s, which was pioneered by Euronymous (Culkin), the founder of the band Mayhem, and how jealousy and egos corrupted the scene once an eager fan-turned-bandmate Varg (Cohen) takes Euronymous’ ideologies as a battle cry, culminating in an unforgettable showdown between the two musicians.
Ahead of its premiere, Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with a handful of folks behind Lords of Chaos, including co-writer/director Åkerlund, co-stars Culkin, Kilmer, and Ferreira, and producer Danny Gabai, who discussed the challenges of taking the infamous story of Mayhem and bringing it to the big screen, blending fact and fiction,...

Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury‘s Leatherface is yet another unique interpretation of Texas Chainsaw tonality. This is the beginnings of evil; a moody dive behind the monster’s mask. After The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 introduced a colorful misery, after roadkill grindhouse turned darkly comical, after 2003’s “gritty, dark reboot.” The filmmakers behind Inside, Livide and Among The Living use Seth M. Sherwood’s screenplay to explore what could drive one child to his slaughterhouse obsession – with mixed results. As a Southern-strong franchise entry, it’s certainly not the worst (cough – Texas Chainsaw 3D – cough). But as a Bustillo and Maury product? Well, let’s just say we’ve seen them be more aggressive, better inspired and vastly richer when developing human characteristics.
Sherwood’s tale opens on a celebratory gathering. Verna Sawyer (Lili Taylor) presents a young Jed Saywer (Boris Kabakchiev) with his first chainsaw. Happy birthday! Jed...

So, here’s the thing: going into Leatherface, I was primed to love it, despite not being a huge fan of Texas Chainsaw 3D (whose only saving grace was giving us the endlessly quotable line, “Do your thing, cuz!”). I’ll never write off a beloved franchise when I’m not crazy about a particular sequel—after all, if I had done that, I may never have fallen in love with Wes Craven’s New Nightmare or went bananas for Jason Lives. And for the most part, I was on board for Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s exploration of the Sawyer family’s demented dynamics, despite the fact that Leatherface feels like two-thirds The Devil’s Rejects and one-third Natural Born Killers.
But then, the film takes such an egregious misstep in the film’s third act that I completely checked out on Leatherface, and it left me wondering...

"The massacre begins..." Lionsgate has revealed a third official trailer for the horror prequel Leatherface, telling the origin of the evil man who would become known as "Leatherface". If you're still not sold on this horror, maybe one more trailer will do the trick? (I doubt it.) But fire it up anyway. This is the long-awaited prequel to Tobe Hooper's original horror classic, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from 1974. Just incase you needed an origin story. In this film, Jessica Madsen plays one of four inmates from a mental hospital - the other three played by Sam Coleman, Sam Strike, and James Bloor. They kidnap a nurse, Vanessa Grasse, and take her on a "road trip from hell." The full cast also includes Stephen Dorff, Lili Taylor, and Julian Kostov. Still not into this at all, doesn't seem that interesting, but maybe that's just me. Enjoy. Here's the third...

With the DirecTV debut of Leatherface lurking right around the corner, you can practically hear the chainsaws churning. To help hold fans over just a little bit longer, Lionsgate released a new poster for the film that features the ominous Sawyer homestead on the horizon.
Directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo (2007's Inside, aka À l'intérieur), Leatherface stars Sam Coleman, Sam Strike, James Bloor, Vanessa Grasse, Stephen Dorff (looking to go full vengeance mode à la Dennis Hopper in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2), and Lili Taylor as Verna Sawyer.
Leatherface will be released on September 21st on DirecTV, followed by a limited theatrical and full VOD release by Lionsgate on October 20th.
"In Texas, years before the events of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, in the early days of the infamous Sawyer family, the youngest child is sentenced to a mental hospital after a suspicious incident leaves the sheriff’s daughter dead.

Who will survive and, dare we say it, what will be left of them?
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is one of horror’s modern-day cornerstones, and it’s fair to say that, even after all these years, Tobe Hooper’s cult classic stands the test of time. Fast forward to the present day and, in light of Hooper’s recent death, there’s an air of bittersweet sorrow looming over Leatherface, Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo’s horror prequel due to rev up the family chainsaw next month.
Of course, we say bittersweet because although it’s sad to lose such a remarkable talent, in many ways Leatherface will hope to honor Hooper’s spine-chilling legacy. And the film’s new and indeed final poster has arrived just in time for release. Embedded below, it’s a decidedly chilling tease of what’s to come, and we can only assume...

This Halloween, prepare to witness the true origins of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
We are, of course, referring to Leatherface, Julian Maury and Alexandre Bustillo’s long-anticipated prequel that has taken on a greater meaning since the death of Tobe Hooper, a recognized mainstay of Hollywood’s horror genre thanks to his involvement in Poltergeist, Salem’s Lot and of course, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which spawned a million nightmares in 1974 with its tale of deranged cannibals residing in America’s Deep South.
Now, almost 45 years since its inception, Maury and Bustillo are prepped and ready to deliver a freaky origin story centering on one of cinema’s greatest movie monsters. Working from a script penned by Seth M. Sherwood, Leatherface is little over a month away from its limited theatrical release, and the folks over at Bloody Disgusting have relayed a creepy new poster to stoke the embers of excitement.

Now that David Sandberg and the folks at New Line have waded through the spooky origins of Annabelle, directors Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury are preparing to cordially invite horror fans on a journey back toward ground zero of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre saga with Leatherface.
Pegged to arrive in the latter stages of October – or mid-September, if you happen to have access to DirecTV – Leatherface will dive deep into the bloody history of the Sawyer family and their cannibalistic ways. Casting-wise, we know that the prequel features Jessica Madsen, Sam Coleman, Sam Strike and James Bloor as four inmates who manage to claw their way out of a mental hospital, and the official plot synopsis reads as so:

Following the initial red-band trailer for The Texas Chain Saw Massacre prequel Leatherface, a new green band trailer has been revealed (after initially premiering on EW), giving fans of the franchise a deeper look into life with the Sawyer family and troubled times at a psychiatric ward.
Directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo (2007's Inside, aka À l'intérieur), Leatherface stars Sam Coleman, Sam Strike, James Bloor, Vanessa Grasse, Stephen Dorff (looking to go full vengeance mode à la Dennis Hopper in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2), and Lili Taylor as Verna Sawyer.
"Prequel about teenage Leatherface who escapes from a mental hospital with three other inmates, kidnaps a young nurse and takes her on a road trip from hell.

"You know his legend, witness the creation." Lionsgate has revealed a second official trailer for the horror prequel Leatherface, telling the origin of the man who would become known as "Leatherface". This is a much more tame green band trailer without any blood, compared to the much more violent red band. This is the long-awaited official prequel to Tobe Hooper's original horror classic, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre from 1974. In this film, Jessica Madsen plays one of four inmates from a mental hospital - the other three played by Sam Coleman, Sam Strike, and James Bloor. They kidnap a nurse, Vanessa Grasse, and take her on a "road trip from hell." The full cast also includes Stephen Dorff, Lili Taylor, and Julian Kostov. I'm still not sure about this movie, especially with this bloodless trailer, but give it a look anyway. Here's the second official trailer (+ poster) for Bustillo & Maury's Leatherface,...

Leatherface is a prequel to Tobe Hooper's iconic thriller The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). Both films focus on a masked villain, who turns humans into meat. The earlier film had an anti-meat or anti-slaughterhouse message. This latest update brings more trickery to the screen. Set for a late September launch, through DirecTV, this title will also have an October Video-on-demand and limited theatrical release. Fans of true horror can find the Green Band trailer for Leatherface here. A few more story details have been released for the film. It looks like Leatherface's earlier name was the more innocuous Bud. Bud is confined to a mental hospital, after displaying strange behaviours. He escapes with a kidnapped nurse. Soon, the Texas countryside is littered with bodies as the monster Leatherface is created. As well, a new, alternate film poster is hosted here. The graphic shows Bud (Sam Coleman) with a new victim,...

A new theatrical trailer has been released for the upcoming Texas Chainsaw Massare prequel film Leatherface. The first trailer that was released was a red-band version, this latest one isn't as hardcore, but it still gives you a good idea of what to expect from the movie.
I remember seeing the original film for the first time as a young teenager and it kind of jacked me up. The movie was wickedly disturbing and none of the other films in the franchise managed to bring that raw horror grittiness. Most of the other films were still entertaining, though.
I'm still not sold on this prequel movie. I hope that it's good, though! I'd love to see another good movie in this horror franchise. I wasn't a big fan of that remake that was made back in 2003.

The Sawyer family may not hold the same level of prestige in the horror genre as, say, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, or even Chucky, the pint-sized Devil Doll who is gearing up for a triumphant return in October, but make no mistake, that cannibalistic clan is the stuff of nightmares.
First introduced via Tobe Hooper’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre many moons ago, later this year directors Julian Maury and Alexandre Bustillo will be peeling back the many layers of the Sawyer family to uncover Leatherface, a horror prequel that’s set to deliver a jump-scare or three in October.
It’s one of two high-profile titles coming out of Lionsgate this Halloween season – the other being Michael and Peter Spierig’s Jigsaw – but as Leatherface is poised to launch into theaters first, the studio has doubled down on the prequel’s marketing blitz to unveil a new, suitably creepy poster.

Fans of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre rejoice! The full-length red band trailer for the cult classic’s prequel, Leatherface, has debuted – if you’re of a delicate disposition we strongly advise you turn away now.
Dubbed an origin story, Leatherface is the eighth outing in the bloody gruesome saga of horror films and is helmed by French duo Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury, the duo behind the slasher movie Inside (À l’intérieur), as well as Livide and Among the Living.
The trailer starts with a creepy score, building the scares with a collapsing floor in a barn, a child blowing out candles on a birthday cake before switching to a human mask being stitched together. The next thing to hit you will be the sight of, what seems, the whole town losing their minds and stabbing each other in the neck as well as shooting each...

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a saga so embedded in the modern-day horror genre, that it’s almost difficult to imagine a future without it.
Of course, we know that Hollywood is partial to rebooting/resurrecting a dormant horror franchise for a new generation – think of Andy Muschietti’s It, Friday the 13th and, to a lesser extent, Jigsaw – and come October, directors Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo will carve out a new chapter in the storied history of TCM in the form of Leatherface.
It’s a prequel to Tobe Hooper’s genre classic of 1974, when a group of unsuspecting teens stumbled upon a cannibal family and Leatherface himself, the serial killer famed for wearing a mask made of human skin. Gnarly stuff, by anyone’s standards, and at least based on the blood-drenched first photos for Leatherface,...
