The 5 ‘Psycho’ Films From Worst To Best!!!
The season finale of A&E’s “Bates Motel” airs tonight, so I figured I’d take a look back at the film that spawned it, Psycho, and the modest film franchise that followed.
Most of these movies were holding up fairly well in my memory except for Psycho 2 and Psycho 3, so I re-watched those over the weekend and was actually fairly surprised by how much I enjoyed them. When you think about it, the Psycho universe certainly has more solid installments than something like the Howling franchise, which is kind of neat. It’s just a bummer that the mythology of Norman Bates and the Bates Motel doesn’t really lend itself to much scrutiny (the minimal use of this stuff is part of what makes the original film so brilliant).

Captain American To Battle ‘The Ten O’Clock People’!
Captain America‘s Chris Evans is now circling the Stephen King adaptation The Ten O’Clock People, which once had Justin Long attached before scheduling conflicts got in the way, reports Deadline.

The pic is aiming for a fall shoot in Atlanta and will mark Holland’s third King adaptation after The Langoliers and Thinner. READ MORE
New ‘Child’s Play’ Tagline On The PG13 Side Of Things…
The sixth installment of the Child’s Play franchise, Curse of Chucky, started shooting in September in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The film is directed by Don Mancini, the Child’s Play franchise creator who has written or co-written each of the previous movies and was the director of Seed of Chucky.
And recently a video interview surfaced with Mancini in which we glimpse what looks like some sales art for the film. It bears the tagline, “Be afraid. Be effing afraid.” It’s not bad I guess, I actually kind of prefer it to “f*cking” in this case because the latter would show no originality. Of course, even though the tagline in somewhat censored, that doesn’t make it a PG13 movie. I’m fairly sure this thing will be R (for you rating police out there).
Curse of Chucky stars Fiona Dourif (The Master, “True Blood,” “Deadwood”), A Martinez (“Longmire,” “General Hospital”), Danielle Bisutti (Get Smart, “CSI: Miami”) and Brennan Elliott (Flight 93, Double Jeopardy). Brad Dourif (The Lord of the Rings, Dune) once again returns to provide the voice of Chucky, the pint-sized doll possessed by the spirit of notorious serial killer Charles Lee Ray, who returns to settle some unfinished business.
