WORLD OF DEATH Ep. 189 – Ghostbleeder / It Will Come Back
This week’s installment of World of Death dives head first into the limits of control (not the Jim Jarmusch film). If you’re a fan of retro horror, ghost stories and Donald Trump’s head painted in nosebleed blood, then you won’t want to miss this episode!
Right off the bat, I knew Niklas Coskan’s Ghost Bleeder was something really special. Eerie pastels and saturated neon coat this style-drenched film of a girl being manipulated to kill by her “nosebleeds.” On the surface, the premise might seem simple but Coskan commits completely to his world and has crafted a masterful piece of throwback horror in the process. Explaining anything more would do this mini-masterpiece a disservice. Instead, you should go for the nosebleeds and stay for the visuals, music, performances, style and literally everything else.
I’ll be honest, Ghost Bleeder was a tough act to follow but the WOD team has found a perfect companion piece. Jose Cañas’ It Will Come Back is a highly effective chiller that uses details and symbols to maximum effect. A missing person, a music box, a chair, and a rope are all twisted in unexpected and unnerving ways. Cañas’ film really catches you off guard and most viewers going in will be pleasantly surprised once that tingle starts creeping up their spine. It Will Come Back plot doesn’t offer many answers, but it does offer the scares so who’s complaining?

The Wayans are out to cancel the Cancel Culture with Scary Movie, and the cast assures it will do just that.
“They sort of have an across-the-board style,” Anna Faris tells EW. “It’s always been a part of the Wayans Brothers, their electricity. ‘Can we offend you? Will you still love us? Come on, you still love us, don’t you?'”
Regina Hall concurs, promising the “boundary-pushing” sixth installment in the horror parody franchise will “offend everyone.”
EW has shared a batch of behind-the-scenes images from Scary Movie, which hits theaters June 5 via Paramount.
Faris and Hall are joined by fellow franchise favorites Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Dave Sheridan, Lochlyn Munro, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, and Jon Abrahams in the legacy sequel.
The ensemble includes Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Heidi Gardner, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park, Kenan Thompson, and Felissa Rose.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directs from a script by Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, original Scary Movie director Keenen Ivory Wayans, Craig Wayans (Scary Movie 2), and Rick Alvarez (A Haunted House).
The film will slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final.
Scary Movie launched in 2000, followed by Scary Movie 2 in 2001. The Wayans’ involvement ended there, but the series continued with 2003’s Scary Movie 3, 2006’s Scary Movie 4, and 2013’s Scary Movie 5.
