[Fantastic Fest ’12 Review] Brad Thinks ‘The American Scream’ Could Be A Little Louder
Director Michael Stephenson made a big splash a year or so back with Best Worst Movie, which looked at the enduring Troll 2 fanbase. Now he’s back to put his magnifying glass over another horror-centric lifestyle choice in The American Scream. The documentary is playing the ongoing Fantastic Fest in Austin and has made a big splash with its depiction of American families who prepare, and launch, their own local haunted houses.
And now Brad (Mr. Disgusting) writes in with his review. He feels like the doc goes through the numbers a bit but is ultimately wholly worthwhile. “While it lacks punch, there’s a profound sense of joy in watching these hard working individuals get the much-deserved spotlight they long for. Many want to be remembered, and Chiller has landed them an eternal place in horror lore.”
Click here for the full review! Chiller TV airs The American Scream on October 28th at 8PM ET.
It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!
We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!
Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.
“Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.
Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”
Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”
In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
