This Modern ‘Spawn’ Trailer Could Trick Me Into Watching it Again

Published

on

Ah, the 1997 Spawn, a feature film adaptation of Todd McFarlane’s awesome Image comic series that came from super genre studio New Line Cinema, and also boasted one of the greatest collaborative soundtracks of all time (Kirk Hammett and Orbit, Marilyn Manson and Sneaker Pimps, Korn and the Chemical Brothers?!) The 17-year-old Brad Miska convinced himself that it was a great movie, but deep down he knew it was a disappointment. Frankly, it was ahead of its time, and carried way too many effects shots for a feature film of its lower budgeted kind.

Nearly 20 years later I think it’s time we admit that we need this remake. It’s destiny. Even McFarlane thinks that in believing a Spawn reboot is a reality, it will eventually become so. I too think that eventually someone will fork over the cash and let McFarlane craft his R-rated vision that is surely going to be better than the disaster that came in 1997.

Still, we all have fond memories of the 90s, Image Comics, and McFarlane’s rock-solid toy lines. And with that, we present a modern take on the Spawn trailer that is somewhat tricking me into believing that it’s better than I remember (spoiler, it’s not). Still, it’s under my skin enough that I’m more than definitely going to be revisiting it sometime soon…maybe that’s the work of Malebolgia?

‘Graveyard Shark’ – Practical Suit Creature Feature Looks Like ‘Street Sharks: The Horror Movie’ [Trailer]

Published

on

Indie shark attack horror movies are a dime a dozen, but every so often one comes along that looks quite a bit different than the others. That’s the case with Graveyard Shark, an upcoming indie horror effort that looks to feature a pretty awesome practical man-shark costume.

From director Matthew A. Peters, Graveyard Shark recently raised finishing funds on Indiegogo, and the DVD, Blu-ray and even VHS tape are up for pre-order from Mad Angel Films.

According to the site, pre-orders will begin shipping on July 19, 2024.

The team previews, “Graveyard Shark is a gripping horror film set in the small town of Willsboro Point, haunted by the terrifying urban legend known as the Graveyard Shark.

“This humanoid creature stalks its prey in the town graveyard, striking unexpectedly and leaving a trail of blood in its wake. Abby Wescott, a renowned cryptid hunter, is called in by Dr. Jan Lovnik to uncover the truth behind the urban legend. As Abby begins her investigation, she learns about the creature’s dark origins from Captain Issac Seyburn, who was present on the night the legend began. Together, Abby and Seyburn team up with a group of Graveyard Shark survivors to put an end to the creature once and for all.

“But as they journey deeper into the graveyard, they realize that the Graveyard Shark may be more intelligent and cunning than they could have imagined. As the body count rises and the stakes become higher, Abby and her team must confront their deepest fears and fight to survive against the deadly Graveyard Shark.”

Stephanie Ward, Michael John Gilbert, Berndele March, Ryan Santiago, Madisen Zabawa, Olivia Walton, Daniel DeFranco, and Olga Bogdanova star in the upcoming creature feature.
