Video Clip From ‘Poltergeist’ Flashes a Light On the Possessed Clown!
With the teaser trailer arriving sometime today, Bloody Disgusting has landed a small clip that gives us a taste of the clown moment from the Gil Keenan-directed Poltergeist, haunting theaters on July 24, 2015.
The clown, as teased yesterday in the first images, looks pretty cool, but I really hope they didn’t lose the moment where Robbie, Carol Anne’s brother, looks under the bed in the 1982 original. Frankly, I would like to see the filmmakers do their own thing, but only if it’s “better than.” Thankfully, Sam Raimi is a producer, which makes this all the more exciting.
Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Saxon Sharbino and Jane Adams star.
Legendary filmmaker Sam Raimi (producer) reimagines and contemporizes the classic tale about a family whose suburban home is invaded by angry spirits. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks and take the youngest daughter, the family must come together to rescue her.
To be released in 3-D, Jared Harris will play Carrigan, a larger than life TV personality who left the world of academia behind to become the star host of basic cable TV show “Haunted House Cleaners.”
Poltergeist has been rated PG-13 for “intense frightening sequences, brief suggestive material, and some language.”
Do you think the new clown is scarier than the one in Tobe Hooper’s original?
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
