Before Adam Wingard joined Legendary's Monsterverse to helm Godzilla vs. Kong and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, he directed what is arguably one of the greatest slasher films of the 2010s: You're Next. Written by Simon Barrett, the film focuses on an estranged family who find themselves under attack by a group of masked assailants during a family reunion. It's a familiar premise, but one Wingard and Barrett handled with a deft hand that's filled with black humor and gory kills. Now, the pair are discussing the sequel they had planned, which they're glad they never made.

The chat between the two comes during a new commentary track on You're Next, which was released yesterday on SteelBook 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray exclusively from Lionsgate Limited (via Bloody Disgusting). The film saw its killers decked out in a lamb, a fox, and a tiger mask, and while Lamb Mask (L.

You’re Next put a delightfully bloody spin on the home invasion genre, earning the film a passionate cult following that has only grown since its release in 2011. Although the ending of You’re Next did leave the door open for a sequel, a follow-up never materialized. However, that doesn’t mean that director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett didn’t consider it.

In a new commentary track (via Bloody Disgusting) on the film’s new 4K Ultra HD Steelbook release, Wingard and Barrett detailed the sequel and explained why they’re glad they never made it.

“Originally, [the Lamb Mask killer] got decapitated in the script with his hand pinned to his head,” Barrett said. “But then we were like, ‘Ah, perfect opportunity, because this film’s gonna be a huge theatrical success, everyone’s telling us, so for You’re Next 2 we’ll just bring [L.C. Holt] back as the Lamb Mask killer.

You’re Next is out today on SteelBook 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray exclusively from Lionsgate Limited, and director Adam Wingard and writer Simon Barrett discuss the unmade sequel to the 2011 home invasion slasher in a new commentary track.

“Originally, [the Lamb Mask killer] got decapitated in the script with his hand pinned to his head,” Barrett explains. “But then we were like, ‘Ah, perfect opportunity, because this film’s gonna be a huge theatrical success, everyone’s telling us, so for You’re Next 2 we’ll just bring [L.C. Holt] back as the Lamb Mask killer.’

“But because his frontal cortex is damaged by getting stabbed in the forehead, he won’t be able to feel pain anymore. He’ll be kind of crazier now, and he wants revenge for his brother.”

He continues, “Our sequel idea, which I’m glad we didn’t do, was the notion that Erin would be arrested.

Control Freak: "Directed and written by Shal Ngo, known for his work on "The Park," "The Box," and "The Last Fisherman," "Control Freak" introduces a chilling narrative: "A motivational speaker is tormented by an unrelenting itch on the back of her head." This intriguing premise leads into a terrifying journey as she battles a parasitic demon from her homeland, bringing a fresh and thrilling perspective to the horror genre.

Shal Ngo was tapped to write and direct the short film "Control" in 2021 for the second season of Hulu’s Bite Size Halloween. The feature version of "Control Freak" developed from this initial short, becoming part of WorthenBrooks’s robust slate of horror features for Hulu, which includes titles like "Appendage," “The Mill," "Clock," "Mr. Crocket," and “Carved."

The film stars Kelly Marie Tran, celebrated for her roles in “Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi” and "Raya and the Last Dragon,...

Butchers Bluff, a gory throwback to ’80s slashers, will be released on VOD on March 11 from Breaking Glass Pictures.

Explore the urban legend of the Hogman in the trailer below.

A group of college students venture to a reclusive Texas town where 28 people have mysteriously vanished over the past two decades seeking to uncover the truth behind the Hogman legend for their thesis project. What begins as an ambitious academic endeavor turns into a horrifying fight for survival.

Michael Fischer, Paige Steakley, and Johnny Huang star with Paul T. Taylor (Hellraiser: Judgment), Bill Oberst Jr. (3 from Hell), Jeremy London (Mallrats), L.C. Holt (You’re Next), Brinke Stevens (The Slumber Party Massacre), and Bill Johnson (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2).

William Instone and Matt Rifley co-direct from a script by Instone and Renfield Rasputin.

“William Instone masterfully sets the tone in Butchers Bluff, a blood-soaked homage to 1980s slasher films,” praised Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff.

The concept of a haunted or cursed object goes deep into the human race's collective memory. Ever since we were barely bipedal Cro-Magnons, we learned that there were certain things we should not touch or even look at, lest we encounter danger as a result. As our minds and awareness expanded, such deep seated fears extended out toward the supernatural, and we began entertaining the idea that such things as books, paintings, music, and eventually cinema could somehow be cursed. While these fears are still alive and well in the digital space, warning us against clicking on mysterious hyperlinks, there's still a certain je ne sais quoi to allegedly cursed physical media.

When the "V/H/S" franchise began in 2012, the filmmakers behind it capitalized on this latent fear of ours, providing just enough hints and allusions as to why a series of VHS tapes seen in the films might contain eerie,...

"When the secret's are out, you often discover who your friends are..." Dark Sky Films has revealed the trailer for an indie slasher horror film titled Time's Up, made by filmmaker L.C. Holt. This premiered last year at the Popcorn Frights Film Festival and will be getting a release later in 2023. On New Year's Eve, a faculty party for teachers at an idyllic Maine high school, still reeling from the suicide death of a bullied student, goes horribly wrong when an unexpected guest arrives with an unusual request – participate in a scavenger hunt or die. The assailant is hell bent on revealing their darkest secrets. And when twelve o'clock arrives... heads will begin to roll. This stars Damian Maffei, Hannah Fierman, L.C. Holt, Jonathan Tiersten, Kamarra Cole, Madison Edmunds, Tyler Senatore, Kate Kiddo, and Chaney Morrow. This stoic "Father Time" masked killer looks funny, especially with the ominous voiceover from the trailer.

Hold The Fort, Coming Soon to Kickstarter, Casts Julian Smith: "Lucas and Jenny are getting settled in their new home when Jerry Klein, the Hoa president, knocks on their door. He invites them to the neighborhood's annual “Equinox Party.” Ready to embrace suburban life, Lucas excitedly accepts.

But this is no ordinary party...A banner hangs at the clubhouse's entrance: Welcome to the Equinox. Please don't die. There are talks of a portal to hell, dangerous mythical creatures, copious amounts of Moonshine, and a legendary gun wielding hero, McScruffy.

Lucas, thinking this is all a joke, hesitantly mingles with the other party guests when the inevitable happens.

The portal to hell opens...

And the first monsters attack."

Veteran YouTuber Julian Smith will star in the film, which is aiming for a September production start date. Hold The Fort is a Horror Comedy from award winning writer/director William Bagley...

The film will include two actresses from the horror franchise, Scream, Nancy Anne Ridder, and Leonora Scelfo, in its cast. Additionally, Lc Holt, known for his roles in “Watchdog,” “VHS 2,” and “You’Re Next,” will also be joining the cast.

Six friends start a business providing guided tours to the shooting locations of the world’s most famous horror films, until they discover the one spot where the terror is real.

The saddest thing about Jeff Seemann‘s Terror Trips is that it’s easy to tell it was entirely made from a place of love for the horror genre. There is so much heart, soul, passion, and care injected into the film to the point where it’s legitimately upsetting knowing what unfolds throughout the course of the movie.

Long story short, Terror Trips is one of the most boring and uneventful horror films of the year. It runs at an extremely brisk eighty-seven minutes including credits, and yet so much of the film focuses on this young group of friends...

New Year’s Eve slasher Time’s Up is currently halfway to its funding goal over on Indiegogo, and we’ve learned today that Dave Sheridan has signed on. The upcoming slasher film from director Corey Norman will also star the previously announced Damian Maffei (The Strangers Prey at Night, Haunt), Hannah Fierman (V/H/S and Siren), L.C. Holt (You’re Next, V/H/S/2), and Felissa Rose (Sleepaway […]...

Following on from the relative success of found-footage horror flick V/H/S earlier this year, comes the sequel – once more bringing together a collection of filmmakers to each to present their own horror vignette. Following an almost identical formula, V/H/S 2 is harmless, enjoyable fun – yet, much like first, it pushes no boundaries and lacks distinctly in ingenuity and innovation. Oh, and it’s not very scary either.

When private investigators (Laurence Michael Levine, Kelsy Abbott) go on the hunt for a missing student (L.C. Holt), they find themselves at his derelict flat, where a collection of disturbing VHS tapes lie, waiting to be watched. As part of their ongoing investigation, the pair decide to watch the cassettes, much to their evident displeasure. Amongst the harrowing, sinister videos, we have Adam Wingard’s ‘Phase I Clinical Trials’, whereby a man (played by Wingard himself) is given a new...

Magnolia Home Entertainment has announced that the hit horror anthology sequel V/H/S/2 will be released on Blu-ray, Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack, Blu-ray/DVD/VHS Combo Pack, DVD and VHS tape on September 24.

Take a look at the cover art and special features details below.

From the innovative minds that brought you last year's V/H/S comes V/H/S/2, an all-new anthology of dread, madness, and gore. Searching for a missing student, two private investigators break into his abandoned house and find another collection of mysterious VHS tapes. In viewing the horrific contents of each cassette, they realize there may be terrifying motives behind the student's disappearance.

Director Jason Eisener talks about his Slumber Party Alien Abduction short in V/H/S/2, currently available on VOD and debuting in theaters July 12

It isn't often that there are two horror anthologies in one year, but 2013 must be an exception with this spring's The ABCs of Death and the terrifying V/H/S/2, currently available on VOD formats and debuting in theaters July 12. Director Jason Eisener, who broke out on the scene in 2011 with the cult classic Hobo with a Shotgun, was actually involved in both those anthologies. His V/H/S/2 short, Slumber Party Alien Abduction, is just as crazy as it sounds, and, like the rest of these segments, have to be seen to be believed. I recently had the chance to speak with Jason Eisener over the phone about his involvement in this project. Here's what he had to say.

I was a huge fan of the first movie.

S-vhs

Starring: Kelsy Abbott, L.C. Holt, Adam Wingard

Rating: Not Yet Rated

Release Date: Tbd

Trailer Score: 5/10

Thoughts by Tsr: I love a good anthology, so it seems like this and its predecessor (last year’s V/H/S) should be right up my alley. For whatever reason, though, I couldn’t muster up enough excitement to actually sit down and watch the previous installment. I was already feeling more inclined to check this one out thanks to contributions from Hobo with a Shotgun‘s Jason Eisener and The Blair Witch Project‘s Eduardo Sánchez. As for the short trailer itself, I appreciate that it doesn’t give away too much (I’ll be less positive about this in a moment). Unless the biggest scare is some creature attacking a bloodied guy’s car,...

S-vhs will continue the fun from the first film, VHS. Premiering at Sundance '13, this sequel again brings several horrifying tales to the big screen. S-vhs will show at Sundance January 19th and the first trailer has been launched for the show. The short teaser mishmashes several short stories together. A child's birthday party is interrupted by some creature, another character drowns, while a man is attacked in his car by a dinosaur-like creature. The clip is short and chaotic. But, horror fans will find something here to entice them to the show, with a wide release for S-vhs sure to be announced soon. Premiere Date: January 19th (Theatrical). Writers: Simon Barrett, John Davies, Jason Eisener, Gareth Evans, Jamie Nash and Timo Tjahjanto. Cast: Adam Wingard, Lawrence Michael Levine, Kelsy Abbott, Hannah Hughes, L.C. Holt, Producers: Simon Barrett, Roxanne Benjamin, Gary Binkow, Kyle David Crosby, Brad Miska, Tom Owen, Adam Wingard,...
