AMERICAN HORROR STORY: Season Seven On The High Seas?

Published

on

Another year, another season of American Horror Story has more or less wrapped. Roanoke ended up being a true surprise, literally. As a wave of potential teasers for the mystery season were released, nobody could make heads or tails or teeth of what was to come. What we got was a ghostly tale of a haunting by the legendary lost colonists of Roanoke. On top of that, the series totally breaking from the typical narrative format of previous seasons by giving us an entire plot told through mockumentary, then the twist of changing formats again to found footage style. While there are certainly critiques and criticisms to be had, this season could easily go down as one of the series’ best structured plots and most inventive. Now, the question remains: What comes next?

Fortunately, clues have already dropped. Much like previous seasons, hints are dropped that allude to the horror stories to come. Such as discussions of asylums in Murder House, the use of the song “I Put A spell On You” in Asylum to Coven, and the line “Life Is Like A Carnival” in Coven alluding to Freak Show. Fortunately, the creators have released a cryptic, but revealing clue with this tweet off the Roanoke season finale.

So, we have a seemingly serene sea with the line “Sweet Dreams” and “The monsters are all gone” combined with cuts to those creepy Blair Witch style figures from this season. Off of that, I think it’s safe to speculate that Season 7 of American Horror Story may involve some scares on the seven seas! Or, at least those bordering America.

Another major clue that fans have latched onto was the focus to a model boat being knocked over in the season finale. When Lee returns to the cursed estate the same time that the Ghost Hunters knock-off show does their fateful stay during The Blood Moon, the antique model ship is supernaturally pushed over. But for a simple jump scare, the camera did linger on it quite a bit.

As well, it is noted that the colonists travelled to the Americas by way of ship, and some of the initial teasers did have aqua themed terror. Combined, I think it’s safe to guess that next season will have something to do with the ocean and a ship in particular. The tweet reading “The monsters are all gone” makes me think “Here there be monsters.” Perhaps as every season draws from real life horrors, one of the many famous boats or crews that have disappeared at sea. Such as The Mary Celeste or the many doomed souls to go through The Bermuda Triangle. As someone who really loves stories about the beasts of the deep, I am sincerely hoping for some scary sea monsters.

So while we wait, why not speculate! What do you think is the horror story to come in Season 7?

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
