iHorror Exclusive: Could The Walking Dead’s Daryl Dixon Be The Next Big Villain?

Published

on

Written by Patti Pauley

We’re about to be four episodes deep into possibly one of the most somber and compelling seasons of The Walking Dead to date and it doesn’t look like things are going to be “Easy Street” anytime soon for Rick and the gang. In tonight’s 90 minute season 7 episode 4 premiere entitled ‘Service’, Negan makes his way to Alexandria with the intention of taking whatever he damn well pleases from the group. This is the first time the gang, who is still grieving from the brutal losses of both Abraham and Glenn, encounter their new dictator. The promo for episode four (shown below) showcases Daryl in tow along with the saviors into Alexandria; also being the first time since he has seen his comrades since his imprisonment. Rumors are swirling that this being a lengthened episode, that we may be saying our goodbyes to another cast member. Well, I can’t say for certain I know that to be a fact. However, an inside source close with the actors on AMC’s hit show exclusively told iHorror to “get ready to fucken hate Daryl this season.”

Although not official, this inside source who has been spot on with me personally about future happenings within the series, including the deaths of Abraham and Glenn, recently let me in on how Norman Reedus’ beloved character Daryl Dixon “will eventually turn to the darkside and become one of the show’s most hated characters.”

That would be quite a mind fuck for fans of the motorcycle riding fan favorite of the series, if this indeed comes to pass.

In last weeks episode “Easy Street”, we saw Negan attempting to slowly break Daryl with dog food sandwiches and the looping of possibly one of the most annoying songs I’ve ever heard. Seriously, anyone could snap even after one listen. Even with an attempted escape, basically telling Negan to his face to go “fuck himself” by refusing to call himself the latter, and a serious ass-whoopin’; Daryl hasn’t faltered. That is until a picture of what was presumably his old buddy Glenn and the aftermath of his encounter with Lucille, was thrown in his cell with him to contemplate over. This is when we see  Daryl break down in tears alongside (thank fucks) a different track courtesy of Roy Orbison. He does believe in a sense, that he is absolutely responsible for Glenn’s horrifying death. As cleverly pointed out by iHorror’s father Anthony Pernicka, Daryl’s wounds may even signify his fate: “I think the wound on Daryl’s back… and the shirt cut in a line with tape down the center of his back is symbolic of Daryl losing his wings. Being caged and turning.”

So is it really that hard to fathom Daryl making a huge transition from hero to villain? Dwight was in his shoes once before, and look where he’s at. This little insider tidbit, although not officially confirmed by anyone over by AMC, may not happen tonight or even in the first half of the season. However whether it’s true or not, I think by the end of season 7, we’re going to see a very different Dixon than what we are used to. Stranger things have happened this year. Just look at the 2016 election.

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.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

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.
