The film was produced by Sam Raimi, Robert Tapert, and Takashige Ichise, who brought Shimizu, director of the original Japanese films, to the US for this remake.

In this episode, my guest is Jason Jenkins and we talk about some of the sequels to our favorite horror franchises that had a great sequel or remake idea in the works but for some reason never made it out of the production board room. His book, Phantom Limbs (based on the Bloody Disgusting column he wrote during the pandemic) is a great source for the horror geek in all of us as well as your basic film history buff. Check it out on its April 2, 2024 release date. From the publisher: Originally a column on popular horror website Bloody Disgusting, Phantom Limbs is the inaugural volume of a planned series of books which will explore the histories of unmade horror movie sequels and remakes and the stories they would have told. “I've always been drawn to the stories behind unmade movies,” says Jenkins, “going all the way back to my early days as a horror nerd reading about Peter Jackson's unrealized Nightmare on Elm Street sequel in an old Fangoria back in the 90s.  It's a pleasure and a privilege to be able to speak with so many brilliant creatives about their own unproduced genre works and to help usher their stories along to fellow fans.” Featuring lengthy interviews, detailed synopses and concept artwork/posters, Phantom Limbs will cover unmade extensions to popular horror franchises such as Halloween, Predator, Psycho, Resident Evil, Saw, The Shining, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.  This initial volume will also include chats with such genre luminaries as Mike Flanagan, Mick Garris, Alan B. McElroy, Jeffrey Reddick, Stephen Susco, and many others! Sean Duregger, Managing Editor of Encyclopocalypse had this to say of Phantom Limbs, “Mark Alan Miller and I adored Jason's column at Bloody Disgusting and it's been a treat bringing it to horror fans in the expanded form only a book can give you. I'm personally excited to add this alongside all of my other revered Horror Nonfiction on my bookshelf.” Phantom Limbs will be available directly from Encyclopocalypse Publications in eBook and Print at www.encyclopocalypse.com (BuyHorrorBooks.com) or from your favorite bookseller. The audiobook version will be available exclusively from Audible or Apple Books.   Direct pre-order links: eBook: https://www.encyclopocalypse.com/product/phantom-limbs-ebook/378 Print: https://www.encyclopocalypse.com/product/phantom-limbs/377

Karen takes on Japan! Join BP, Coop and Justin as we discuss The Grudge, the 2004 J-horror film starring Buffy aka Sarah Michelle Gellar. Spoilers ahead! The Grudge describes a curse that is born when someone dies in the grip of extreme rage or sorrow, created where the person died. Those who encounter the curse die, and the curse is reborn repeatedly, passing from victim to victim in an endless, growing chain of horror. The following events are explained in their actual order, however, the film is presented in a nonlinear narrative. In 2001, Kayako Saeki, a housewife living in suburban Tokyo, is in love with college professor Peter Kirk, obsessively writing about him in a diary. Her husband Takeo becomes jealous as he discovers the diary and believes that Kayako is having an affair with another man. Takeo brutally murders her, and their young son Toshio for walking in on the murder, and the pet cat Mar in a fit of rage. After Takeo hides the bodies in the house, Kayako's ghost hangs him with her hair. After receiving a letter from Kayako, Peter visits the Saeki house only to find both her and Takeo's corpses along with Toshio's ghost. Shocked, he flees the scene and commits suicide the next day. The remainder of the Saeki family rise again as ghosts due to the curse, notably Kayako, who appears as an onryō. In 2004, the Williams family from America move into the Saeki house. While Matt is thrilled with the house, his wife Jennifer and dementia-ridden mother Emma feel uncomfortable. Matt and Jennifer are quickly consumed by the curse. Yoko, a care worker, arrives at the house to find Emma alone before she encounters Kayako, who drags her up into the attic. Concerned about Yoko's disappearance, her employer Alex sends another care worker, Karen Davis, to take over the care of Emma. At the house, Karen discovers Toshio sealed up in a wardrobe and later on witnesses Kayako's spirit descending from the ceilings to claim Emma.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Alexa Mansour over Zoom! Alexa Mansour is a television actress currently starring as Hope on AMC’s The Walking Dead: World Beyond and she starred in the buzzy, social media-driven genre feature UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB from director Stephen Susco.  Growing up, performing was one of her edges that eventually progressed to creating and performing music. One of her breakthroughs is Undress Me, directed by Tatia Pilieva which garnered over 40 million views on YouTube alone. Once an aspiration, Alexa Mansour eventually pursued her dream of becoming a musician. It was her first love and pursuing it led her to play and release her debut single Can’t Stop Myself released early of October this year. This pandemic brought her a lot of realizations in reliving her childhood dreams. Growing up, she was always being bullied by her classmates that turned out poorly. Her self-esteem was down the hill that she didn’t really see herself perform in a lot of people. This situation allowed her mom to think of other ways on how to boost her confidence and this is when she took acting lessons. Little did she know, acting was just a bridge for her to cross towards the music industry. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYIbPBBODgPDyAS0VSuXpHQhttps://www.instagram.com/alexamansour/?hl=enhttps://twitter.com/AlexaMansourhttps://www.facebook.com/TheAlexaMansour/ We want to hear from you!

It's another jam-packed and eclectic episode of BEHIND THE LENS as we go dark with UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB, do a summer sizzle with the cast of HOT SUMMER NIGHTS, and revisit LITTLE PINK HOUSE with our special guest, COLIN CUNNINGHAM. First up we hear from the cast of HOT SUMMER NIGHTS. A real summer sizzler from writer/director Elijah Bynum, HOT SUMMER NIGHTS is a coming-of-age tale set against an East Coast beach community and an impending hurricane. (And I don't know which is more volatile – teenaged hormones or a hurricane.) HOT SUMMER NIGHTS is an explosion of beauteous stylized visual (and gorgeous color composition) married to a period-perfect 90's musical montage, serving as the framework for strong performances from Timothee Chalamet, Alex Roe ("The Fith Wave", "Forever My Girl"), Maika Monroe ("Independence Day: Resurgence", "The 5th Wave") and Maia Mitchell ("The Fosters"). Take a listen to excerpts of our exclusive interviews with ALEX ROE, MAIKA MONROE, and MAIA MITCHELL as they talk about their respective attractions to the story and getting into some very different character skins. Then we welcome veteran actor COLIN CUNNINGHAM, one of the stars of LITTLE PINK HOUSE, now available on DVD/On Demand. Listen as Colin talks about the importance of a film like LITTLE PINK HOUSE, a true story that focuses on the issue of eminent domain in the United States, and then balances that with his experiences on a series like "Falling Skies" or "Preacher" or a fun-filled tv-movie like "Mr. St. Nick". Calling in live from the set of his new film, "Bashira", a Japanese horror film, Colin's enthusiasm and excitement for his craft are palpable as he talks about performance and his approach to the industry plus, his overall body of work. We wrap up the show with an excerpt from our exclusive interview with writer/director STEPHEN SUSCO who talks about his new film UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB. Thanks to Timur Bekmambetov, we were introduced to the new film language of "ScreenLife" or "Screen Reality" with "Unfriended." Stephen now continues to explore ScreenLife with UNFRIENDED: DARK WEB. Take a listen as he talks about not only his approach in taking ScreenLife to the next level, but in developing a story rooted within the very fears of so many, the Dark Web. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Unfriended: Dark Web is the sequel to the 2014 movie, Unfriended, and if you saw the first movie you might be bracing for impact – don’t. Dark Web is a great deal more enjoyable than the first movie, and only ports over the computer screen viewing format of Unfriended. If you want to watch Unfriended: Dark Web, please consider renting or purchasing the movie through this amazon link to help us support the podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DJAWGXkvq8 There isn’t much else that ties this sequel to its predecessor, which is a good thing. Frankly, I’m not too sure why they chose to keep the series going instead of just starting over, but there you have it. Having seen the first movie, I was ready for a big letdown walking into the theater on the opening weekend. The setup and lead-in to Dark Web let me dangle and confirmed my worst fears, this was going to be a rehashing of the original. The acting and script seemed corny, and the movie relied mostly on the strange and slightly jarring format of watching someone use a computer. If You like AI Gone Wrong Listen to Our Review of Child's Play (2019) https://www.horrormovietalk.com/2019/06/26/childs-play-2019-review/ Stephen Susco, the same man that brought us the classic, The Grudge, brings us this, and I can't say that this is quite as iconic. If you are familiar with this format, it’s just as mentioned – watching someone use a computer. Imagine standing behind someone who is using a computer and watching their mouse drag slowly across the screen. Maybe the cursor sits for a little bit on a button or circles around a piece of dialog to emphasize it’s importance. This describes almost the entire movie. At first, it’s very distracting, it later becomes pretty easy to follow and is executed well. I could see the format being confusing enough to my parents for them to turn this movie off immediately. My Rating 6/10 Spoilers: The Rundown It starts with Matias, the protagonist, trying to login to a computer that he took from a cyber-café that he works at. The action starts with a group of friends meeting online over Skype for a long-distance game night. The protagonist, Mat and his deaf girlfriend, Amaya have several asides that point to relationship tension over his neglecting to learn sign language. While the game night ensues, Mat begins getting strange and alarming messages from a Facebook account that claims he stole the laptop he is using. Eventually, Mat finds some alarming videos on his stolen computer, videos that nod at things like rape, human trafficking, and human torture. He does his best not to get sucked into this world but ends up being entrapped by the owner of the computer and told that if he doesn’t keep up his end of a twisted bargain he, his girlfriend, and all his friends on Skype will be killed. Stuff happens, and it ramps into a sort of Final Destination style kill-fest with a pretty decent twist. To cap it all off, Unfriended: Dark Web was released to theaters with two different endings. There is no easy way to find out which theater has which ending, but I would suggest asking the employees which one they got – it could work! How Unfriended: Dark Web Stacks Up Once the action starts to kick in, and you realize that the antagonist in this movie is a real person who is willing to do horrible things to people in real life and not a supernatural killer like in the first movie, it really comes into its own. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lve29BQ69MM The acting pulled a fast one on me in the beginning, making me think that this was going to be a poorly acted, generic and forgettable horror movie, but all the actors gave an admirable performance when called upon to be believable. If continuity errors bother you tremendously, there will be plenty of spots in Unfriended: Dark Web that will niggle you. My suggestion would be to go in, suspend your disbelief,
