First up, fans of
the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series
will be happy to hear that a poster and image for the seventh instalment of the
franchise are now circulating the web.
Texas Chainsaw 3D, out January 4th, is a direct sequel to Tobe
Hooper’s classic first instalment and will star a plethora of stars, not
unrelated to the series, including Tobe Hooper, Bill Moseley, and original Leatherface Gunnar Hansen! Click here for a plot synopsis and the exclusive first photo.
On the subject of classic series, it is a pleasure to announce that the sixth Child's Play film has commenced principal photography. The film, Curse of Chucky, will see Brad Dourif back as the voice of the demonic doll, and Don Mancini (writer/co-writer of the series) back writing and directing.

The film adaptation of Stephen King’s epic fantasy saga The Dark Tower has met more strife in the form of Warner Bros dropping the project. Thankfully Media Rights Capital seem pretty serious about taking up the opportunity, with Ron Howard still attached as director. Russell Crowe has expressed interest in playing the lead character Roland, a gunslinger in an apocalyptic world trying to unearth the mystery of the dark tower.
2009’s gory booby-trap horror The Collector has finally spawned a sequel, the gruesome poster for which can be found over at Bloody Disgusting. The Collection is due out October 30th and is again helmed by Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, the team that brought us Saw’s 4-7.

For
fans of Asain horror, 9-9-81 will be just the thing for you. Thai film exports
tend to angle more towards art-house, but when they do horror they get it
pretty spot-on. The film is composed of
nine short movies each nine minutes in length (hence the title) and as far as I
can tell will revolve around a vengeful bride.
Catch the trailer bellow.
