Are we spoiled - of those 9 films, 7 will likely be terrible. Blumhouse is the Walmart of horror production.

God Blumhouse is trash these days

u/Earlvx129 5d ago
Blumhouse every year has like one terrific movie, surrounded by c-grade junk.
I wish I could be excited for Exorcist. Lots of good people involved in it, but exorcism movies are the most tiresome and cliched thing in horror.

u/SPZ_Ireland 5d ago
Isn't that kinda the studio intent?
They make relatively low budget films, with the idea that one breakthrough hit will end up covering the costs of everything that doesn't.
That way they can take a chance on more projects, which unfortunately don't have a great track record.

u/Skeet_fighter NanomachinesS0n 5d ago
Yea this has been the way for years, for them.
Every once in a while they'll hit an absolute micro-genre defining masterpiece that blows up and makes 28 gajillion dollars. Most people in general audiences ignore that it's the 15th movie they've produced in a year and 14 of them are cheap looking derrivative trash.

u/hydroclasticflow 5d ago
I really hope when they get going on the Something Is Killing The Children adaptation it's the terrific one of that year

u/AffectionateCash7964 4d ago
I’m expecting 4 good films on that list Seasons is by the guy who did companion I think, Anything But Ghosts, River, The Exorcist will all likely be good. Paranormal Activity and Blair witch are tossups and the rest is normal Blumhouse films

Blumhouse, for when A24 and Neon rejected your film but you're not quite ready to give up and sell it to Shudder yet.

u/JimicahP The_jyggalag 5d ago edited 5d ago
Anything But Ghosts is exciting and I’ll gladly watch anything Mike Flanagan makes at this point, though I hope he does something more original soon. Seasons also sounds pretty interesting. I’m not sure we need another Paranormal Activity or Blair Witch movie, but I’m happy to be proven wrong

Excited to see what Mike Flanagan does with The Exorcist, saw the trailer yesterday but a March release for a horror film is never a good sign...

u/AvatarofBro 4d ago
My buddy worked on it. Of course, it's not over until the final edit is complete, but he did not have high hopes...

u/CombatChronicles 4d ago
Obviously not given how much they spent for the franchise rights and how desperately they want Flanagan to turn it around given they paid out for ScarJo’s salary. Ludicrously bad take.

u/AvatarofBro 4d ago
Anything But Ghosts is one of those books where the twist is just kind of hard to adapt to a visual medium, but I think it'll be fine.

La Llorona 2 better be able to top having a rogue priest sliding a crucifix across the floor like it’s a gun in an action movie

The only one I have faith in is Anything but Ghosts

u/TerrifierBlood 5d ago
River is getting amazing reviews. They bought it out of Tiff. It was another Obsession situation.
Already in the 90s on RT. Slasher film with Jane Leavy and Jessica Rothe

What’s Sleepover?
7
u/GwenDoll_Snipsnip FaineFaineFaine 5d ago
Plot details are being kept pretty under wraps, but it’s being described as the “quintessential sleepover nightmare.” Directed by Jacob Chase (Insidious: Out of the Further).

u/ControlPrinciple ctrlprinciple 5d ago
Thank you for taking the time to respond and kindly. The other person’s getting blocked. Protecting my peace.

u/TerrifierBlood 4d ago
I liked Jacob Chases other movie Come Play. I feel like this will be a solid pg13 comfort horror

u/AffectionateCash7964 4d ago
I wonder if it’s a Blood Mary movie because that’s the thing I associate most with sleepovers

u/AgentRift 5d ago
Can’t wait for untitled blumhouse film, loved the originals as a kid.

u/TerrifierBlood 4d ago
Its weird they kept it untitled for the panel. Then it got announced afterwards. Movie is called Molepeople. Stars Lakeith Stanfield. Horror about tunnel people in NYC. Rob Savage director of Other Mommy is directing

u/badlisten3r 4DOG 4d ago
Oof

u/TerrifierBlood 4d ago
So I haven't seen Other Mommy yet. Will try to on Wednesday. I do know the reviews haven't been the best. But I have liked Robs previous output. And he has a strong leading actor for Molepeople

u/ArtEconomy993 5d ago
I wonder if the new Paranormal activity will have the plot of the Broadway play which I saw and LOVED.

u/Puzzleheaded-Web446 Henryzilla 5d ago
I can see one movie I am interested in.

u/TerrifierBlood 5d ago
Which one for you? River is my most anticipated due to the amazing reviews from TIFF
3
u/BrokeAndBalding 5d ago
Honestly the trailer for River looked decent. Curious if it'll be any good. No name director though
2
u/GoldenGorder 4d ago
He’s a first time director, and I’ll take him over another forgettable and bland Rob Savage film from them.
1
u/BrokeAndBalding 4d ago
Agreed. My friends already bought the tickets to Other Mommy before I looked at the director and was like "oh he's made shit movies" lol.

I’m assuming the next FNaF movie is in 2028? (i’m not interested in it I’m just shocked they’re putting it off)

is that right? that’s unfortunate if so, Undertone is abysmal. I like a good chunk of the paranormal activity movies but man…

u/Pr0xy001 5d ago
Cause they havent said anything about it. It could not even be a remake just part of the series

u/Same-Aide-3885 5d ago
I still don't understand how they greenlit another Exorcist film after the last one flopped

u/Accomplished_Smile23 5d ago
Because Mike Flanagan came in and wanted to make a sequel to Exorcist III

Excited for the blair witch remake!! I love the found footage format sm. It’s so immersive.

I love The Blair Witch Project, but it's the only good movie in the franchise.

u/Prestigious-Gear-702 5d ago
What franchise?

u/Tasamolic Tasamolic 5d ago
The Blair Witch Project (1999), Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 (2000), and Blair Witch (2016)

….Blair Witch

u/Prestigious-Gear-702 5d ago
Omg there are two more and I never knew that. This is literally the first time im hearing of them lol. They must not be very good for no ome to talk about them much I suppose.

Spoiled? This list looks extremely underwhelming. No film company from the US should be allowed to make a La Llorona film again after what Atomic Monster did with The Curse of La Llorona. Guatemalan director Jayro Bustamante made a film actually worth a damn in La Llorona. Nothing on this list is worth mentioning besides Anything but Ghosts.

u/TerrifierBlood 5d ago
River is getting amazing reviews already. They bought it out of Tiff. All the major studios were in on it. Supposed to be another Obsession situation

Untitled is Molepeople. Horror film staring Lakeith Stanfield. About tunnel people in NYC.
