Deadites

The blood-soaked debate ends here: the greatest horror franchises ever, judged on quality alone.

A hit horror filmmaker is itching for Middle-earth, ready to drop everything to helm the next Lord of the Rings movie as the franchise looks beyond Peter Jackson’s landmark trilogy.

Now in theaters, Lee Cronin’s The Mummy ditches cheap jump scares for creeping dread and brutal practical effects — here’s how scary and gory it really is.

The Evil Dead universe is set to grow once more, with a fresh instalment on the way. Acclaimed director Francis Galluppi will helm the project, featuring a cast of familiar faces.
