“Tap – – If You Hear It… It’s Too Late.” It’s October! That means it’s time to start featuring some new horror short films to get everyone, and keep everyone, in the horror movie mood throughout this month. Up first is a two-minute short film titled Tap, from director Dave Bundtzen. The film won Best Horror Short Film at the Top Shorts Film Festival, and it’s a surprisingly scary, but quick watch. Tap stars Katherine Celio and Mike Dinsmore. This reminds me of the short Where Is It we featured last year in the fall. I always enjoy shorts like this because it shows how films can be quite effective at scares within just a few minutes of time. ›››

“Who’s fault is it? Is it yours or is the world out to get you?” STX Entertainment has debuted the official trailer for The Upside, the American comedy remake of French film Les Intouchables, or The Intouchables, first released back in 2011. This new version of the film takes the same concept and same characters and sets it in New York, adding way too much dumb humor. It’s described as a “comedic look” at the relationship between a wealthy paraplegic and an unemployed man with a past criminal record who’s hired to help him. Kevin Hart stars, with Bryan Cranston as the paraplegic, and a full cast including Nicole Kidman, Julianna Margulies, Tate Donovan, and Aja Naomi King. Like many, I adore the original film, but this is a slap in the face to that one. I was hoping it might turn out okay, but putting Kevin Hart in it was a sure sign they would take out any of that authenticity in place of stupid humor (like the shower scene). Ugh. ›››

“Can you see…? You inspire the people!” Lionsgate has debuted one final official trailer for their new Robin Hood movie. The final trailer is just as worrisome as the last trailer, even though it looks like it has some entertaining action. They’re definitely trying to sell this like Pirates of the Caribbean, about a man of the people, and I don’t think it’s going to work. This new Robin Hood stars England’s top young actor Taron Egerton as Robin of Loxley, a “war-hardened Crusader” who fights against the corrupt English crown with his friend, Little John, played by Jamie Foxx. The cast includes Ben Mendelsohn, Eve Hewson, Tim Minchin, Björn Bengtsson, Ian Peck, and Jamie Dornan. As much as I’d like to see a modern Robin Hood movie, this just looks like every other action movie in the last decade. Give me something else, please. ›››

“I don’t know what I’m supposed to do!!” IFC Films has debuted an official US trailer for an Irish horror thriller titled Don’t Go, originally titled Don’t Let Go, the latest from filmmaker David Gleeson (Cowboys & Angels, The Front Line). Devastated by his daughter’s death in a terrible accident, Ben becomes convinced that he can bring her back through a recurring dream on a beach. But is it only a dream?

Stephen Dorff and Melissa George star as Ben and Hazel, along with Simon Delaney, Gavin O’Connor, Grace Farrell, and Aoibhinn McGinnity.

“You must control… you almost killed your daughter.” IFC Midnight has debuted the first official trailer for an indie possession horror titled Welcome to Mercy, from filmmaker Tommy Bertelsen. The story follows a single mother named Madaline who begins to experience symptoms of the stigmata, so she seeks the help of a local priest and nun to help her understand what is seen and unseen, and hopefully avoid becoming the new antichrist. She ends up at a remote covenant. Kristen Ruhlin stars and wrote the screenplay for this indie horror. It also features Lily Newmark, Eva Ariel Binder, Eileen Davies, Victoria Sokolova, Danis Grube, Toms Liepajnieks, Sophia Massa, and Ieva Seglina.

“So you want to learn to be Spider-Man?” Yessss! Sony Pictures has revealed another fantastic new trailer for their animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which seriously looks outstanding. Phil Lord & Chris Miller wrote the script and are producing this film, and they keep promising groundbreaking animation work in this. It really looks like it has that potential. Shameik Moore (from Dope) provides the voice of Miles Morales, and the cast includes Hailee Steinfeld, Liev Schreiber, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, Jake Johnson, Nicolas Cage, and Lily Tomlin, along with surprise guests. This looks like so much crazy fun, and I’m so happy they’re going full-Spidey by bringing in all the different version of the character. How crazy is that?! I’m so so excited to see this movie, only a few more months to go. Suit up! ›››
