Karyn Kusama Says Her Dracula Adaptation Will Capture Some of the Mystery of the Original Novel

Despite being the originator of the most popular vampire story of the past 100 or so years, Bram Stoker’s Dracula is incredibly restrained with its vampire nastiness. Dracula, in the novel, is a specter, a mystery, an intriguing incitement to delve deeper into dark horrors that unfold slowly. Karyn Kusama, who is taking on a…

10 Decent Movies That Were Doomed by Unfair Memes

Sometimes a movie sparks everybody’s imagination months before it comes out.

Did Stupid Marketing Kill “Jennifer’s Body”?

Jennifer’s Body may not be an artistic masterpiece, but it’s a smart, fun horror movie with a big star. It was a cut above the usual B-grade horror fare.
