My 2013 Fall Movie Preview continues with a trio of horror flicks. This year, so far, has been a pretty decent one box office wise for the genre with hits including The Conjuring and Mama mixed in with some duds such as You’re Next and Dark Skies.
This Friday (the 13th) brings us Insidious: Chapter 2, the follow-up to 2011’s surprise hit. Stars Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne return and the film looks likely to capitalize on the solid box office success of the original.
We’ve basically seen most 70s/80s horror classics remade over the past decade and the trend continues with Carrie. Instead of Sissy Spacek, we’ve got Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore plays the creepy mom in the role made famous by Piper Laurie. Like most of the recent remakes, this seems a little unnecessary but who knows? We could pleasantly surprised (I’m skeptical). It’s out October 18th.
Last and probably least is All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, which was actually shot in 2006 and stars Amber Heard. It’s already been seen at a number of film festivals and received mixed reviews. This is being distributed by the Weinstein Company in limited release and it doesn’t look to scare up too much business. It’s out (if you can find out) October 11th.
Interestingly, this will be the first late October season in a decade where we haven’t seen a Saw or Paranormal Activity movie. Instead, we get a flick that will probably be scary for others reasons: Jackass Presents Bad Grandpa
That’s all for now, friends! I’ll be back with plenty more autumn titles in short order.
