Event Horizon TV Show in development at Amazon
Too often we harangue Hollywood when it comes remakes/reboots but once in a while there is a project that is perfect for a reboot, Event Horizon is that film. Directed by Paul W.S Anderson and written by Philip Eisner, it was released in 1997 and was a commerical and critical failure upon its release. It only made $26 million from a budget of $60 million but like many cult films found its audience on DVD, so much so that the studio asked Anderson to put together a direcors cut, unfortunately during this process they found that much of the original footage had not been stored correctly and is was either missing or unusable.

Scary Disney: Robin Hood: The Sheriff, The Prince, Sir Hiss, The Jailbreak and The Fire
Robin Hood, the tale of the famous outlaw who fights the taxes of Prince John and wins the hand of his childhood sweetheart Maid Marion. Disney made this classic with animals telling the story and did a fantastic job of it. Alan-a-dale, a rooster, opens the story telling the audience of two outlaws, Robin Hood, a fox, and Little John, a bear, who rob from the rich to give to the poor. The Sheriff of Nottingham, a wolf, tries to stop them. One day Prince John hosts an archery tournament so Robin Hood dresses as a stork, he wins and gets a kiss from Maid Marion. Prince John however sees through his disguise and has him arrested, a fight breaks out, Robin Hood, Little John and all of the townsfolk escape. Later on, Prince John overhears Sir Hiss and The Sheriff singing, ‘The Phony King of England,’ outraged by this he triples the taxes and has most of the townspeople in jail because they can’t pay it. Prince John orders for Friar Tuck, one of Robin’s companions, to be hung at dawn so Robin would show himself. Robin and Little John plan a jailbreak and break all of the townsfolk out of jail. During the raid Prince Johns castle catches fire, a fight breaks out and Robin escapes in the nick of time. King Richard returns to England and arrests his own brother Prince John, Sir Hiss and The Sheriff. He allows Robin and Maid Marion to marry giving him, ‘an outlaw for an in-law.’ Disney made this a fantastic movie with some classic songs and some great characters we’d never forget and a few scenes to give us nightmares for years to come.

Horror Review: Wounds
Wounds was released in Autumn last year and follows an excruciatingly unlikable bartender as he gets enthralled in a disturbing mystery that begins to unfold when he takes home a mobile phone left in the bar that he works at. The hour and 30 minute movie was directed by Babak Anvari and stars Armie Hammer, Zazie Beetz and Dakota Johnson as the main cast members whose characters are involved in a weak love triangle.
