Hello everybody, I am Torstein from Cinema Terror and today I will be talking about the
upcoming horror movies we can expect to see in 2017.
There are only two days left of 2016, so most horror sites have released their best of lists
of this years horror films.
If you are into podcasts then I would recommend checking out the Shock Waves podcast where
they go through their best of lists, and just in general, check out Shock Waves, they are
awesome!
If you are familiar with my channel here on Youtube, then it shouldn't come as a surprise
that I won't do a best of list of 2016 yet as I don't focus all that much on the current
horror films.
I would like to say though that if I would put up a top three of the 2016 releases that
I have seen then I would put Train to Busan on top as it is an amazing film, perfect to
be watched on the big screen.
It has some scares, plenty of action and even a scene where I nearly teared up!
The Conjuring 2 was cool, a bit over the top at times, but that's to be expected after
the first one.
That one also had some tender moments and James Wan is really an amazing director that
I hope won't leave horror behind now that he has some other big projects going.
And finally I have to give some praise to The Autopsy of Jane Doe by Norwegian director
Andre Øvredal.
Great little horror film that I am happy to see that people seem to enjoy.
So!
Let's talk the new years and 2017!
I have a total of 35 movies to talk a bit about here, which was way more than what I
expected to cover when I started making this list.
Surely not all of these will see a release in the upcoming year, but I have made an attempt
to exclude movies that are still in pre-production or just looks unlikely to be released in 2017.
The funniest thing about making lists like these are that at the end of the year when
the best of 2017 lists have been created, we are bound to find movies that no one even
knows about yet.
That's how it works in this genre and I wouldn't want to have it any other way.
Well, since this will be a long video, I will just go right ahead and start talking about
the movies, which I have listed in alphabetical order as release dates are never to be trusted.
So here are some horror movies we can expect to see in 2017.
Alien: Covenant will be the sixth movie in
the Alien franchise, if you include the Prometheus movie and don't include the Alien vs Predator
movies, which in my opinion at least is a different beast all of its own.
Ridley Scott is continuing what he started with the original Alien movie and his prequel
Prometheus with this sequel that will bind those two movies together.
Even if Prometheus got a bit of a lukewarm reception, I thought it was a fun sci-fi film,
so I am curious to see how the story continues in Alien: Covenant, which will hit theaters
worldwide from 18th of May.
When the fuck are we getting Amityville: The
Awakening?
This film was supposed to be released in January of 2015 before getting postponed time and
time again.
The last release date we had for this Dimension Films, Miramax
and Blumhouse Production was January 6th of next year, but now it has, surprise surprise,
been postponed yet again!
The new date is now June 30th, but I wouldn't hold my breath for that to last either.
I don't really get it, as the trailer makes it look like a perfect type of horror movie
to be released back in 2015.
If they don't hurry up soon the film will be more dated than what it probably already
is.
What's sad about this is that this is the first Amityville movie I've been excited about
in years.
Yeah, it looks like it has the typical ghost jump scares that we have gotten used to the
last ten years, but this one actually looks like it was made by people who has seen the
original Amityville Horror movie.
And when you look at the credits you will see that it has been both written and directed
by Franck Khalfoun, who did the awesome Maniac remake with Elijah Wood.
So to all of you companies that control this movie, fucking release it next year will you?
I'm sorry, but I am unable to let any movie
with the Amityville name in it pass me by.
Even if it is a title as stupid as The Amityville Exorcism and it being directed by the guy
behind Holla If I Kill You, Camp Blood First Slaughter and Sharkenstein.
He also did another Amityville movie back last year called Amityville Death House, which
I will admit that I haven't gotten around to viewing yet.
The trailer looks crappy, but hey, at least it cannot be any worse than The Amityville
Haunting which came out a few years ago!
And as mentioned, I am in for any movie with the Amityville tag on it, regardless of what
quality it might be in.
Amityville Exorcism is slated to be released on VOD and home media sometime next year.
Hitting the theaters on August 11th is Annabelle
2, the sequel to the success Conjuring spinoff from 2014.
While I like The Conjuring movies, I did not care for the Annabelle standalone at all and
I can't say that I am excited about this one either.
It is directed by David F. Sandberg, who did this years Lights Out, so if that was a movie
you enjoyed, then you should make a mark on August 11th to go see Annabelle 2.
Since I did not care for either Lights Out or the first Annabelle, I'm likely gonna skip
this one.
The Bride is a Russian film that will be released
in its home country on January 19th.
This gothic story has a production budget of a little above 1 million dollars and the
trailer has enough good stuff in it to make me interested in seeing the final product,
whenever it will be available with English subtitles.
This is a film that I am going to guess many people haven't heard of, so make sure you
check the trailer for The Bride out.
If it intrigues you as much as it did me then we both have something fun to look forward
to from a country that isn't that known for its horror movie output.
The Bye Bye Man is a film that will hit theaters
on January 13th, and most likely it will make back its 6 million dollar production budget
on horror hungry teenagers, calmly awaiting their next jump scare galore that this surely
will be.
I did not care for the trailer of this at all and will not be watching this one unless
it gets some good reception by people that I trust the opinion of.
It is also worth noticing that The Bye Bye Man has a female director in Stacy Title,
who has worked in the horror genre before as she has the honor of being the director
of Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror from 2006.
Following the success of this years big shark
movie The Shallows, is an Australian movie called Cage Dive which will get a release
sometime next year.
While shark movies the last years has been dominated by ridiculous concepts such as Sharkando
and the likes, Cage Dive will try to do what The Shallows did in creating suspense instead
of laughter.
The trailer for the film is out and there is some nice shots in it, so if shark movies
are your thing then make sure you check out Cage Dive.
Yay, finally a new Children of the Corn movie
is about to be unleashed upon us.
This will be the tenth movie in this never dying franchise and this time the director
will be John Gulager, the guy behind the Feast trilogy and Piranha 3DD.
This franchise does the same for me as any movie with the Amityville tag on it, I know
I shouldn't, but I still can't help to watch them all.
There are hardly any details out regarding what this movie will be about, except that
it will involve children and corn of course, but then again, who cares.
It's Children of the Corn 10 for crying out loud...
Don Mancini has confirmed a few months ago
that he is working on the seventh Chucky movie.
The last film in the series, Curse of Chucky, went straight to VOD back in 2013 and I am
gonna guess that this will have the same fate.
I actually skipped the last one, but big fans of the killer doll should be happy to hear
that he will return once again and chances are high that it will be out before the next
year is over.
If you were in the crowd of those that disliked
the 2008 straight to video remake of George Romero's Day of the Dead from Steve Miner,
then you can clap your hands and make a happy face and eagerly anticipate another remake
of Day of the Dead, coming in 2017.
This remake seems a bit bigger with an estimated production budget of 10 million dollars.
This one is directed by the Spanish director Hector Hernandez Vicens, who previously has
done The Corpse of Anna Fritz.
I am more interested in watching that one instead of the remake, but for those who cannot
get enough of the undead walking the earth, then you got another one to look out for.
Oh, and they are bringing the Bub character back, so yeah.
There you go.
Death House has been called The Expendales
of the horror genre as this upcoming horror film has gathered together a group of horror
icons.
The impressive cast lists people like Adrienne Barbeau, Barbara Crampton, Brinke Stevens,
Lloyd Kaufman, Kane Hodder, Michael Berryman, Tony Todd and many, many more.
I might not be all that excited for it after seeing the trailer, but for big fans of these
guys then the film will surely be a experience.
Although the new Friday the 13th movie has
a release date in the upcoming October, it should be said that it has taken several years
now to get a new one underway, and this one hasn't started filming yet either.
The newest director attached to bring Jason Vorhees back to the big screen is Breck Eisner
who did The Last Witch Hunter and also The Crazies remake a few years back.
I still haven't gotten around to see the previous Platinum Dunes remake of Friday the 13th for
some reason, but I am happy to see that Jason is still around 35+ years since he first jumped
out of the water in the first film, so I'm marking October 13th for this one.
There's been plans to bring Stephen King's
Gerald's Game to the big screen for years and now it finally looks like we will actually
get a movie based on the legendary writer's 1992 novel.
Netflix is bringing the project to life and has Mike Flanagan attached to direct it.
Flanagan has had a good 2016 with both Hush and Oculus: Origin of Evil getting good receptions,
and he has described this project as a dream project of his, so Gerald's Game will surely
be something to look forward to.
Get Out is a new Blumhouse Production film
that they are hoping will hit theaters on February 24th.
It looks like an interesting film that blends social commentary and horror and considering
the political climate in the US these days, I am guessing we're going to get more horror
films that speaks more on what is going on in society in the upcoming years.
While the story looks interesting, I have to say that the trailer annoyed me in that
it basically told an entire story.
Hopefully, comedian turned first time director Jordan Peele still has a few tricks up his
sleeve.
Ah how great, another Hellraiser movie!
Some franchises just refuse to die, don't they?
And since it will probably be your first question, no Doug Bradley is not back as Pinhead and
they are not leaving the character alone as he will take part in this new film.
Hellraiser: Judgment will be the tenth movie in the Hellraiser saga and it is written and
directed by Gary J. Tunnicliffe, a guy who has done plenty of work on horror movies over
the years and he was also involved with the previous Hellraiser movie, Hellraiser: Revelations
from 2011 as he did both some makeup effect work and created the story for the film.
Considering how terrible that one was, I don't have high hopes for this one to be honest,
but who knows.
You should never dismiss a movie before it's out I guess... but what is up with the mispelling
of Judgment in the title?
I Spit on Your Grave: Deja Vu is an interesting
one.
Apparantly this is ignoring the newer remake trilogy and instead is a direct sequel to
the original and infamous rape revenge movie I Spit on Your Grave from 1978.
Not only that, but it also brings back original director Meir Zarchi, who hasn't directed
a film since 1985 when he released Don't Mess With My Sister.
Zarchi is united once again with the star of the original film, Camille Keaton, who
will reprise her role as Jennifer Hills who has written a best selling book regarding
the torture she went through.
Some relatives of the original trio of demented fuckheads gets mad at her for this and sets
out to bring more torture upon her.
It sounds like an insane plot for a sequel nearly fourty years later!
The film is apparantly completed, but little news of it has hit the net this year regarding
a release date, but if the footage is shot then there should only be time before we get
this very unsual sequel.
On October 20th the fourth Insidious film
will hit theaters worldwide, and personally this is probably my most anticipated movie
of 2017.
I have a fondness for the Insidious series, especially due to the sequel being one of
the best horror movies out there the last ten years.
While the third film wasn't the greatest thing ever, I still believe that the franchise has
potential to bring out more great movies.
Lin Shaye is returning yet again as Elise and the story is supposed to follow directly
from the third film.
Adam Robitel is getting the chance to direct this one and coming off the well received
The Taking of Deborah Logan from last year, there should be enough potential here to scare
audienced worldwide yet again.
2017 looks like it will be a fun year for
fans of Stephen King, well, depending on how you feel about this one.
On September 8th the remake of It will go into cinemas.
The 1990 miniseries has some loyal fans that will dislike the new film no matter how good
it might end up becoming.That's just the way it is when it comes to remakes.
I love the miniseries and aren't all that jazzed about a new version of Pennywise coming
out myself, but I absolutely understand the idea of bringing the character back to a new
audience.
I must say that I am curious about what this film will be and are looking forward to seeing
the trailer for it, whenever it drops.
Juleblod is a new Norwegian christmas horror
movie that will be released in November, atleast in this country.
Juleblod can be translated into Christmas Blood, and this is directed by Reinert Kill
who has become a prominent b-movie filmmaker in this country.
I am not a fan of his stuff at all, but I am happy to see a Norwegian filmmaker being
able to create the stuff he wants in this country.
Fans of his films should be excited about this and fans of christmas horror in general
can look forward to a new film I am guessing will be filled with rough violence, nudity
and all the other stuff that exploitation fans love.
Koduko: Meatball Machine is the sequel to
the Japanese splatter movie Meatball Machine from 2005.
The director this time around is Yoshihiro Nishimura, who is very familiar with the crazy
insane Japanese splattergenre as he is the director of stuff like Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein
Girl, Mutant Girl Squad and of course Tokyo Gore Police.
The trailer for this film is bonkers, as expected, so fans of this type of Japanese cinema should
have something to look forward to.
So, we're getting a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre
movie.
Leatherface will give the focus on...
Leatherface when he was a young teenager.
He kidnaps a young nurse and then escapes from a mental hospital together with three
other inmates and takes her on a road trip.
I haven't even seen the last Texas Chainsaw movie, simply titled Texas Chainsaw 3D from
2013 as I haven't been excited for this franchise in quite a long time.
The interesting part of this new one however is that it is being directed by the French
duo Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury.
They broke out big time with their 2007 movie Inside.
They have followed that one up with Livid in 2011 and Among the Living in 2013, both
with a lukewarm reception, before now getting their United States debut on the Texas Chainsaw
franchise.
The film is supposedly completed several months ago, so hopefully a trailer and release date
will pop up soon for Leatherface.
If you mention the idea of having a cinematic
universe, chances are high that people will associate the term with the Marvel Cinematic
Universe.
What many might not realise though is that the good old Universal monster movies did
this over 75 years ago with their beloved characters of Frankenstein, the Mummy, Dracula
and many more.
They are attempting to reboot this universe these days with Tom Cruise starring in a new
Mummy movie.
And before the one guy out there screams "what about Dracula Untold?", it has been confirmed
that they are not considering that to be a part of the new universe anymore.
The new Mummy movie will hit cinemas June 9th, surely with a big marketing campaign
behind it.
The first trailer for the film is out and... it looks more action than horror, but I guess
we shouldn't be surprised at that to be honest.
I am sure it will be a big spectacle though, so look out for it and if it is successful
then we will get more characters back from the past, and that's a good thing.
Back in 2015, Tom Savini and Umberto Lenzi
teamed up to make an Indiegogo campaign to secure enough funds to create a remake of
Lenzi's 1980 b-movie classic Nightmare City.
They got more than the 100,000 dollars that they asked for, but due to different reasons,
the filming hasn't started yet, but are scheduled to be done during spring of next year.
If we are lucky, then a final product might be out before the end of the year, although
I wouldn't count on it to be honest.
It should be funny to see how this project will turn out even if I am not a huge fan
of the original film by Lenzi, so color me semi-intrigued!
Polaroid is a co-production between Norwegian
and American production companies and I see that Dimension Films are involved on this
one.
It is based on a short film about a polaroid camera that captures more than just pictures.
It is not a unique story as we've seen plenty of this stuff in j-horror, especially during
it's golden age in the early 2000's.
What sets this apart I guess is that it is in fact directed by a Norwegian.
Lars Klevberg did the short film and will be doing the feature film as well, and seeing
a movie like this within Norwegian settings should be interesting.
I've seen the short and it was enough to make me want to check this one out.
It is slated with a release in August, but hasn't started filming yet, so who knows for
sure when this will be released.
Puppet Master: Axis Termination started as
an Indiegogo campaign by Full Moon leader Charles Band.
The production has had some delays but are now slated to be finalized and released in
April.
This one promises to be the final part of the Axis trilogy, which includes the two previous
films Puppet Master: Axis of Evil from 2010 and Puppet Master: Axis Rising from 2012.
This is the eleventh movie in the Puppet Master series, if you ignore the spinoffs and while
I haven't catched on to the last few ones yet, this is another franchise that I am just
happy lives on.
Raw is a film that has gained some good buzz
during its festival run this year and will be unleashed upon us regular movie goers on
March 10th.
I've tried to avoid reading much about the plot so I only know that it is supposed to
have cannibalism and a vegetarian character in it.
Oh, and it is supposed to be very disturbing.
Some who has seen it has said that they would have put it on the top of the best of 2016
list if it had gotten a release this year, so here's hoping that this will be a new classic
from the great people of France!
On February 7th we are finally(?) getting
a new Re-Animator movie.
First off...
Re-Animator: Evolution will NOT feature Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West as the character
has been recast with actor Johnathon Schaech filling in the role instead.
According to director Serge Levin, this will not be a continuation, but rather a modern
re-telling.
I can't say that the idea of a Re-Animator movie without Combs is a good one, so I am
wary of how this one will turn out.
The release date is set early in February, but considering there aren't even any trailer
out, I am guessing that it will be postponed and released later in the year instead.
Late in January we are getting what is promised
to be the final entry to the Resident Evil franchise.
The Final Chapter, oh if we all had a dollar for each time a movie called The Final Chapter
would not end up being the final movie in the franchise... we would have at least five
bucks.
This will be the sixth movie in the franchise and it is directed by Paul Anderson, who you
can call the father of this franchise as he has now directed four out of the six movies.
I've only seen the first one and didn't care that much for it, so this one ain't made for
me, but for fans of the franchise I am sure this will be an anticipated flick.
Finally it looks like we will be getting the
second Return to Nuke 'Em High movie as the now titled Return to Return to Nuke 'Em High
aka Vol. 2 will have its premiere in New York on January 15th and hopefully it will be made
available to the rest of us not too long after that.
I enjoyed the 2013 Return to Nuke 'Em High and I will always be curious to see new Lloyd
Kaufman directed films, so my toxic juices are bubbling fulltime for Return to Return
to Nuke 'Em High aka Vol 2.
The Ring franchise is returning with Rings
in cinemas worldwide in the early days of February.
This is a big production with a budget of over 30 million dollars and it's initial release
was supposed to happen during October of this year.
It is never a good sign that a horror film is being pushed back and given a February
release, but there is always exceptions to the rule so who knows.
Personally, I haven't cared much for any of the American versions of J-Horror films anyway,
so I will probably pass up on Rings.
Do you miss the era of torture films that
the Saw franchise kickstarted?
Wait no more as the eight Saw movie, Saw: Legacy is hitting theaters worldwide in the
upcoming October.
Little is known so far regarding the story of this one, but more torture and puzzles
is surely to be expected.
The directors behind this one are the brothers Michael and Peter Spierig.
They have done a few movies before this, with the 2009 Daybreakers being the only one I
am familiar with.
It is rumoured, but not confirmed that Tobin Bell will return as Jigsaw, but I would be
surprised if he doesn't at least pop up once or twice in the film.
Can't have a new year without a new Sharkado
movie!
Just for the fun of it, I hope they never stop making these films.
I haven't seen any of them after Sharknado 1, but the idea of these living on is enough
for me to put this one in this video.
Tara Reid is back as April Wexler, a character that apparantly has lived through all the
four previous Sharnado's and I just now realized that all of them even have the same director
in Anthony C. Ferrante.
If there one day is a box set of ten Sharknado movies then I will be all over it.
While Sharknado 5...
Earth 0 doesn't have a release date yet, I am gonna guess that it will be premiering
on the Syfy channel during the summertime.
M. Night Shyamalan is back in the end of January
with a new film called Split.
He experienced good reception with last years The Visit, which I must say I haven't seen
yet.
The trailer for this new one looks interesting enough, although it is probably not for me
to be honest.
Fans of the guy though should be happy to see that he seem to be back on his a-game
these days and Split will hopefully not disappoint them.
So the Suspiria remake is currently filming...
This is a remake that I have no interest in at all as I love Dario Argento's Suspiria
and can't see a single reason for why this one should be remade, except that it hopefully
gives Argento some well deserved money for it.
And in a perfect world, this might make somebody new check out the original or something.
The director of the remake is actually also an Italian as the job has been given to Luca
Guadagnino, a guy who has made 20+ movies that I have never seen or heard much about,
none of them being horror films by the way, not that that's necessary a bad thing.
So yeah, Suspiria remake, it's coming I guess.
XX is a new anthology film that will get a
limited theatrical run and a video on demand release on February 17th.
XX will feature four tales, all being told by female filmmakers that are mostly unknown
to me, except Karyn Kusama who has just come off The Invitation and also did Jennifer's
Body in 2009 and the box office flop Æon Flux in 2005.
I don't really care about the gender of whoever is creating the film I'm watching, but considering
how few female directors there are out there, it is nice to see a project like this come
to light.
So there you have it.
Hopefully some of these will be new to you and get your interest going for the new year.
If you know about any other horror movie coming out in 2017 that I haven't covered, then let
me know about it in the comment section below.
