Rattlesnake follows Katrina (Carmen Ejogo), a single mother driving cross country to start a new life with her young daughter Clara (Apollonia Pratt) when their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere.

Netflix Taking Us On Nightmare Vacation In New Series “The I-Land”

Kate Bosworth and Natalie Martinez take a trip to Netflix’s “The I-Land” this September. The first teaser welcomes you to “The I-Land“, coming off like a horror version of “Lost.” The mysterious new event series follows ten people who wake up on a treacherous island with no memory of how they arrived. As they et off to find a way back home, they soon discover this world is not as it seems. Faced with the island’s extreme psychological and physical challenges, they must become their better selves or die as their worst. Rumor has it that the series was inspired by the disastrous Fyre Festival 2017 music festival held on a remote island. When attendees showed up they found tents, little food and no concert featuring big-name musicians. Alex Pettyfer, Ronald Peet, Kota Eberhardt, Kyle Schmid, Sibylla Deen, Giles Geary, Anthony Lee Medina, and Michele Veintimilla also star. The seven-episode event premieres on Netflix on September 12, 2019.

‘Bird Box’ Monster Revealed

One of the most talked about series of the season is Netflix’s Bird Box. While we never see the monsters in the film, we almost did. You see, there was a deleted scene that revealed the monsters. Star Sandra Bullock described the creature as being a “green man with a horrific baby face.” On Instagram, special effects artist Andy Bergholtz and the effects company SFX Atlas recently shared some photos of the creature that would have been revealed in the deleted scene. We had the unique pleasure of designing a creepy makeup for the film, although the scene ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor. Keep in mind, the fatal “vision” that each character saw would most likely be different for each person (you’ll understand if you’ve seen the film), and this makeup appeared in a cut “dream/nightmare sequence” with Sandra Bullock’s character.Considering her pregnant state and emotional arc thru the movie, the producers felt Sandra’s nightmare would have
