Dark Comedy-Thriller ‘The Estate’ Slashing Its Way Into Theaters & Onto VOD

Director James Kapner makes his feature debut with The Estate, part dark comedy, part thriller, which reminds us that family reunions can be brutal. In the film, when a narcissistic son (Chris Baker), yearning for a life of luxury, and his father’s erratic gold-digging wife (Eliza Coupe) decide to kill their way into their inheritance, they employ the help of an absurdly handsome, mysterious hitman (Greg Finley), initiating a psychosexual love triangle that spirals into more than anyone bargained for. Deftly balancing sharp humor and horror, The Estate delivers a perfectly campy, wildly enjoyable thrill ride that packs a deadly punch. Written by Chris Baker, The Estate also stars Eliza Coupe, Chris Baker, Lala Kent, Heather Matazarro, and Eric Roberts. The Estate debuts in theaters and VOD on October 22, 2021, from Vertical Entertainment.

‘Candyman’ Is Out Now On Demand

Oscar® winner Jordan Peele unleashes a fresh take on the blood-chilling urban legend of Candyman. Directed by Nia DaCosta (Little Woods, upcoming Captain Marvel 2), who breathes new life into the classic horror franchise with the movie that is out now On Demand. “For as long as residents can remember, the housing projects of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green neighborhood were terrorized by a word-of-mouth ghost story about a supernatural killer with a hook for a hand, easily summoned by those daring to repeat his name five times into a mirror. In the present day, a decade after the last of the Cabrini towers were torn down, visual artist Anthony McCoy (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II; HBO’s “Watchmen”, Us) and his partner, gallery director Brianna Cartwright (Teyonah Parris; If Beale Street Could Talk, The Photograph), move into a luxury loft condo in Cabrini, now gentrified beyond recognition and inhabited by upwardly mobile millennials.

‘Halloween Kills’ Is Getting A Same Day Theatrical And Streaming Release

Universal has now announced that Halloween Kills will now be a theatrical day-and-date premiere, meaning that on October 15, 2021, the second installment of David Gordon Green‘s trilogy will open in theaters and arrive on Peacock the same day.

From director James Suttles (The Evil Inside Her) comes the entomophobia-inducing film The Nest (aka The Bewailing), starring scream queen Dee Wallace (Cujo, The Howling).

True Crime Movie ‘American Boogeyman’ Receives A Summer Release Date

Voltage Pictures has scored the rights to American Boogeyman, the untold story of the detective and rookie FBI profiler that hunted Ted Bundy. Daniel Farrands (Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers) both wrote and directs American Boogeyman starring Chad Michael Murray (House of Wax) as the infamous serial killer. “Set in a gritty and decadent 1970s America, American Boogeyman follows the elusive and charming killer and the manhunt that brought him to justice involving the detective and the FBI rookie who coined the phrase “serial killer.” Ted Bundy is such a fascinatedly divisive character and is the true personification of evil,” said Voltage Pictures president and COO Jonathan Deckter.“Murray is so talented and expertly captures Bundy’s charm and seductive nature, traits that the notorious killer exploited to win the trust of his victims as well as society. It’s fantastic to continue working with the very gifted Lucas and Dan on this feature and bring engaging narratives to the screen.” Lin
