Sam Raimi’s Next Film, ‘You’re Dead Helene’ Is A Paranormal Rom Com

Any time we hear that Sam Raimi is producing a project we get excited, the man knows what he’s doing. From Evil Dead to Crawl, to Don’t Breathe, and Spider-Man, Raimi never fails to impress. Now, news has come that his next project is You’re Dead Helene, a paranormal rom-com. You’re Dead Helene is from writer-director Michael Blanchart who also directed the short film of the same name that won the Oscar-qualifying Grand Prize at the Rhode Island International Film Festival.

Movie Review: Into The Dark: Down (2019)

They spend their time getting to learn about each other and try to make the best of their time trapped in that beastly box…but unfortunately, that is about all of a sinister synopsis as I can give without spoiling things, outside of saying things go dark along the way…and what with this being a horror series and all that should come as no surprise… Directed by Daniel Stamm and
