While films like Deadpool and Zoolander 2 are the big draws at the box office this weekend, there’s a good deal of new horror being offered up today for those who prefer to stay home and watch movies in their underwear. What could possibly be more romantic than that? Read on!
First up, Travis Zariwny’s remake of Cabin Fever is available in limited theaters and on VOD outlets today, courtesy of IFC Midnight. Anyone looking for a fresh take on a recent favorite will be disappointed to learn that a new script wasn’t even written, though new kills are promised.
Gage Golightly (“Teen Wolf”), Dustin Ingram (Paranormal Activity 3), Nadine Crocker, Matthew Daddario, and Samuel Davis star.
Synopsis:
Executive producer Eli Roth presents this reboot of his instant classic gorefest, which features all new characters and all new kills. This story is familiar: Fresh out of college, a group of five friends retreat to a remote cabin in the woods for one last week of partying – only to become snacks for a gruesome, flesh-eating virus. What’s surprising are the ingenious new deaths, which offer a fresh spin on a horror-comedy milestone.
Directed by brothers Chris and Ben Blaine, Nina Forever (review) has also arrived in select theaters and On Demand everywhere. It’s a twisted tale of romance, horror style, so if you’re looking for something to watch on Valentine’s Day, you need look no further than this delightful new gem.
The film stars Abigail Hardingham, Cian Barry, and Fiona O’Shaughnessy.
Synopsis:
A darkly comedic romantic horror story exploring love and grief, Nina Forever follows Holly as she begins a relationship with her co-worker Rob, who is grieving over the recent death of his girlfriend Nina from a motorcycle accident. Holly has fallen for Rob and is determined to help him though his grief. Yet, every time they make love, Nina appears… tangled, bloody, and still fixated on Rob. Holly doesn’t freak out and run – she can deal with the dead girl sharing their bed, their lives, their minds. If it’s what Rob needs, it’s what she’ll do, regardless of the consequences.
