OK, I’ll admit it: I couldn’t be happier that that the long-planned remake of the vamp classic Near Dark will not be happening any time soon. Producer Brad Fuller recently spoke with Empire magazine about the just-announced Twilight sequel, when Fuller brought up the remake, telling Empire, “Near Dark […]

Looks like next month’s Sundance Film Festival is offering four films that could accurately be labeled as “horror,” which isn’t a whole lot — but of course it’s all about quantity over quality.
