It has been announced that a remake of F. W. Murnau's 1922 horror film, Nosferatu, is in the works. For those who are unaware of what Nosferatu is, it is essentially the story of Dracula except that the characters have different names because the studio was not able to get the rights to the novel. The silent film, despite being almost a century old, is widely considered one of the best horror movies of all time, ranking 3rd amongst Rotten Tomatoes' "Top 100 Horror Movies". What excites me about this film being remade is that it signals a return to what vampires are meant to be, which is terrifying monsters. In the past 10 years, there hasn't really been a good incarnation of any of the classic horror monsters (Dracula, Frankenstein, the Werewolf, etc.). In my eyes, the best vampire movie in recent years was 2007's 30 Days of Night, but it does not relate to Dracula and doesn't even mention the word "vampire" throughout the film. A remake of Nosferatu has the opportunity to terrify audiences in ways that films such as 1981's American Werewolf in London and 1931's Frankenstein did. No official release date has been announced yet but Robert Eggers, who won the 2015 directing prize at the Sundance Film Festival with his film The Witch, is set to write and direct the film.

Imagine that you could take the concepts of Final Destination and It Follows , blend them together and then aim the end product at millennials. Make that film PG-13 and you basically get Truth or Dare .

While Blumhouse is responsible for giving audiences some of the very best horror films of the decade ( Get Out , Hush and Sinister , among others), they have also put out films that are fun even if they aren’t very good. Truth or Dare falls somewhere within the latter. The film sees Lucy Hale as Olivia, a college student who embarks on the final Spring Break of her life as a student and takes a trip down to Mexico to celebrate. Joining her is her best friend,...
