Horror Movies That Reflect Society Today

Recently, some well-crafted horror movies are released, which stand out in all aspects, including storytelling, premises, and character development. The older horror films also have great content, and that can predict some of the things that people would be worried about in 2020. This article will list down some of the horror films that can predict today’s society.

A Nightmare On Elm Street (1984)

A Nightmare On Elm Street is a franchise of horror, but the first movie was the best one. It is an American slasher film and was released in 1984. The movie was written by Wes Craven and produced by Robert Shaye. It stars Heather Langenkamp, Robert Englund, Johnny Depp, John Saxon, and Ronee Blakley. The plot starts with Tina Gray waking up from a nightmare, where she is chased by a man in a boiler room with a blade-fixed glove. The next morning, Tina was consoled by her best friend, Nancy, and Glen. But Tina’s boyfriend, Rod, interrupts their sleepover. When Tina fell asleep, she again witnessed the same nightmare. The next morning Nancy’s father arrests Rod, despite his innocence.

A Nightmare On Elm Street depicts a group of parents terrified by a pedophile named Freddy Kreuger. And they are ready to do anything to protect their kid. The plot of the story is very relevant in today’s society. Parents always keep their eyes on their children, especially when online, as online could be very dangerous if not used cautiously.

Halloween (1978)

Halloween is an American slasher movie directed by John Carpenter, who also co-wrote the screenplay with producer Debra Hill. The film’s plot revolves around the person with a mental health condition who had murdered his teenage sister on Halloween night when he was just six years old. After fifteen years, he returns to his hometown and stalks a female babysitter and her friend. Jamie Lee Curtis played the character of a female babysitter.

The movie is incredible and well suited to today’s “stranger danger” concept. The film did a gross collection of $70 million. Another sequel of the franchise is scheduled to release on 15 October 2021.

Candyman (1992)

Candyman is an American horror movie directed and written by Bernard Rose. The story is based on the short story titled The Forbidden, written by Clive Barker. The film’s plot follows a student in Chicago and completing a thesis on Urban Legends, which leads her to a ghost of an artist and slave named “Candyman.” He was murdered in the 19th century for his relationship with the daughter of a painter because it was forbidden for a slave’s son to love a white woman.

Candyman was released on 16 October 1992 by PolyGram Filmed Entertainment and TriStar Pictures. The film collected a gross of $25 million in the United States. It received an average score of 61 out of 100 based on 15 critics on Metacritic. On CinemaScore, audiences gave an average grade of “C+” on an A+ scale to F.

After twenty-one years, the counselor of Camp Crystal Lake is driven to open the place; she was warned that the place is badly reputed for a boy drawing in the crystal lake. Later, an unseen person slashed her throat after chasing her in the woods.

People always worry about teens partying and having sex, especially in summer camps, without any supervision. And the way the teens treated Jason Voorhees was heartbreaking. Although, no one has any sympathy towards Voorhees for killing so many people.

The Silence Of The Lambs (1991)

The Silence of the Lambs is an American psychological horror screenplay written by Ted Tally and directed by Jonathan Demme. The story is adapted from a novel of the same name written by author Thomas Harris’. The movie stars Jodie Foster, a young FBI trainee named Clarice Starling.

The film’s plot starts with an FBI agent, Clarice Starling, who completed her training from Quantico, Virginia FBI Academy. She is assigned to interview a cannibalistic serial killer, whose insight could be useful in the case of psychopath serial killer, “Buffalo Bill.” Buffalo Bill used to kill young women and remove their skin.

The movie created fascination about serial killers and crime in general. Many shows and series are exploring the same genre.

Black Christmas (1974)

Thor 4 Theory: How Lady Sif Can Return in Love & Thunder

Thor is one of the best movie series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The role of Thor was played by the famous Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth. Thor is known to be the God of Thunder according to the Marvel comics. The movie Thor has three parts so far. The fourth part is in works these days and is expected to release in early 2021.

Thor is a key character in another of Marvel’s super-hit series Avengers. People love to see Thor fighting and using his hammer that cannot be lifted by anyone else except Thor. However, in the last part Thor: Ragnarok, we noticed that the hammer of Thor could be lifted by a woman named Hela also, who was Thor’s sister and known to be the Goddess of Death. She played the role of a villain in the last part of Thor. According to the first part of this movie, Thor started loving Natalie Portman, who was opposite Thor as Jane Foster.

Lady Sif is an Asgardian warrior and shares a great friendship-bond with Thor. The actress Jaimie Alexander is playing the role of Sif in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thor ended up powerless on Earth after involving in a war with Frost Giants. Later, Sif disobeyed the order of their new king Loki and went to Earth along with her friends to save Thor. Lady Sif was last seen in the film, Thor: The Dark World. It is believed that she can return in the upcoming Thor: Love & Thunder.

Lady Sif Can Setup Jane Foster’s Arrival As The New Thor

The famous Hollywood actress Natalie Portman is playing the role of Jane Foster in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thor was last seen to us while departing for the final frontier with the Guardians of the Galaxy, however, it is unimaginable to consider the role of the Guardians in the film, Thor: Love & Thunder. Jane Foster could play the role of new Thor in the upcoming Love & Thunder. Lady Sif is the key character as she was absent and looking for Thor when Asgard fell to Hela. Lady Sif could find the new Thor – Jane Foster and could continue to find the original Thor to inform him about the new Thor. This can bring back both Thor and Sif to the new Thor from wherever she is operating.

Lady Sif & Thor Will Return To New Asgard Together

Tessa Thompson is playing the role of Valkyrie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It is confirmed that Thompson is returning in Thor: Love & Thunder. After the events of Avengers: Endgame, Valkyrie is now the new leader of the remaining Asgardians, who are residing in New Asgard on Earth. There is a possibility that Thor can return to New Asgard along with Lady Sif to interact with Valkyrie.

When Asgard was destroyed by the attacks of Hela, and later by Thanos, Lady Sif was not present to help her people. It is also possible that this guilt may force Sif to return to the New Asgard along with the original Thor and the new Thor – Jane Foster.

Lady Sif Could Become Valkyrie’s Queen In Thor 4

At the end of the film, Avengers: Endgame, Valkyrie was offered to choose either becoming or selecting a regent for the New Asgard. Therefore, it is still a mystery who will become the queen of Valkyrie. In an interview, Jaimie Alexander, who is playing the role of Lady Sif, has mentioned that she would enjoy becoming queen of Asgard. It is also possible that Lady Sif could return to his love interest – Thor. It would be a great scene to watch Thor facing all of his romantic parts, Jane Foster, Valkyrie, and Lady Sif.

After exploring all the details related to Lady Sif’s past life connection with Thor and Valkyrie, we have concluded that there are possible chances of returning Lady Sif in the upcoming Thor: Love & Thunder. Also, the face to face interactions between Lady Sif, Valkyrie, Thor, and Jane Foster will be the best scene of the film, if it happens.

Movies to Watch If You Like Gossip Girls

Gossip Girls, a teen drama premiered in 2007 on The CW, ran for six winning seasons until 2012. The show features a group of mostly elite teenagers and their complicated families as they grow on the Upper East Side of New York City. Just as the name suggests, the show goes about everything from scandal, to love, and conflicts.

 You can binge on all the six seasons on Netflix. And just in case you want something to watch in-between seasons, here are some movies that you will adore if you can’t get enough of Blair and her friends.

Mean Girls

From the very beginning of the series, it is made clear that Blaire being Queen B and her friends, aka followers, eat lunch gossiping on the steps of The Met. This is portrayed as a status symbol, if you are invited to eat on those steps with these girls, that means you are in.

This movie of 2004 named Mean Girls holds a lot of similarities to the teen drama, with lunch table status being one of that.

The Devil Wears Prada

One of the standouts about Gossip Girl is watching all the high-end designer clothing slain by the cast in each episode. Every scene flaunts expensive dresses and sharply tailored suits by top designers in the fashion industry.

The Devil Wears Prada is another brilliant movie that is all things clothes, bags, and shoes starring Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, and Emily Blunt.

Easy A

 Gossip Girl is an online, anonymous blog that spreads all the rumors as the series progresses, the spicy talks get even messier. 

So, for the viewers who love good rumors, Easy A, is a must-watch. The film talks about Olive, a girl struggling with her own school’s rumor mill, just as you see in Gossip Girls.

What To Expect When You’re Expecting

The series Gossip Girls is not just about some mean girls. It is about some heart-throbbing guys as well. One of which is Nate, the rich kid with a big heart. He is best friends with the wrong guy Chuck Bass but is nothing like him.

If you admire Nate played by Chace Crawford in Gossip Girls, you would love the warmth he brings to his character, Marco, in the film What to Expect When You’re Expecting. 

A Walk To Remember

If you watched all the six episodes of Gossip Girl waiting for the day when all of the personalities would put down all the drama and live happily ever after, then you must watch the movie A Walk to Remember.

Based on Nicholas Sparks’ bestseller, this movie tells the story of two teenagers who fall in love despite their differences.

Breakfast At Tiffany’s

If you like Blair’s mixed personality traits of being domineering, manipulative, and at the same time being sensitive and compassionate for her friends. You would love to watch this film named Breakfast At Tiffany’s set in the 1960s. 

The character of Audrey Hepburn in the movie takes a lot of cues from Queen B. We hope you will enjoy binging on to these equally famous and dramatic movies as the show Gossip Girl is.

Tenet Tickets Go On Sale For Early Screening This Friday

 The upcoming movie of Christopher Nolan, Tenet, is finally released on the big screen. The tickets of the movie will reportedly go on for sale this Friday. Christopher Edward Nolan is a British-American director, famous for his distinctive films. He got 34 Oscar nominations and won ten among them. Nolan is one of the best filmmakers in Hollywood, and his mystery project Tenet has created much hype around it. The film starred Robert Pattinson and John David Washington. Although the plot is still unknown, the exciting trailer has built up anticipation among the audiences.

Tenet is a spy film produced and directed by Christopher Nolan. Nolan took over five years to write the screenplay of the film. The release of the film, though, got delayed three times due to the pandemic COVID-19. It is finally releasing on 26th August 2020 in the United Kingdom, and on 3rd September 2020 in the United States. The central characters of the film Pattinson, Washington, and Debicki, shared that they were only allowed to read the script while locked in a room. So one can imagine the secrecy level of the script. The audiences are just guessing what the movie would be all about through its posters and the trailers. All the posters have the same tagline, “Time runs out,” which only gives us the idea that the theme would be related to time inversion.

Initially, Nolan’s blockbuster was scheduled to be released much earlier and delayed several times. Warner Bros. and Nolan decided to release the film on a big screen on 17th July 2020. Still, the release date got postponed for an indefinite time. But now it is finally coming out, and the tickets are finally going on sale. According to IndieWire, Warner Bros. has planned to roll out Tenet for a sneak peek showings domestically for three days. The tickets for this special screening will be on sale for this Friday. The screening is scheduled for 21st August. Those who are willing to watch Tenet in theaters can get tickets on the Thursday sale on 27th August. The theaters have also made a deal with Warner Bros. regarding the distributed screen for the movie. The production studio will take 63% of the total ticket sale, and the theaters with more than nine screens have to put the show on screen for 12 weeks.

The release of the tickets domestically is also one step towards ensuring that the movie is finally coming. Tenet is on international sales, and the results of the shows in the UK are promising. The film is expected to be one of the blockbusters of the year. The release of the film will finally tell us how financially successful it will be. However, it is yet not known how the box office collection would look like after coronavirus. There is a decent chance that the studio could lose its money for the movie release, as it is a big step to keep theaters alive in this challenging time.

Spider-Man: Far From Home – 10 Hidden Details You Didn’t Know About The Main Characters

 Spider-Man: Far From Home is a superhero film of the Marvel Cinematic Universe based on the Marvel comics. It is directed by Jon Watts and released in 2019. This film was a blockbuster and a sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming. The famous Hollywood actor Tom Holland is playing the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in this film.

The story of the movie tells us that Peter Parker is a senior high-school student. He is also a part of the team Avengers. Peter is known as Spider-Man because of his spider-like capabilities. He felt these abilities after being bitten by a radioactive spider. Peter can create or throw a web, crawl on the walls, and can swing in the air with the help of his rope-like web. In this film, Peter wants to get rid of his Spider-Man life and get his everyday teenage life back, but soon he realizes that it is impossible for him.

Here we will discuss ten hidden details you didn’t know about the main characters.

MJ’s Sweatshirt

Zendaya plays the character of MJ in the film. Here MJ does not stand for ‘Mary Jane,’ but it stands for ‘Michelle Jones.’ In the movie, she is wearing a cardigan, and a tiger is printed on it, which does not go with her image in the film. She would have some resemblance to Mary Jane instead of being a purposeless character.

Peter’s Suitcase Is Uncle Ben’s

In the first part of the Spider-Man trilogy, which was released in 2002, Peter’s beloved uncle Ben was murdered, and that had become the prime reason for the origin of Spider-Man as a superhero. Peter has brilliantly carried his uncle’s suitcase in all the recent movies of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His suitcase has ‘B.F.P’ printed on its front side. B.F.P stands for Benjamin Franklin Parker.

Mysterio’s Lurking

The character role of Mysterio is played by the actor Jake Gyllenhaal. He is a supervillain and the enemy of Spider-Man. He is seen in a Mysterio costume or mo-cap suit in the film, but there is a single scene in which he wears a Hawaii shirt and is standing in the background to scope out Peter Parker.

The Amazing Spider-Man #143

Spider-Man and MJ share a kiss at the end of the film. According to the comics, It is their first kiss. Spider-Man is not hanging down and does nothing spectacular. There is a license plate nearby – “ASM143”, which stands for “Amazing Spider-Man #143”.

Brad Davis Debuted In AMS #188

When Brad Davis was a kid, he did not return to his classes at Midtown. According to Ned, Now Brad has grown-up and is very popular among the girls. According to the comics, Brad played a perfect role, and he was also attracted to MJ.

Who Is Talos And Who Is Fury?

Nick Fury was seen as a happy and optimistic boy, and that was exactly opposite to the character Nick played in other MCU movies. This is because Fury thought to relax for some time on a Skrull ship before starting work. Meanwhile, Talos was posing as Nick. So, according to the fans, it is vice-versa for both Talos and Nick Fury.

E.D.I.T.H

E.D.I.T.H was a kind of sunglasses, which was given to Spider-Man by Tony Stark. Peter also made a suit for himself and which clears the mindset that MCU wants Peter Parker to take his rightful place.

Ned And Betty’s Tragic Tale

Ned Leeds and Betty Brant were in a relationship, but they were not in their relationship and kept on breaking up with each other and then patching up again. Betty once dated Peter also but became the target of Sin-Eater. Ned was hypnotized to become a villain. However, it did not happen.

Jonah And Peter’s Identity

J.K. Simmons played a small cameo role in the film Spider-Man: Far From Home. In his small cameo, he was seen telling the world that Peter is Spider-Man. Simmons played the role of John Jonah Jameson in all the three Spider-Man movies of Sam Raimi.

Aunt May Likes It

Peter’s dead old Aunt May did not know the truth about his Peter Parker for years. She did not know that Peter Parker is Spider-Man and used to hate Spider-Man. But in 2001’s Amazing Spider-Man #35, she got to know about the truth and also had a conversation with Peter about that. After learning about the fact, she also became a fan of Spider-Man.
