Horror Movies We're Looking Forward to in 2015

Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension

March 13, 2015

 

The Paranormal Activity franchise helped to reinvigorate found footage films in 2007. Since then a number of sequels have followed, and while not every installment has won huge with viewers, a number of these creep-outs have served to thrill viewers. Enter Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension, the sixth film in the franchise. Gregory Plotkin will make his directorial debut, and look to reinject major interest in a generally successful franchise.

 

Insidious: Chapter 3

June 5, 2015

 

The Insidious pictures stole the hearts of fans immediately. They're creepy, loaded with gloom and dreadful atmosphere and jam-packed with shocking visuals. A third film was a no-brainer, and with Leigh Whannell (a key player in the entire franchise) directing, it's probably safe to anticipate one terrifying feature.

 

Poltergeist

July 24, 2015

 

Here's one of next year's greatest question marks. Can the Poltergeist remake hold a candle to the original pic? My gut says yes! Gil Kenan, who directed the gorgeously chilling Monster House takes to the helm, and he's got some top notch performers to work with. From Sam Rockwell to Rosemarie Dewitt to Jared Harris, it's almost impossible to imagine this remake underwhelming on any level.

 

Goosebumps

August 7, 2015

 

Look for Goosebumps to be as much comedy as it is horror, but look for it to tap nostalgic nerves around the globe as well. R.L. Stine's series remains one of the most popular runs for the young, and there's no reason to believe that infectious entertainment won't transfer well to the big screen. This could be the film that sees Jack Black return to top form.

 

Sinister 2

August 21, 2015

 

Sinister was a frightening film. Ciaron Foy will take over directorial duties for this sequel, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The fact is, there's a great foundation to build upon here. Scott Derrickson's inaugural franchise film was quite moving, and it should be compelling to see the direction Foy takes this sequel.

 

Frankenstein 

October 2, 2015

 

Daniel Radcliffe can't be stopped. He transitioned from the Harry Potter films to the surprisingly impressive adaptation of Joe Hill's amazing novel Horns, and now he's right back at it in the new Frankenstein film. Radcliffe will portray Igor, and the majority of us are extremely excited. This one doesn't look to be another Universal action-oriented flick, but something a bit darker. It's a shame we'll be forced to wait until next October to take this one in, but the wait could very well be worth it!

 

The Last Wiitch Hunter

October 23, 2015

 

Vin Diesel will front Breck Eisner's new action/horror hybrid, The Last Witch Hunter. Early imagery looks awesome, and Vin has a knack for taking the reigns and outshining his cast mates. It won't be easy with talents like Elijah Wood and Michael Caine on board, but it's possible. And even if Diesel fails to emerge the star, he's got great onscreen company and a really cool man versus witch concept to juggle.
