"Yes. No. I don't f*cking know! We left reality behind three bodies ago!"
Is it just me, or have the past couple of years been absolutely bumpin' for new horror?
Enter Burn The Negative by Josh Winning!
The cult favourite horror movie, The Guesthouse, is considered cursed. Eight people involved with the 90s movie died in ways similar to deaths from the movie.
Now it's being remade as It Feeds.
Original Guesthouse star Laura Warren, formerly Polly Tremaine, was spared the same fate as others. She changed her name to blend into obscurity, and as a journalist is finding eerie similarities on the new set.
After all, the never-identified Needle Man is still lurking about. And the deaths are continuing.
I love the trope of revisiting classic (albeit fictional) haunted pop culture media.
Burn The Negative is a most worthy player in the genre. Recommended!
