AceShowbiz - If spooky is your definition of interesting, then here are a few options of films to watch that will meet your satisfaction. Following the success of 2018's "A Quiet Place", a sequel is a no-brainer. While the anticipation was high, the wait for "A Quiet Place: Part II" has been prolonged due to the delay caused by the pandemic. Still with John Krasinski at the helm, it follows the Abbotts who must now face the terrors of the outside world as they continue their fight for survival in silence. Amping up the suspense, it brings new major threats in the form of new creatures that lurk beyond the sand path.
While a "A Quiet Place" franchise is bringing an unknown world to moviegoers, fans of horror films must be already familiar with "Candyman". The lore, which is based on the short story "The Forbidden" by Clive Barker, was first brought to life in 1992, with the upcoming movie being billed as a direct sequel. The previously-released trailer hints at a psychological twist in the plot that centers on a visual artist exploring the ghost story about a supernatural killer that is summoned by repeating his name five times into a mirror. With a screenplay written by Jordan Peele, it will hopefully bring justice to the underrated original movie.
Coming the pumpkin festival, a fictional serial killer is back terrorizing in "Halloween Kills". Developed following the critical and financial success of 2018's "Halloween", the the twelfth installment in the horror franchise once again pits Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) against her relentless chaser Michael Myers, portrayed by James Jude Courtney and Nick Castle. As majority of the film had been completed before its original planned release last October, producer Jason Blum claimed to have watched it and gushed in March, "I just saw 'Halloween Kills'. It was So good. So good. It's intense. It's huge. It really feels really big."
Other horror movies to be released in 2021: "The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It" (Jun. 4), "Spiral" (May 21)
