A couple weeks ago, we learned that Rue Morgue Magazine founder Rodrigo Gudiño’s film The Breach will be getting a VOD and digital release in the UK and Ireland on July 10th – and now it has been confirmed that the film will be reaching VOD and digital in the US just one day later, on July 11th! A trailer for The Breach can be seen in the embed above, so check it out and see if this looks like a movie you’ll want to watch next month.
The release date in Australia and New Zealand is July 12th.
Based on an Audible Original Podcast written by Nick Cutter (get the audiobook Here), The Breach follows John Hawkins, who is set to retire from his post as police chief of the small town of Lone Crow that is tucked away in the deep woods of northern Ontario. But following...

JoBlo’s own Tyler Nichols already got to see Rue Morgue Magazine founder Rodrigo Gudiño’s film The Breach a year ago, but the film still doesn’t have a release date in the US. It does have a release date in the UK and Ireland, though, and it’s not far away: the movie will be getting a VOD and digital release there on July 10th. Along with the release date announcement comes the unveiling of a new trailer for The Breach, and you can check that out in the embed above.
If you’re in Australia or New Zealand and want to see The Breach soon, you’re in luck. The release date in those territories is coming just two days after the film will be available to watch in the UK and Ireland.

So much of our collective love of horror is grounded in the visual: A splash of gore, an inventive creature design, an image so startling and unexpected it lingers long after the lights come back up. It’s only right for a genre that takes our greatest fears and gives them shape (perhaps even The Shape). But there’s a frightening power in the unseen as well, and many of horror’s crowning achievements have demonstrated that nothing sweetens a scare or ratchets the tension of a chilling set piece quite like a good instrumental score.
Horror has long been at the forefront of innovations in makeup, visual effects, sound design, and cinematography, and its impact on film and television music is no different. One of the earliest electronic instruments, the theremin, gave otherworldly texture to “The Spiral Staircase” and “The Thing From Another World” before its synthesizer and sequencer...

While queer musicians have always been around, representation often comes in the way of gay, lesbian or bisexual artists. Unfortunately, transgender artists have been especially underrepresented. These days trans, nonbinary, or non-gender-conforming artists like Sam Smith, Arca, Janelle Monáe, Kim Petras, and Big Freedia have been able to create space for transgender artists. However, back in the 1960s, one artist was already pushing music forward. Let’s look back at Wendy Carlos, her monumental record “Switched-On Bach,” and how it helped both her and the trans community along the way — while also winning three Grammys.

10. Alien
Directed by Ridley Scott
Written by Dan O’Bannon
UK / USA, 1979
Genre: Sci-Fi Horror
Boasting one of the greatest taglines of all time – “In space, no one can hear you scream” – Alien blends science fiction, horror, and bleak poetry into what could have easily turned into a simple B-monster movie. In fact, the movie was originally pitched to producers as “Jaws in space,” but thankfully Ridley Scott, who was stepping behind the camera for only the second time, took the film far more seriously. Like Steven Spielberg’s great thriller, most of the running time relies on the viewer’s imagination since Scott carefully restricts how little we see of the creature. Alien can certainly test a viewer’s patience. This is an extremely slow burn (something unusual for the genre) and despite the budget, stellar effects, and ambitious set design, Alien in a sense is a minimalist film...

Dreams and hallucinations can be the broadest of horror staples. Throw in some weird imagery, maybe a few jarring cuts, and you have an instant scare. But an effective dream sequence is more than technique, it’s a filmmaker capturing a specific type of fear: losing control, having your life shattered, or meeting a manifestation of your guilt. The dream or the hallucination is the character’s psyche putting the pieces together or falling apart completely. Of course, dreams don’t always require messages. Sometimes, they’re just damn scary.

Aliens (1986)- Ripley’s nightmare
Aliens is the perfect sequel for many reasons. It follows in the footsteps of the original 1979 classic while existing as its own entity and delivering new characters that are just as memorable as the first’s. What’s more, it favors high-tension action scenes over more traditional horror-centric scenes, demonstrating the malleability of the series.

Some horror movies go with a "slow-build" approach, and some go for the jugular right off the bat. The unexpected horror hit "It Follows" definitely falls into the latter category, as you can see in the opening scene embedded below (narrated by director David Robert Mitchell). Are you sufficiently unnerved? Good! That's what we're going for here. As the indie horror hit prepares to expand into over 1,600 theaters this weekend, below I've ranked 18 of the most iconic/frightening horror openings of all time from least to most scary. The result is a completely objective list that will remain set in stone for all eternity. Are you ready? Can you handle it? Countdown starts now... 18. "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) "They're coming to get you, Barbara." While I have no doubt that contemporary audiences covered their eyes in fright during the opening sequence of Romero's original "Night of the Living Dead,...

As you know, music plays a huge part in the filmmaking process and plays with our emotions while we are watching the movie. Music heightens our senses and adds to the quality of film. When it comes to horror movies, the music is supposed to scare us, make us feel uneasy, and gives us moments of panic and fear. Director Martin Scorsese said the following about music and film:
“Music and cinema fit together naturally. Because there’s a kind of intrinsic musicality to the way moving images work when they’re put together. It’s been said that cinema and music are very close as art forms, and I think that’s true.”
Just the other day the main theme song from Halloween started playing on the radio, and it freaked my kids out to the point that they were in tears. It was sad but kind of funny at the same time.

Every year, we here at Sound On Sight celebrate the month of October with 31 Days of Horror; and every year, I update the list of my favourite horror films ever made. Last year, I released a list that included 150 picks. This year, I’ll be upgrading the list, making minor alterations, changing the rankings, adding new entries, and possibly removing a few titles. I’ve also decided to publish each post backwards this time around for one simple reason: that is, the new additions appear lower on my list, whereas my top 50 haven’t changed much, except for maybe in ranking. Enjoy!
Special Mention:
Un chien andalou
Directed by Luis Buñuel
Written by Salvador Dalí and Luis Buñuel
France, 1929
The dream – or nightmare – has been a staple of horror cinema for decades. In 1929, Luis Bunuel joined forces with Salvador Dali to create Un chien andalou, an experimental and unforgettable 17-minute surrealist masterpiece.

There’s a wonderfully maddening moment early on in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining where Danny Torrance is perusing the corridors of the Overlook hotel on his tricycle. He swings round corners, the camera obsessively following him in a locked in third person perspective angle. The skin crawling score by Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind swells up with each turn, suggesting he is about to crash into a stable of horror. But he never does. Instead even as the music climaxes he simply finds more empty hallways to roll down. For an audience who likely identify his encounter later on in identical circumstances as the film’s most iconic scene, this sequence is nerve shattering because it refuses to release tension by actually delivering on what it seems to build up to. This is one of many such tricks of subtle teasing that Kubrick delivers, a myriad of near misses...

With Tiff over and done with, a huge number of noteworthy films have to be parsed, and first up is the “subjective documentary” Room 237, in which a host of obsessives muse over their pet theories on what Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining is really about. Ricky D and Simon Howel are joined by special guest Corey Atad, who helps us survey the madness. Afterwards, we kick off our new Under the Radar segment, spotlighting whatever cultural detritus we happen to be digging this week.

Phone calls can come at the most inconvenient moments, but they're rarely quite as unwelcome as in this scene from Joe Johnston's sequel to the 1993 Spielberg classic. The true terror of this moment is similar to that of The Innocents, in that the ring-tone reveals something awful that has been looking at you for a long time, and wondering what its next course of action should be. It's the sheer mundanity of the sound that succeeds in doubling the shock value, as we realise that the Spinosaurus is having his lunch repeat on him in the most disturbing way...

Chicago – Roland Emmerich is a filmmaker in the classic tradition of B-movie auteurs who shamelessly exploited modern paranoia for the sake of getting butts in the seats. His global warming thriller, “The Day After Tomorrow,” had a sequence where characters were literally being chased by the cold. In “2012,” the protagonists are being chased by armageddon, and they’re always one step ahead.
It’s easy to forget just how frightening “2012”’s early marketing campaign was. The first teaser trailer was a clever homage to Kubrick’s trailer for “The Shining,” with its eerie juxtapositions and use of towering liquid as a symbol for approaching doom. It ended by urging audiences to “Find Out The Truth” by Google searching 2012, thus inspiring gullible viewers to freak out over ancient Mayan doomsday prophecies. Yet while the trailer utilized Wendy Carlos and Rachel Elkind’s hypnotically malevolent music, the actual film concludes with an Adam Lambert song.
