Just surfaced from my New Year's Eve hangover, and realized the first trailer for A Quiet Place Part II has arrived. The first film is a bonafide modern classic. Such a good, intense horror picture made with talent and class. Given everyone involved in the first movie -- including director John Krasinski -- is back, I have high hopes for this one. That and I heart Emily Blunt. A lot! Here's the preview: A Quiet Place Part II opens everywhere March 20. Source: Paramount Pictures

Halloween is just 84 days away, and that means it's time for the Halloween-themed movies to start popping out of the woodwork. Rejoice, the best time of the year is almost upon us! One such movie is Haunt, from Scott Beck and Brian Woods, who wrote the amazeballs A Quiet Place, and producer Eli Roth. He should need no introduction. What's it about? A woman who is trying to escape an abusive relationship goes out on a night of fun with her friends... Halloween night to be exact. However, as the night goes on, and the friends come across a Haunted House experience, she begins to suspect her ex is stalking her. Check out this intense little trailer: Haunt stars Katie Stevens and hits theatres, Digital and On Demand Sept. 13. You gonna check it out? Source: Momentum Pictures

Given the juggle that is family, a full-time job and this site, neither Shawn nor I get to see every movie we want to in theatres. While unfortunate, it also means we have the joy of catching up with these flicks when they hit the home market. I got to do just that this Canada Day weekend, taking in not only the new Tomb Raider, but the much acclaimed A Quiet Place. How do these flicks rate on the Basement scale? Stick with me!
