Possession films, like any horror subgenera, have their tropes. Go into a vampire movie and you know what you're gonna get. Ditto zombies, slashers, and yes, movies about people being possessed. So does the upcoming Possession Diaries bring anything new to the table? Or are we getting more of the same old thing? Take a look at the preview before we continue.

Hollywood has come up with a lot of clever marketing schemes, and this has to be one of the best. With Devil's Due hitting theatres this Friday , 20th Century Fox decided to unleash an animatronic devil baby on the streets of New York . The below video shows the results. And it's pretty damn cool. Between this and the Carrie coffee-shop prank from late last year, movie marketing is headed in a new direction. A Punk'd direction. Now all they gotta do is build a giant lizard and have it stomp the shit out of downtown Tokyo . I would pay big money to see that. Devil's Due is a found-footage horror film directed by Radio Silence and starring Zach Gilford and Allison Miller . Our interview with Radio Silence also hits this Friday.

We're pretty pumped for the filmmaking collective Radio Silence's upcoming found-footage flick Devil's Due . Yeah, we're done with found footage, but these guys have an energy and style all their own and it shows in their work. Advance word is this flick is the bomb . . . in a good way! The new trailer gives me confidence. Check it: Zach Gilford and Allison Miller star as a newlywed couple who find themselves dealing with an earlier-than-planned pregnancy. While recording everything for posterity, the husband begins to notice odd behavior in his wife that they initially write off to nerves. But, as the months pass, it becomes evident the dark changes to her body and mind have a much more sinister origin. Devil's Due lands Jan. 17. Wanna see an example of Radio Silence's work?

B-Aff really went to town at the box office this weekend as the actor/director/co-screenwriter of The Town saw his crime drama perform much better than expected in its debut, taking in an estimated $23.8 million to open in first place, upsetting the widely predicted winner Easy A. Ben Affleck's film, his second as a director, was expected to open in second place with around $15 to $17 million. Credit its actual performance to strong reviews, positive word of mouth and its status as the first serious Oscar hopeful to come out of the gate this season. Easy A had to settle for second place and earned an estimated $18.2 million. Opening in third place was Devil. The movie, the first in the Night Chronicles series of low-budget horror releases produced by M. Night Shyamalan, scared up an estimated $12.6 million. 'Devil' had to share a genre audience with last week's champ, Resident Evil: Afterlife. That film slipped to fourth place and lost 62 percent of its...

Unbreakable is one of my favourite comic book movies, even though it's not based on an actual comic book. But it is a realistic representation of someone who realizes he is a super hero. Not a super-man type, but a hero with powers who fits into our real world. Still with me? Good. M. Night Shyamalan has been teasing us with the idea of a sequel to Unbreakable since the film was released.  As it turns out, Shyamalan realizes that the film, for whatever reason, is not going to happen, so he's adapting his ideas for the sequel into a standalone film sans Bruce Willis' character. Still with me? No? I don't blame you. Shyamalan says he had "such a cool idea for a villain" for Unbreakable 2 that he began writing ideas around it. When the projct became less likely, he cannibalized that idea for his upcoming Night Chronicles series. The first of those films, Devil, hits theaters on Sept. 17. With Shyamalan's name producing diminishing returns, if De...
