Cinema Fearité Presents ‘Soul Survivors’ – A Mish-Mash Movie That Just Missed Its Hip Hollywood Calling

Usually, these movie were slashers, like Scream or I Know What You Did Last Summer. Sometimes, they were more sci-fi tinged, such as Disturbing Behavior or The Faculty. By the turn of the century, the teen horror craze had hit the supernatural realm. Case in point: 2001’s Soul Survivors.

Five Halloween Movies To Watch That Are Not ‘Halloween’
When it gets to be late October, John Carpenter’s Halloween and its many sequels are the go-to movies for both big parties and late-night loners.

Cinema Fearité presents Crawlspace (Dir. David Schmoeller 1986)

Coming Soon: ‘American Reunion’
Remember in 1999 when a little comedy came out called American Pie? A film that made the previously simple act of eating pie into a sinfully hilarious masturbation option. The same movie introduced the world to the “MILF”, or “Mom I’d Like to F*ck,” thanks to the semi-iconic character of Stifler (Seann William Scott). Well, the boys, and the girls, of the original American Pie have returned in this year’s American Reunion, out April 6th in theatres. Reuniting the entire cast from the original film, and the sequels, it is definitely going to be quite the reunion, and one that inevitably will involve pie.
