Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Courtesy of the Studios Two months into 2020 and we may have only one true horror blockbuster , but behind it is an impressive lineup of genre titles just begging for your attention. It’s a time of grand returns: of filmmaker Richard Stanley, of the Universal Monsters, of some classic 1980s screen heavies and B-movie legends, and of the art-house horror darlings Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala.
Color Out of Space Photo: Gustavo Figueiredo/RLJE Films After a decades-long absence from the director’s chair , Richard Stanley finally returned in the weirdest, wildest way with the H.P. Lovecraft adaptation Color Out of Space, for which he also wrote the screenplay. Nicolas Cage and Joely Richardson star as a married couple living in a beautiful rural home with their three kids. Their pleasant little life is rudely interrupted when a glowing meteorite strikes down in their front lawn.
Gretel & Hansel Photo: YouTube Director Osgood Perkins specializes in slow-moving tone studies that immerse the viewer in haunting environs, and his update of the Hansel & Gretel fairytale pays proper homage to its twisted Brothers Grimm origins. When the two kids are cast out of their home by an unhinged mother, Gretel knows it’s up to her to provide for and protect her little brother.
The Invisible Man Photo: Courtesy of Universal Pictures The year’s first horror blockbuster is a new spin on a classic. Writer and director Leigh Whannell conceived of this take on Universal’s The Invisible Man by making the title character a domestic abuser and the hero his girlfriend who is trying to escape him at any cost. Adrian swore to Cecilia that she’d never be able to leave him, and if she ever tried he would find her and walk right up to her without her ever even noticing.
