The sequel’s storyline isn’t yet revealed, but rumors claim the story will follow yet another of the Warren’s famous paranormal investigations, the story of two sisters in Enfield, England in the late 7.

Meant as an origin story for the iconic killer, Leatherface will tell the story of a teenage Leatherface that escapes from a mental institution with three others and a captive nurse, only to be chased by an equally unhinged lawman seeking revenge. The plot sounds violent, disturbing and highly suspenseful, keeping in tune with the original film, something fans of the franchise will appreciate.

Leatherface will be the eighth installment in the franchise to date, and with a completely new set of faces on and off camera, it’s hard to say what fans should expect. Still, with a (excuse the bad pun) killer storyline, this film already appears as if it will fare better than Texas Chainsaw 3. D (which, despite its box office earnings, was panned by fans of the franchise and critics alike). Rings (April 1)The Ring (2. Friday the 1. 3th this past November has been pushed back to April of next year, building up more anticipation for its release.

Feo, Jr. The same gimmicks from the first film as well as its remake appear to be played upon in the preview for the newest installment, and though the story is going to bring with it a new family (unaware of the house’s history), it’s hard to say whether or not the film will live up to the hype. Still, the original is classic, and it’s hard to turn down an opportunity to see its continuation. The Purge 3 (July 1)Though the first two films have received generally mixed reviews, they’ve both left audiences wanting more; a demand the third film will, hopefully, be able to live up to.

Here’s hoping. 1. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (February 5)The film to be released in February of next year is based on the parody novel of the same title by Seth Grahame- Smith, which parodies the beloved Jane Austen classic, Pride and Prejudice. The title pretty much says it all, as the iconic Mr.

Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are battling more than just love in this romantic horror film. Austen fans are salivating over this one, and horror fans familiar with more satirical horror (i. Scream) should tune in for this one as well.

It’s a film that doesn’t appear as if it’ll take itself too seriously, and if there was ever a way to retell the classic love story, I’m sure there isn’t a horror fan out there that could think of a better way to do it. The Boy (January 2. It’s a unique film, to say the least, and it stars The Walking Dead’s Lauren Cohan, so there’s two for the win column right there.
