Earlier this year, Max announced it would be housing over 200 episodes of AMC Networks’ television at no additional cost to subscribers beginning in September.
That two-month window is coming to an end, so you’ll want to catch up on “Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire” Season 1; “Dark Winds” Season 1; “Gangs of London” Seasons 1 and 2; “Fear the Walking Dead” Seasons 1-7; “Killing Eve” Seasons 1-4; “A Discovery of Witches” Seasons 1-3; and “Ride with Norman Reedus” Seasons 1-5 while you still can.
A number of great horror titles are leaving at the end of October as well, including: “A Cabin in the Woods,” “Beetlejuice,” “Eight Legged Freaks,” “From Hell,” “It” and “It: Chapter 2,” and several more. They’ll be great to put on while you host your Halloween bash.
Here’s everything leaving Max in October 2023.

Features the voices of: Jensen Ackles, Billy Burke, Josh Duhamel, Troy Baker, Naya Rivera, David Dastmalchian | Written by Tim Sheridan | Directed by Chris Palmer
Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two picks up almost immediately after the teaser at the end of Part One. Bruce Wayne is under the spell of Poison Ivy and Batman nowhere to be found. At least until Catwoman intervenes.
But even as he’s recovering from three months under her influence other problems are plaguing a crime ravaged Gotham City. District Attorney Harvey Dent is being pushed to the edge by his job and the toll it’s taking on his marriage. And the continuing spree of The Holiday Killer has pushed Carmine Falcone to make some dangerous alliances with the likes of Poison Ivy and The Mad Hatter (John Dimaggio). That does not sit well with his daughter Sofia.

Wait a minute. Are we somehow half way through the year already? That feels impossible but here comes month number five all the same. With its list of new releases for May 2021, Amazon Prime is highlighting some of its more intriguing original series in awhile.
The first original of note is The Underground Railroad. This series from Barry Jenkins tells the story of one woman’s desperate bid for freedom in the Antebellum South and arrives on May 14. After that comes Solos. This intriguing anthology has one hell of a cast including Anthony Mackie, Dan Stevens, Anne Hathaway, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, Constance Wu, and more. The project will premiere on May 21 and each of its seven episodes promises to be quite different.

Movie titles don’t necessarily make or break a movie on their own, but this is a look at ten movies where their titles didn’t do them any favors.
In the realm of zaney movie titles, I can appreciate those that are trying to be fun or silly, like 1964’s The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed Up Zombies or even Dude, Where’s My Car? Those are passable because they actually give you an idea of what to expect while perhaps generating a chuckle or a shake of the head. I can even deal with lame puns and wordplay in titles, as long as they make sense for the material at hand. Examples include Blacula! or Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties. Even titles that are so straightforward they end up being dumb aren’t lying or misleading to us, and so they shouldn’t...

Want to watch that amazing train chase sequence from "Skyfall" one more time? Get to streaming the 2012 James Bond film before May 5, because it's one of the many films leaving Netflix's queue. How about the original "RoboCop"? You have until May 1 to comply, er, stream it. And if you want to catch up on Audrey Hepburn classics "Funny Face" and "Sabrina," those will also be leaving soon, as well as "Romancing the Stone" and its sequel, "The Jewel of the Nile."

Not a lot to say in the pre-amble to this week’s selection of titles. Should probably apologise for the negativity in advance because a lot of the below is dreck this week across any content provider apart from the occasional bright spot and a new Netflix exclusive. Hopefully you will be able to at least find something worth a look that floats your boat.
This week’s titles of note are as follows:
Gravity (2013)
There really isn’t anymore praise that I can heap on Alfonso Cuaron’s outer space thrill ride that hasn’t been heaped upon it already. Upon repeat viewing what impresses more and more is the technical marvel that this film represents with Gravity being a massive leap forward in the use of virtual sets as well as animation that looks like real people.
There are apparently whole entire scenes here featuring Sandra Bullock and...

Andy Wyrick (Murray) and his wife, Lisa (Spencer) are over the moon when they find what seems to be the ideal location to bring up their young daughter Heidi (Lind) – an old house situated deep in the woods of rural Georgia that used to be a staging post for escaping slaves on the underground railway. But soon after the move, as Heidi begins to witness a number of disturbing supernatural events, the ghostly spirits of the house’s past return to unleash terror on the present owners.
Ok, let’s get this out of the way first. Beyond being a story about supernatural events The Haunting In Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia has Nothing to do with it’s predecessor. This film features all new characters, an all new family and an all new location.

Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhoff talks The Haunting In Connecticut, the ghost in her house, and missed opportunities...
You probably know Katee Sackhoff best as Starbuck from the 2004 Battlestar Galactica reimagining. Gender-swapping such an iconic and well-loved might’ve seemed blasphemous at first, but Katee made the role her own.
Her Starbuck is layered, sympathetic, and undeniably badass; she’s probably one of the most interesting characters in any sci-fi show, and it’s the kind of performance you don’t forget. (Is it obvious yet that I’m kind of a fan?)
Since BSG ended, Katee’s appeared in a ton of TV shows, including The Big Bang Theory and 24, and starred in a handful of genre movies, including Riddick. The thing we were due to talk to her about, though, was her role in horror sequel The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia,...

Whatever you may have thought of January Jones’s portrayal of The White Queen/Emma Frost in superhero blockbuster X-Men: First Class, there’s no denying the actress’s versatility. She’s been nominated for a Golden Globe, an Emmy and a Satellite Award for her performance as Betty Draper in AMC’s period drama Mad Men, had supporting roles in action blockbusters like Unknown and the upcoming Good Kill, appeared in raunchy comedy American Wedding and even toplined her own Western (Sweetwater). Now, Jones is set to add another genre to her already strong resume: horror. The actress just signed on to topline a supernatural thriller called The Shuddering.

One of Haunt‘s most endearing qualities surrounds a strong self-aware mindset that recognizes all paranormal stories typically start off the same way, yet by confessing such little deviation in the setup, Andrew Barrer achieves an open honesty that promotes a focused, well established delivery. The very first moments of Mac Carter’s first directorial feature admit all ghost stories start with a house, and looking back on any lengthy list of supernatural horror films confirms such a notion. Family moves into house, family discovers a long-standing curse, family starts to experience other-worldly occurrences – horror ensues. Rinse and repeat, right? Correct – but if executed properly, who cares?
Many years ago there lived a family plagued by misfortune. Moving into a new, lavish house, the Morello family attempted to start anew, but instead found tragedy around every corner. As their children died one by one, Franklin (Carl Hadra) and Janet (Jackie Weaver...

The storylines are a little convenient, but it's an emotional watch, and Larson is outstanding.

Faith issues, "human interest" and even buddy comedy blend smoothly in this true-life tale of a retired Irish woman's search for her adult son, aided by a sceptical English hack.

The Selfish Giant (15)
(Clio Barnard, 2013, UK) Conner Chapman, Shaun Thomas, Sean Gilder. 91 mins
In the tradition of Kes, or Fish Tank, this offers a child's-eye view of poverty that's too strong for real-life kids of the same age. Despite the fairytale origins, miracles are in short supply in this Bradford suburb, where two drop-out mates scavenge for opportunities. But the balance between harsh realism and mythical lyricism is beautifully struck, and the two leads really are miraculous.

As October draws to a close cinemas to fill up with the boo-curious and the chill-seekers and as ’tis the season we wanted to present you with a first look at the UK poster for Lionsgate’s horror sequel, The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia.
The original film’s editor Tom Elkins directs the second film, in what is sure to become an annual tradition if the box office coffers fill to the brim, and it retains the gloomy gothic feel of the original while expanding the story to another house, and another evil in the dark.
Here’s the new poster, and the trailer follows, the film is out, of course, on Halloween.

Following the impressive success of the original low-budget horror movie, The Haunting in Connecticut, Lionsgate have returned to bring us the sequel, The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia, which is also loosely based on a true story.
Abigail Spencer (Oz the Great and Powerful, Cowboys & Aliens) takes the lead this time around as Lisa, starring alongside Chad Michael Murray, Morgana Shaw, Emily Alyn Lind, Cicely Tyson, Grant James, and Katee Sackhoff.
From the producers of The Haunting In Connecticut comes the chilling true story of the Wyrick family.
1993. The Wyrick family – Lisa, Andy and their young daughter Heidi, pack up and move from Atlanta to their own modest home in the country outside tiny Pine Mountain, Georgia. Upon moving into their new home, mother and daughter begin experiencing disturbing visions. Lisa has long struggled with strange visions, which she keeps at bay through medication, and the family hopes...

Why not just call The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia by its more obvious title: Ghosts of Georgia? Why rely on the Haunting in Connecticut name? It's like they have no faith in horror fans to seek it out on its own merits, and instead they're calling us stupid by naming it this. I'm almost offended by it. But then I see that Chad Michael Murray is in it, so my disappointment washes away. I like to refer to him as Chad Michael Dreamboat, for the record. Katee Sackhoff (whose name never fails to make me giggle) also stars in A Haunting in Connecticut 2, and she's not the kind of girl who should ever smile. That may sound weird, but when Sackhoff is in something as dour and dark as Battlestar Galactica, seeing her go for laughs on something like Big Bang Theory or play light comic relief...

First off, let's just get something out of the way. The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia never had a chance to succeed. With a paradoxical title like that, audiences are given a red flag immediately. If the producers of a movie can't decide on a better name for a film, then how could they make bigger decisions during production? Just pick a name! Was Ghosts of Georgia any more generic than The Haunting in Connecticut? The reason I sound so frustrated is because it deserves better.
The Wyrick family moves into a country house in Georgia. Their daughter, Heidi, soon begins telling her parents she talks to a man who warns they're in danger. Upon investigating, they find out their house is located on land once owned by a stationmaster of the Underground Railroad. The souls of the slaves are restless and begin haunting the family for unknown reasons.

Moviefone's Pick of the Week "Django Unchained" What's It About? Quentin Tarantino's Western about a German bounty hunter freeing a southern slave (and all that comes with it), is at once a commentary on how barbaric the idea of slavery is/was and also a dark comedy about the horrors of the slave trade. See It Because: Some moments you'll be laughing out loud and at others you'll be morose and silent. In the end, you'll be cheering aloud for protagonist Jamie Foxx (Django), who's gunslinging badassery is one of the most memorable performances of the year. Moviefone's Blu-ray Pick of the Week "Repo Man" Criterion Collection What's It About? Uh well.... Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton star in this 1984 punk classic as a pair of repossession agents that race against rival thugs and government agents to locate a classic Chevy Malibu that may or may not have...

The Haunting In Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia – because the paranormal are also expert analysts of the housing market and know how much cheaper Southern living is. Psh, Connecticut, who can afford those prices! No, really though, why the hell wasn’t this just called The Haunting In Georgia? A haunting implies ghosts are involved without the giant blinking lights that highlight “Ghosts” the way our title is written now, and anyway, there isn’t even a connecting plot line between the two. Having The Haunting In Connecticut left in our title is really a pointless act of marketing to make people remember the mediocre film that started this soon to be trilogy (The Haunting In New York is next) of non-interconnecting stories about apparitions and the special people who can make contact with them.
But Ok, enough ranting about silly naming, there’s a horror movie behind that name begging to be reviewed!

The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia. Straight from the title card, this movie is a mess.
A “sister” film to the moderately successful A Haunting in Connecticut has been in the works for a while [Editor's note: Once it was a directing vehicle for Ti West who bailed out.], debuting now four years after the original.
The movie tells the story of the Wyrick family, who move to a seemingly perfect little cabin tucked away in the backwoods of Southern Georgia. We quickly discover that Andy’s wife Lisa is in touch with the spiritual world, she possesses a ‘veil’, a gift that allows to her to interact and see with the other side. It seems that this gift is shared with her sister Joyce and passed along to her daughter Heidi, and because of it, they uncover a century old secret that unearths some ghostly presence as well.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars
2009′s The Haunting In Connecticut was a largely forgettable horror yarn that quickly came and went, disappearing into the home video void, a fate which the series – yes, it’s a series now, with a third film already in the works – is seemingly unable to escape with this straight-to-video “sequel”, Ghosts of Georgia.
Set 6 years after the events of the first film – but having absolutely no relation to those events nor even stepping one foot in Connecticut (the entire film is set in Georgia) – this sequel concerns itself with a hapless couple, Lisa (Abigail Spencer) and Andy Wyrick (Chad Michael Murray), who move into a new home with their daughter Heidi (Emily Alyn Lind), only to soon enough find themselves being haunted by a presence rising from beneath the foundations of the home.
To be fair to first-time director Tom Elkins, he at least starts off...

It seems that the producers' goal in following up The Haunting in Connecticut with Ghosts of Georgia is to produce a series of creepy horror movies that are based on documented events of the supernatural. That's all fine and good, but it doesn't make a title like The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia a good idea. Yes, you need to wedge your "Part 1" title into the "Part 2" title somehow, but let's be honest here. Georgia and Connecticut are pretty much opposites. But enough about the goofy title. The movie's the thing, obviously.
Inspired by the decent success of their 2009 release, The Haunting in Connecticut, the producers have decided to set their sights on a decidedly different part of the country this time around -- so if you're expecting anything that's actually connected to Part 1, you're out of luck. Unfortunately, if you're expecting a new occult thriller that's particularly novel,...

Based on a true story, the film follows the Wyrick family – Andy (Chad Michael Murray), wife Lisa (Abigail Spencer), daughter Heidi (Emily Alyn Lind) and his sister-in-law Joyce (Katee Sackhoff) - as they move into their new Georgian home. Things quickly go to hell as Heidi starts receiving ghostly visitors, the female family members experience chilling visions and an evil force, with shocking ties to the land, threatens to tear them apart. The Haunting in Connecticut 2 is out in limited release and VOD platforms today.

There's no mistaking the fact that we're still in the dead of winter and the odds are stacked against most of this weekend's new releases as they are forced to compete with the Super Bowl. The movie with the best shot at success is probably Warm Bodies, the zombie rom-com based on the popular book by Isaac Marion. However, Sylvester Stallone will be hoping that his new action flick Bullet to the Head can at least fare better than Schwarzenegger's The Last Stand, while Al Pacino, Alan Arkin and Christopher Walken play grumpy old hitmen in Stand Up Guys. In select theatres, look for a handful of documentaries including Dave Grohl's Sound City and Oscar nominee The Gatekeepers, plus... The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia.
