Kidnap

The Disappointments Room

If you can’t already tell by that strange title, The Disappointments Room is going to be a freaky movie. Who wants such a room in their home? Based on true events, the horror comes out September 9th. The kicker? Prison Break‘s Wentworth Miller wrote the screenplay for this one.

Rings

The Ring

is one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen. I’m sort of curious about Rings, but then again, can it be more frightening than the first one? Rings opens on October 28th.

Sully

Based on real events, Sully is one of the must-see movies of the year. Not only because the story is amazing itself. But because Tom Hanks. And Clint Eastwood.
