For the beginning of its history, Blumhouse made a name for itself by launching new film franchises in the horror genre, including “Paranormal Activity,” “The Purge,” and “Insidious.” However, recently, the film studio has taken a look at popular IP that is ripe for rebooting, including “Fantasy Island,” “The Invisible Man,” and “Halloween.” And apparently, the rebooting is going to continue at Blumhouse with John Carpenter’s “The Thing.” Speaking at this year’s Fantasia Fest, John Carpenter was

Blumhouse is known for a couple of things. First, the studio only makes films with micro-budgets, rarely spending more than $10 million per feature (with huge profits because of this frugal nature).

Elisabeth Moss knows a good thing when she sees it. Having worked with Blumhouse on “The Invisible Man,” the actress saw how the production company is able to take a thriller with a small budget and turn it into a global hit.

Stephen King is an incredibly prolific author, but he is also very effective at getting movie deals. King’s latest book, a collection of four novellas titled “If It Bleeds,” already produced three movie deals since it got published in May.

Even though it’s only been several months since the release of “The Invisible Man,” director Leigh Whannell’s horror film is a huge hit and has pretty much laid out the blueprint for how to reinvent the Universal Monsters brand for the modern era.

Sorry, film fans, Halloween has been canceled for 2020. Well, not literally, but if you’re a horror fan, it appears that this year’s frightening holiday (which is likely to be scary anyway given the daily lives of American citizens) is going to be a little less terrifying, with Blumhouse delaying the release of “Halloween Kills” and a couple of the studio’s other upcoming films.

When the history books are written about this era of Hollywood filmmaking, the entry about cinematic universes will be headlined by the MCU, and then, somewhere further down, there will be a discussion of the biggest crossover failure, Universal’s Dark Universe. Originally meant to compete with Marvel, the studio’s attempt to reboot the various Universal Monsters in one cohesive continuity bombed before it really took off thanks to “The Mummy” reboot starring Tom Cruise.

Blumhouse founder Jason Blum has become one of the biggest names in horror films thanks to his formula of releasing clever films with micro-budgets and earning big profits. He’s also launched a number of franchises using this model, including the underrated “Happy Death Day” films.

Recently, it was revealed that Karyn Kusama had worked out a deal with Blumhouse to adapt “Dracula” for the studio. For fans of her films “Jennifer’s Body” and “The Invitation,” the idea that Kusama’s unique style can be brought to a horror icon like Bram Stoker’s creation.

While “The Invisible Man” cemented Leigh Whannell as one of the best new directors working in genre films, many people credit his directorial debut, “Upgrade,” for really showing how special he is. Unfortunately, for as great as “Upgrade” is, the film wasn’t a massive box office success, leading many to wonder if we’d ever see a continuation of the sci-fi story.

After experiencing box office success with the release of their 2018 collaboration, the reboot-quel “Halloween,” it appears that actress Jamie Lee Curtis is ready to make it official with Jason Blum and his Blumhouse production company. According to Deadline, Jamie Lee Curtis and her Comet Pictures production company have entered into a three-year, first-look deal with Blumhouse to release a variety of film and TV projects.

Blumhouse has made a name for itself by releasing a number of micro-budget horror films that have earned big box office dollars. But the way in which the production company, and its founder, Jason Blum, are able to do this is with a talented group of filmmakers, many of which without the opportunity to helm a blockbuster film prior.

Fantasy Island review: Fantasy Island was originally set for a Valentine’s Day release, but it was then pushed back to 6th March. It’s an odd thing to do, especially given the money that would have been pumped into the marketing for the Valentine’s release. Cinemas are also heaving at the moment with genre cinema; The Invisible Man is already out, Sacrilege releases on the same day, and The Hunt arrives on Wednesday. With all this competition, can Fantasy Island stand out from the crowd?

Fresh off the successful opening weekend of “The Invisible Man,” director Leigh Whannel has signed a first-look deal with Jason Blum’s Blumhouse Productions for film and television.

Though perhaps better known as a writer and actor, The Invisible Man marks Leigh Whannell’s third turn as a director. His first foray into life behind the lens came with Insidious: Chapter Three, the third film set in the series that he created and starred in.

The campy TV show “Fantasy Island” rebooted as a horror flick? Director Jeff Wadlow (“Blumhouse’s Truth or Dare”) says it isn’t as much of a stretch as you might think. “The ‘be careful what you wish for’ notion is literally the premise of the show,” he says, “and it’s at the core of every great horror movie.”
