Dracula Untold

It’s an A-list cast in this movie written, produced, and directed by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.

Beauty and the Beast 

  

Lea Seydoux plays Belle, one of the daughters of a young merchant who is punished after he plucks a rose from the home of the frightening Beast. To save her father, she takes his place at the Beast’s home and gets to know him in the process. 

Life After Beth 

 

Aubrey Plaza is Beth, who’s mysteriously restored to life after her untimely death, shocking her boyfriend Zach and the people around her. When Beth starts to develop some zombie-like characteristics, including an appetite for people, things start to go awry. 

Nymph 

 

“Mysterious, irresistible, deadly,” goes the description in the trailer. You wouldn’t want to be stuck swimming in dangerous waters with the killer mermaid featured in this horror flick.
