Down a Dark Hall | August 17th, 2018 | Lionsgate/Summit | young adult horror film starring AnnaSophia Robb, Uma Thurman, & others

[SLAM!]

 

In this new horror film, young girls are forced to go to a haunted boarding house, where things get pretty supernatural.

 

According to Google, the film is set to release in August 17th against Sony's Alpha, Warner Bros' Crazy Rich Asians, STX's The Happytime Murders, and Aviron's Three Seconds.

 

(Personally, I think this might be this year's Wish Upon or this year's Friend Request, but I'm glad that the actors involved are being given roles.)

Yeah, this feels like a flop... and I get that they're trying to cater to a younger female demographic but "From the Producers of the Twilight Saga" is a great way to scare away everyone else who might be interested in this as horror.

Holy fuck, August needs LESS movies releasing, not more!

Annasophia Rob....now there's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

 

I always thought she had the right tools to be bigger.  Good looks, young and in some good movies like The Way Way Back.

She's earned my respect after The Soul Surfer. She was excellent in that film. She's young enough as to where her career still has potential, though.

No doubt.  I just thought she had potential to do bigger things so far.  But yes, she is very young, lots of time.
