As Summer winds down, people are already looking forward to fall and fall releases.  Magnolia Pictures just announced a new addition, Toby Wilkins’ Splinter, will open o Halloween.  They acquired the independent horror film last year and have just been waiting for a chance to release it. The movie features a virulent virus that takes control over people, giving them a lust for blood.

So, here’s how the most frightening month of the year is shaping up.

On Friday the 10th we get Quarantine, the remake of REC, from Screen Gems.

On Friday, the 24th, Lionsgate unleashes Saw V while Disney rereleases Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3-D.  In limited release will be Universal’s thriller, Changeling. The big event is the limited release of Let the Right One In.

Then, on Halloween itself, Changeling goes into wide release and Guy Ritchie’s crime comedy RockNRolla has an 800 screen rollout from Warner Bros, plus Splinter and Freestyle Releasing’s The Haunting of Molly Hartley.
