Upcoming Anthology The Dark Tapes Picks Up Awards and Nominations
Anthology films are like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get. Usually they consist of a few great segments in addition to some trashy ones; however, with the upcoming The Dark Tapes, it seems like a safe bet that we’re in for an instant classic.
Due for release later this year, it will feature stories involving “crazy killers, ghosts, demons, creatures, and more.” Best of all, it’s already picked up a gigantic amount of awards and nominations (as listed on its official website), so we can’t fucking wait to see this.
