Eight For Silver, Netflix, from Easter Monday
If the news that Leigh Whannell's Wolfman has been delayed until 2025 has left you howling, then this werewolf twist on the myth should help. Released in cinemas under the much more boring title The Cursed, Sean Ellis' atmospheric period horror is thankfully back under its old moniker for its Netflix release. A silver bullet extracted from a dead man near the start of the film, clues us into the territory we're entering as the film moves back in time to his childhood in rural France. When his heartless father massacres a Romany settlement, the children start to have nightmares... and then begin to disappear. As pathologist John McBride (Boyd Holbrook) suspects something supernatural is at work, Ellis plays around with the werewolf myth that draws on the idea of a beast consuming you from within.

Eight for Silver is a horror movie that was originally released in 2021 under the title The Cursed. Directed by Sean Ellis, it stars Boyd Holbrook, Kelly Reilly, and Alistair Petrie and takes place in the late 19th century, centring around a small village in France where a series of brutal murders have taken place. The locals are convinced that a pack of wolves is responsible for the killings, but a British pathologist, John McBride (Holbrook), arrives to investigate and discovers that something far more sinister is at play.
One of the strengths of Eight for Silver is its visual style. The movie is shot in a dark, atmospheric manner that perfectly captures the eerie and foreboding mood of the story.

Ready for growing hair, sprouting teeth, and howling at the moon that is a Werewolf horror movie?
Director Sean Ellis’ gothic thriller The Cursed will be released in theaters on February 18, 2022. Written and helmed by Sean Ellis, The Cursed stars Boyd Holbrook, Kelly Reilly and Alistair Petrie in a reimagining of the werewolf legend.
Ellis said: “The Cursed was born from the desire to reimagine and update the Werewolf legend for a modern day audience. I wanted to play on the known folklore of the legend and give it a fresh approach to the cliched story devices that have been copied from the original 1941 film, The Wolf Man.”
In the late 1800s, a once-peaceful remote country village is under attack—but by who or what, no one knows. Villagers spread rumors of a cursed land, supernatural forces, and even demonic creatures, as the disappearances and killings continue. Pathologist John McBride arrives to investigate the danger,...

"You will all pay for the sins made by our elders." Ld Entertainment has unveiled an official trailer for the film The Cursed, which is the new titled for the horror thriller called Eight for Silver. This premiered at last year's Sundance Film Festival under the Eight for Silver titled, received mixed reviews with some bits of praise. In rural 19th-century France, a mysterious, possibly supernatural menace threatens a small village. John McBride, a pathologist, comes to town to investigate -- and exorcise some of his own demons in the process. This is a werewolf film, which isn't so much of a spoiler, because it's a "reimagining" meaning the mythology is not what you're expecting. You'll have to watch to find out what that means! Starring Boyd Holbrook, with Kelly Reilly, Alistair Petrie, Roxane Duran, Nigel Betts, Stuart Bowman, Simon Kunz, and Amelia Crouch. I caught this last year and it's solid,...

Martina McBride's new song "Reckless" is an opportunity for the singer to celebrate taking chances - and judging from the tune's video, recklessness agrees with her. "It's a really unique sound," McBride tells People of her new single. "I feel like the production is definitely fresh and different, but I also I feel like my singing is very familiar. It's the kind of song people hear and people say, 'Oh, that sounds like her.'" The singer is also excited about the song's message. "My interpretation of it is it's about gratitude for unconditional love and it's about being vulnerable,...

When it comes to music Martina McBride says she has always gravitated towards songs that “portray women with strength.”
It comes as no surprise, then, that the country singer’s biggest piece of advice for her three daughters is to “be a leader, not a follower.”
“I hope they hear that in the back of their heads when they’re in a group,” she adds in a new interview with Babble. “I think it’s important, especially when navigating their way through peer pressure and making a place for themselves.”

Kevin Winter/Getty As Martina McBride’s three daughters have gotten older, the country singer says balancing work and family has gotten harder — not easier. When the girls were younger, it was easy to bring them on the road as mom would tour in support of her country music career; Now that older daughters Delaney Katharine, 14, and Emma Justine, 11, are entering their formative years things have gotten complicated, however! “For instance, this weekend, the two older ones will stay home because they have volleyball tryouts and the freshman retreat and different things that they have to do for school,” she explains.
“So, as their school life becomes more and more important and they become more involved, it’s harder for us to get out and tour definitely.”
