Halloween movies hit cinemas

It’s Halloween and with it comes the movies that go bump in the night.

‘Boo! A Madea Halloween’ features Tyler Perry in three roles as well as being the writer and director.

Madea is a sassy elderly woman caught in a paranormal adventure.

The character Tyler Perry said is based on the traditional idea of a grandmother.

“I just think that people miss this kind of grandmother. She was around all the time in days gone by, and she’s not around anymore.”

The film is raking it in in the US and is out in Europe over the weekend.

Another movie for the season is Ouija: Origin of Evil, a seance scam movie until an authentic evil spirit enters and takes possession of one of the female scammers.

The latest Marvel character blockbuster Doctor Strange has already received critical acclaim and warm audience reception.

Director Scott Derrickson is keeping both feet firmly on the ground.

“Yeah, it’s wonderful. I try not to think about that when I’m making the movie and now that they’re coming out I’m still trying not to think about them but it is relieving. I do feel relieved that people are responding to it the way that they are. It’s great,” said the film’s director, Scott Derrickson.

Doctor Strange stars Benedict Cumberbatch as neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange, who after a car crash becomes a link between the here and the hereafter guided by Tilda Swinton’s the ancient one.
