You’re not going to find many horror fans who will ever get sick of anthologies. They may not all be good, but they’re almost always worth at least one watch on the likely chance that at least one of the segments will be fun.

One upcoming horror anthology is titled Nightmare Cinema. It features five tales directed by Mick Garris, Joe Dante, David Slade, Alejandro Brugués, and Ryûhei Kitamura, and stars Mickey Rourke as the character who is connected to the various stories, known as The Projectionist.

A new trailer for the movie has been released, and you can find it below along with a synopsis.

SYNOPSIS:

A series of down-on-their-luck individuals enter the decrepit and spine-chilling Rialto theater, only to have their deepest and darkest fears brought to life on the silver screen by The Projectionist – a mysterious, ghostly figure who holds the nightmarish futures of all who attend his screenings.
