The Last Duel Review Ridley Scott S Most Timely Historical Epic

The Lazarus Effect Review

As the story of a group of researchers attempting to play God and finding out that they are actually dealing with something far more hellacious, The Lazarus Effect is the quintessential B-horror film that builds on a very tantalizing concept, and then buries it deep in the earth for the sake of familiar jump scares and failing light switches. However, it does enjoy one genuine thrill where no screeching score or sound effects are necessary: Olivia Wilde’s wonderfully demented performance as a modern day Frankenstein monster who revels in the wrath of a woman scorned....

The Legend Of Zelda Why Link Never Speaks

While voice acting has become the norm in video games, Nintendo’s landmark series The Legend of Zelda has primarily stuck to its non-voiced roots. The franchise only recently started exploring voice acting with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild via voiced cutscenes, and yet despite all of the characters talking around him, Link never utters a word in the game except for the usual grunts of “Hyut!” and “Hya!...

The Orville New Horizons Season 3 Episode 2 Review Shadow Realms

The Orville: New Horizons Season 3 Episode 2 The season 3 premiere of The Orville: New Horizons reinforced why this show picked up in popularity in its second season. It was poignant and character-driven, but not without the trademark Seth MacFarlane humor and sense of adventure. It accomplished so much, as well, introducing new characters, new dynamics, story threads that will undoubtedly be revisited and gave audience members the sense that this new era on Hulu is in fact a shinier “new horizon....

The Sandman Trailer Breakdown Which Stories From The Dc Comics Are Being Adapted

The upcoming Netflix series — developed by Gaiman, Batman Begins screenwriter David S. Goyer, and Young Avengers creator Allan Heinberg — seems to follow the same approach. As confirmed at the SDCC Sandman panel, each of the 10 episodes in season one will tell a different story from the Sandman universe. Attendees of the panel received a glimpse of those worlds, with clips from three episodes. The rest of us all received a look at the trailer, which gives more insight on the characters and tales from Gaiman’s run that are coming to our screens....

The Secret Origin Of The Harley Quinn Animated Series

Therein, amidst the blood, the occasional entrails, and all of the f-bombs (and we do mean all of them) you may find the Harley Quinn animated series. An unapologetically filthy and hilarious celebration of Gotham City’s seedy underbelly, animated in a style that wouldn’t be out of place on a traditional Batman adventure cartoon. So how the actual fuck did they manage to pull this off? We spoke with executive producers and writers Patrick Schumacker and Justin Halpern about bringing Harley Quinn to life....

The Show Trailer Alan Moore Movie Teases Trippy Nightmare

Mitch Jenkins directed The Show off Moore’s script, continuing behind-camera work he did for three shorts from Moore’s 2014 anthology fantasy film, Show Pieces, to which this film bears a thematic connection, and similarly features Moore’s onscreen reverie-riding character named Frank Metterton. Check out the trailer for The Show just below. The Show Trailer To attempt to analyze and interpret the montage of madness in The Show trailer would likely be a futile effort, seeing as it seems to showcase an odd crossing of planes—between the waking and dream worlds, along with the afterlife—that manifests as something that dwells in the more acerbically surreal arena of David Lynch’s resume....

The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 6 Review A Serious Flanders Part 1

The Simpsons Season 33 Episode 6 The Simpsons, season 33, episode 6, is proof the series’ installments should be given more room to breathe. The first of a two-part episode takes the time to fill most of the space with laughs. “A Serious Flanders” is a spoof of the FX series Fargo, and the takeoffs are immersive. This is one of the deepest dives into the core of a known series The Simpsons has made in a long time....

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre How Low Budget Filmmaking Created A Classic

Directed by Tobe Hooper, then a largely unknown 20-something filmmaker from Austin, the film’s painfully low budget only added to the misery. Funds didn’t stretch to a wardrobe of multiple costumes, so the cast were forced to wear the same filthy outfit day after day in order to maintain continuity. Several actors, including 18-year-old John Dugan, who plays a catatonic “grandfather,” had to spend hours each day in stifling old-man makeup....

The Untold Stories Of The Green Mile

But John Coffey, as he is called, is more than he seems. Coffey has miraculous powers of healing and empathy, which he deploys for Edgecomb, the prison warden’s wife, and a little mouse who lives on the “mile” and becomes a mascot of sorts. It also becomes clear to Edgecomb that Coffey did not commit the crimes he is accused of, but the time and place being what they are, there’s no way for anyone to stop Coffey’s march down the green mile to the electric chair....

The Walking Dead And Creepshow Showrunner Tells Real Ghost Stories

And it would seem his expertise focusing on so many fictional fears has even brought him closer to some real-world ones. During a recent interview with Den of Geek about his work as showrunner on Shudder’s Creepshow, and as executive producer on The Walking Dead, Nicotero indulged us with his own belief in the paranormal, and his close encounters with the unexplained. “Throughout my travels, I’ve come across things,” he says....

The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 10 Review New Haunts

The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 10 If there was even a starker contrast between two places, it hits the very opening moments of “New Haunts,” the first episode of The Walking Dead to show what life is like in the Commonwealth for the hungry, bedraggled survivors from Alexandria. Sure, they’ve had 30 days to get adjusted, but that’s barely enough time to get used to not having to fight marauders for crumbs....

The Walking Dead Season 11 Part 3 Release Date And What To Expect In The Finale

It’s possible fans thought this day would never arrive for AMC’s long-running zombie drama, but as the series has shown plenty of times throughout its 12-year run of gruesome deaths, all things come to an end. With 16 of the 24 episodes of The Walking Dead Season 11 now out, only eight episodes remain to wrap up this post-apocalyptic epic. The Walking Dead certainly saved its biggest arc for last....

The War Of The Worlds Episode 2 Review A Dreary Dystopia

Pressures on A&E departments being what they are over the festive season, it’s probably for the best that this wasn’t shown at Christmas. (Word had it that this adaptation was originally pencilled in for last year’s festive BBC One drama slot, but Martian fighting machines and complex visual effects being what they are, it wasn’t to be.) So much bleakness against a backdrop of tinselled stress and drink and who knows what might have been the result....

They Them How The Kevin Bacon Horror Film Changes The Rules Of Friday The 13Th

The new one is called They/Them, and it’s from Hollywood horror factory supreme Blumhouse, but it’s got an exceptionally modern twist (thanks to writer-director John Logan) on what quickly became a stale formula after Friday the 13th initially changed the game back in 1980. Bacon stars as Owen Whistler, who welcomes a new group of LGBTQ+ “campers” to his conversion camp with the promise that he’s not out to change any of them, their sexual preferences, or how they identify....

War Of The Worlds Season 2 Recap Timeline Reset Bill S Sacrifice The Virus Threat

At the end of War of the Worlds season two, everything was unravelled. The ‘alien’ invasion, and everything we’d seen happen over the past 16 episodes was undone. With the help of Invader Isla and her dead partner Micah’s time-travel formula, neuroscientist Bill Ward went back in time and stopped it all from ever happening. How? By killing the Invaders’ ancestor Emily Gresham. Bill’s World-Saving Sacrifice When Bill pushed teenager Emily off a hospital roof, he ensured that Emily and Sacha would never meet and sire a tribe of malevolent future-humans who would one day visit present-day Earth (all sporting matching bullseye tattoos copied from Emily’s teenage whim) and slaughter billions....
