The superhero genre has been deified to the point that each new release has a potential to be a culturally significant touchstone or a violently divisive expose of fandom toxicity. Expectations are atmospherically high as it is nearly impossible to please the endless social media prison yards and wild west saloons. We live in an age where everyone has an opinion which will be heard and where an off comment or tweet can see your entire career end in an instant. Safe, family friendly adventure films in which teamwork and sacrifice allow heroes to overcome their differences and rule the day is the formula, and there will be sequels. Leave it to James Gunn to take the formula, run it through a pitch-black filter or blood, brains, and absolute mayhem to

After nearly ten years it looks like we may finally see a sequel to Josh Trank's film, Chronicle. The found footage movie that was obviously influenced by Akira ended up being a financial hit for the studio and continues to have a large cult following. Although the movie was successful, the same cannot be said for Trank's career. After Chronicle, the director saw a string of failures and a firing from the Star Wars universe by Kathleen Kennedy. Now it's said that they are finally working on a follow up to the movie with a story that will take place a decade after the events of the first chapter. At the time of its release, it was fully expected that there would be a continuation but nothing ever came of it. It finally looks to be happening. Producer John Davis said that Chronic

Megan Fox is often perceived as a forgettable talent, relegated to family friendly action films. Aside from her outstanding performance in Jennifer's Body, Fox has not been given a project that truly allowed her to showcase her talent. 2020's Rogue hinted at Fox's untapped potential, but it is S.K. Dale's thrilling debut feature, Till Death that allows her to shine. Featuring an unforgettable central performance, an unnervingly tense script, and an inescapable ambiance of dread, this is an excellent piece of independent filmmaking. Trapped in an isolated, snow choked cabin while handcuffed to a body, Emma is in the fight of her life. As a ghost from her past quickly descends upon the cabin, Emma is forced to embrace violence in order to survive.&nbs

That surreal psychological horror film about a British sound engineer tasked wit mixing a 1970s giallo film starring Toby Jones. Initially the film begins as an homage before midway unraveling into a kind of hyperkinetic influx psychodrama in which neither the protagonist or the viewer are sure of their senses of reality anymore. That’s important to consider when assessing Irish newcomer Prano Bailey-Bond’s new debut horror film Censor, a film that is as much of an homage to the era of British video nasty horror movies on cassette tape as it is a sensory freakout concerning the unresolved disappearance of a young girl.

The original film went on to gross over $311 million worldwide which of course spawned the idea for sequels. Currently, two are planned which will premiere on Netflix. The streaming studio recently bought the rights to the next entries for an estimated $400 million. There is no word on whether they plan a limited theatrical run quite yet.

When it comes to killers, there are all different kinds: male, female; young, old; handsome, hideous. While there are patterns many of them follow, you can never quite be certain if the person walking past you on the street is a murderer based on looks alone. They usually look like us, go to the same places as us, and do the same activities as us.In Vicious Fun, we see this notion brought to screen, coated with a thick layer of '80s horror nostalgia for added style.

Courtesy of VCI Entertainment Just four years after making his ornate and still shocking giallo The Bloodstained Butterfly, Duccio Tessari dabbled in and out of the spaghetti western subgenre and the noir genre again before once more returning to giallo in 1974 with Puzzle, an ensemble thriller involving amnesia, drug trade, double crossing and brutal murder. Co-written by Tessari, the film prominently features Luc Merenda from Sergio Martino’s giallo classic Torso as an Italian man trapped in London stricken with amnesia. But after a mystery man in black named Philip (Manfred Freyberger) starts following him, it becomes clear he and his wife Sara (Senta Berger) are in danger due to missing drugs and longstanding overdue debts.

Every few years it seems that a studio is rebooting or revamping the tale of Zorro with a new film or iteration of the character. Well, they're at it again. It looks as though director Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don't Breathe) has been tapped to tell the latest tale about the masked swashbuckler. The latest version will be a origin tale of sorts as it will tell of what's said to be his first adventure, The Curse of Capistrano. The story was first a five part magazine serial and novel that was turned into the 1920 film, The Mark of Zorro. This has been in development for a while now but it looks as though Sony is finally getting to work on the project. This will be the first Zorro film release since 2005's The Legend of Zorro which saw Antonio Banderas reprise the role from

In a controversial but common practice with lower budgeted science-fiction/horror films slated for drive-in theaters during the mid-60s, Harrington and Corman would rifle through preexisting Russian or Czech sci-fi films and strip them of their special effects shots to be repurposed into whatever new narrative feature they were making ala Turkish Star Wars. The first of which was Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet in 1965, recut from the Soviet film Planeta Bur followed by Q

In the wake of Jaws’record-breaking success, endless clones of killer animal films flooded the cinema. Although there were many thoughtless entries, Lewis Teague's Alligatoris not only a violent satirical masterwork, it is also a surprisingly progressive provocation against corporate greed and law enforcement corruption. Building upon a foundation of urban legends, and propelled by a hilarious script by John Sayles (Lonestar), this is truly a lost cult gem that deserves a revival. An alligator is flushed into the sewers of Chicago. After years of feeding off the corpses of toxic experimental animals, the now 36-foot monster terrorizes the city and only a disgraced detective and a reptile expert can stop it.

The adaptation of Matt Ruff's novel was highly successful for the cable outlet just like their Watchmen series the previous year. But HBO has decided to pull the plug on Misha Green's series before it could head into a second season. Green had apparently been working on ideas for a while for a new batch of episodes. However, the execs at HBO decided they'd rather not continue and keep the first season as its own entity. There were rumors that the second season would be filming in 2021, but that was never confirmed. Now, it's a done deal.
