Certain names frequently pop up in conversations about top-shelf horror comedies. These include Sam Raimi (the Evil Dead trilogy, for starters), Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator), Joe Dante (Gremlins, for one), John Landis (An American Werewolf In London), and Wes Craven (Scream), and brilliant relative
It didn't take long for Severance to become a widely lauded series when it first premiered in February of 2022. A strong cast, a curious premise, the creation of an interesting world, and a critical edge about capitalism and corporate culture fueled the series' widespread success, before COVID
Thanks to adaptations like The Last of Us, Fallout, and (frankly) the Sonic films, we’re well past the era where video game adaptations necessarily provoke low expectations (though, surely, the stream of high points is a recent trend). In addition to being an example of that trend, the latter has
In its heyday, American folk music had a passionate fanbase due, in part, because of the ability of its greatest artists to reveal aspects of America to itself and fight for greater ideals. Like Woody Guthrie’s “Tear The Fascists Down,” Joan Baez’ “Oh Freedom,” or Pete Seeger’s “The
Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu is finally here, and in many ways it’s the culmination of his career thus far for both its extraordinary development of atmosphere and dread, and its rich return to the story’s source material and folkloric roots. Like The Witch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman,
In 2008, the New Zealand folk parody band Flight of the Conchords released their self-titled album, and with it the track "Robots," originally debuting in live form on the pilot episode of their self-titled HBO sitcom. About a "distant future" where robots ruled the world, its lyrics detailing it's
The Star Wars original trilogy introduced fans to world-class worldbuilding, from hordes of extraterrestrial species, numerous droids, many wildly different worlds, political factions, and one of the coolest weapons in film history in the famous lightsaber. We’ve since had decades of novels,
A good parent will do anything for the welfare of their children. Nowhere is that more true than in George Nolfi’s Elevation, where a father has to travel from a safe haven into indestructible-beast-ruled territory to save his son's life. It's a gorgeously shot film with well designed creatures,
Sometimes the best way to access the core of a film is to let it take you over completely. Locked behind metaphorical dialogue and an obtuse artistry, the key to the door is simply letting it all in and fester inside until the understanding comes to light. You can't second-screen a film like this,
Remaking Faces of Death is a hell of a move in 2026. Although, this movie doesn't really remake that diabolical film from 1978, it instead takes inspiration from it and it even exists in the universe that this film takes place in. So getting that out of the way so that the horror "diehards" who
The trailer for A24's The Drama does a great job of keeping things intentionally vague. We meet Charlie (Robert Pattinson) and Emma (Zendaya), a couple about to get married who seem like they know everything about each other… until they very clearly don’t. One drunken night at dinner with
