Horror films have seen a resurgence lately. It’s a genre that isn’t just defined by how scary it is, or how gory it is. Horror is nuanced and oftentimes romantic, and when it is given the freedom to be what it wants to be, it’s also complex and thought-provoking. And with the nearly endless
Director Gore Verbinski has been absent for some time. As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and it made his first film in nearly a decade, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die, that much better. It's an ode to quirky sci-fi, and a reminder that it's okay to go into a film simply to have fun

DC Studios is branching out. Instead of following the normal comic-book movie playbook, we're getting a movie based on the Batman villain, Clayface. Clayface is an interesting look at what we can do when a comic-book villain gets humanized a bit. The film stars Tom Rhys Harries as Matt Hagen, an
Just like the Street Fighter movie of the 90s, it's been quite a while since someone has tried to bring the video game back to the big screen. We had Mortal Kombat II earlier this year (which led to quite the rivalry between the two casts), which made the more absurd and video game-like features
Few studios have set such a precedent within their own genre quite like Laika Studios. With each painstakingly crafted story, they consistently find new ways to level up stop motion animation and push the limits of what can be accomplished. Stop motion is already a marvelous feat of patience and
