The same day he joined the cast of the new Indiana Jones movie, Mads Mikkelsen is already back in the news thanks to action-thriller Riders of Justice, which just debuted its trailer. Mikkelsen stars in director Anders Thomas Jensen’s “fresh take on the revenge action-thriller.” The violent film “follows recently-deployed Markus (Mads Mikkelsen), who is

Need a hit of Resident Evil Village news this morning? Game Informer has posted a new video for the upcoming title that focuses on Village‘s upgrade system.

Vermintide 2 fans won’t have to wait very long for the next DLC, as Fatshark has dropped a few new hints on the upcoming free DLC in “Chaos Wastes” that lands April 20th on Steam. The new update will add a “rogue-lite inspired” game mode, which will no doubt please those players looking for more

Some bonds are stronger than blood. Earlier this year, Arrow Films acquired the possession road movie Threshold for release in various territories, which was shot with two iPhones over the course of a 12-day road trip with a crew of three, and largely improvised by the lead actors. Fangoria brings us the word today that

One of the few major productions to plow through the height of the pandemic was the fifth Scream, which filmed last fall in Wilmington, North Carolina. While it won’t be slashing its way into theaters until next year, the filmmakers are currently in post-production tinkering with what will be the first without Wes Craven. The

It started with a list of six themes which was cut down to four and then two. And now Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” poll is in its final stage with, well, a recount! Once again, we still don’t entirely understand the purpose of these polls, but it seems Murphy and the “AHS” team are

Following in the wake of Red State and Tusk, Kevin Smith returns to horror with Killroy Was Here, a horror-comedy creature anthology inspired by the “KilRoy Was Here” graffiti that was prominent during World War II. It’s been a bit since we’ve heard a peep about the movie, with the trailer releasing late last year, but today brings an interesting update.

Dolls make for one of horror’s creepiest subgenres. The more human they look, the more it triggers feelings of revulsion; this relational concept is known as the uncanny valley. Horror takes it a step further by exploiting our worst fears that the tiny playthings aren’t so inanimate after all. In the genre space, dolls seek

From creator Jeff Baena and executive producers the Duplass Brothers, Showtime has ordered up a new anthology series titled “Cinema Toast,” Variety reports tonight. This one sounds quite interesting, with “Cinema Toast” set to put a new spin on classic public domain movies including the late George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. “The

It all started with the animated television series Mobile Suit Gundam back in 1979, the Yoshiyuki Tomino-created sci-fi franchise subsequently spawning countless movies, shows, games and more. Up next, the Japanese Gundam franchise is getting a live-action movie, with Netflix announcing today that Jordan Vogt-Roberts (Kong: Skull Island) is on board to direct! Netflix announced

It’s the end of an era for Yahoo! Answers. The internet’s demented version of “20 Questions” will be getting the axe later this year. But before that happens, a group of intrepid modders decided to do the “right thing”, and port over the best of Yahoo! Answers to Sega’s The Typing of The Dead: Overkill.

For old-school fans, you might remember a little game from Free Radical Design from 2004 called Second Sight. It was also ported to the PC, but ended up being taken off of Steam back in 2012. Well, lucky for you (and thanks to THQ Nordic for snagging the rights), it’s back! Created by the same

Memory is a fickle thing. The very faculty that stores and remembers information throughout our lives don’t always encode and process the data as it happens. Sometimes memories are unreliable, offering only scrambled fragments upon recollection. Other times, events that occur prove so traumatizing that memory represses it from access. It’s with this that Caveat crafts

The movie has been out for a couple weeks now so it’s probably safe to mention that MechaGodzilla does indeed make an appearance in Adam Wingard’s Godzilla vs. Kong, which was never all that much of a secret anyway. Various toy reveals had spilled the beans months ago, to the point that the trailers even

“People get a bit funny in the woods sometimes.” This benign line uttered in the trailer for Ben Wheatley’s latest doesn’t come remotely close to hinting at the madness that unfolds for its lead characters. Neither do the brief images of the hallucinatory journey that unfolds. In the Earth takes place in the pandemic afflicted present, yet shares

“This is it. Your last chance!” It started with a list of six themes which was then cut down to four, and now just two final competitors remain in the “American Horror Story” poll Ryan Murphy launched last week. We still don’t know exactly *why* Murphy started this poll, we must remind, but it seems

The adage “be careful what you wish for” takes on a sinister threat in the realm of horror. Wishes granted never bring happiness, and they come with a steep price tag. The wish granted often comes in the form of a supernatural entity; an evil genie or djinn. With The Djinn, cursed wish-fulfillment befalls a young

Author Grady Hendrix released his second novel My Best Friend’s Exorcism back in 2016, which he describes as “Beaches meets The Exorcist.” Set in the late ’80s during the so-called Satanic Panic, it’s a touching story of high school friendship and, well, demonic possession. THR reports today that a movie adaptation is now in the works

Set for release next month, Disney’s live-action film Cruella is something of a punk rock origin story for the classic 101 Dalmatians villain Cruella de Vil, with Academy Award winner Emma Stone in the title role.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of Tobe Hooper’s original Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Not only is it a near-perfect scary movie, but it (alongside Bob Clark’s Black Christmas) also ushered in a new era of horror, setting the groundwork for countless Slasher flicks. Being such an influential property, it’s not surprising that the mad

The Collector franchise was set to become a trilogy as filming had begun in Atlanta on The Collected back in September of 2019. It’s unclear what caused production to shut down, but at one point, it was set to resume earlier this year in Vancouver, Canada. It hasn’t…and the filmmakers are pissed. Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton

2013’s Evil Dead has aged incredibly well and has since become revered by many horror fans, including yours truly. As the years go by, it becomes one of my favorite horror films of all time.
