Nine months after its shocking Season 4 finale, Netflix’s teen karate juggernaut, “Cobra Kai,” returns with an epic 5th season.

The Inception Of Saw Began With The Design Of Billy The Puppet Lionsgate By Drew Tinnin/Oct. 19, 2022 4:02 pm EST Way before the brutality of Art the Clown from “Terrifier 2” hit the scene, mainstream horror audiences were stuck with the creepy puppet from “Saw” squeaking along on his cute, tiny tricycle. After eight sequels and a “Spiral,” the sick and twisted morality game hosted by the madman mastermind John “Jigsaw” Kramer (the illustrious Tobin Bell) shows no signs of letting up....

The Munsters And The Addams Family Will Face Off Again, After Six Decades, On Netflix Universal Pictures By Eric Vespe/July 18, 2022 8:16 pm EST Well, it looks like “The Munsters” are headed to Netflix instead of Universal’s Peacock. Gotta give Bloody-Disgusting credit for breaking this news back in May, and that was before anyone saw the trailer and wondered what the hell Universal was thinking spending their money on that!...

The Rings Of Power Is The Most Chaste Current Fantasy Show With The Hottest Chemistry By Lyvie Scott/Oct. 15, 2022 8:00 am EST Spoilers below for the finale of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.” Chemistry’s a funny thing. It’s not something you can fake, much less force, and it’s equally hard to quantify. All that aside, I think we all know chemistry when we see it — and it’s been a long, long time since we’ve seen it used to its full potential....

The Todd Haynes Poison Controversy Explained: An Indie Classic Goes To The Culture Wars Zeitgeist Films By Jeremy Smith/Sept. 20, 2022 7:00 am EST If Reverend Donald Wildmon of the far-right American Family Association was to be believed in 1991, the United States government had, via the National Endowment for the Arts, financed gay porn. The movie in question was Todd Haynes’ “Poison,” a triptych of short stories riffing on the work of homosexual writer Jean Genet, and, you probably won’t be surprised to learn, was as far from a skin flick as “A Man for All Seasons....

Thor: Love And Thunder Giveaway: Win A 4K Best Buy Steelbook And Signed D23 Expo Poster Marvel Studios By Erin Brady/Sept. 27, 2022 9:12 am EST “Thor: Love and Thunder” was one hell of a ride, as were the Marvel Studios announcements from D23 Expo that took place earlier this month. While no updates were made at the semi-annual convention regarding Thor’s next movie, we still got to see the extensive creative process that each film undergoes before it arrives in theaters....

Why It Feels So Weird When Star Trek Uses Pop Music Paramount By Witney Seibold/Dec. 20, 2022 3:00 pm EST It was weird from the start. Sometime in 2008, trailers for J.J. Abrams’ upcoming film “Star Trek” began to appearing theaters. This new film, the previews announced this quite clearly, was going to be quite different from the “Star Trek” of yore. This was going to be “Star Trek” — to employ a dated slang term — on steroids....

15 Best Films Of The 1940s Universal Pictures By Audrey Fox/Nov. 20, 2022 3:27 pm EST With half the decade spent in the midst of a century-defining world war and the other half spent recovering from its horrors, it’s understandable that cinema in the 1940s would be a little bit on the dark side. While films explicitly about World War II dominated the early years of the 1940s, they quickly gave way to utterly unique film noir movies....

Master of suspense Paramount Pictures The majority of modern scary movies are full of graphic violence, naked bodies, and buckets of blood, which often earns a jump or yelp when paired with the film’s boogie man. While this is a respectable recipe for fright, Hitchcock proved that a horror sequence doesn’t need nudity, gore, or a bunch of naughty bits to scare the crap out of the audience. Despite being one of the most famous death scenes in cinematic history, the killing of Marion Crane (Janet Leigh) in “Psycho” has none of the expected gore of a typical horror scene, but still manages to elicit tension and chills from viewers....

Andrew Scott Asked For His Own Lines To Be Cut While Playing Sherlock’s Moriarty BBC By Fatemeh Mirjalili/Oct. 29, 2022 8:30 pm EST Before Andrew Scott became known for being the Internet’s “hot priest,” he was the resident pain-in-the-ass on BBC’s “Sherlock.” Scott portrayed Jim Moriarty, a sadistic, psychopathic individual with Machiavellian traits and a penchant for pissing off the world-famous fictional detective. During the antagonist’s occasional appearances in the series, Scott displayed his character’s depravity and bone-chilling hatred for Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock; his performance highlighted their twisted rivalry and made it stand out unlike any Sherlock Holmes adaptation had done before....

Halloween Ends Kicks Off Its Kills With An Homage To An Underseen Indie Horror Movie Universal By Tyler Llewyn Taing/Oct. 17, 2022 5:48 pm EST This article contains minor spoilers for “Halloween Ends.” Corey Cunningham (Rohan Campbell) is the name on every horror fan’s lips right now. He’s the surprise, breakout character of David Gordon Green’s final chapter in his reboot trilogy, “Halloween Ends.” Sure, Green’s trilogy might be an uneven, thematically inconsistent set of films, but Green certainly deserves some brownie points for taking large risks in his attempts to innovate the “Halloween” franchise....

House Of The Dragon Has Made Paddy Considine’s King Viserys One Of The Great Fantasy Characters Of All Time HBO By Mike Shutt/Oct. 10, 2022 2:00 pm EST This post contains spoilers for the latest episode of “House of the Dragon.” In fiction, depictions of monarchs tend to go in one of three ways. There are the hagiographies, where we are meant to look in awe at the noble ruler who looks out for and defends their people....

A reason to spend time away from family TriStar Pictures Julia Roberts knows better than most that a good romantic comedy is tough to make. Her track record within the genre succeeds so much more than many of her contemporaries because she has a pretty good eye for material, along with terrific natural comedic instincts. She recently said to the New York Times about working in rom-coms: “This is a genre that I love to participate in and watch, and I think they are hard to get right....

Logan Ending Explained: The X-Men Must End By Witney Seibold/Aug. 14, 2022 9:00 pm EST James Mangold’s 2017 superhero film “Logan” is unique within the genre for the simple fact that it ends. Inspired by the Mark Millar and Steve McNiven comic book series “Old Man Logan,” Mangold’s film takes place in a future of the X-Men universe wherein the man once known as Wolverine has grown into a scarred, defeated, sad, kind of pathetic elderly man....

Naomi Watts Took Great Care Not To Terrify Her Young Co-Stars In Goodnight Mommy [Exclusive] Prime Video By Jeremy Smith/Sept. 15, 2022 5:28 pm EST Naomi Watts is no stranger to making horror movies with kids. She was phenomenal in Gore Verbinski’s remake of Hideo Nakata’s “The Ring” as a mother desperate to save her son from the fatal consequences of having watched a cursed videotape. She also appeared in Jim Sheridan’s “Dream House,” which leans in part on the old creepy dead girls trope....

New Beavis And Butt-Head Clip Brings Plenty Of Fire And TikTok Commentary Paramount+ By BJ Colangelo/July 22, 2022 8:57 pm EST Can you hear the sweet symphony of nasally grunts and breathy laughter? If not, you will soon, because Mike Judge’s “Beavis and Butt-Head” are back, baby!

A Fifth Shrek Movie Is In Development DreamWorks In November 2018, it was revealed that a new “Shrek” movie was being developed by Universal Pictures. Chris Meledandri (“Despicable Me”) was tasked with finding “fresh story lines” for both this franchise, as well as the spin-off “Puss In Boots.” Few updates have been provided, officially speaking, since the news first broke. However, given how valuable the franchise is, one has to imagine this has been coming together behind the scenes at the studio....

Terrifier 2 Has Entered The Oscar Race, And Is That Really Such A Crazy Concept? Bloody Disgusting By Drew Tinnin/Nov. 2, 2022 3:55 pm EST Art the Clown from “Terrifer 2” is officially campaigning for Oscar gold at next year’s Academy Awards.
