2024 was another year when a lot of our favorite streaming shows got abruptly canceled. In the horror genre, one of the biggest offenders was Paramount, cancelingEvilafter four seasons. They did give it fourextra episodes to wrap up most of the storylines, but the pain of its fate still remains. Despite being aParamount+exclusive, a lot of its rabid following was found onNetflixwhen the first two seasons debuted on the streamer earlier this year....

It’s finally time! After over a year of anticipation and speculation since the release ofStar Wars: The Last Jedi, we finally have some concrete information on what to expect from “the end of the Skywalker saga,”Star Wars: Episode IX, now officially titled,Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

New clips have emerged fromDavid Ayer’sSuicide Squadahead of the film’s August 5th theatrical opening. The clips show off the team members' individual strengths and surprising cooperation when they’re forced to work together as a team. They’re light on action and focused on showing off character traits and quirks, which is preferable to revealing more of the film’s plot to close to its release. As a bonus, watch over nine minutes of B-roll footage includes a lot of behind-the-scenes looks at the production, along with an alternate costume for Harley Quinn!...

Ah, October. Fall is in full swing, everything is pumpkin-spiced, and the hunger for good genre films is never higher. Fortunately for those who are looking ever-forward for the next great genre flick, I spent last week knee-deep in exciting upcoming genre films in Austin, Texas thanks to FantasticFest, where I spent eight days watching the weirdest, wildest and best of upcoming sci-fi, fantasy, action, and horror. You can read my fullFantasticFest recaphere, but basically, Tim League and the folks at Alamo Drafthouse scour the world for the most exciting new genre on the market, roll it up in a party-and-bbq ball, and serve it up to their loyal attendees over the eight-day festival....

The popularity of “dime store detective novels” and other mystery stories within the early 20th century had a significant impact on Hollywood, leading to the emergence of the noir genres. Some of the earliest film noirs followed grizzled, world-weary detectives likeHumphrey Bogart’s Sam Spade,as they were trapped within complex mysteries filled with morally dubious characters. While original noirs typically were confined to their urban environments and followed similar models, the concept began to expand thanks to the subgenre of “neo-noirs,” which transplanted similar narrative arcs into different settings....

When first we coveredThe Watch, the upcoming BBC America series inspired byTerry Pratchett’s long-running, influentialDiscworldseries of novels, we did our best to appease to long-running fans of that series and how they might feel based on the first trailer’s swings. But now we have a second trailer. And it’s clear the show itself is no longer catering to please these die-hard Pratchett-heads, instead going for wider, broader cultural touchstones to get you watching in January....

Attempting to summarize the entire history of the horror genre in 10 movies seems impossible, and any list is going to be met with backlash. The genre is so broad andhas such a dense and vast historythat it is near impossible to quantify. This collection of movies merely serves to give a flavor of the progression of the genre, showing how it has changed over time - it inherently has to span decades and that means classics of the genre have to be left out....

For more than a decade, American citizens have been fearful of a divided country leading to an outbreak of violence. Hollywood has often depicted such nightmare scenarios in dystopian movies asAlex Garland’sCivil WarandThe Purgefranchise. Yet, on a low-budget scale, 2017’sBushwickbrings the chaos outside the major cities and into America’s backyard. The gentrified Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick serves as the backdrop for a full-scale insurgency inJonathan MilottandCary Murnion’s relentless thriller. As a depiction of the outbreak of a second Civil War,Bushwickputs politics in the background to put the viewer amid the chaos while its stars,Dave BautistaandBrittany Snow,fight their way to survival....
