There’s no shortage of demonic possession movies out there, but you’ve never seen one quite likeLuz. The directorial debut fromTilman Singeris trim, tense, and strangely sexy spin on the subgenre that takes bold strides in style and staging without losing the thread of its surreal journey into the dark unknown. Moody, and stylish from the first frames to the last,LuzfollowsLuana Velisas the title character, a woman from Chile working as a cabbie in Germany....

We’re officially less than one week away from the release ofDaredevil: Born Again, and Marvel Studios is ramping up the promotion with new teasers and TV spots for the series almost daily. The official Daredevil X account posted a new 45-second teaser featuring the most violent action the MCU has ever seen, as well as new dialogue fromJon Bernthal’s Punisher, who asks Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) if he wants to get his hands on someone, and if he wants to hurt them....

Miss Balamay seem like an odd movie to remake during this current political climate. After all, the original Mexican film from 2011 is based on the true story ofLaura Zúñiga, a beauty pageant contestant who was caught outside of Guadalajara, Jalisco with a truck full of cartel members and ammunition. (Zúñiga was on her way to represent Mexico in the Miss International 2009 pageant.) InCatherine Hardwicke’s (13,Twilight) update,Miss Balataps into a more current vein by turning the protagonist from a Mexican beauty queen to Gloria Meyer (Gina Rodriguez), an American makeup artist visiting a friend in Baja....

TheScary Stories to Tell in the Darkadaptation from directorAndré Øvredaland producerGuillermo del Torois going to bring to life dozens of horrifying creations first dreamed up inAlvin Schwartz’s generation-traumatizing books: Harold the homicidal scarecrow. The Pale Lady. The ghoul with the missing big toe. But a new poster reveals the one original creature that was patched together exclusively for the film. He’s called The Jangly Man, and I would very much like to not look at him any more than is necessary....

I say this with extreme cautious optimism … thisTrue DetectiveSeason 3 trailer is giving me serious Season 1 vibes. And since I absolutely loved and was haunted by Season 1 for a very long time (especially during that Season 2 mess), this is a good thing. The new season cribs a lot from that first , including bringing the show back to just a story of two detectives following a crime out in the gothic southern boondocks....

Paramount+ has changed the fate of theDexterprequel starringPatrick Gibson, months after a renewal was announced. Paramount came forward in April and revealed thatDexter: Original Sinhad been renewed for Season 2, a decision which has since been walked back. In a stunning move, Variety reports that the streamer has gone back on its word —Dexter: Original Sinhas been canceled and will not receive a second season, despite it being greenlit months ago....

The official trailer for the all-in-one filmmaking teamAaron MoorheadandJustin Benson’s fifth feature filmSomething in the Dirthas just dropped. Likethe teaser that came before it, this two-minute fever dream of a clip suggests this duo has yet again managed to create something that blurs the lines of an indie art film and a creeping science fiction horror. From the producers ofPiggyand the upcoming action filmHavoc, starringTom Hardy, XYZ Films presentsSomething in the Dirt, the latest film from writer-director-producers Moorhead and Benson....

Though he’s already signed on to makeThe Heat 2with his screenwriting partnerKatie Dippold,Paul Feighasn’t made sequelizing a habit. However, one property he says he’d to expand isSpy. During an interview withEmpire magazine, the filmmaker said he already has an idea drummed up forSpy 2that will happen withMelissa McCarthyand — drumroll, please —Jason Statham’s Rick Ford. Word of a sequel was revealed last year byThe Guardian, who reported Feig was already working on another chapter before cameras even began rolling onGhostbusters....

In the lead up to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, we desperately wanted to know what the film was about, but Disney and J.J. Abrams wouldn’t budge. I can’t recall another blockbuster that kept such a tight lid on the plot, and kudos for them seeing it through. I doubt Rian Johnson will put that much emphasis on secrecy, and while the box office numbers might reinforce the importance of mystique, the studio, which loves to oversell its movies, will likely chalk up the success to this singular event and resort to their old playbook....

Over the course of decades, genres of films rise and fall in popularity. Westerns were a staple of Hollywood films from the 1930s straight through to the 50s, before giving way to the spike in popularity of musicals and horror pictures in the 60s. The 70s continued to be an incredibly successful time for horror and also saw the rise of sci-fi and superhero films withStar WarsandSupermanreleasing in the late 70s and quickly becoming the highest-grossing films of the decade....

In the pantheon of “sequel subtitles,” I’m not sure I’ve heard a better recent one thanThe Princess Switch: Switched Again. The upcoming 2020 sequel to the 2018 Netflix Christmas hit knows what we want — switch the princess again! — and promises it to us, in as blunt terms as possible. If you’re ready to get your switch on (and I ain’t talkin’Nintendo), check out the first images and release date forThe Princess Switch: Switched Againbelow....

Wheneverany popular book series is adapted to film, there is always a legion of book fans who will quibble over the minutiae of every detail of the adaptation and take issue with every deviation from the source material. While it is true of almost every adaptation, when it comes to the most popular book series and one of the most successful film franchises of all time, the differences, and the debate over them, can become exponentially more ferocious and complicated....
