Knives Out was a massive hit for Lionsgate back in 2019, pulling in over $300 million worldwide at the box office, so it was only natural that a sequel wouldn’t be too far behind. In fact, it was announced some time ago that a sequel was being developed, and now Deadline reports tonight that *two* sequels are actually in the works, with Netflix on board! “Netflix is closing in on a deal to make two sequels,” Deadline reports. Daniel Craig is set to reprise the role of Benoit Blanc, with...

The wait for Mortal Kombat will be just a tad bit longer, we’ve learned tonight, previously dated for release on April 16th but now bumped to April 23rd as of this moment in time. The rated “R” adaptation of the games comes to theaters and HBO Max same day. Presumably, it’s been slightly bumped to allow Godzilla vs. Kong a bit more time to shine.

This year’s six bonus episodes of “The Walking Dead” that are technically part of the show’s tenth season come to an end this coming Sunday with special episode “Here’s Negan,” which will technically become the true Season 10 finale.

Lucille will be played by Hilarie Burton Morgan, the real-life wife of Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Lucille has been referenced on the AMC series but never actually seen. Lucille died before the zombie...

While it could very well just be for an update to allow newer PCs to be able to play the game, Square Enix has nonetheless pulled Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver from Steam. As reported by VGC, the page is still very much there, but instead of giving you the option to buy the game, you now have a disclaimer saying “Square Enix has temporarily removed this title from sale to work on some important updates. Please check back soon!” Regardless of the update, it’s still odd that Square would...

While non-PS4 gamers might not be getting Bloodborne anytime soon, developer OverBorder Studio and Team17 look to have something of an alternative in their newly-announced title, Thymesia.

Thymesia tells the tale of a kingdom that after discovering the power of alchemy, soon realizes that there’s a price behind it. An attempt to stop alchemy’s use backfired, resulting in the kingdom becoming swarmed with monsters. It’s up to...

Before he took a trip to the Overlook Hotel to adapt Doctor Sleep, Mike Flanagan first dipped his toes into Stephen King‘s library with Gerald’s Game, a novel previously thought to be unfilmable. Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood star as a couple trying to spice up their marriage in a remote lake house. After the husband dies unexpectedly, however, the wife is left handcuffed to their bed frame and must fight to survive and break free. Flanagan’s Gerald’s Game was released onto Netflix in September 2017, with King himself calling...

Alongside grotesque bioweapons, spurious conspiracies, and demented interior design, puzzles are an inextricable part of Resident Evil’s DNA. In fact, they’re so tightly woven into the very fabric of the series, that it feels wrong whenever they’re sidelined. It’s just not an authentic RE experience if you don’t get hopelessly stuck, trying to figure out how some antique relic is meant to get you into an underground facility.  With that in mind, let’s celebrate a few memorable highlights from the franchise’s perplexing history. Please note, we’re only going to be...

As studios continue to rework their distribution plans in the wake of the ongoing pandemic, Paramount Pictures announced that Blumhouse’s upcoming new installment in the Paranormal Activity franchise would be going straight to Paramount+. At the time, a March 4, 2022 date had been slotted, although it was unclear if there would be a theatrical component to the Paramount+ premieres, much like that of HBO Max and Warner Bros. As of this writing, Paramount has pulled the film from their release calendar, which could mean one of two things: the film will...

Between 2009’s Sherlock Holmes movie, the 2010 series Sherlock, and last year’s Enola Holmes, Netflix’s offerings of Arthur Conan Doyle-inspired works gives a strong indicator of its enduring legacy. Sherlock Holmes, his friend Dr. Watson, and their sleuthing skills transformed detective fiction and amassed icon status in the centuries since initial publication. Lesser known in the canon is the Baker Street Irregulars, a group of street kids that aided Holmes in a few mysteries. The Irregulars aims to cast these characters in a new light, creating an eight-episode series that descends Victorian London into supernatural darkness...

Additionally, we’ve learned the film will take a bite out of Shudder on April 22.
