Despite having similar mythological origins, Vampires and Werewolves are behind one of the most iconic rivalries in media. There are countless books, movies and games that pit these legendary creatures against each other, and everyone has their own opinion on which is the superior monster (I’ve always been firmly on team Werewolf). Today, however, I’d like to explore one of the most iconic takes on this ancient feud by looking back on the insanely popular Underworld franchise and how it reshaped these myths for an ever-evolving audience. The 2000s were...

“I don’t care about the box office. I care about the connection. I want it to be a phenomenon – a cultural phenomenon, where the audience feels some connection to this place, these people, and what was being said here. That’s Jaws, E.T, The Exorcist. All those movies. They just connected.” With this one small excerpt from a Newsweek interview with M. Night Shyamalan in 2002, anybody who initially couldn’t understand the unconventional appeal of the then-white hot director got a nice dose of his philosophy. Conducted right around the...

Time loops and death have become increasingly popular as plot devices in media. From Happy Death Day to Russian Doll and Returnal, the act of replaying the same day over and over has a surprising amount of variety to it. Arkane (Dishonored, Prey) is the latest to take a stab at it, and judging from what I’ve seen of it in action; it’s going to be a loop I won’t want to leave. Deathloop is what Arkane boils down to (quite unapologetically) ‘Dishonored with guns’ and that concept alone intrigues,...
